Hey I have a question.....if the pms and ims that some of us have been getting are so ok, then what is the big problem with Hurlygurly's post? So she was mad!!!! I'm mad too!!!! Either we are offended by naughty talk or we aren't....there is not going to be a double standard here. I really feel bad that everyone is ready to tar and feather her for sticking up for me....she heard about my situation and it was just kind of the straw that broke the camel's back. I really wish I had started the thread myself. Maybe I would have used different language but hey....we have all popped off at one time or another. Just believe me when I tell you that she is not the kind of person who comes on here and starts flames and causes trouble....EVER. I am far more controversial than she is....so please everyone climb down off her back....she was just being a sister!!!!

Iowa....I am not really sure how to take your post about our symphony. I think all of us Chi Omegas are familiar with it. It is subject to interpretation....to me being womanly means standing up for myself and my fellow women and not allowing others to tear at my dignity. Being discouraged never, to me, means sticking by my principles even when everyone else seems to disagree, or seems to be jumping on a popular bandwagon. Obviously our symphony is public, not ritual, but I would venture to say that knowing what else is behind it, a Chi Omega is best equipped to interpret and use it.

Again, I am not suggesting or asking that any guys on here threaten anyone. All I am asking is that you don't support those who are acting inappropriately....but hey, even if you do, we'll survive.
You know, maybe if you had posted, it would have been better? Maybe you could have worded it better or something? Of course we all lash out sometimes, but lashing out at an entire group of people is unacceptable. NOW, I wouldn't even want to know what the reaction would be if i were to say something like "some of you little b(#$*es" referring to ladies on gc. First, I don't think that, because i talk to a few girls on here. Second, even if I did, thats just uncalled for, especially because not every single person is subject to a generally made comment such as that.

In all, I believe that the person who started the thread at least knew that it was going to possibly cause drama, hence the posting under a newly created nickname. Take that for what it's worth.

p.s. you say that she never comes on here and startes flames and/or causes trouble? Like i said a gizillion times, the way she simply worder her statements caused drama. Then by telling "us guys" we had better straighten it out!!! OMG, yea, most of us didn't even know about it, or would even do such a thing, but we are required to "straighten it out?"
I'm not talking about dirty lanugage, finger pointing or double standards. I'm talking about invalid arguments that keep trying to establish a baseless point. Yet, there are others who have posted which I do understand. Like I also stated before, this person is definately not of caliber of the majority of the "doods" on the great gc, so why was the thread created in the first place? That's my major quam..think about it, it if is a cause by one, or a very very small minority, why is the outlash directed at the majority?
