I shouldn't post this. It's too negative. But I'm FED UP.

I know I often do not say what I should, I am so darned tired of all of this and am fighting other battles right now. That is a crummy excuse but there is only so much time.

I think we do need to be more proactive here as I see people more often using words that are demeaning to women and not being corrected. Once we complain we will be called out on it for a while by those who love their words but then it calms but always comes back again. I do not consider that to be a frivolous complaint as some say it is.

Anyway, this is well written and as honest as can be. Post away. Perhaps now is a good time to bring it up when we see it more often. Our leaders are more likely to agree so maybe we can get things back to where you don't see certain very offensive terms go unhidden. Everytime there is a chance to include your info we should. Drive it ALL in and see if we can get some progress. The ERA would help us so very much. It seems the hardest issue of all. I hate to even think of why it means so little.
