For clarity's sake, there is no difference. With that particular quotation, I was poking fun at JRPGfan's nonsensical response in the "Most Badass Women/Girls in Gaming" because he couldn't bring himself to contribute thereto in good faith or allow International Women's Day to pass without a contrived swipe at the feminist movement, or at whatever it is he thinks it stands for anyway.

I role-reversed his comments, along with those of some other contributors (and the original premise of the thread) that I felt struck an especially hammy or flawed chord at times to highlight the fact that nobody talks this way about boys or men, or male fiction characters either.

My goal in starting this thread was to make the point that, in a more egalitarian world, these types of special days and commemorations because wouldn't be necessary in the first place because we as a society and world would appreciate and acknowledge the contributions of women thereto as much and as often as those of men. But we're not there yet. That was really all. ...Well that and to have a little fun in the process at other people's expense.

I see... Be careful though, there is always the danger people will misunderstand you or misinterpret you and perceive it as an attack.

Even now he/she continues with it.
Even admitting theres malicious intent behinde it.

Why is it okay for people to make threads, pokeing fun at people? isnt that just allowing bullying?

You piled on the "fun" earlier... and now its "people will misunderstand you".
(the problem is obviously me right? and not the one that made a thread with malicous intent? ei. lets not blame the bully).

Your downplaying it, because you agree with Jaicee.

Jaicee doesnt even even believe I've read the full OP.... suggesting I re-read it.
Yet how many others clearly didnt either, or choose to make joke male "badass" references instead, and I'm the only one she called out for "to re-read it"?

Yes Jaicee, I read the entire OP before posting in this thread.
I havnt made any comments, that would suggest otherwise have I? so why even bring that up?
