Maunus, I'd like to ask you please what statements of Egg Centric you were referring to, when you wrote this:
"Assuming that someone who has a hysterical attack has pms is quite clearly sexist. So fuck you egghead."?
Thanks.
That would be this one: "(S)he is obviously committing suicide by mod. A preventative 24 hour block so (s)he can sober up/take pills/
get over hormones or whatever should cool things down"
Which is of course sexist in that it implies that PMS causes the kind of obnoxious behavior that I was displaying. He went on to say even worse stupidities and so did Hans Adler. When I wrote a hysterical attack i was of course drawing on the Greek etymology and the history of Victorian treatments of "hysteria" - which were of course also sexist.
I'd have been annoyed, too, had I see that. So yeah - well said (IMG:

"Sexist much? Jesus fucking Christ. To think I actually thought this anti-woman thing was a myth. Kafka Liz (talk) 17:51, 12 December 2011 (UTC)"
