We used to call you all a pack of old bitties... but you said that was offensive.

Gangs and swarms
How is it that when multiple women agree on something we are called a "gang" or a "swarm"? The use of those terms suggest to me that some members see something illegitimate about women expressing their views. Is there a certain number at which we are allowed to agree before we become a swarm? Are only one, two, or three women allowed to participate in a thread? Why is it that some so often use language that deems women's speech illegitimate?
Perhaps, just perhaps, people ought to think about what they mean to communicate with the words they choose? Unless of course you believe women and their speech less worthy than men's.
I do like Vagina Brigade. Klu(less) Klux Klams is good too.
For God's sake, Frank. **** her and be done with it.

2. On DU Swarms are exclusively comprised of women, and I have seen the term used for as few as two Posters.
She surely has her panties in a bunch. Or a twist.

3. Some men just can't handle a woman telling them they're wrong about something
and such men have usually been caught mansplaining right out in the open.
Knowing full well that one woman will always be dismissed, more women read the thread and tell him "Sorry, Slick, but you'd better rethink this because you are dead wrong."
So Slick and his buddies complain about all the women ganging up on poor Slick, who is still utterly clueless about what he said that was wrong because he just aint the kinda guy who's gonna listen to a buncha wimmen.
And yes, the left is full of these guys, solid Democratic voters who don't think half the human race has anything to tell them.

15. stop with the false equivalencies. White men are not persecuted. Challenging a man on demeaning women is not sexist. Plenty of men manage to speak to Women without being insulting.
Just like blacks can't be rascists.

24. really? Because you never responded to my second comment to you in that thread. I would have thought if you would have had an argument on the merits, you would have made it.
wait... what was your second comment? Oh- about swarms only being women. WHat is there to comment on. Can I say, "You are being paranoid" with out being banned on DU?

37. I too asked for a response...
their response to the Op's LOL about WCGreen.
And you know what Bains... in all our anger, we never really addressed the Steubenville comment. The rapes...that was another that the OP finds boring. Meh~ don't bother me.
That pisses me way the hell off.

27. The thing is a woman gave birth to them. I wish they would at least respect women for that reason alone
Stop acting like a ****ing harpy and maybe they will.

7. isn't it?
Did you see I got a hide in that thread? The alerter blamed me for the whole rest of the thread.
Frank! Did you play hide the message with the big titted one?
BainsBane (26,710 posts)
11. one juror even went on
About comments others had made, stuff I didn't even know about, as justification for my hide.
If someone thought they were getting me back for other alerts in that thread, they were wrong because I didn't alert on anything in there.
:lmao: That was me!

9. Precisely
I also might add--in completely general terms and about no one in particular--that if someone regularly takes positions that exclude or diminish the majority of the population, it should not come as a surprise that members of that majority take exception.
Pot. Kettle.

33. And you had the vast majority of DU's male members with you
We may not always jump in. Partly because women can speak more authoritatively to the issue from their experience, and partly because, I think, of a fear of being perceived as someone trying to be a 'white knight.'
In any case, what's important is that ignorant statements get pushback and those discussions may be enlightening for some.
If we were to need a 'gang' I'd be happy to sign up to receive the batsignal.
DU's male members... :rotf:

46. Oh no, one rogue host locked that thread with absolutly no consensus but based on
a request from quinnox himself.
Hosts are objecting to the host locking that. A member who doesn't want their post responded to any longer has an option. That option is to self delete. It's been the rule in GD hosting since forever that we don't lock OP's that aren't violating the SOP.
Bitchy McBitch-Bitch is very bitchy today.

49. I'm in there fighting my ass off being with no response from the one who locked it
with no consensus after it was voted upon to leave.
And after they stated that they would unlock if there were objections. Well, there are objections and now we will have another shit storm in the hosts forum.
:rotf:

Mansplaining = Feminazi term for a male using facts and logic to counter their emotional claims.

I think calling them a "swarm" is very accurate, because that's exactly how they behave.
Swarm behaviour, or swarming, is a collective behaviour exhibited by animals of similar size which aggregate together, perhaps milling about the same spot or perhaps moving en masse or migrating in some direction.

Well of course the Klams are a shrieking, obnoxious swarm, but I thought in DUmmyspeak a "swarm" could only be applied to those DUmmies who take offense at the crazy bald dwarf's condescending, illiterate arrogance.

Rants like this are why no pays much heed to the Rag Queens.
How much more like hysterical shrieking female stereotypes can they be?

I guess the phrase as "happy as a clam" doesn't apply here,
Then again I've never know the primitives to be a happy bunch to begin with,

Yeah and plenty of men would like to punch you so hard, you'd be a new species.
Frank, do something about his. Here's a video if you need some pointers:

I have always called it a hen party or gaggle

Maybe it's just that they all wish they could GET a man that drives their hatred...? Fix yourselves up, take a bath, lose some weight, and get some decent clothes, DUladies. I belive in you.

Crazy people who know they're crazy love having a foil to blame all their problems on. It gives them an excuse to do nothing about those issues.
In short, bitches be crazy.

Yep.
That's her problem, just as it's the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive's problem.
Misdirecting their anger away from the real cause, hating instead on all these poor guys who had nothing at all to do with their problem.
