[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it really matter if women are offended by the comment? What matters is that it internalizes the idea to BOYS that girls are less than--they cry easier, they lose easier, they are not as good. [/quote] THIS! Even if you aren't offended by it, or don't think its a big deal, or anywhere on that continuum, there kind of is no denying that this is the intent. There is no such thing as "just an expression", all words convey meaning, this one conveys this meaning. How can it possibly be bad for society to take this out of our lexicon? Can anyone really argue that we are better served by preserving this phrase than eliminating it?[/quote]
