Someone posted this on another thread and I thought its rebuttal would make a good topic .

I didn't see when this was posted, but I had to look up the second term, and it's rather repugnant, unbecoming of a lady to use.  Apart from that, I can't determine what she means in extending this to some kind of metaphor.

As for hypocrisy, that term is often used loosely.  What exactly was the context?  What was it that "she" (I'm pretty sure I know who this was, but don't have confirmation.) was reponding to?

Calling her out for bad doctrine and feminism and overall rude/crude behavior unbecoming of a lady, etc. ... is not hypocrisy.  I imagine she calls hypocrite anyone who has higher standards of conduct than she has and who cares about Catholic doctrine.

Hypocrisy in the correct sense refers to someone who denounces someone else in arrogant terms for the very behavior he himself engages in.  Notice the use of "arrogant".  If someone is an adulterer and says that adultery is wrong, that's not hypocrisy ... just a statement of fact ... unless he justifies his own behavior while denouncing that of others.  Or if he were to say "you filthy adulterer" while committing adultery himself.  Just because one commits a sin doesn't mean that he has to say the sin is OK.  As long as the person indicts himself at the same time, that's not hypocrisy.

So we need more context.

I just took it as the heated generalizations of an upset woman.

You very well know that "someone" was me.  Are you too afraid to mention that? How effeminate.

And it is again curious that you go and start another thread on a topic that obviously hits a personal nerve with you.  Hmm... I wonder why?
