Again: no. Because women, by and large, can’t choose to not have menstrual cramps. If a woman complains about menstrual cramps while refusing to take Tylenol for no good reason, damn straight I’m going to make some snide comments, because that woman is dumb.

Yes, waiting tables is a difficult job. It’s also *a job*,…

The only problem I’ve ever had with “inter-gender social dynamics” is strange men bugging me on the subway. If I want to ask a guy out, I do. If a guy asks me out in a reasonable manner, I either say yes or politely decline. It’s worked out fine for me and all the men I know, so maybe the “problems with inter-gender…

It’s so interesting how the dudes howling and raging about “how difficult intra-gender communications are” seem to completely and thoroughly miss this.

I agree. Say what you will about Playboy, the women were never being degraded physically in the shots. Hef’s entire point was to make the photos pretty and appealing, not gross. He wanted to create a new kind of class act that involved beautiful nudes that were blatantly sexual but not “dirty” or cheap.

Stealing my brother’s Penthouse and Playboy magazines and masturbating to the pics got me off during my formative years. (Sorry, brother, when mom found them in my room and you got in trouble.)

I tried to come up with an example of what it’s like, but “rich fucker who arranges with poachers to have them kill a rhino and saw off its horn for him”, while close, still doesn’t quite reflect the situation. The client is definitely culpable, on par with the producer, since no one would make child porn if there was…

“I think the most important thing here is to make sure it’s clear that we are not tone deaf and we’re aware of a renewed focus on certain issues.”

@prickamcdick: “...if you dig deep enough, you’ll find something to be upset about.”

I hear you. Nope. (Not saying this to you): Fuck the free speech argument when the theme of your dam school “mascot” is a racial slur. Your public school IS an arm of the government and the government cannot and should not promote such racist crap.

I think a good approach to this debate might be to not imply that the feelings of native peoples are roughly analogous to those of animals.

Good. There is no argument about “tradition”, “honor” or “respect” that any school or major league sports team can make that makes any of this shit ok:

Plus, the people who collect child porn generally know of others who either also collect, or who produce it. If this guy isn’t raked over the coals until he gives up his buddies, the justice system has fucking failed.

They’re also blissfully unaware that the vast majority of resources for male victims were set up by feminists. They get real quiet when you point that out.

Notice his lack of doing ANYTHING constructive for male sexually based crime victims? They never do anything to fix things like that because they don’t care. The whole motivation guys like this have for being MRA’S is they aren’t getting their dicks wet often enough and when they do, the slut (their words, not mine)…

Manful tears about how female four year old molestation victims are treated like queens and boy victims would be sacrificed to satan, or whatever mra’s are whining like babies about this week. Which is a load, girl or boy, child porn is always treated like the abomination it is.

The Jeffersons were a start. But they were not primarily a family sitcom about two parents and their kids and the sweet family lessons they learned. Cosby was the groundbreaker on that. The Jeffersons were a sitcom specifically about race and class spun off from a sitcom about race and class and gender and issues.…

She was boss. So boss.

Post-Huxtables. And they were uber rich, richer than most families on TV at the time, period. The Huxtables were upper middle class but their kids went to public school, they liked each other, they were college educated... Like my family. But both black and white people to my face at the time said they were a made up…

He was talking about the concept of a successful and intact Black family, which people now and then denied existed. Do you really think he thinks the Huxtables were real people and his real family?

Yeah, I acknowledge his point, but it seems callous at best to say that’s the “saddest” thing about dozens of women being raped.
