I’ve been tracking your arguments, particularly with Paul Kinsey: ultimately it’s not worth breaking it down for you because this is still a comments section: rare indeed to change a mind/change a life on this platform.

I see what you’re trying to say and I understand the impulse. But at the same time, you’re either diminishing or outright ignoring the history of feminism and the social dynamics that followed each and every wave. Across the 20th century, women’s liberation was met with an equally significant liberalization of social

That consciousnes concerted effort should become second nature to you by the time you’re a grown man. Especially during everyday activities like grocery shopping. Noticing and appreciating an attractive member of the opposite sex is fine. Feeling like a hot chick is “playing you” by wearing workout attire is not

Fuck that. You can notice me all you want. Who wants to go through life unnoticed?

It’s you fuckwads who are equating ‘notice’ with ‘opportunity to assault’ who need to get help - now, before you harm someone.

And hey, you know what? Which US state has the highest rate of sexual assault? Alaska.

Know which state has the

Ugh. Must we keep doing this?

So every porn video is exactly the same? They all feature women that look identical in exactly the same state of undress doing the exact same acts? Of course not. You’re making my argument for me. The variety of porn on the internet is extremely diverse because what turns men (and women and intersex individuals) on is

See... Here’s where you’ve got it wrong. You keep acting like women’s clothing choices are about you. They’re not. The attractive woman you saw in Trader Joe’s wasn’t dressed the way she was dressed to “play” you. I’ll grant you that women can at times dress a certain way hoping to appeal to men in general. Just like

Dude, go ahead and wear “package accentuating yoga pants” if that’s what you want to do. You’ll probably look ridiculous, but that’s your call. I think society would carry on just fine.

Oh dear oh dear - you’re one of those people who gets their jollies going into places you hate and annoying everyone who likes being there. I could toss out the usual, accurate descriptors - sad, pathetic, monstrously irritating, crushingly narcissistic etc. etc. - but I’ve already reached my maximum allotted time for

She’s a famous actress who was in - amongst other things - The Force Awakens, which made umpty-billion dollars on release and dominated the industry nws cycles for months.

The internet doesn’t require you to care, but being on the Audio Visual Club - a website devoted to the film, television, and music industry - and

Good for you.

As a person who suffered health issues and gained 60 lbs, after being someone who always had 10-15 lbs to lose, I can attest: 2-3 hours/day of physical mobility (now that I can finally do it - walking is fine) + eating very little is the only way I can *not* gain weight. I can’t lose it. People are very judgy but they

Or if you completely fucked your metabolism on a reality show.

The difference is that I don’t care.

That is exactly my point in what’s really wrong with this mentality. When someone wishes me “May the blessings of the Earth Mother be upon you,” they’re not imposing a custom on me: they’re extending their benevolence in what is customary to themselves. I, personally, am thankful eventhough I do not believe in such an

Can’t I simultaneously find this funny and also know that I am never going to go to KFC ever?

I said this on another post a couple of months ago when a black couple was harassed b/c they were playing on their phones during the anthem: 1) This is fucking America, citizens don’t have to say the pledge or stand for the anthem. 2) These fucking beckys didn’t even know if the guys were protesting when they decided

Right, everybody says questionable things unintentionally. And like I said to my friends and co-workers at the time, at the end of the day, it doesn’t actually matter. Intentional or not, it’s still inappropriate behavior that needs to change. Consequences are consequences when people perpetuate institutional racism.

I understand your caution though. My workplace is a minefield of hidden white nationalists. I work for the DoD

I think we’re best friends now.
