The Medusa Fora

I reckon Frances could be a good match for MacRua.

I thought he and IrishRover were 'an item'. You will make the Rover jealous with that kind of talk.

Hahahaha well, why be COMPLETELY monogamous?

I still consider it an innocent joke, nothing else. And I believe that wit and sarcasm are better weapons to fight unwelcome jokes than calling for political correctness.

I find it low and tasteless. And is it sexist? Yes, surely. But as such it should embarrass the one who posted it – not the target.

True. True. And after all it is a long distance thing..

Sure it is sexist. I'm the first to admit it but I just can't stand all that negativity of Frances ow and I'm not embarrassed by writing it. It was supposed to be a joke but heeeeey

I just can't stand all that negativity of Frances

It was a bald attempt to turn negative thinking into positive. And as always nobody valued it... You tried at least, Mick!

What a harem - shrew and whiner

No offense taken. But the fact that you are trying to turn the decent dating agency into a harem building is more disturbing...

I wasn't calling for P.Correctness,a walking of the plank, etc. I was simply responding to two menses minded posters, who called me to task for flipping a bitch in response to the Medusa Dating Service crack.If I find redundant jokes about MDS sexist, that doesn't mean I expect such things to stop, cease, and desist.But I'll express my displeasure, It's healthy! Not good to keep it all bottled up, I'm told.

Calling Medusian "a bitch" is good for your nerves too?

MDA, I think. Agency. It offers equal services to people of all genders, there is no discrimination going on - so what is sexist about it?

Well, as long as you remain utterly clever, witty, charming and...above all....positive.It'll all even out.

I fancy that I'm rather direct, abrasive even, but exclusively negative I'm not.And certain Pollyanna's do manage to get their swings in - at others expense, from time to time.

Shrew, Harpie, Whatever.

Smile Frances and the world smiles with you.

Flipping a bitch, to me....in the context that I wrote it, means losing your composure, freaking out, going from one point to another - quickly.As in driving, flipping a bitch means an abrupt turn-a-round.
The comment was not directed at another, but referenced my own behavior and reactions, when I actually said "Fuck off with your freaking MDS for fucksake.", I believe
All better?
