Honestly, I'm a cis guy and I haven't used a urinal for something like four years. I actually hate peeing standing up on principle - it just feels really unhygienic. I'd support a move to get rid of urinals in general, to be honest.
He is, isn't he? Have you ever seen his skit on Princess Diana and the inflatable lifesize model of E.T.? It's my favourite stand-up sketch of all time, bar none.
that is disgusting and yet bizarrely intuitive.
I mean, the way you phrase that makes it sound like it's a particularly exceptional problem - last I checked, wasn't approval for gay marriage higher among blacks than whites? The hate is everywhere, people just seem to bizarrely focus more on black peoples' homophobia (see; vilifying rap for being homophobic when…
yeah, I'll concede that eventually views just become completely incompatible =/
ergh, yeah, respectful's the wrong word. I meant more as in people like academic-silence, who hasn't (as far as I'm aware?) actively targeted anyone, and doesn't join in with reblogging the tasteless meme stuff.
idk I've seen blogs which are perfectly respectful (even if their views are offensive) and the response is so far off the deep end that it's impossible to engage with. for the record, I hate the tone argument and I'm not trying to invoke it against trans* people, but there's tone argument and then there's no argument…
this is the best reply. you are the best replier
Yeah I've seen people all over tumblr denouncing it. This SJ 'mob' is a lot less uniform than people seem to think.
to be fair, I'm talking more about her off and on comments on her tumblr, where she talks every now and then about trying to get rid of labels altogether, usually frustrated - which is maybe understandable if strong, distinguished identity - a lable - isn't your refuge. Then again, it's entirely possible I've gotten a…
Eh, that's a judgement I'm probably not qualified to make. There have certainly been radfems who have been calm and haven't targeted anyone and have been met with death threats, but there's a lot of really cruel denigration and dehumanisation passed about within the radfem group as well - nobody's exactly sparkling…
Lord, she annoys me as well. I think it's because a lot of her attitude clearly comes from a place of having the time and space to work things out. She constantly blithely talks about how "labels are so silly!" (usually talking about how people define themselves sexual-attraction-wise or identity-wise) and seems to…
Yep! It gets continually more aggressive and ridiculous, too.
Er, not off the top of my head, though if you dig through her tumblr you'll find people calling her out about it. She says she's never done such a thing and that she's being victimised, so to be honest I'm not really sure who's lying or if anyone's lying and they've all been equally shitty to one another.
Except with other institutions (political, corporate, take your pick) there's an expectation that those at the top should be accountable - whether that's by a democratic process or by regulation. Religions, which at the end of the day universally account only to whatever highest-principle they revere (God or concept),…
Cathy Brennan, though she denies all charges. Radfem vs. trans rights activism on tumblr is one massive clusterfuck of mutual horror.
Please give me an example of an organised religion with any real power that /hasn't/ displayed institutional homophobia or sexism at one time or another.
that's actually "apatheism" - the belief that the question of whether God exists is irrelevant to morality. Count myself one of your number =D
