...'tis also where I got my beliefs that men were the sexually abused party in our modern era.
A guy in my highschool english class did a speech on how "White Males" are the single most reviled group in modern times. Since everything you say is either racist or sexist. Yeah, because black people and women make more then white men on average. After all white men statistically get higher jail sentences then black men do for the same crime and circumstances. "Cracker" has far worse connotations than "******" does. Single white fathers make far less than single white mothers and far, far less than single black mothers. Women don't think twice about black men walking behind them on a deserted street, but if it's a white man, they look behind themselves every ten steps with a hand on their purse (specifically, the pepper spray can). Yeah. Caucasians and men are totally the most abused group of people. rolleyes [/sarcasm]

Mmmmm, haven't heard of the equal pay act, have we?
Statistics are high due to population number. White males are low because statistically they're a tad high on the population scale.
Rapists can be gay too you know.
Mmm, why is it if I hit a Caucasian male whom's harassing me it's cool but if I hit a female whom is harassing me I go to jail? Why is it if I hit someone of a different race it's considered a hate crime? Why is it when a Caucasian male gets made fun of by his wife in commercials it's socially acceptable but when the wife gets made fun of, special interest groups rally?

I sense that this is about to become a fun thread.
Also, being nice to people is a good thing, regardless of the genders involved.

D: And as an aside, I would say that cracker does have worse connotations, since it comes from "Whip-cracker" which is tyrannical. ****** merely means black >.<; But that's merely the opinion of someone who whom ****** is merely a word which people use to greet each other with. Seriously, standard greeting " 'sup ***** "

Who says it's "cool" of you to hit guys? o.O
Oh, and nice attempt at using the word "whom" to try to sound smart.

Really, that's what "cracker" means? Does anybody actually know that anymore? My friends like to just laugh about it because it seems like a really ridiculous way to try to insult someone. biggrin
Of course, there are a lot of old slurs that nobody really uses anymore that don't make a whole lot of sense, especially since a lot of them are words that have other completely innocuous meanings. I post on another forum that auto-censors words like that, and most of us wouldn't know they were slurs if they didn't get bleeped out. biggrin

We had a good laugh whenever I was actually eating crackers at the time. @Fortune: That's seemed unnecessarily antagonistic. Whom is an actual English word, I just can't remember which case it's supposed to be used in. But yeah, sometimes when we use who, it should actually be whom. Ah, the things you learn in German class.

I know that "whom" is a word. I also know when to use it, and he used it incorrectly.

yes, in my perspective it is sexism, so is feminism
so is the law that if a man hits a woman the man goes to jail
but
if the woman hits the man, the woman can't be pressed charges.
well, at least that's how it is over here.

If we're talking grammar now, he did use "whom" incorrectly. "Whom" is used when the person is an indirect object, as in "to whom" or "for whom." I'm not sure just what grammatical name you would give "the person who is harrassing me," but it's not an indirect object.

The easy way to remember it is to use "whom" when you would use "him" and "who" when you would use "he," since "whom" and "him" both end in an M =P
