MDMAlliance said: I honestly do not understand the OP because the example given is not really a good one. I would need to see other examples in order to be convinced that it is a real problem, otherwise I think that the females that are offended by these kinds of posts are being way too sensitive. Talking about PMS in a way of a pun should really not be offensive, and even if it weren't used as a pun it has no implication by itself. If used as a verb, it starts to get closer to offensive, but really not much more offensive than what many females would say about males if they were to generalize them. So I really need a better example than what was given. Maybe I haven't seen it because most of the places I browse don't actually have these kinds of posts in it. |
Why would you not finding offence invalidate somone who is offended?

Doesn't invalidate but it is hard to show sympathy to someone when you don't understand why they are offended.

That's what empathy is for. Knowing that that a fellow community member feels hurt should hurt us all.

I agree but this community is already divided into at least 3 factions. So I feel for some community members but others that haven't been respectful towards my faction get zero empathy from me. This site divides more than it brings together.
