I mean the manly, non-lesbians, straight girls who have bigger muscles than their boyfriends and run faster. They enjoy picking on out of shape people such as myself.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks!

Dude, are you just incapable of learning a lesson? Weren't you practically run off the forum for pulling this same idiotic shit months ago? Are you and idiot or just a douche?
Tom:
As it turns out, neither is mutually exclusive.
Slick:
Dude just doesn't get it. Calling him a douche is not going to help.
To spell it out, the problem with using dyke like that is that it is often used as an extremely negative term for lesbians. When it shows up as in the phrase 'evil dykes' people are offended because it conveys a certain attitude towards homosexuals which most of us here think is entirely inappropriate. It also kind of reinforces the stereotype that women should not be muscly.
For future reference, it'd probably be better to just use call them 'butch exercisaholics' or 'sadist-masochist exercisers'.
We understand you're probably not a gay-hating woman-basher, but your choice of language coupled with the fact that you're pretty much a stranger here is causing you to look pretty bad. Sexism and homophobia are still serious issues in the world today, so some people can get upset when people use offensive terminology.
Gemmwah:
I don't like it when people say "dyke" because it makes me feel like I should be ashamed of myself.
Okay that's totally a lie but if I was the kinda girl that ever felt shame, it would totally make me feel ashamed.
ETA: Blogga blogga bloooooggg,
My copy of Wrath of the Lich King arrived today.
See you in a few weeks.
jhocking:
All this talk about dykes is reminding me that I haven't finished reading the New York magazine article about Rachel Maddow.
