Fairy Tail Guild RP Current News


Hey everyone, it's me, your Lord and Savior, your Once and Future King, and your new Admin-for-Life Unlimit Sendo. I'm here to drop some turnbuckle-diving elbows and awesome news. There's been some relatively small updates to rulings regarding summon familiars and single summons. Additionally, there's also been a pretty big update in regards to the AP shop which reorganizes it and adds a ton of new stuff. You can find that in the AP Shop section under Item Creation. Check it out.

But that's something we call 'Positive Discrimination'. Yes, it's sexist, but in a good way. I think only the uber-extreme feminists will mind this.
^ That.
Technically it is sexism but it's not negatively skewed, but even a positive discrimination is a discrimination and since the -ism refers to a differences in behaviour towards one group than another it is sexist to be a 'gentleman'.

Personally, I do gentlemanly acts for my friends regardless of gender but otherwise I just let them be.

Note: I misread this topic to be 'Do you think being a gentlemen (gentleman) is sexy'. Upon clicking in and discovering my error I was - needless to say - disappointed.

Now, open the door so that I may depart >.>

You've just been Britified.
This is what is commonly referred to as... hypersensitivity. As a woman myself, i find it polite when someone opens the door for me. It's called...hrm...oh what is it...reciprocation! God damn it, people are so god damn sensitive today! Jesus, apparently it's sexist for a guy to do anything that isn't adoring and weak towards a woman when it comes to some feminists. This is why I stopped calling myself a feminist; I'm a humanist.

Christ this is just like that whole elevator debocle all over again -.-

What the heck is wrong with being a "Gentlemen" sexist? I don't see how is opening the doors for girls. It's nice to help somebody Calling a "gentlemen" sexist is like opening a door for another guy and calling him a female. :hmmm:

Gentleman are all nice! My friend is trying to be a gentleman and she's a girl. That would make her a gentlewoman or "lady"..

Whoever is claiming that is not a feminist. There's nothing sexist about being respectful. Why must people ruin the term feminist. Now, we have to refer to egalitarian because crazies messed up the term for us.
