"As a feminist and a leftist i get this a lot: the implication that if i find something offensive which they did not -- or especially if it is something they found funny or amusing -- that i am overly sensitive and, if i am so easily offended, maybe i shouldn't be using the internet."
That same statement applies to me. Only, for me, it would be "as a feminist and a conservative..." I was verbally attacked by liberals for years because I found certain things offensive, and it did result in emotional trauma.
