The fact you are on the internet, in a MEDC, implies you are better off than the majority of the population of this planet. If you want to make this thread into a "woe is me, us women are so hard done by" thread, you lost the moment you were born white into a family with access to clean water.

Now, now, just because it could be worse doesn't mean it couldn't be better.

If only the people on the bottom rung were allowed to move up the ladder, then it would take ages for anyone to reach the top. You'd just end up with some sort of ridiculous leapfrog situation.


Of course. I'm not against improvement, but I am against not being pro-active and just moaning about a situation which, in comparison to others, is barely even an issue.

I hate playing with girls because when I lose it hurts my pride.

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

I went to bed, then I woke up. I went through my most recent posts to find the topics I posted in before bed, and replied to them.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

Because most of them are attention whores.

Once my threads hit page two I let them die, but it's her thread and she can respond to it whenever she wants.

Reinforces some people's claims that she is craving attention.

Can we let this go, seriously? It's the Internet, this isn't anything new.

This thread's still around?

Can we start talking in Old English to spice things up a little?

I believe I said in the OP that I like attention.

But so do plenty of guys. If you judged everyone who liked attention by the same scale, there wouldn't be a problem.

Why are you under the impression that male attention whores aren't just as annoying?

Male attention whores don't get the kind of harassment the females do, for starters.

I really don't want to name names because I don't want to target users and get myself banned, but there were girls before me who liked attention who were harassed to ridiculous levels because people felt like they had the right to, since those girls had so obviously brought it upon themselves. Doesn't happen to male members, not nearly to that extent. It happens because people see female identities as something the community owns and can do with what it will, seeing as they're a rare novelty assigned intrinsic value by the community.

The reason why they were harassed by gender is because they advertised themselves as girls.

Male attention whores are not harassed with their genders because they do not advertise themselves as such.

So being a girl makes you fair game for harassment?

No, you didn't understand.

The girl attention whores advertised themselves as girls and liked to tell everyone that they were. It's fair game because they advertised themselves as such. Women attention whores know very well what kind of attention being a girl will get them on here, it's an opportunity they take advantage of.

Because being a male on these forums is nothing special it's not something you can attention whore about, so male attention whores aren't going to be harassed in a sexist manner.

But males who brag about their physique and how much -blam!- they get per week get harassed in a very similar fashion. It's about people who want to tell the world that they're different. The world answers back with "we don't care" and the attention whores get all defensive and/or offended.

So if I tell people I'm a girl, I deserve to be trashed for being a girl?

Okay!

When you seek attention so much you are in fact going to get it, both good and bad. You seem to only want good attention and compliments and people agreeing with you, but when someone insults you or disagrees you cry foul and consider them sexist, or racist, or whatever.

Sorry, but the Internet isn't here to please you. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Now death threats and the like are obviously going too far, but you wouldn't get those either if you were just average and didn't make everything about you.
