Well, I guess my question here is, why wouldn't you provide a jacket to your guy friend?

The only time I've snapped at someone for trying to open the door for me was when I was *already* opening the door. And they insists I give the already opened and held door to them, awkwardly go around them/under their arm that now has the door, so they can hold the door for me. No, just walk through the fucking door!

Yeah...where's the whole, "I open doors for men, too. People should open doors FOR EACH OTHER to be nice." That's how I operate. Am I weird?

I open doors for everybody so it's no big deal when someone does so for me, but when someone rushes ahead of me to make a big deal out of it, I'm mildly annoyed at most, but not enough to not say thank you or scowl at the guy. I'm just like "Who cares, dude? Chill out."

Yeah, there's that as well. Saying "it's OK I do the housework because I'm just better at it" without questioning why the man was never taught to sew, or whatever, isn't exactly groundbreaking stuff.

LATE CONTENDER

My my, isn't this exploitable...

This only justifies and further entrenches the outcomes of socialized gender differences that we've grown comfortable with. I don't think justifying traditionally gendered actions does anything to clarify what feminism is and is not. FAIL.

One of the first things I told my husband when we moved in together is that I do not iron. Do not do not do not.

Whenever I do not iron, it is not because I am rebelling against traditional gender roles, it is because I REALLY FUCKING HATE IRONING.

Yeah. All of them seem to be directed at women. Even the guy's cards are about just because he doesn't agree with you doesn't mean it is because you are a woman, when he takes you out calm down it's not because he thinks he owns you, and in general saying women are defensive or overly sensitive.

Yeah, I'm not really feeling it either. Mostly because...like, who is the audience for this? I am a feminist. My partner is a feminist. None of this stuff is anything either of us has ever had to articulate, because duh.

WHENEVER I AM THIRSTY YOU SHOULD GET ME WATER. FEMINISM DOES NOT MEAN I DO NOT GET THIRSTY.

Everything you say though is just feeding the need for attention, negative or positive.

The new system just displays the conversations differently if people respond to the comment it still rises up to the top. Only now it's even worse because it takes sooo much scrolling to reach the other comments once you display all replies. So in my opinion it actually made it worse.

And what happened to his goal of having his authors help curate the comments more? The whole system is predicated on what comments the authors deem worth looking at, but if they don't come and play....

This is exactly what I was thinking

I know. Thanks Kinja!

I just love that with NuKinja the ONLY comment up in "Highlights" is a troll...who is also the "Host" since the author hasn't engaged (yet?).

Don't feed 'em, folks!
