yes, that is exactly what it was. not a joke, just "internetting"
i was browsing forums and came across a "joke" post where someone said "silly boy, girls don't ride bikes. not real ones"
they were talking about mountain bikes, etc. it was a humorous thing. and then i went to watch "shadetree surgeon" on youtube and found his girlfriend had been involved in a motorcycle accident. and he was all upset because he doesn't know how to work the dishwasher and had to mop the floor

and then i came here and for the first time saw the "Ladies Only Forum" and thought 'really? some people think women shouldn't even
ride bicycles, much less motorcycles! just ask shadetree!' could fall, get hurt, and leave the dishes for the men folk!
and so the "Don't Be Silly" thread was created in good and bad humor. plus i got neg repped for being "sexist." but what is more sexist than having an entire forum for WOMEN where male riders cannot post? that could be construed a number of ways IF taking oneself too seriously. someone could take issue. but that would never be me
because that truly would be silly, wouldn't it? i love women. they can have whatever they want, idc
pretty sure sometimes internet is supposed to be spontaneous, entertaining (for oneself), and irreverent. if some "don't get it" or have delicate sensibilities offended, that is often times not the intent, as it wasn't this time. but i cannot help what others
think or construe for themselves
but yes, i will now go back to just posting about bikes. no more fun and games for me, or spontaneous, random thoughts made into threads. now if you excuse me i have a pic of a zip tie faring mod i made to hold down some plastic on my bike to post up
it won't be very entertaining, but it might help someone from losing their front end
i want to say "so, don't go get your panites in a bunch anymore over my posting." but, it might be sexist. so i'll just say "don't go let your boxers creep up anymore over my posting" and leave it at that
