Man can’t challenge Dykes on Bikes name

A federal appeals court in Washington has ruled men have no legal right to object to the name “Dykes on Bikes.”

The U.S. Court of Appeals rejected an appeal from California lawyer Michael McDermott, who said the name for a lesbian motorcycle club is “disparaging to men and is scandalous and immoral,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

McDermott had tried to challenge the U.S. Patent and Trademark office giving the club sole rights to the name “Dykes on Bikes.” The court said McDermott had no legal grounds to be offended, the Chronicle reported.

Because he is a man, McDermott cant be harmed by a groups decision to call itself “dykes,” the court wrote in a 3-0 decision, the newspaper reported

Edit: Odot reminded me:

This is political. I can not share any further opinions on the failed suit or the prick who lost then appealed then lost again. What an ass.

Ain't his political? Otherwise, I like dykes.......if they let me have my way with them.

edit:.....of course, I'd have to tie them down and stuff...but...oh, nevermind.

Sure he can! He's just likely to get his ass kicked if he does!

smutmonkey strikes again. Here's a thought: Instead of questioning authority, question yourself. I'm sure you'll get no answer.

My initial thought was in regard to a dumb ass that is stupid enough to appeal such a moronic pursuit that the signature should he changed to:

"Question Authority unless you are a dumb ass. If you are a dumb ass, just watch and do what you're told."

I think we had fun with this before... and of course, this being the FJR Forum, it degenerated quickly:

Here, I'll start...

LPGA - Dykes on Spikes (I think Toe came up with this one?)

Women-only Sierra Club - Dykes on hikes ( with *special* hiking sticks)

(you get the idea)

I only repeated it, originally spoken by CBS golf commentator Ben Wright, who doesn't have that job anymore as a result.

Snow, I take it your recent request to have your Warn Meter reduced was granted? If not, might be time-out time.

My name is Bob, and I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body, but not offended by your obvious lack of sensitivity.

I vote for "Dykes on Mikes" (good looking ones that is)

Why don't we just close this thread?

Ha! I knew it!

Gotta hand it to snowmonkey for probing the edge of the boundaries.

Unless someone wants to try and convince me this thread furthers FJR discussion or the culture of our board somehow...I'm closing this s thread. Move along....nothing to see.
