This is the type of thread that if you don't like, just drain it. Don't make a big drama filled exit, just drain and move along. If you want to advocate for the closure of this thread, do so in a mod feedback thread. Any more advocating for the closing of the thread in the thread itself (and not in a feedback thread or a modzone report) will get you moderated and tossed out of this thread without further warning.

Thanks.

LOL. Good call. Molly's version of her conversation with Robin has no relation to reality. She is just making up a story for whatever reason.

And a female alone is a more tempting target for a mugger or other miscreient. Walking around the French Quarter all the time, I assure you the thugs there don't look for guys or even couples as targets, they look for a single woman walking around.

Saying a female is generally safer with her husband/boyfriend when out and about seems so obvious to me it's usually not worth mentioning. Clearly, though, in this thread if you say you want to protect "your wife" your being sexist...this is one of the weirder threads I've encountered on Pinside in some time.

I'm a well traveled guy... I don't want the US to end up like England where if you are a comedian and say some type of joke that "offends" people (who are looking for reasons to be offended) you literally risk a fine and potential arrest. Seems many here wish we were there already...

The people who I've seen use the phrase SJW in this thread are not the ones calling people intolerant assholes or shitbags.

I do not recall the comedians name. This was in 2009 or thereabouts as I recall. Check out the Green Book published by the BBC some time back with their criteria for BBC though.

Okay, so you are saying a single female is safer and less likely to have a miscreient bother her while walking around in the French Quarter solo than with her husband/boyfriend?

I understand your point, your just wrong and your unfair characterization of Iceman was likewise wrong.

Agreed. I hosted a project pinball event just a few weeks ago. We proudly had five female participants (and had about as many more as guests that did not play in the tourney). If any of them expressed any of the events Fantasy Goat described the offending male would have been immediately kicked out of the house and shamed throughout or small community.

I've never seen any of the conduct Fantast Goat describes and PavBall and I host substantial parties with our machines probably half a dozen times a year.

Fair enough. I was addressing Fantasy Goat's more egregious allegations of unwanted physical contact, but sure...I can accept that some males are condescending when explaining game rules to females they don't know.

You would be a welcomed guest any time. Open invitation.

Absolutely.

Yes, the OP is a female. Confirmed.

In "Western society"? What does that mean exactly? Things are better for females in the Middle East, Africa, or Japan and we are just behind the times in the US? I'm really curious what your point is here as I don't get it.

I was called a shitbag earlier in this thread by a lady I've never met for no good reason. No one likes being called any name that is meant to be derogatory, ever. An insult is an insult, all of them suck. Best to just move past them though and not hold grudges wherever possible.

Gang, we are going to assume pez did not see Xerico's post till after he posted his final response. Do not respond further. Everyone has had their say already.

Take this thread back on topic. Thanks.
