Yup. Political correctness at it's best. If someone calls you a woman's name,
the next time you see them rearrange their face a bit and then they have to
live with the fact that they the crap kicked out of them by a girl.
It is a one way street. Some people can say anything they like and when you
respond rather than having them respond in a normal manner they open up their
"can o' labels".

Let me clear something up... I'm not saying his comment is a cheap
shot because he called me a woman's name. The reason its a cheap
shot is because its an insult in which he is trying to get me to
insult him back, to make me look like a fool.
And I'm not going to get into this argument, but what's the problem
if I am offended with being called a woman's name? Am I not allowed
to have pride in myself and be proud of who I am because I am a
straight male? Does having self pride, just like women and
homosexuals do in themselves, make me sexist or homophobic?? ?
