Pretty sure it's in the vein of "you're the racist for pointing out racism."

No, I am not a troll. I am asking for clarification. The comment you quoted examines some societal norms, establishes that they are contradictory and expresses dislike of those standards. That isn't bigoted given the definition and etymology you pointed me to. I just want to understand your claim.

Let's be real, it's very very hard for a man to think of a woman as a human being unless they are related to one. Preferably if they have reproduced and had a girl. That gets the message through almost every time.

Sorry, dude! Take it up with the bros.

Like Gollums of the internet they love and hate the porn as they love and hate themselves.

YEAH! I've always wanted to be called that! Having problems with Racism and Sexism is the most bigoted thing ever obviously.

I have reread this comment 4 times. How is it bigoted?

They really have, it's actually great. I used to be embarrassed to read cracked. Now I'm stoked they're doing so well.

Okey dokey. Considering every single comment you've made is trying to bait people and not trying to engage in any way I'm just gonna say sure, okay, whatever you say buddy.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WHITE MENNNNNZZ?

Yes, because it's a bullshit standard of the only voice we should take seriously is some middle class manly dude. Authority isn't linked to masculinity, we're just taught to think it does, which is why the most listened to and desired voice is your typical white man.

Another bullshit thing women have to do to be perceived as professional. Your natural face isn't good enough; put on makeup. Your natural hair isn't good enough; straighten it. Your natural height isn't tall enough; wear heels. Your natural voice isn't good enough; make it lower.

Hi! I'm a graduate student clinician in speech language pathology— maybe I can weigh in. (Currently, one of my clients is a transgender individual transitioning from male to female, so this was an interesting article for me to read.) People come to see an SLP when some aspect of their communicative functioning is

I worked in a sex toy shop for years. We were deliberately taught to bring our voices down at the end of a sentence . This was both in order to sound more authoritative and sure of ourselves, and to calm the customers. We were also trained to lean towards word choices like "yes," "correct," "exactly" and "that's

And yet, there is the every day world in which each of us negotiates a singular fate in one lifetime, and must make choices. In other words, a girl's gotta eat.

Great piece. Very nice comparison to the end between theoretical views and reality.
