If nothing is said to a chick, directly, who is insulted?
Once again, this is not about the social interaction between you and fat chick. This is the social interaction between a locker room of guys. Women are merciless of men in their version of the locker room, i.e. chick talk, and men have every as much liberty to speak their minds. It doesn't matter if there are women like CuriousGirl on this forum; if you step into the lion's den then be prepared to hear insulting things. It is abundantly clear the original post isn't about flaming some female member of Sosuave; it's about guys referring to some chick in real life (like some fat chick who cøckblocked him), some chick who isn't even here. Do you not see the absurdity?
So no, this has nothing to do with how you should treat people, directly, with respect.
There's nothing wrong with locker room talk like you had just stated. In fact, I believe it's healthy to know what you want and don't want and to share that with your peers. In this process you gain new understandings lose old ones, and all together grow as a person.
I'm sort of on the border here. On one point I feel that it's ideologically right to treat everyone with a certain amount of respect, even people you hate..
But on the other hand, I feel that you have to fight fire with fire. If someone insults you insult them back etc...
I was out a few nights ago with a group of girls who I went to highschool with. My wingman and I ran into them at a bar in our hometown and we joined them. The whole time two of these girls were talking ridiculous BS like "I would never settle for any man other than Brad Pitt" etc.. It just made me sick to hear that.. How shallow can a person be? So I replied back to here "Well, good luck with that! Better keep dreaming!" In sort of a C+F tone. She got so pissed at me for saying it, but I got a laugh out of her anger. These girls were also HB6-7 on a good day. So they weren't extremely beautiful.
It just makes me sick to my stomach how entitled all people in our society feel through media sources like MTV culture and sh1t like that. How shallow and materialistic people really are. Personally, I'm not like that and I never want to be that.. I may be jaded and hypocritical with this post, but I'm just a product of my environment in the end and it's how I truly think.
