I've always thought C*nt Punter was a good name for a band.
Dude, how misogynistic is that. Do you really wanna be associated with these words?
Ladies what are your feelings on this name? I understand if you don't want to open a can of worms by responding, but sometimes boys really need to hear from you all on this, or else they keep saying things like the above.

Friendly D is being totally serious; I totally back him up, too. Even though JWW is a totally rad dude, it's always kind of troubling to see misogyny rear its ugly head on the board and we (especially FD) always do our best to nip it in the bud. Even if it's coming from a joking place in the poster's mind, the underlying ugliness is hard to ignore.

JWW, you are so much better than that.
I agree. I know it was in good fun but it really is offensive. By and large this is a really open minded group of people and I don't have my feminist sensibilities offended very often. It is really nice to have a male feminist on the board too, so I don't end up being written off as some overly sensitive girl on the message board. It is worth calling people to task sometimes.

Friendly, you are correct, that is pretty misogynistic. However, as far as band names are concerned, at least to me, its more about the words sound together than what the words mean. Therefore, I change it to...

That's riiight. You guys came to my rescue when I started the Girly Thread. Thanks for that.
Not that I needed rescuing, though. I'm no damsel. Because that would be sexist to assume I couldn't help myself.
I don't have a lot of patience for misogynistic comments either. Ask anyone who knows me--I'll let you know if comments go too far. That said, I gave JWW the benefit of the doubt because he is in fact a rad dude. But I do appreciate the regulation, Friendly and HG

I defer to Friendly. He polices the Lotharios and I police the the imbeciles. I just like to back him up so that people know that's how we do things around here and it's not the case that there's just one really sensitive dude.
