So why is sexism tollerated?




Welll, i guess theres just not enough females around to hold up against the male horde :rofl .



No seriously, Air Combat is a 'mans world'. Any female that goes play in that sandbox knows it and deals with it.  And to be honest, i never felt the sexism gets overboard anyways. But then, maybe thats just me.

Both I think.  IMHO anyone in any business MUST consider litigagtion OR they will suffer the probable loss of their business and maybe worse.

The link refers to what is probably an unwinable case.

That doesn't really matter!

You could win EVERY legal battle and still lose your business due to litigation cost!

it depends on who is being racist.  morpheus and others have made many derogatory comments about me and have never been called on it.  stuff like that washes off of me like water on a duck's back though I find it humorous and take it as a sign the person who resorts to it has nothing else to argue with. so there is considerable tolerance for racism depending on who the protagonists are.

i agree with u schatzi, we r women in a man's world, not many of us on here, but i have never gotten to the point that "sexism" on the game is too much to tolerate. i never take anything on here seriously. but us females of AH have to realize that we r invading on male territory and its not all talk of planting flowers and sewing blankets. its to b expected that boyz will b boyz. just my 2 cents

well it was more of a general gripe about biased moding,

shouldn't they try to be consistant? Like storch said..... racism even seems to be tollerated, as long as it's not a comment aginst the 'wrong' group.... I've seen people get kicked for anti-black terms, which makes sense.... but other terms for other groups just don't offend I guess. :huh

Maybe the mod's talk to such people in private but I see pleanty of examples of racial & regional comments, or examples of anti-gay comments or anti-noobie comments...... and even sexist comments.  

Not to meantion anti-'liberal' comments :D

To me, it just seems inconsistant.

The mods really should do something about some of the comments made to women pileits in the game.People are very crude,I can assure you that my dad would've never allowed me to make comments like I some people making to Betty.He!! I see stuff that is plain and simple WRONG and any self respecting man would never say things like that.So hats off to you Betty for tolerating those kind of comments.I personally would be looking for addresses if I seen/heard someone talk/type to my wife in such a manner.Now what men say to each other ,well thats a different story,but we all can be more respectful or decent to eachother even if it is a make believe world.You shoot some people down and you better be grabbing your flak-jacket cause it's coming.Sometimes it's frustration,sometimes it's just banter and ego pushing or ego bursting,but regardless of the reason there are certain barriers that shouldnt be crossed.If the mods dont deal with the person or people then maybe we as players should be more self moderating.Of course I get frustrated like anyone else and go after someone every once in awhile but not on a consistant basis.This game is nothing more than what you or I make it out to be.It can be the most fun part of our day and relaxing or it can be the final nail in our coffin,because of the stress induced stroke we had from getting our arses handed to us on a consistant basis.You always have the option of squelching players as well,but I believe most dont because, we enjoy seeing a good whit mtch or word duel as well as fighting planes.  to everyone who makes this game what it is,and those who require frequent squelching to remind me of how stupid a statement made in public can really look.

i guess i can understand where some would feel this way. i have ran into a few rude ppl on here but for the most part, everyone is awsome. i have a good sence of humor, and i never take anything that is said seriously. there are alot of times that i am so involved in flyin that i don't see alot of what ppl say to me. i just don't see why i should get mad over some of the stuff said, i think i dish it out pretty good myself sometimes....hehe

i really do believe that this is a "mans" world on here, and i am in many ways invading on that territory. no reason to get upset though bout some of the jokes or comments that r made. if someone makes me mad though, i will deffinatly make it b known.
