Bravo! I concur.

Over the past two days, I've dealt with two bright-blazing sexists who insisted that their discriminatory and degrading speech somehow "wasn't" sexist. I used several of these phrases, especially including #10. (Not quite the same, since I'm not a woman, but yes, they work.)

When one of the twits complained I wasn't "being inclusive" of his views, a moderator friend of mine was kind enough to bring up the Paradox of Tolerance to the dweeb in question, and then explain that discriminatory attitudes are not eligible for "tolerance" or "inclusivity".
