It's insulting to all women to be compared to Ian Pulter.

That's considered sexist now?

I can see them saying it's inappropriate for the PGA Pres. to be making insulting tweets, but trying to make that out as sexist is ridiculous.

Insinuating a short fall in personality by comparing him to a woman is sexist. Period. If he said his comments were like those of a black person, would it be racist? Of course. C'mon man, get with the times.

If we can't call complainers "little girls" anymore, I don't know what we can say.

You and I can say it , but the head of a highly public and multi-gendered organization like the PGA ?
Nope.

I'm all for keeping these people from making stupid tweets, but don't try to say the reason you're ousting him for those tweets is that stuff like this is "sexist." They clearly think they can bolster their case for getting rid of him by appealing to the PC police.

Like all professional sports the PGA tries desperately to recruit people to play their sport. The president of said organization comes out with multiple statements about Poulter being a girl - insinuating that he is lesser of a person like a girl. How is that not sexist?

What he said is insulting because it insinuates that females are criers , and that their not as capable as men at fortitude and staying strong .
All joking aside , that is a sexist statement to the letter.
I am not trying to argue the finer points of sexism in todays society , but you cannot be a figurehead in the public eye and say inflammatory things to or about distinct groups of people in jest.
PC or not , what he said was a mistake on his part and it rightfully cost him his job.

My handle is a reference to Venables' hiring press conference. It's not sexual, racist, or sexist.
If I called your kid a "little N***er", would that be acceptable?
Here's some more social advice. Don't make fun of people with disabilities. They can't help it. And sometimes people with financial problems aren't just morons living on food stamps.
In summary, you probably don't swing the biggest #### on the block so don't act like you do.

Right. Pretty par for the course, to go along with the golf theme.
How in the world this has something to do with making fun of people with disabilities, I don't know. Unless you're mentally disabled.

Making fun of mentally disabled is on par with making fun of black people or women or jews or short people.
You, accepting the mentality that it is okay to make fun of women is akin to all the other examples I listed. You are either a bigot or you are not. It's not a PC issue. Turn around and ask your wife if a woman can be president.

More irrelevance

Whether or not it's really sexist to say that a boy "plays ball like a girl" or a grown man is "acting like a little girl" has nothing to do with whether a woman can be president. Keep in mind that in this example, nobody is making fun of women (or whatever other group for which you're so zealously taking up the banner), they're making fun of a grown man for not acting like a grown man. So, if you really want to be accurate, insults like these are really more "ageist" or "homophobic" than they are sexist.
