Vintage can you help me understand why you think this tweet was empowering? I keep trying to see it but I seem to be missing something. All I am seeing is Bee using vulgarity to insult another woman and Field also insulting the same woman minus the vulgarity. In my mind, misogyny and sexism is misogyny and sexism regardless of which gender happens to be expressing it. So, how is insulting a woman empowering?

Thank you. Makes me sad to think some people think there is something empowering about women deliberately choosing to demean, disparage, and insult other women with or without vulgarity attached. To hear it makes them smile makes me even sadder. Kind of like saying if someone uses the n word in such a way to demean, disparage, and insult a black person, it's really ok cuz its really empowering for them....they just dont know it. Learn something new everyday.

Kobi- Your post was reported for badgering and for being passive-aggressive AF. You've been modded for this type of shit multiple times and I'm over it. If you don't like what someone says you have options: report it, engage without taking personal swipes, or keep your mouth shut. Anything outside of those options is not acceptable. Also? For someone who is such a die-hard Feminist and so "woman positive", you might want to examine the way you talk to other women on this site. The head-patting is tedious and talking to other (clearly smart, articulate, educated) women as if they are beneath you is bullshit. Move along. Angie

With all due respect Angie, your prior wrist slaps have said if you dont understand what someone is saying, ask them. That's what I did. I did not understand why this was empowering to women and I was asking for an explanation. I also included why I was having difficulty understanding. My apologies to VK and this site for simply trying to understand something that didnt make sense to me. Moving on.

Let me illustrate for you the part that needs to stop happening: "To hear it makes them smile makes me even sadder." It's fine to ask for clarification but asking for clarification generally stops at : "Hey, can you help me understand this?" It doesn't elongate the conversation with value judgments on the other person or little quips like "learn something new every day" that appear to be designed to head-pat or outright dismiss the other person's position. Thanks. Now, to move this conversation along from the derail: What made me smile today? Getting home early from work today and starting to work down my enormous list of "to do" tasks AND having the motivation to do it! WOOT!

It was not really a smile, it was more like a smirky chuckle followed by "Did I just see what I thought I saw?"

Tuesday night I checked into a beautiful historic hotel in Galveston, Texas and presto changeo they gave me a huge suite. I had two entrance doors, a huge living room, dinning room, bar, fridge, ice machine, two bathrooms, and a large bedroom. All at no charge to me! Yay!

I just spent most of the evening with Mel C.'s doppelganger! If it wasn't for the fact that she was about a foot shorter (at a guess) and dee-less, I would have thought it was her! Strange! But kinda cool.
And yes, she was very, very butch and very, very gay. Makes ya wonder, eh? 🤔

Having dinner with my sister while she was in town for a conference. We don't often get to see each other, so this was a special treat!
