Though I was glad to see a new female posting here that knew handicapping. It seems, unfortunately, you're more interested in being combative. I'm sorry I spoke up.

Oh the “ sugar britches “ comment was meant for Tiffini ? I thought she was referring to PowerUpPaynter. My mistake ..

Interesting...

BTW, in case you couldn't comprehend, the ONLY reason Grits called her Sugar Britches is because Tiff called Grits HONEY.

Now, how much more ridiculous can this thread get before I shut it down?

A woman calling a stranger "honey" (which is very standard in the South-- I have heard it all the time when I am down there) is not nearly the same as "Sugar Britches".

One is just an expression-- the other is both gendered and carries implications about argumentative females. It's basically like calling women the b-word.

PA, I am not.

I mean, I have litigated sex harassment cases. I studied feminism in college and law school.

Equating Tiffani's use of the regionalism "honey" with a man calling her "sugar britches" is a classic false equivalence, which is a rhetorical strategy to prevent serious discussion of discriminatory language. It's "whataboutism", and it implies that as long as a woman doesn't comply with a just-made-up standard of rhetorical restraint, she's fair game to gendered insults.

PA, I'm not the one out of my depths here. And honestly, you should want to foster a positive environment for female handicapping talent on this board, lest it become or remain a sausage fest.

GRITS ISN'T A ****ING MAN.

I told you that you were out of your ****ING DEPTH.

Now who is the sexist?

What do you call it when you assume a woman is a man?

Ok, PA.

Now why does that make "honey" the same as "sugar britches"?

You should quit while you're far behind.

Where did I do that? I don't believe I ever referred to Grits' gender.

EDIT: OK, I did in the last post. I apologize to Grits for that.

Sugar britches is still sexist language though

Like I said...I'm one of the few in this thread who can actually read, apparently.

Calling me Sugar Britches is what I find combative and actually worse than anything LoneF deluisionallu spews.

Then, don't call me honey again, Tiffani. Thank you!

Honey has long been as sexist as any other derogatory comment directed at women. Not to mention, condescending when said by another women.

And, Dilane, I've said nothing whatsoever about Tiffani's style. This is the only thing that I've spoken up about. The arguing.

ME??? A MAN?????????????????????

I'm a Southern woman, and I still live here, Dilane. Decades. I just travel to NY a lot watching horses run. With 4,700 posts here at PA, you don't know yet I'm a female? People pay you to represent them in legal proceedings? Lord, you suck at discovery.

I'm gonna be honest with you. What you know about southerners wouldn't span the head of a pin!!!

Mike is right, you are way, way out of your depths.

Again, I'm sorry Tiffani for having provoked you.

Some more discovery for dilane...I'm the Mike she's referring to here.
