One particular sect of Sikhs will wear a turban, and even then only the blokes.
Do you mean a mixte frame? Or a step-thru, or a bike with a dropped top tube, none of which are the sole demise of 'ladies'
As to the bovine gendered insults;leave 'em out please, they give rise to an appearance of the sort of narrow-minded ignorance you seem to be accusing this person of.
In the sense of a legal right passed on from one generation to the next."demise"?!!![]()
I'm a jewess, you have no idea how annoying/insulting it is to hear a white Christian woman calling herself "ethnic" and thinking she speaks on any woman's behalf other than her own. I got no problem with white Christian women, other than my mother they are the only women I know.
The problem is that we all know when people say "ethnic" they really mean black or Muslim, and this stinks of "huge number of Islamic men in this area who tell their wives who to vote for, I'm on your side!!"
I also can't stand it when white middle class men tell me what people who are not white middle class men should or shouldn't be insulted by.
So yes, I'll call her a silly cow, just like I'd call a man who said the same thing a silly sod. .
You can say whatever you like, just respect the fact that white middle class men don't decide what anyone else can be insulted by any more and that different people are insulted by different things.
An example of something that drives me up the frigging wall - frankie boyle is a horrible horrible man who spouts disgusting, unfunny, bile and twaddle and yet if anyone says that they are offended by this oxygen thief then they get called humourless and over-sensitive. 100% of the time it's by a white middle class man.
Can middle class white men decide for themselves what they find offensive?You can say whatever you like, just respect the fact that white middle class men don't decide what anyone else can be insulted by any more and that different people are insulted by different things.

Ditto Christian and Muslim.
Although not a religion?
Definitely not a race or ethnic group.
I could claim membership of more ethnic and religious groups than you could shake a stick at but find it easier just settle for human.
I'd find that pretty annoying too and I am a white middle class man. But regardless of whether or not you personally would be insulted if someone called you a "cow", is it such a stretch to suppose that other women may be?I also can't stand it when white middle class men tell me what people who are not white middle class men should or shouldn't be insulted by.

Cool. There'd be less need for councillors then. One of the few things the Americans get right is local services, where the heads of seperate departments are elected, like Police, Sanitation, Highways etc, then the individual losers can be weeded out while those that do well can be left alone without recourse to party politics.
