may I suggest a change to "wimps" or "wipe-ass"?
pussies is very sexist. it implies to be female is to be inferior.

Re: tribe name
Wed, March 23, 2005 - 9:59 AMI still like the name. in this context I do not think it to be sexist either. more to point out the ignorance of those who would call us that. and revel in it. -

Re: tribe name
Fri, March 25, 2005 - 9:44 AMWelcome to the world of moral relativism: "I don't think the name's a problem, so it isn't." world of thinking.
Maybe if any of you GUYS actually had a pussy, you would realise how calling someone "pussy" IS a putdown of all women. It's basically saying "because you have this type of anatomy, you are weak, and therefore unimportant."
But hey, don't me rain on your hipster parade,
you DICKHEAD PRICKS.
Get it now?

Re: tribe name
Fri, March 25, 2005 - 9:49 AM> you DICKHEAD PRICKS.
I have been called much worst really doesn't phase me. I can understand some outrage but that is also why i like it, it is intended to shock. I don't think what anyone said is cause to attack everyone here though.
thanks for the hipster comment guess that make me one of them or something.
it's all about context

Re: tribe name
Fri, March 25, 2005 - 9:51 AMoh and also If you can come up with a name that could be shocking yet simple (which again is why I personally like the name) send it out and let's discuss it.
calling this a hipster parade is no better than the people calling us(well all but you) pussies -

I am a woman.. I have a Pussy..I'm not offended by the name.
I'm not weak or unimportant ..we are equal, as humans.

Re: tribe name
Fri, March 25, 2005 - 9:58 AMI used DICK HEAD PRICKS as an example: it's the analogous phrasing to pussy since it uses the male sex organs as a putdown. ie. "you have a penis, therefore you are a stupid asshole" school of thought.
IF all you are looking for is to shock, it's telling that "pussy" is powerful putdown in your vocabulary.
wipeass would have the same effect and is generic to both sexes. -

Re: tribe name
Fri, March 25, 2005 - 10:01 AMoh, and just to be clear, dickhead pricks is just as offensive. -

Re: tribe name
Fri, March 25, 2005 - 12:05 PMjust as I side note, I consider hipster more offensive than dickhead prick :)

Re: tribe name
Fri, March 25, 2005 - 10:10 AMsee I have been called a pussy and a dick head pick many times in my short life here, but I have never been called an asswhipe
I have been called a dickhead prick often when I am acting like an asshole, and yes from time to time I do that.
I have also been called a pussy and as late the reason I get called a pussy i most often due to my stong non-violence belifes like "oh you don't believe we should be iraq, you're a fucking pussy".
now If you ever get into baroom politic discussions I'm sure you probably have been called the same. This tribe is not intended to put down over half of the world population. but to revel in the strength of our stong convictions against violence, regardless of what they see as a weakness.
so in a nut shell why i think this is a good name, and really not meant degrade women it is to take soladerity in our strength that some perceive as a weakness.
ya get it? -

Re: tribe name
Fri, March 25, 2005 - 6:51 PMI'd rather be called a dickhead prick than an asswipe, anyday.
I've been called a pussy, too..but not in a long time...It'd be kinda nice, actually...

Re: tribe name
Sat, March 26, 2005 - 3:23 PMThe thing is, TLB, is that we aren't using it as a derogatory word. We revel in our pussy-ness. Right now, b/c I'm stressed, being a pussy is a goal. I'm too defensive and occasionally agressive. It makes me sad. I'm wishing that I had my pussy attitude back.
It's only a negative word if it is intended that way. If you decide to take offense at something that other people don't mean that way then it isn't their fault.
Karma is based on intentions, not results. -

Re: tribe name
Sat, March 26, 2005 - 4:10 PMOh, I knew that..I've had a hard time being a pussy, myself, lately. That's why I like a tribe that reminds us once and a while , where our priorities should be.
