Why is the DU tombstone sexist? Can't women troll as easily as men??!!


Come on, we're a progressive website and yet we delegate trolling to a male trend only? By god if we can have a female president in 2008 then I think it's about damn time we have a tombstone that represents BOTH sexes!

3. Yep, it could just as easily say "They disrupted poorly."
Couldn't it? We should make virtual picket signs. :evilgrin:

8. That's wrong. "They" would work only if the tombstone was for multiple disruptors.
Edited on Thu Dec-13-07 08:38 PM by Gormy Cuss
They isn't a singular genderless pronoun. However, it could read "It disrupted poorly" since trolls aren't human.:evilgrin:

6. We should set up a committee to look into this and then make recommendations
for solving the disparity based on what they discover. The committee should be convened for no less then ten months and no longer than 36 six months.

The committee should be given all the funding and resources it may deem necessary throughout the course of it's investigation and to this end the DU administration should set aside not less than ten million dollars to begin the process.

At the end of the committees investigation the DU administration shall have an additional 36 months to review the findings and recommendations of the committee before said findings and recommendations shall be made public.

It is important to point out that any recommendations made by the committee are ONLY recommendations and should not be considered in any way binding (or chaffing).

Thank you,

How would you prefer your undoing? Drawn & quartered? Burned at the stake? Hung upside-down on curtain rods by your ankles and beaten with oaken riot batons? Shall your burial be a surprise? What do you want your epitaph to be? *lol*

29. The only gender-neutral pronoun that would work would be "it."
Maybe "they."

30. I always thought that the reason it didn't read, "S/he disrupted...poorly"
Edited on Fri Dec-14-07 03:12 AM by BlueIris
is because there isn't enough room on the graphic, for whatever reason, for the 'S.'

34. it should be balanced
I did see a user named Antonia was banned after posting answers to a guy disrupting initially. She had unique and great information never before made available, but she was tombstoned. This was on the 9/11 forum WR thread.
