I HATE GIRLS!!!! They are soooo mean!

That's disgusting. You did the right thing in letting that moron know that her actions were wrong, especially when it comes to children being molested. The fact that she trolled you in front of her parasites was just, well, pathetic.

First, you're very sweet and props to you for caring enough to message her about it. The world needs more people like you! Second, you got trolled. If you're referring to the screen cap of that question asked on yahoo answers, the person who asked that made it up as a joke. People post crap like this all the time on yahoo answers to get a rise out of people. She made fun of you because you took it seriously.

Whether or not I took it seriously was irrelevant (which I did suspect it was fake). The fact that it's made up proves my point that this type of thing shouldn't be taken lightly.

You did the absolute right thing speaking up! I live in PA (Philly to be exact) and he PSU debacle has flipped this state upside down, so I understand your feelings of wanting to stick up for the issue. I'm proud of you! Girls can be vicious, but I really think it's because they're trying to deal with things they aren't happy with within themselves.

how r u doing with ur eating? did this situation make u eat more

I'm confused about this post... can anyone explain it to me please???

I think they mean that sometimes when we are stressed, we eat differently. This is MyFitnessPal, maybe they're trying to be a supportive pal? Just my guess.

Any person reading your response to her that she posted who has a decent moral bone in their body would take your side on this. Child molestation is not and should not be posted in any way as being humorous. Only sick people would tolerate it and think there is anything funny about it. You did what you believed in as morally right, and for that you should be proud. You did not overreact. You stood up for a child.

I might get hate for this, but if it's the one with the 'kid' talking about male member measuring day, you'll find it's actually a fairly old internet joke, also known as a meme (pronunced meem, like scene), originating from that wonderfully strange place known as 4chan. A lot of people know this is an old joke regarding stirring up strong emotions about molestation (also known as trolling for something), so they spread it as funny.

Other people, whether or not they know the origin of this, if they find it on a place called funnysomething . com, will assume it's humorous, and safe to joke about. If they don't know it is a joke, it also has humorous elements in the extremely oblivious poster with the very obvious answer.

(I do not advocate this sort of thing nor this kind of joke, personally)

She sounds like a bum biscuit

You were right to speak up! There will always be people who criticize those who do the right thing. They are the ones with the problem. I'm sure their were people on who read that and thought that too! Congrats to you for your courageous stand.

Her reply was out of pure embarassment at being caught doing something distasteful and then being called out on it. Be proud that you had the courage to tell her how you feel and move on. As much as we want to, we can't fix everyone. Hopefully she will ponder your statement when she is done being embarassed and change her tune.

well said!!

Seconded!

It's great you said something. Maybe, it will make her think twice before joking about it again, and you've probably saved someone who's been abused from having to hear her make fun or light of the situation in the future.

I'm a girl and I know a lot of other girls and none of us would ever do either of those things.

Thanks for generalizing, though.

I'm confused about two things.

1) Since when does one person represent an entire gender?

2) Why is MFP the appropriate place to discuss this?

im fairly sure i read the origional post on a thread that was created in bodybuilding.com it seems extremely familiar. However i would like to add that any post put up on the misc in bb.com is more than likely to be almost entirely fictional

Even though that girl shouldn't have responded that way, you shouldn't make generalizations like "I hate girls" because of it. It's sexist and just as offensive as the screenshot you complained about being used as humor.

Even though I'm a female and I'm sexist against my own sex... It was simply an observation I've made from many years of experience and interactions with my sex. I was making a statistical generalization (which is all statistical conclusions we use in academia) about the sample I've encountered. I'm sorry if I've offended you... I'm quickly learning you can't please them all :-)

That's exactly right. On a serious note, you did the right thing, haters gonna hate right?

1) they don't, think she was just venting, not trying to offend, although I can see how it would be offensive

2) it was posted in "Chit-chat, fun, and games" which is pretty much free game in terms of discussion topics
