"Annoying Know-It-All Guy" - Any guy who knows (or claims to know) how to fix a car.

I understand that behavior - I'm self-taught from an early age, largely missing parents due to work requirements, etc. That environment breeds apexual thinking...when you're that disconnected from people in general you naturally start to define yourself in terms of what you do or what you're capable of doing. Well,…

We're all a sum of experiences - some of them leaving a bigger mark than others. I'm sorry for what you had to deal with but really appreciate you sharing. It certainly gives me a better context for trying to understand what you believe about the goals of feminism.

The reason I think I side-tracked here is because I read "man-hater" and "pissed at us" and I thought "radical feminist"...I fell into the same trap again; off-topic, my bad. Radical feminism is going to get painted in a bad light for however long the media keeps portraying them as a bunch of unreasonable misfits. The…

In my limited contact with radical feminism I'm reminded of the SCUM Manifesto and the Warhol incident. I don't know where these ideas sit in the radical feminism scene and I hear calls of satire. I would, however, say that Valerie Solanas is a bit of a man-hater. The satire call may be mainstream feminism trying to…

And, Locke, with some very interesting responses - I find this one particularly interesting. You're right I don't see the chemical/cognition divide in the brain because of the uncomfortable position that the mind desires something that the mind cannot manifest - it seems irrational (i.e. Desire must surely happen…

Agree and disagree on some points - here's why. I'm not sure that radical environmentalism espouses violence in the same way. Sure, I'm not going to deny that it can get quite violent - at the far end of the spectrum there's always going to be some amount. Having just referred to the core tenets of radical feminism I…

That's just par for the course in the games industry, though most of the time that's what's regarded as "crunch". I've known some studios to keep up perpetual DEFCON 1 in order to keep staff in a permanent crunch, but most studios know they can't get away with this for long. It's a recipe for burnout and staff…

I read "milquetoast" and thought of breakfast for some reason.

I hear ya. My wife wouldn't let me make the bed because I couldn't tackle difficult domestic concepts like hospital-corners. The few times I was allowed to make the bed I'd just pull the wrinkles out enough and straighten the comforter. Hey, it worked. I couldn't find anything wrong with it. My golden rule was "You…

I've seen this too. Some of the younger couples I've seen are all too keen to split the bill and they both chip in on most things. We're seeing some of the friction starting to give way. What's going to be interesting is when these new-agers enter into a family dynamic - they're going to have to figure some things out…

I open doors for men, women, and older couples. It's respectful and just a "Nice thing to do(TM)".

So solve this then. I can be a guy and then understand that denying pro-choice or equal-pay anywhere is just bad - I get that, it just makes sense. The problem is that the two organizations aren't really talking to each other. There needs to be some co-operation, mutual backscratching and sometimes compromise on tough…

Of course we are.

What's the conjecture? Men get bored and start decrying their human rights if they're not getting boned? You can flip that too easily and say women do the same if they're not getting boned. Not true at all. Also very misandric (I love how the spell checker doesn't recognize that word).

You're picturing the inhabitants wearing string vests and caps with beer cans aren't you? Possibly with beer guts.

Further, I've seen corporate sites with gyms that would definitely make the local gym blush. Nothing wrong with throwing in some perks and personally I'd rather they do this than hand out free Cheetos or vodka at the corp party. From the pictures I can't even say this is particularly excessive.

The guy was likely ancient at the time he wrote it, so I guess he'll never change his ways now. It's sad. I hope it doesn't still happen. It probably does still happen in some places.

The point of increasing sexual desire being dangerous is interesting. It's also an issue that isn't specific to females but the over-expression of sexual desire can manifest in a whole manner of nasty ways. Let's say you prescribe a similarly functioning drug to a man that already has a strong sex drive...can you…

Very heavily agree. This causes so much grief it's just not worth considering. Working out compatibility is hard enough without having to fight over who gets a slice of the pie. I wouldn't consider joint accounts until there's some crunch on fiscal responsibility. If you're developed enough to make decisions about…
