I'd like to discuss why my thread was locked
but since it apparently was so heinous it also got deleted. Given all the things that are posted on here about peoples faith and how quickly one can be deemed sexist or racist, I thought saying i said was well within what is allowed.
If this the standard then why don't reprimand the person who called me an asshole. I'm not offended by that person but am offended by the inconsistent manner in which you uphold your rules.

the message that the mod left when locking said it was sexist. I disagree and would like to discuss.

4. no - i wasnt calling anybody anything
I was saying how silly words can distract us from what really matters. I did not direct those words at anyone.
Look I guess I broke a rule by using a term that is mean - but I did not say that to anyone. I've seen time and time again where of is allowed that people directly call people nasty words. In that thread some called my an ashore, without knowing me - they just saw phrase the didn't like and jumped to a concession about who I am and what I meant. I see thousands of threads where people are blasted for believing in God, this so much worse than repeating a phrase that says people are vaginas.
You don't have to pit my threE back up just be fair. And stop trying to little me with your "nice try" responses. I am just trying to make a point of how easily people get offended and then respond way to big for the "offense".

5. You asked why your post was sexist.
The answer is that using the the term "pussy" as an insult is sexist.

That's the issue. All the other stuff you're trying to inject into this discussion is irrelevant.

6. exactly! get hung up on a word not directed at anyone and the rest
Of the post is irrelevant. By this argument the movie Schindler's List is anti-semitic. By this time I'm sure its easier to dismiss me as a sexist ashore than to try to see how I could possibly be right.
I won't try to make a risky statement again, but do not label me as things I am not.
