They're words. WORDS! That's only about 10% of communication, right? The words shouldn't matter. The meaning behind them should. In this case, the term "Pussification of America" means that we're all approaching life with oven mits on and it's ruining our culture.
And you're still hung up on WORDS!

No. I don't use the word pussy to identify myself.
In this case, words are really all we have. There is some graphical communication that might take place by avatar, but essentially the TFP is a word driven communication system. As such, words are important.
I said what i did because it's a gendered insult. It assumes that weakness, coddling, and immaturity are somehow related to women, and women's sexuality. I don't think that's accurate. And i think it sends the wrong message to the women of this community.
I'm not particularly outraged at this, but i don't approve of it either. I've put my two cents in, and that's all i wanted to do.
