I have never claimed it is offensive to all women, all of the time. What I have suggested is that, in general, it is not a form of address that ought to be generally accepted, because large numbers of women find it offensive and sexist. Since there's no way to tell in advance whether a stranger you have just met is among those women who find it offensive or among those who love it to bits and think men who do it are adorable, what's the best policy to apply? To use it, or not to use it? You tell me, Alex.
paddoboy thinks that if they don't like it, women just need to suck it up anyway, because it's "normal". How about you?
I don't have the wisdom to make a call without information.
I watched the first few minutes of it, then I skipped through and watched some other random bits of it, to get a feel for the entire thing without having to dedicate an entire hour of my time to it.
This is very much in line with an approach of " I don't need to know more than I have decided to limit myself to...you are like these Christians.. you go to discuss religion with them only to find they haven't read the book or have studied the history leading up to the bible or the many human gods and the roll astrology played...they have a vague belief with nothing but faith..a belief without evidence...mmm that's what you use for Paddo isn't it?
I can't take you seriously if you seek to comment upon something you have not watched...it indicates you did not start with an open mind and clearly you finished the same way.
I think that you'd rather believe that paddoboy was bullied out of this forum,
That is not what I think at all.. I expect he thought about my words that I am leaving to use my time more productively...like play my guitar as I have said. He probably thought similar..he has more in his life than this place.
Although folk will try and bully him I am confident he is not put out..he loves fighting back in my view.. maybe he became frustrated that you sort to hang him without evidence but that is unlikely..I think he probably realised life is too short to waste it here.
However there is no point in speculating as only Paddo knows...and again why don't you just give your mind reading a rest.
I also think that you're looking for reasons why his sexist opinions ought not to be condemned, and that you like the "slippery slope" idea that if we start addressing sexism of the paddoboy kind then the next step will be people up against walls and blanket censorship of all media.
You have a very active imagination.
The video plays on your fears of persecution and tries to make its targets the bugbears of the lie it is spinning.
Mind reading again?
What I think is a valid point in the video and it is undeniable when applied to any human really is that each person creates their our reality..which is really beliefs they form..it seems some have a picture that the " luv" problem is outta control some not so much...different realities....and clearly as each person tries to make their case they start to believe more and more that the picture they see is the correct one..you have this obsession with " lubricate" and sadly it is not the way you imagine it but the more the reality is pointed out the tighter you hold onto your belief that it is the way you see it...
Me as much as possible I try to stand back and take in what is going on that I can support with firm evidence and things outside of that I make no judgement upon.
Now with the video the message I took from it was simply a reminder of the obvious that folk do manufacture their reality..now you can think otherwise that is up to you.
However it seems the factors that are overlooked very quickly in this discussion is..context and malice..both ignored as irrelevant when they really are the first things to consider...I like to keep both context and malice in my reality.
