Websters Dictionary defines it:

And yes, many threads are derailed by 'fussy middle-aged women'.
If said thread gets derailed with rude comments, that's a derogatory term & a whole 'nuther animal.
*********************************
Yes, it sure is a derogatory term, and it's gender specific.
No one says men hen peck, but women have certainly been accused of "hen pecking" their husbands and others.
Words have denoations and connotations, and "hen pecking" is insulting and more specifically, insulting to women only because THAT is how it's used,,, against women, which you did.

I would also add - how can anyone even possibly with a straight face, want to discuss politics when they do not understand what our constitution meant by Free Speech?

Just a thought - every mediation I led or participated in started with
"Use only I statements"
as one of the first rules for participation.
Pretty clear why.

Okay...I was about to reply on the Bruce Jenner thread but can't....I guess we can discuss the weather or what's for dinner?, no, maybe not, we might offend the vegans or the meat eaters....really!

When I first saw it, I thought it was for comic relief.
I kept it all of these years and would run across it in my pictures sometimes...
I did think it was cute and funny...
I love the little springbok (deer)!!
She made an appearance today....on another active thread. Cute.
