Calling names is grade school. If no one used either word there wouldn't be any question as to whether someone would be offended and to what degree.
Let me play the devil's advocate here, when a woman calls a man a dick is it as offensive as a man calling a woman a cunt? Just asking.
And in what situation is it acceptable to call you the N word? (I don't bother with neg rep. I'll just call you out in public.)
I will continue to say what I want. Those who matter don't mind don't mind and those who mind don't matter.
And in what situation is it acceptable to call you the N word? (I don't bother with neg rep. I'll just call you out in public.)
There isn't one. Even if Chris Rock says there is.
But it's perfectly acceptable to use the C word? You think my comment is uncalled for, Luv. I think the comment that started this whole discussion was uncalled for. The day it's ok for me to call you the N word, it will be ok for you to call me the C word. But not until then.
We can't make racial slurs on here but it's ok to make gender slurs. Alrighty then.
Aaaaaand action ! The thank you thread is turning into a slugfest
I know where luvsattractivewomen is coming from and I agree. Combating sexism with racism is equally bad practice to combating racism with sexism. Actually, responding to blanket racism or sexism in kind is generally a bad idea. It's better to take the higher ground and respond directly to the person who issued the initial insult, but it's best to take the highest just report it and avoid the situation altogether. Doesn't make much sense to feed the flames.
I agree with you ches, neither racial nor gender slurs should be welcome here.

I would like to thank Jaisee for attempting to explain what I was trying to explain, therefore explaining my explanation to she who needed the explanation while taking the time to understand my explanation.
If you want to use racial slurs then that is your business. If you want to get angry with one man and use a racial slur to exact revenge for what the person has done to you that is also your business. The thing is, as I have expressed before, sometimes it is OK to fight fire with fire, but you must keep in mind that the Fire Department uses water. I have met many racists in my time who utilize a racial slur when a ______ (Insert minority) wrongs them. It isn't the race who did it to you, it is the person. If you are upset that he used a hurtful word, I can understand. But, flipping a racial slur is just plain bad form and ...well... racist.
Show me where I used a racial slur, Luv. SHOW ME!! I asked when it's acceptable, since gender slurs apparently are. That was a sarcastic question. Don't put words in my mouth. Ever.
I said mentioning a racial slur. I am just going to unfriend you and ignore you. I really don't condone that kind of behavior and as I said, I would have at least understood if he mentioned a racial slur with the C word. Good Day ma'am.
