I think this is literally the most boring bit of information that I have seen on the internet all week. I nearly went catatonic. God, men's clothing is boring.

Aw! So many warm, fuzzy feelings here. :)

Why? Religions mock each other all the time. They all claim to be the "one true faith" and some of them like to go on at length about how members of other religions will burn in eternal hellfire for not worshipping the one correct god in the one correct manner. Compared to some of the stuff in "real" religions,…

You're correct about the law-flouting part (though whether the law makes sense in this case is a separate issue), but I think the main complaint here is that the officials refused to treat this woman as, well, a woman. That's a pretty big issue in trans rights, and well worth noting and fighting against. The main…

The weird thing is that if you read the Russian coach's interview, right after he does his 19th-century-style "women have another purpose" bit, he's asked about his opinion on Irina Avvakumova — and he gives her high praise for her abilities and her spirit. He talks about how she deserves a lot of respect for the…

I don't understand why you'd react this way to this video. I mean, you admit right in your comment that even you don't believe all gay or trans- people act like you describe. Do you see anyone acting that way in the video? In what way is this article actually an example of anyone hating on heterosexual or cisgendered…

I think all they're expecting to happen is for this to be an interesting experience for the participants, and an interesting concept for those reading about it. I think it achieves those goals. I mean, it's an art installation. What are you expecting it to do?

I had a somewhat similar reaction — only I think the tiny male figure is trying to climb up on Hillary's shoe, like he's trying to "stop" her (as the cover text says) or catch up to her and reach the lofty heights she's attained — and it's not looking hopeful for him.

I kiiind of agree, but I think it's important to find a balance where you accept the person individually, and don't mock them, but still make it perfectly clear that they're the ones who will have to change, and that the standards they were raised with — though this isn't their fault — are wrong, and will be, and…

I think there should be both paid paternity and paid maternity leave. Work-life balance is important, and the work culture we have in North America right now doesn't recognize that. It needs to change. If anything, that will lead to better productivity, since people will be less burned-out and less apathetic towards…

Ahh. I missed the sarcasm in For Sweden's post. Curses, I thought I spent enough time as an Internet Commenter on the Internet to pick up on such things. :(

Well, again, I could go without hearing the phrase "pleasure sleeve" ever again... Or "deep cup," in this context, for that matter. :P But I don't see the big deal in general. That specific "product" just looks like a nondescript piece of plastic, as do many female sex toys (a friend of mine once bought one that…

Eh? I'm sure there's a lot of weirdness surrounding the sex toy industry, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the concept of sex toys for males in general.

Learn to feel "needed" for other reasons? If two people in a relationship only need each other to fulfil stereotypical gender roles, then I don't think that sounds like a great relationship. The fundamental reason people should need each other, I think, is because they care about each other, want to be parts of each…

Not sure how to understand that, really.

Well no, my side was more along the lines of pointing out that it's unfair — and possibly revealing of a person's biases — to be advocating that boys get special treatment at school to help them succeed, while at the same time arguing that it's wrong for the government to help girls and women advance in fields where…

Well, men are doing better than women in lots of areas of society still, despite the whole "War on Men" thing, so why should we "red carpet" men anywhere with things like special programs to help boys in school or whatever else? Why can't we leave that up to private individuals and organizations as well, instead of…

Do you also support government programs to get more girls into STEM fields, or programs to help women advance in traditionally male-dominated careers, etc.? I ask because I am curious how much overlap there is between people who support these two different sides of the equation. I hear a lot about boys struggling in…

What? The silliest thing about the idea of a "War on Men" isn't that it blames feminism. The silliest thing is that, uh, men are still doing a lot better than women by a wide range of measures. But people who talk about the "War on Men" are brave free-speech-loving patriots, while anyone who talks about the status of…

The article's made it redundant because it referenced the meme itself.
