Subject: I guess I don't understand.

Rock bottom is no place to set up camp. Especially in the dark.

A certain female user made a thread about how it was her and her boyfriend's 18 month anniversary, and asked about everyone elses' relationship status. Why is everyone being rude to her for no reason, when we have girl threads and relationship threads all of the time and people aren't nearly as rude as they are with the OP being a girl.

Is there some sort of bias against girls on here? I ain't even white-knighting, just curious, because every time a girl makes a thread some people are like, "Oh hey, a girl. Let's make an ass of myself."

BTW Elites rule!

And I am probably just trolling you right now....especially if it is a controversial thread

I am very perplexed at the moment.

Well, I've been economical with the truth.

A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds...'
I suppose we all thought that one way or another."

Because it's the flood.

Some of you do, though. If a boy made that same thread, some of you would not have been half as rude as you were.

The Universe demands to be noticed, to be seen, and dutifully noted.

What use all those incredible firework dimensions if no eye fixes and reflects, no brain takes notes, no heart moves with passion at the display?

NASA answers the silent cry of the Cosmos for recognition.

NASA is the witness and we fellow witnesses to the endless deeps.

And that's exactly why it's the flood, and not some place else. Because a girl made the thread.

Exactly. Some people fill up their ego by making fun of and being a prick to others. Go figure.

Would have been more rude actually.

Because despite assertions to the contrary, many Floodians who complain about being foreveralone are in reality quite rude and inconsiderate towards women, hence the foreveralone-ness

Dem double standards.
This is typical Jay though. She would make threads about herself and Harlow all the time before she got banned or something.

It kind of depends on what it is, though. I would only say "The Flood is not your personal blog" if the thread had no discussion value whatsoever. If it's the case, I would have said so. But it's not. I think people are butthurt because she's a girl posting about a relationship, so they automatically assume she's an attention whore.

I think if it were a dude that made the thread, every one of us would be all, "Good for you man. :D"

I didn't even comment in the thread OP is talking about. I'm just saying what typically happens in the Flood.

And tomorrow is my one year anniversary with my girlfriend, ironically enough.

I'm pretty sure that the situation is the opposite from what you are stating.

It's how girls are treated on the internet. Not exclusively a Flood thing.

Don't worry, I understand what you were saying.

How're you celebrating that, btw?

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

I remember reading about a blogger who got a bunch of serious death threats because she said something bad about Richard Dawkins one time and realising I have it comparatively easy.
