DaddySatyr -> RE: When did monogamy become such a dirty word? (6/6/2014 5:44:02 AM)

I never used the words: "offensive" or "negative". What I said was that a statement in the OP seemed to be rather intolerant.
I tend to agree with Stephen Fry when it comes to the words "offended" or "offensive". They've been over-used so much that they're meaningless (almost).
When a person makes a statement about experiencing intolerance and then, goes on to make an intolerant statement, the reader is forced to wonder if they're dealing with a chicken or an egg. I pointed this out as a possible "fix" to the problem that the OP posted about.
There are any number of people on here that don't understand why people don't just compromise and do things their way. That's unfortunate but I think it's kind of human nature.
Combating intolerance with intolerance seems counter-productive, at best.

Yes, the OP was about experiencing negativity towards monogamy in the BDSM community. And the OP asked for people's experience and guidance, which she got. But for a monogamous woman to say she considers herself a "good girl" is not, in my opinion, offensive to anyone. And the word "casual" is not offensive, or even inherently negative... unless you infer the person's attitude in using it, which I think may have been too freely done here.
Screen captures still RULE! Ya feel me?
