Saw this on another forum and totally agree with it...
"The C word is "A tool to demonise women"? but calling somebody any of the insults that describe male genatalia is fine? Behave! I'm female . I believe in equality. Yeah there's still a way to go, and the press can be absolute ...(hmm which insult is acceptable?) but overreacting to things like somebody using the C word to both men AND women doesnt help anything. IMO THATS part of the problem!
I hate the way two people of opposite sexes can't even have an argument/disagreement on BB without somebody labelling the man as a bully/woman hater/aggressor purely because he's male. We'll never have proper equality while people still do that. Out there in the real worId I feel the same... that I'm female, treat me the same as you would if I were a bloke. If you disagree with me feel free to argue with me , if you think I'm acting like a *******t call me a *******t, just like you might say I'm acting like a *******k or a d***k etc. Just because we're female doesn't mean we have to be treated with kid gloves"
