ColoQ Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 So what I'm hearing is the Men-only thread is the "Jerky-hetero-bro-type safe space" thread? *shrug* I'm just glad that the NF Community has tolerance for both of us. 1 Quote ColoQ || Level: 0 Techno Troll || Assassin ========================= Current Challenge: 0 - V.2 Previous Challenges: , -------------------------------------------------- STR 0 || DEX 0 || STA 0 CON 0 || WIS 0 || CHA 0 -------------------------------------------------- Link to comment

Hit Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Jerky-hetero-bro-type safe spaceI don't want to comment on the ongoing nature of the mens thread, mostly because im not a man and that thing is like 10000* pages long. It's just disappointing to come back to NF and click through topics and see stuff like that. *may be hyperbole Quote It's the moose on the inside that counts. Link to comment

Frost of the Gloaming Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I don't think it's bad it is what it is; and considering it's contained to one thread I dont' think there should be any complaints about it.

Hit Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Then isnt it even more pertinent to be calling this stuff out? It seems like even in these designated threads ive seen dudes come in and try derail or diminish the issue (see the yesallwomen thread). Quote It's the moose on the inside that counts.

Bekah Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I dunno, I mean I definitely see your reasoning, but if we have a safe space, then keeping it safe should be #1 and if thats happening, isn't it wrong to not allow others to express their opinions even if we disagree, then just choose not to associate with them? Not letting them feel free to express their bigotry is just as bad as us being discriminated against, so for us to limit their freedoms for the sake of our own comfort is just as bad, in my opinion. I just choose to dissociate myself with people who feel that way, and show them that not every LGBTQA person fits their perceptions by my words and actions, so that they will walk away saying "I know she didnt agree with me and I dont approve of her lifestyle, but she is still a good/funny/kind etc. person" and then next time they think some disparaging thought against someones lifestyle, they might remember me and realize its wrong...whereas just calling people out and attacking them and telling them they are wrong, just makes us look mean and denfensive and like we are in the wrong. The black Panthers took that route during the Civil Rights Era in the US and Dr. King took the opposite approach, and look who got results? I understand that motivation, and it would make me feel better temporarily to do that, but it wont change minds or hearts, and thats what we need to change the way we are treated. 6 Quote Druid Assassin Halfling Druid Level 16, Current Quest: Bekah Returns Spoiler Fitbit Facebook Your life does not get better by chance.

SevenofSeven Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I just think that in forums as this, there are provided threads for everyone. I am not a man so why would I go I to the men only thread and start chastising those having an opinion in their own safe place? We all had an uncomfortable experience not that many pages ago with someone who probably didn't belong here, he eventually got the idea that this thread was not open to debate, same can be said for the #yesallwomen thread, the interloper got the idea! Does that mean we do the same to them? If we want to open a debate let's start a new thread just for that purpose, so we may keep this place just for our own, our safe place, non negotiable.I cannot change anyone's mind, just as they cannot change mine, so I stay out of their thread. Yet I do agree with Bekah and ColoQ. Both with very good points. Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
