When I see the "Y" on it, I just think that their in a bad mood. To be quit honest, I have heard men being called the "B" word. I have got to admitt that when I first seen it, I laughed about it.
Personally it doesn't offend me. I'm not affraid to approach someone with this mood. I do understand how this could scare someone off. Some people are really sensitive to that. I've got to say that I have had a few people on here snap at me with the happy mood.
Pegasus, I will say for a man that it's really good that you hate the word. It tells me that you show a lot of respect for women. One thing that I will not tolerate is someone calling me a "B".
