Title: The Gentlemens Parlor - November Wanksgiving Edition
Post by: Σ on November 10, 2014, 06:44:21 pm
Welcome to Novembers parlor thread. Here the gentle souls residing at Sanctuary are given a harsh-my-mellow free zone. We have flower arranging in the morning. Tea and cucumber sandwiches in the afternoon. Smoking jackets and fine cognac in the evening. A universal haven for the easily offended, passive-aggressive, 'nice' people who feel the world of uninhibited free speech is simply too brutal and uncivilized. Intemperate language, strong opinions, blunt statements (even if irrefutably rational), criticism, sardonic wit and contempt for simple-mindedness are all heavily frowned upon and may result in tear-stained upholstery.
Here we call cigarettes "fags" and sex "shagging". Unreasonable crudeness or vulgarity will not be tolerated and any offenders to these rules will be considered "Uneducated Wankers". Luckily if you find yourself in this group you may educate yourself and graduate to the "Educated Wankers" consideration. Unfortunately Once a wanker always a wanker. We also act very British in here so we have tea and say "I haven't the foggiest" when we don't get something, That's concludes The Extra tidbits section. Cheerio!
Please note that failure to follow these posting rules will result in a modified post that tailors your comment to the parlor atmosphere.

It is just a fortunate coincidence that rich white straight men fit the definition of 'gentlemen'.
Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.

Gentlemen does not refer to exclusively wealthy, male, Caucasoid.
The word carries with it certain connotations. Those being largely misogynistic and discriminatory in nature. This is doubly true in cases of "clubs", "parlors", and the like; where a sense of exclusivity pervades the thread.

I'm offended about this being a "Gentleman's Parlor". Does that translate into this being an exclusive club for straight rich white men? :frown:
No. Believe it or not but I was quite careful about the wording of the Club description. Besides, if you ask the young gentleman staffing the cloakroom nicely he'll happily supply you with a codpiece.

No they aren't. I could just as easily say that "Ladies" refers to exclusively the spouses of rich white males. Doesn't make it true.
Whatever connotation or implication you are having trouble with, you are bringing to the word. The word is not bringing it to you.

A thread with a solid premise and fine gentlemanly pursuits throughout being derailed by perceived misogyny and the most obnoxious level of self imposed victimhoods
an example of most un-parlor attitudes chaps

The lack of Arnox in this thread is disturbing.

Gentlemen does not refer to exclusively wealthy, male, Caucasoid.
True wealthy caucasoid male gentlemen would disagree. Furthermore, being a wealthy male caucasoid is hardly insufficient to be qualified a gentleman. One has to have the breed and schooling too. Some colonial peasant who finds gold among his cow's manure could never be considered a gentleman. The romans had it all wrong old chap. Money does carry an odour, so a wealthy man can only be a gentleman if his serfs produce his wealth.
I would also like to propose to maintain a certain amount of ladylike presence. Ladies afterall soothe the soul and provide much needed entertainment.

But you contradict yourself, old boy. If one is to take wealth, whiteness, and manhood as "hardly insufficient", than I dare say that means it is rather close or is, sufficient qualities for gentility.
What then have we for the further addendum to the criteria. You're not making any sense at all dear fellow.

Whoever made this thread and decided to go with "Thankswanking" as opposed to "Wanksgiving" made a terrible decision.

My appologies. I meant ofcourse to say "hardly sufficient".

In my area, a local colloquialism for a 'faggot' is 'cock-smoker'.
oh, and cheerio, my good man, and whatnot.
They are called fags, my fellow wanker. Pip pip and Cheerio! -Balls

New addition from The Gentlemans Parlor contributor... If you wank, thou shall cum into a silver goblet. If thou should drink whiskey, thou shall vomit into a steel bowl. If thou should shag a woman, make sure they aren't a 'negro'.
