I didn’t think I’d have to make it clear what portion of a post I disagree with.[i]

“Of course it doesn’t come close to the N word. But calling a woman a K is a a way of silencing a middle-aged woman. It’s misogyny, pure and simple.“[/i]

The first sentence of that first post is common sense so I’m not referring to that. It’s the second sentence in the first post that I’m referring to. I simply disagree. It’s just a name, it’s not sexist, or misogyny, it’s a common female name. Just like Becky was used in the same way a few years back.

Besides, the original tweet in this thread is a joke anyway, it’s just a silly meme made from a obvious fake twitter account.

That’s it. It’s not a big deal. [/quote]

There are several names that are used in a racist manner. [b]Think of "Sambo", "Aunt Jemima", "Guido", or "Hymie". [/b]

For what it is worth, the racial aspect of the "K-word" is not my main objection. It was just the constant over use of it in a derogatory manner. It was just old and boring and reflected poorly on the poster using it. I also blocked "Ok, b**mer" and it doesn't have racial connotations to my knowledge. It was just over used to the extent I was ready to poke my eyes out if I saw it again. These are used by people who lack imagination for a substantive response.

Hold up, these are common names given to people at birth? You actually know someone with these names?[/quote]
