Interiors - Moderator City: Complaint about moderation

silversailor said:Sorry if I went too far with the "that time of the month" comment; I know it's a sensitive topic.
But personally, I don't think there's any excuse for acting frustrated or being dramatic over nothing.

Yeah, you definitely crossed a line. When you run out of actual points to make, you reach for the worst possible sexist cliché. "That time of the month" isn't some taboo subject; women have periods, and it’s basic biology taught in middle school. The real issue is when older guys—who aren't necessarily more mature—try to dismiss a woman's argument by claiming she's just being emotional or hormonal.

That "sorry if I went too far" line doesn't actually sound like an apology. Not only did you lean into the whole "monthly cycle" trope, but now you're labeling it a "sensitive topic." Sensitive for whom? ☕

In my book, there’s absolutely no excuse for acting out or making a massive scene over something so trivial.

Personally, I don't believe there is any justification for insults. Especially when you're attacking someone who didn't even insult you in the first place.
And as for you, acting as a moderator, you've been disrespectful from the very first post in this thread to the last.
I have a question for the admins: why is this kind of communication being tolerated?

Is it just easier to throw a bunch of labels at a user rather than actually answering a simple, mundane question?
Let me be clear: menstruation is a perfectly normal, natural part of life for women. It isn't some sensitive 🙄 or taboo subject, but again, it has NOTHING to do with what we are discussing here.
At the end of the day, I didn't ask if you had to go to the bathroom before typing out your posts here—I couldn't care less, nor would it ever cross my mind. Do you see why?

Once again, you’re being a bit too dramatic—it feels like you always just cherry-pick whatever parts of the argument suit your narrative to achieve... what, exactly? A shot at becoming a new moderator? 🤷

Mentioning "that time of the month" isn't some taboo subject; women of reproductive age have periods, and that's just basic biology taught in middle school. The real issue arises when men—who aren't necessarily more mature, mind you—try to dismiss a woman's valid arguments during a debate by labeling them as mere hormonal outbursts or unnecessary drama. It's a classic way to invalidate what she's actually saying.

The way you phrased your "apology"—asking for forgiveness *if* you overstepped—doesn't actually sound like an apology at all. Not only did you unnecessarily drag "those days" into this, but now you're categorizing them as "sensitive topics"... sensitive for whom, exactly? ☕

Well fine then, here is one for you 😘
