I agree with you guys.Hawkstorian":prh4osiu said:LastRideOut":prh4osiu said:Thank you for not using sexist names to belittle Rodgers. I know Rodgers can be a bit of a cry baby sometimes but calling him Erin gets old, and it is sexist too. I have two daughters and a wife, so the sexist names get into my craw.
Thanks for that. I've called this out a few times, and gotten nothing but blithering crap in return, with no support from anyone.

Also, I assume you don't denigrate anything at all in your life, correct? Otherwise that would make you a hypocrite. Can't call someone stupid because I know some actually stupid people.

You can trash talk without being a sexist. Give it a shot. Or just keep being lazy. Your call.
Since it's basically guaranteed that you are not, in fact, a perfect Jesus Christ risen again who says nothing negative about any quantifiable group that exists in this world, I get that you made sexism your "denigration of choice" to rail against people about; but how about coming to terms with reality a bit more and trying out not being easily offended? Give it a shot. Or just keep being lazy. Your call.
Yep, sue their asses!chris98251":1ommwph8 said:So I should call everyone that calls me Chrissie, Christy, Chrissy sexist.

But by using sexist language, you are showing that you are in fact, sexist. I mean, come on, at least be honest with yourself.
It really isn't that hard to not be an asshole. You can criticize Aaron's play (and there is plenty to criticize) without marginalizing an entire gender by using sexist labels. When you use Erin to refer to Aaron Rodgers, or Cowgirls to refer to the Cowboys, the underlying message is that females are weak and the negative connotation to that message is made by using Erin or Cowgirls as pejoratives.
It's so much easier to double down, and to keep using sexist labels like you are now, than it is to listen to the perspectives of others and to change one's opinion or behavior based on new information, which is the hallmark of an educated mind.
I used to refer to Tony Romo as "Romo the Homo". When I learned how hurtful and hateful that was towards people in the LGBT+ community, I stopped because I realized I was patronizing and marginalizing an entire group of people just to criticize one person.
It is also important to recognize that just because one poster here said that his sister in law also refers to A-rod as Erin does not mean that one person represents an entire gender and therefore, grants permission to use a sexist label.
Too late. The pussification of this country is well under way.dopeboy206":midlq5dy said:Do we all agree it’s Erin and not Aaron Rodgers. Anyone ass hurt about it is just too sensitive. It’s sports smack get over it.
