I however am very normal. Trust me.
Yes, I have nothing against females, married one, quite happy with my partners gender. Boss is female, shes awesome, co workes are female, some of them are competant (same as the males really), females are great. Although I don't like nudie bars or bucks parties, too seedy, the men are repulsive in their behavour.
But when I am trying to be offensive as possible of course I am going to bring gender up, I want to come across as crazy and threatening as possible, less chance they'll come back. Yes, perhaps its lazy abuse to stoop to gender abuse, but I was preoccupied and had no chance for rehersal.
More than a decade we got bombarded with weekly visits... don't think thats going to happen again.
Yes, I like chocolate. Home office, late afternoon, kids knock on door with chocolate asking if I'd by a caramello koala for their fund raising drive, i'll buy the box.

Eh? Let me say that in this case you are an idiot.
Let's try this another way. If I was trying to insult a woman I would not say "stop being such a bloke". It really makes no sense. You are being offensive for the wrong reason in the wrong circumstance. You are offensive to me - a woman - I'm sure those guys don't really care how you percieve their masculinity.
<sarcasm>Yay. Lucky us.</sarcasm> So you are not blantantly and obviously misogynistic - you are more socialised than that. If you really care about women's equality perhaps you should spend some time reflecting on why using the threat of being a women is not really being female friendly.
I think you should also reflect on getting some better insults. Lame. Just lame.
For instance. Get them where it hurts: JWs need to proselitise so they can get into heaven. Apparently only limited numbers can get into their heaven. Tell them they are not going to make it

+1 It is frustrating when my 5 yr old boy comes home having been told he is a girl by class mates because he has long hair. So what. Why should being female be inferior to males.
Why does anyone think they have a right to use this kind of sexism in our country or any others?

We have Mormons or some weird bunch near where I live. I think they're great! Well dressed, polite, don't drink or smash up the place. I wish there were more of them!
The worst door knocker I had was a cute Irish backpacker selling milk and grocery deliveries - of course I can't say no to her so the missus had to go and cancel the order 5 mins later

I’ll humour you with a response…
Well I guess I am sexist (and stupid), because you decided I was on an internet forum, well done, the view from your high horse must give you a very rose coloured view of the world. If you knock on my door, when I have made it clear I wish no unsolicited callers, then you don’t leave when asked, you are getting abused and threatened. I find it extremely offensive that people come to my property to push their religion onto myself and family, which disrespects our beliefs and our right not to be pestered on our own property.
I will make that abuse as offensive as possible – I also thought this was the idea behind abusing someone? I am happy to highlight in my abuse sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, weight, hair colour, socioeconomic status, religion and any other attribute I deem applicable at the time. So if your offended by this regardless of how lame it may have been, I now know this is indeed a good tact to follow, although I don’t think I’ll be getting another visit.
In actual fact on reflection I do find that perhaps I was sexist as if they were male and so insistent on not leave when asked they would have been knocked down the stairs, I apologise then for not doing the same for these females, is that what you wanted to hear?
Would you like me to send you a few potential scripts that I may use for future abuse, so you can ensure that they are not offensive?

Not lame, bigoted
Being offensive is one of my hobbies, but I would tend to agree with Cypher on this. Your resource bank for causing insult would seem pretty limited, and in modern times likely to get you into the same sort of problems as that Bolt fellow (SC I need some help, what is your idols name again?). Ignorance of the hardships endured by the groups you highlight because of bigoted people in the past is as bad as being bigoted.
If you would like to enrol in one of my courses, 'Giving insult and injury in the modern era", simply head along to your local WEA and register.

This just makes you a hypocrite. Whilst it's okay to call people douchebag's and much worse, but it's not okay in your mind to abuse women based on gender?
I'm with MWI on this one. He received an unsolicited disturbance into his life, that caused anguish. The perpetrator not only ignored a written warning but still persisted in trying to "save his soul". Why should he then have to politely and without discriminating upon race, gender or religion get this person to desist trespassing.
His abuse may not reflect his personal views, but was simply designed to get the person the F@ck of his door so he could get his kid settled.
He has not even quoted what he said so to jump down his throat about being a misogynist and the like is most likely just being oversensitive and a good example of modern day political correctness. Why over several pages has he been supported in his abuse based on religion, but on the point of sex Cypher pulls him up and the wannabe lap dog jumps in?

We lived on a small rural property about 15km from a small SW WA town....and I still had some JW's turn up once. When we moved to Busselton WA the Do Not Knock sticker seemed to work too well....even people we were expecting said they weren't sure if they were allowed to knock or not (not many people read the fine print I guess).
http://donotknock.org.au/take-action/get-the-sticker-2/
Just moved again (regional WA mining town/city)) and within the first week there was JW's at the door....was thinking must get another sticker then! It was an elderly couple though and they were like "what does the sign on your door mean, what language is that?" so I'm like I don't know we're just renting I've only been here a week. Then they said about the pamphlets and I said I'm not interested thanks, and they left.
I think the sign on the door is Celtic or Irish, don't know what it says but.

Wow you are still crying about that? Good for you. Feel free to fly up for a visit and collect your free tissues. Hobart to Newcastle isn't an expensive route at the moment.

But you wouldn't bully me like this if I was a woman right. Are you a tween or just mentally and emotionally immature. You consistently turn to petty childish insults to try and make a point instead of being able to actually have a mature and intelligent debate?
So tell me, why do you believe it's okay to tell me I'm a sook, a douchebag and to come get a tissue, but you feel offence has been made when using gender to insult an unwarranted door knocker?

nathanm, you're clearly a very sensible fellow, who can see the whole picture. Thankyou for your response.
People frequently on here calling each other c&^%s, but I am called out for some anti female abuse, by what I can only presume is a feminazi.
Jehova Witnesses, you think I can say anything worse than how the women are already treated by 'their' religon? Infact I simply highlighted inadequacies in the role they are given by their own beliefs. Are they allowed leadership roles? Nope, Are they expected to be submissive to the male of the house? Yes; Are they allowed to marry who they want? Nope; Associate with non believes when not nesseccary? Nope; Domestic abuse, considered to be their fault for not ensuring the husband is happy... yet I am the mysgonist.

Today I was settling my baby and she had just gone off to sleep when there was a massive racket from the front door, very loud heavy banging. I wandered out to the door opened it to be confronted by a courier... Delivering nappies. I politely signed the tablet bizzo and off he went. No screaming no yelling at him. She didn't wake up either which was good.
My point is no one outside your house is going to know what happening inside. (If they do then that's a new level of creepy) all you have to do is say I'm not interested and close the door again. Or if it really troubles you, ask to be put on the do not call listing for the local congregation. They might pop in again in another 3-4 years to check if it's still the same person living there and ask if you want to remain on the list.
What exactly does Your do not knock sign say MWI? Is it like the one in the link above?
If it says no sales people then that's your problem. Nothing is being sold so no laws are being broken.
