Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 For any real discussion about the Women's Hockey team...try the real Women's Hockey thread. I tried that, and all I got back was that the girls deserve "very little" respect.... Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I tried that, and all I got back was that the girls deserve "very little" respect.... I give 'em some respect and I agree with the comments about standing up for your teammates. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 You crack a "joke" like that in most American workplaces and you risk your job. It's called "workplace sexual harassment" and only the lawyers benefit from it. Before I've said, "Would you say it to the person's face" is a good posting criteria. I'm wondering if, "Just because you can say it, and could say it, should you" wouldn't be better. Quote
siouxforeverbaby Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I don't know what the big deal is....every woman goes through it and everyone knows it, so it's not like he was poking fun at a select group of people with a disability. It was a lighthearted joke. without bringing this back up, this is the exact attitude that I deal with in schools that I am in for my classes. Male students who don't think it a big deal to make comments like this and don't realize that to females it is a big deal. Yes, every woman goes through it, but that is still a classless joke directed at a group of people. We teach our kids about respect for everyone, but I think sometimes that we forget that the same idea applies to us and respecting everyone. Sorry, I just had to give my two cents. Quote

Especially when you're being made of fun of when it IS your time of the month, cuz IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! Quote
HeidiSioux62 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I don't know what the big deal is....every woman goes through it and everyone knows it, so it's not like he was poking fun at a select group of people with a disability. It was a lighthearted joke. I thought it was rude and crude when it was initially written and then to see people defending this attitude really pissed me off. Say that to my face and you'll be lying on the floor checking out the ceiling and it won't have to be "my time of the month" for me to do it either. Quote
Sioux-per Villain Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 What's the big deal? This isn't too dissimilar from what happens at my house every night! Quote
Fedorov Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I enjoyed Girls Just Wanna Have Fun playing in the background. If there is equality for women, shouldn't there be checking in women's hockey? Quote
Big A HG Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I'm sorry for offending people. Some people, like myself, hang out with many girls who laugh about stuff like this and joke around about it and don't care if people mention it or poke a little fun at it. They don't get bent out of shape about it, they just accept it. In my opinion, life would suck if you can't laugh off things like this, because really, everyone knows that it happens, no one thinks is wrong that it happens....it just happens, get over it. Quote

Fetch Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Beings this is the year of the apology - I am sorry for hating on the Goophers ...........on second thought I take it back Quote
Sioux-cia Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I'm convinced, it's true!! You can't fix stupid! *shakes head and walks away* Quote
Big A HG Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I'm convinced, it's true!! You can't fix stupid! *shakes head and walks away* That's the same thing I thought! Great minds think alike I guess. Quote
Goon Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 ++ = This thread A Train Wreck, A mushroom cloud and a cartoon without a face=this thread. LOL... Quote
Goon Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 You're right that did lack some class. As the proud father of a daughter and husband to my wife I can see both sides of the story and can see how this might offend someone. Trust me words have consquences and I have POed the head female of the house hold by saying things that might be percieved as stupid/insensitive or something else. That doesn't make me hyper sensitive, or a bravo male, because I its not going to stop me killing Green Head Mallards or roosters in the fall. If you put it out there people might take it both ways. Personally, I would blame the fight on players getting after it not on their gender. I have seen rough play from both genders. Quote
siouxtatoo42 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 A Train Wreck, A mushroom cloud and a cartoon without a face=this thread. LOL... i started off wanting to explain that it's not a cartoon without a face...it's jimmy and timmy from southpark.. timmy just got a crutch in the face...i wanna explain more behind the joke but it's more fun for those of us that know what diggler was really getting at...

I guess me not watching South Park probably is the reason that I don't get it. Quote
