No need to feel sorry for me Griff, I’m not that type at all, nor some timid little ‘frightened of everything’ wallflower. I too despair at the ‘poor me’ way the human world is going.
And how humans are currently treating the world makes me sick to my stomach. Of course, it’s much more important than the trivialities spouted on here.
But I think how someone looks and dresses is the least important thing about them, and, on a forum that seems to be peopled (mostly) with decent people, it seemed inappropriate, to me, to be acting like schoolboys, perving over how women look and are dressed and comparing them. Which is how it came across to me. Just because it’s not a world war doesn’t make it ok.
People also criticise men on tv, but they haven’t put up with the abuse women have, forever. But neither is alright.
And yes, a couple of the responses were of the ‘calm down dear’ type.
I’m not easily offended, far from it, spend most of my time in male company. But I don’t post often and did because schoolboy banter doesn’t need to be on a shared forum. Could have been worse, I know, if there’d just been men here, or it was less public maybe. Trust me, I’ve heard plenty. I still think it should be called out. Someone ‘just having fun’ does not make it ok.
And now I’m done.
