oldguy Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 HELLO from my mother's basement! I just got in from a classic car show, and after checking my porn sites, I read this thread. Just KIDDING! I think some of you ladies may be a little over the top. Well, maybe not over the top, but you seem to be accusing all men of having a double standard. True, some do, but here's my take. The worst, nastiest, creepiest whore EVER on BB is Mike Boogie! I cannot stand that man! As for Erika, she may be a little "loose", but she's looking for love in the wrong place. She's more to be pitied than censured. I really believe she thinks she loves Boogie. For that reason I feel sorry for her, but certainly don't condemn her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisu power Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I don't think that the idea is that men have a double standard so much as that in general society does - including women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfgranny Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 The double standard exists, but it isn't nearly as strong as it used to be. People on this board are as disgusted with Booger and Will as they were with Allison in season four. What I can't stand is how Booger is so damned proud of exploiting Erika. His bragging in the DR on last night's show about how he wants to make Erika think he wants to have a baby with her because her biological clock is ticking and that anything is fair game to win made me sick. He knows full well this is a vulnerable girl who is hurting after the end of a very serious long term relationship which is why he talked her into going into the damn house! Talk about a weak player - he has to recruit the competitors he plans to defeat? He's a fucking no-class lowlife loser and I hope he gets nothing!

Mendes56 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Interesting thread. We can all agree there is a double standard, but what can we do about it? I suggest we all refrain from making such judgments about the people we encounter in life and those we see on reality shows. We cannot control the world but we can control ourselves. Neither Janie nor Erica were my favs this year, but it is uncomfortable to see the names they (and Dani ... bitch this, bitch that, two-faced, etc) have been called by other HG and/or posters. I challenge everyone who decries the double standard to think before putting more sexist remarks out into the cosmos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfgranny Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 There have been equally defaming remarks about the men -jackass, middle school adolescent, etc. Society hasn't yet come up with a derogatory male equivalent to bitch. In the dog world, mother=bitch and father=stud. While Booger and Howie fancy themselves to be studs, no one here has called them that, even their fans. I'm open - is there a gender-specific putdown for men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowpoke Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Surfgranny.... gender specific for males ?? One comes to mind and it happens to be part of his anatomy And Boogie is the biggest one I've seen in many a day hmm... I wonder if the female customers will be smaller in number when he gets back to his club ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 i am still waiting for the male version of the word C*nt. i refrain from saying that word. i find it is the worse word you can call a woman and i think maybe once a year i might "think" about using it... and even then all i can say is "she is such a C word" i cant even say the word.. i should practice though... in private. soooo for me, nothing comes close to that word that you can call a man.. i find that very very wrong. i guess i will have to accept it and work around it. how bout "Boogie is a male C*nt" ?????? i hate that word. its the worse word a person can say. they say it a lot on Deadwood... another show i have to watch in private cause i get too embarrassed to watch it otherwise.

chichi Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 There is a male C word...Will that work for you? Give it a try, see if you like it. If not, I'm sure we can come up with something equally degrading. I think plenty of us women scream sexism...and I do believe it exists, but perpetuate it in some forms.....Because it can work to our advantage.

surfgranny Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I completely forgot about the D word. If no one has been calling Booger a dickhead , etc. then Mendes is right - Neither Janie nor Erica were my favs this year, but it is uncomfortable to see the names they (and Dani ... bitch this, bitch that, two-faced, etc) have been called by other HG and/or posters.

oldguy Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Men sometimes refer to other men as "bitches". I sometimes hear the term "he's my bitch". . . the meaning being he does what I tell him". So I guess Boogie is Will's bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rook9566 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I think I have more respect for Alison's gameplay than Mike Boogie's gameplay. Alison used what she had to get far in the game, but in the end she's the one that loses her reputation. Mike does the same thing, but in the end it will be Erika that gets hurt. Yes, there is a double standard, but men should be men and have some respect for a woman's feelings. Mike boogie is not a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 i dont type it either. i find that is the most disturbing disgusting word ever to hit mankind. and seeing someone else type it or say it just makes my skin crawl. that is why i think there should be a male version of the word.

squirrel Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 It's definately the worst. I learned the hard way to never say that word, many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRebel Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 In second grade, a kid at school got suspended cuz he called some girl a edit. I didn't know what it meant at the time but isn't it great how we learn things? I don't get the big deal about not typing it out. Words can't hurt anybody.

fizzle Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 thats nice that you think that way... but remember, not everyone thinks that way. words do hurt people and words should always be thought out before spoken. marriages have ended over the C word.. sisters have never spoken again over the C word.

fizzle Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 a lot of people care... unfortunatly there are others that think otherwise and those people usually find out the hard way that they just cant throw certain words around like no big deal.

ranjake Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 the c word totally disgusts me as well. anyone who calls a woman that is a base human being. what is really disturbing is to hear teenage girls calling eachother that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
