I used to feel the same. Then I realized that these types of comments say more about the peron speaking than about the group being commented on, and stopped wasting my time. I still hate hearing the crap, but I find that giving the moron the "you're a f---ing idiot" look and walking away works best. You won't change their minds by arguing, and most of these types are just trying to make themselves look clever, so why give them the satisfaction?

Plus expecting sensitivity on a Harley forum might just be a tad unrealistic. Perhaps your real problem is communicating with men. And how they communicate with each other. Ever hear two best friends call each other a bald headed pervert? Or some similar insult? Think they mean it? Does one of them run away crying? Sometimes that's how men talk to each other. Sure it's immature and stupid. Are you surprised?After all we ARE talking about men.
I posit that perhaps you may be alittle too sensitive for this place. Don't expect men to turn this forum into The Oprah Winfry Show. Ain't gonna happen. Isn't there an all female forum here. Of course some horny ******** would probably crash it.
Anyway,I do admire your sensitivity and empathy. But try not to take things so personally.

Bikergirl, first off I have got to say you are HOT!!!
I know what you mean about "grouping". In addition to my Harley and Miata my wife and I also own a Toyota 4Runner (SUV) and it really cracks me up when I read posts about those damn ---- in SUV's. Let's see,I get out of my SUV and climb on my bike and all of a sudden Igone from a jerkto Mr. kool. Seems pretty stupid to me.
Hang in there.
