My “mama’s boy” of a brother was created by our father. Which is the thing, any of these attitudes can be created by either parent. It’s one of the many things we need to stop gendering.

Going to AskMen.com as a legitimate source of information in regards to men makes as much sense as going to Jezebel.com for feminist thought.

It’s funny because no one ever talks about how men have daddy issues and there’s lots of them. But of course we’re supposed to believe that men can overcome anything and women are fragile messes if they don’t have a strong male figure in their life.

Saying a woman or girl has “daddy issues” is fucking wretched. If she has daddy issues, shouldn’t the hate be directed at, you know, her god damned father? How is his disgusting and damaging fuckery her fault?

Good luck with your little green ball.

Reports out of Alouettes training camp say that Michael Sam was having a hard time adjusting to his role in the 12-man CFL defensive scheme, where teams generally employ a fifth defensive back.

Now, now. Her pregnancy will be different. It will be sacred.

I was thinking the same thing, and then I remembered how shitty it was to be on the receiving end of violence in high school. In high school, if someone punches you in the face and you hit them back, you’re basically just as at fault as they are. It doesn’t make any fucking sense, but self-defense usually doesn’t work…

Dude.

Gamers seem to think bitching about things we love is funny and edgy now rather then stale and tired...

how does a free giant update to a demo equate in your head to needing to negate it with some preemptive doom and gloom?

Not exactly true. FF7 was the dawn of 80s hair FF, but Tactics with who knows what hair came out after it. FF12 also did not have those. Ivalice FTW.

Humor is relative, for that reason we typically don't force people to be subjected to our humor without their consent.

I didn't see that but I'm sure Mark does - he seems like a great, funny guy and I have no doubt he operates within the healthy boundaries of a happy relationship. That's why "HE SHOULD DUMP YOU" is not OK but "this is not a very nice thing to do" is a fair comment to me. Sometimes things that are acceptable in one…

hey! I'm one of the humorless people who ungreyed a comment along these lines (though not a disgusting one). I think it's a valid perspective and definitely one that would have been all over the comment section if Mark had done this to a female partner. The backlash would have been swift and ferocious. I didn't…

similar lack in sense of humor

Yeahhhh they must have a different relationship than I do, because neither I nor my husband would do this to each other because it would be NOT COOL. And the fallout would be not cool. It seems to have gone fine for them so they clearly DO have a different dynamic and it must have been ok (Mark says above that he…

It's interesting that you chose to reply to my rather mild rebuke of this situation (I even say that it's funny to read) rather than some other folks (whose comments weren't visible when I replied because internet refresh lag exists) who are saying that he's a shitty person. I'm sure that he has more insight into his…
