Change "female" to "any". I understand what you were trying to do and the thought is nice, but it's also in itself objectifying to a certain degree. You shouldn't treat anyone poorly in a social world, but alas people do and will in the future. It's best to live by your own code and hope people follow suit. I know that many females on B.net only use a mic when they are playing with other respectable Floodians or people they know. It's pathetic to see that they are harassed by some individuals. Unfortunately most people on this site are actually better online than they may lead on. It's the people not on this site who are the biggest issue. Scratch that, Bobcast is the strongest 'force' online. Don't mess with him. I've heard...[i]things[/i] about him.

  • Not really. Im just saying to be mindful of what you say when playing with a chick. Like you wouldn't crack a sex joke in a lobby with a chick in it.

  • If that is the case why do you say "Chick" just saying would it be nice to say female or lady

    Calling them a chick is not being nice it is treating them like a piece of meat that is my point you can be nice with out being a white night! But then again I was raised to say yes ma'am and no ma'am! If I didn't I would have my father or three older brother knocking me to the floor!

  • But it's not harassing them. I don't want people to harass girls.

    That's blatant, discriminatory sexism and you don't even realise it. You should treat people according to who they are, not what sex they are. Some females like naughty joke while others don't, just like males. I dislike crude humour, I fail to see why it's funny. I also dislike all the things that you mentioned above in the "Don't" section. Does that make me female?

  • Ok so what you are saying is that If im at my job and tell a random female about my first time with a chick or some dirty joke then I shouldn't get fired because i'm just treating everyone fairly............you have to understand that you can't just treat random girls like they are your best friend. If some random guys in my game crack a sex joke I might find it funny. If my male co-worked crack a sex joke then I might find it funny, but if I tell the same joke to a chick do you really expect the girl to receive the joke the same way.

  • [quote]Ok so what you are saying is that If im at my job and tell a random female about my first time with a chick or some dirty joke then I shouldn't get fired because i'm just treating everyone fairly............[/quote] You should be fired for telling any stranger that, regardless of their sex. [quote]you have to understand that you can't just treat random girls like they are your best friend.[/quote] Why would I ever do that? [quote]If some random guys in my game crack a sex joke I might find it funny.[/quote] So it wouldn't be funny if a female said it? [quote]If my male co-worked crack a sex joke then I might find it funny,[/quote] But not if a female coworker said it? [quote]but if I tell the same joke to a chick do you really expect the girl to receive the joke the same way.[/quote] I expect some female to find it funny as I do with males. I, a male, wouldn't find it funny since it's not my humour. I know some females who's humour that is. You need to stop generalising and realise that both sexes are diverse; each individual has their own tastes. Not all males like sex jokes and not all females hate them. I'm telling you to treat everyone the same (as a general person, not sex jokes and such) until you get to know them. I don't know if you've heard about this thing called feminism/equality/individuality, but that's what this is. Treat everyone as equals, but not the same. Use your discretion. Be mature, if possible, and try to think about other people's points of view.

  • [quote]You should be fired for telling any stranger that, regardless of their sex.[/quote] This is what we do on multiplayer games everyday and it's considered to be fine. Why is the situation any different. [quote]Why would I ever do that?[/quote] You just said that we need to treat everyone the same. So you're saying that I should treat random people the same as our closes friends when we are on the internet. [quote]But not if a female coworker said it?[/quote] In what situation does the female co-worker crack sex joke. That's like saying a guy is going purse shopping. It doesn't happen often and you should understand that. [quote] I expect some female to find it funny as I do with males. I, a male, wouldn't find it funny since it's not my humour. I know some females who's humour that is.[/quote] Some as in not the majority, as in the group that I am aiming for. I don't care about the people who don't fall under the majority because they clearly don't fall into this category and would not even bother to comment. [quote]You need to stop generalising and realise that both sexes are diverse; each individual has their own tastes. Not all males like sex jokes and not all females hate them. I'm telling you to treat everyone the same (as a general person, not sex jokes and such) until you get to know them.

Be mature, if possible, and try to think about other people's points of view.[/quote] What you are trying to do is appease everyone by saying "treat everyone the same" You are playing to the minority. " Not all males like sex jokes and not all females hate them." I hate to burst that little bubble that you live in but most guys that play online multiplayer game jokes and most girls don't want to here those jokes. There has to be some kind of middle ground reached, but you are saying "-blam!- the middle ground all let me treat everyone the same because that's what they thought me in school today." In some situations you have to understand that the "treat everyone the same rule" does not apply and should not be applied. You treat everyone the way you want to be treated. You don't treat everyone the same because treating everyone the same is retarded.
