Hard News: Narcissists and bullies, in reply to Gary Henderson,
I absolutely use the term "slut-shaming" to bring home to people who indulge in same exactly what it is they're doing.

Your Facebook feed is not any kind of guide.

It's easy to say that on the Internet. A lot harder to do it in real life.

Up Front: The Missing Stair and the…, in reply to Megan Wegan,
Well of course it is. You need to lighten up. Can't you take a joke? Are you one of them humourless feminists? Etc etc BARF.

Up Front: The Missing Stair and the…, in reply to Moz,
A former friend used to start a "discussion/debate/argument" with me, get me good and wound up and then say "I don't know why you're so upset, I was only playing Devil's advocate."
I'm all for a nice game of Devil's advocate as long as it's advertised as such beforehand.

Up Front: The Missing Stair and the…, in reply to Marcus Turner,
If you told me I made you angry or upset every time I said a certain thing, why would I continue to say/do it?
Because I'm just telling it like it is and you need to harden the fuck up. Politically correct blah blah blah in the old days blahdy blah...

Hard News: Who else forgot to get married?, in reply to Megan Wegan,
That's interesting, because Ms came in so that women who didn't think their marital status was anybody else's business would have a marital-status-neutral title they could use.
I like the way the Germans do things in that respect -- Fraulein ("Miss") is used until the girl leaves school, at which point she becomes Frau (technically "Mrs,"), whether she's married or not.
I prefer no title at all, myself, but if forced to pick one will generally go for the silliest or least likely one on the list.

If you don't want to then don't, it's okay. It was a suggestion, not an order.
