Yes, the sexism in metal is unfortunate. I’ve always coped by separating the music from the asshole fans. Luckily not all musicians are sexist jerks. Kurt Cobain (although not a “metal” guy) was famous for his feminist views —something I wished I’d known when his band was around, it would’ve made me a bigger fan.

And now for no reason whatsoever, are some Shakespearean insults perfectly suited for the Orange Menace:

This is slightly off topic but Sam Dunn made a bunch of really good metal documentaries, I think the first was Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey. Also, really liked the mockumentary Fubar, about 2 Canadian metal heads.

Now playing

I think NIN’s “I’m Afraid of Americans” is a more appropriate song for how things are going on in America right now:

I’m Asian and I once had a white co-worker come up to me with a piece of paper with some Chinese writing on it.

Male feminist = woke bae

Bustle does a pretty good job of explaining it:

We should give these sex-bots to all the “nice guys” out there.

Sometimes I’m really proud of how progressive my country (Canada) is, but then assholes like this guy remind me we still have a long way to go:

“He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don’t let that fool you. He really is an idiot.”

Personally I think “unlikeable” should always be spelled with an “e” after the k, otherwise my brain interprets it as“un-lick-able”.

This is slightly off topic but what happened to red squirrels? When I was a kid I used to see them all the time, now I only see black or grey ones. Chipmunks seem to have disappeared too.

It’s even harder to spell in French:

What is it about this guy’s face that just screams weasel? Do people “become their thoughts?” There’s a passage in Roald Dahl’s The Twits that goes like this:

For those Americans who want to cross into Canada illegally, you should get yourselves a “bonhomme de neige” (the Canadian equivalent of a “coyote”):

All my life.

Confession: I’m Canadian and I’ve never watched a hockey game. Also never been inside a Tim Horton’s. Am I Canadian-ing wrong?

Not only do I wash my legs, I put on those bath gloves, mix 1 tbsp of baking soda and 1 tbsp of soap, then scrub my legs as if Donald Trump had touched them! This prevents ingrown hairs and leaves my legs super smooth.

Anyone else think Zellwegger’s “English” accent is awful? I watch a LOT of TV from the UK, so I’m quite used to hearing those dialects. Not quite sure what part of England Zellwegger is supposed to be from — Mumbleshire-Upon-Avon?

NOPE, sorry. Why should old people get a pass just b/c they’re old? Words like computer, e-mail, iPhone didn’t exist when they were kids, but I’m sure everyone over the age of 70 uses these words. Old people are always the ones who complain about the “lack of respect” among the younger generation -- well I’m sorry but
