Well still, it’s a sexist term. Better to focus on their actions than assault their character. And while I agree that this case sounds ridiculous, if these women/people are concerned about their property being devalued (I’m not saying this situation necessarily creates that outcome) they have a right to speak up and…

What? Being rude doesn’t belong anywhere, or are you saying that people who are into cars are also automatically sexist and uncivil? Hmm..

My original reply was to someone calling them “bitches” and saying they “needed to get laid”. I don’t need to find reasons to be mad, I was trying to keep the conversation civil and to call out sexism - kind of a hot topic lately, Stevie.

Gold! Reminds me of when my family sent thank you letters for thank you letters endlessly...

OMG, do you really think losing both legs is something you would adapt to like losing your hair? Come on!

I didn’t say that, I meant that he has additional challenges.

Way to go, ummagummibear (ps love your name)

Ha! Touche.

A bitch is a derogatory word that refers to females only, and is a stereotype of a woman who nags or complains, rather than someone who has a legitimate argument or cause; just as being a “pussy” is considered an insult, meaning being weak or petulant - and refers exclusively to women. So no, it’s not the best word to…

In order to have civil conversations, it helps to avoid insulting the person, but instead focus on their actions. Calling someone a bitch or a bastard is unproductive and antagonistic. Stating that what they’ve done is something you disagree with or believe is unjust, unethical, immoral, or illegal is the mature way…

Actually, I think being civil, fair, and sensitive is crucial in every interaction. I’m a female who knows a lot about cars and enjoys articles on Jalopnik from time to time. Meanwhile, I’m supporting this guy in question - and many others on here are, too. That’s social justice warrior behavior as well. It’s why this…

Women are routinely insulted in ways men aren’t. The issue is about what they’ve done, not who they are. I bet if they looked like Hooters girls, a lot more people would be on their side.

I didn’t mean his life is less fulfilling - I meant that he has additional challenges. There’s no need to dig for a reason to create more animosity.

Oh, I didn’t mean to insult him or anyone who has challenges, I just meant that when someone has a serious obstacle, we ought to be as supportive as we can - whether it’s an evident, visual, physical difference OR if it’s something less obvious, like PTSD for Veterans.

These people (who happen to be women) may be wrong, but that does not make them bitches, and saying they need to get laid is sexist, obnoxious, and indicative of your misogyny. Please try to be civil.

Not to offend Jocelyn Wildenstein, just plastic surgery.

Yep. It brought up a forgotten memory for me, too, when I was in New Orleans at a Mardi Gras parade in the 90's. Some guy reached up behind me and clamped his hand up between my legs and I could not get him to stop since we were in such a big crowd and it was dark. As soon as I could, I pushed through other people to…

Yep. Trump supporters think he rebuilt the towers.
