Negative descriptions of women and rude ways of expressing dislikes or tastes

This may not be popular or some may find this thread strange. While browsing the forum, my fingers must have missed something on my tablet, and by mistake, I opened the read heads thread in the mens section. The photos of the women were very pretty no doubt, that was not my issue. My issue was the options in the poll, and for the dislike option, was the description of a read head looking like a used tampon. Now I know this poll might be old, and was made a while ago, and some may say I don't belong there, but this is an open forum, and that description struck a negative cord in me, and feel the need to put this out there.

It also points out to a bigger problem with some people, that when they don't like something, they cannot just say nope, and move on, but they have to be nasty and rude, I have seen this in numerous threads when discussing heavier women and those who don't like them. It is a similar thing here, it was not enough to have a simple no thanks option for not digging redheads, but what to me is a very misogynistic and rude disrespectful way to describe a woman, and misogynistic attitude to the natural process of mensuration, and showed a total lack of regard for women in general and no thought at all to how they express themselves.

Now some might say, why the heck is she picking on something like this, but to me, just because it is in the mens section does not mean it was ok to have that to me is very disrespectful description, so no I cant lighten up on this, and I am trying to explain why.

Also some might say this is all my problem and in my head, but to me it showed a very ignorant and outdated attitude towards women and of mensuration as a taboo and gross thing. For a long time, women have been disparaged for having periods, and was a point for men to disregard them, and make fun of them, but it is a natural process and as such, I think that since it is the 21st century, we would think people would understand that now, and be more evolved in attitudes.

 

, yeah, thats what I thought, folks here would probably not get where where I am coming from, sort of typical of this forum.

It is not suspect, I was looking at the different sections on this forum, and I do peek into the mens section, it is no locked off, like i said this is an open forum. So, I just clicked on a thread, and that was the one I found the poll on.

 

LOL, I'm just giving your shit. The "used tampon" thing was out of line, I agree. Considering some of the terribly jacked up things people have said or threatened to do on this forum, oddly enough, the used tampon is actually tame in comparison. But, it still is a messed up thing to say (although I think it was meant as an extreme joke).

 

I'm glad you spoke out. There are guys here that do have more evolved attitudes and I hope you and other ladies that come her associate yourselves with us more. Two of us are speaking to you now.

 

Thank you all, I feel better knowing this, at least I know I was not the odd one yelling from a far off cliff, or just being over sensitive.

I don't intend to cause drama, but I do get strong feelings about some things and the way I express them might come out in an odd or different way.

 

Redheads often have the most gorgeous white skin out of us all, so I am actually surprised so many here doesn't like that.
