2nd Newsflash - you can discuss something about women alone without referencing the male experience.

There is no comparison between female genital cutting and male circumcision. None at all. And anyone who would even try to make that comparison is an idiot who knows nothing about either.

YES! i knew it would be a matter of seconds before we started talking about how this issue affects MEN.

There's a poster on this site who I refuse to treat with because he told me my PhD thesis is bullshit because it contradicts something he thinks his wife learned in medical school years ago.

Wait, since Jay is a boy, why is he allowed in an all female school? Can't have your cake and eat it too. I understand that not all will agree with my binary assignment of school enrollment, but this is a valid opinion. The thing is, you can be outraged (!) all you want, but people are not necessarily being…

"It is a function more of the way individuals experience somatic complaints than patriarchy or socialization."

While I think the factors you emphasize are certainly in play in a large way, I think you've underemphasized the process of actually constructing the drug. You've assumed that drug studies take into account the way women's vs. men's bodies can react to drugs, but I wouldn't necessarily make that assumption. Rather, I…

Do you have kids? I'm just wondering — I don't, but this doesn't strike me as an inability to say no and I'm curious if you are speaking from a certain experience. Isn't part of the point of saying 'no' that you can say 'yes' to reasonable requests? And isn't part of being human and having a life that sometimes you…

Well for me personally, I've just yet to experience that attraction. If it happens, awesome! But for now I can only say I have not.

You don't see a difference between not wanting to have sex with someone, versus hating them/thinking they're freaks/refusing to associate with them/using insulting language/committing violence against them?

I got linked here from Jezebel. I meant to go to Gawker and comment there, but opened the wrong site so I didn't hesitate to comment here because I didn't think having an unpopular opinion here would be some scandal. I am not doing ill upon trans women. Holding my own fucking opinion is not a form of oppression. You…

Men. I'm fucking sick of their shit.

Right? Do we see women being arrested for watching men pee or take a shit?? NO??? Are we watching them try on bathing suits? Taking upshort or upshirt pictures of them? Have you heard of ONE CASE of this shit happening ever? Anywhere? NOPE! I get so pissed when I think about it.

And I don't have to. People are allowed to have dissenting opinions. I don't wish ill on trans women, they can live their lives however they see fit. However, I think its rather silly to imply that a man who modifies his body to look like a woman is indeed a "real" woman. First of all, the definition of "real" is…

No, I just meant that I'm not going to be the person stopping a trans person from using whatever label to describe themselves (a la Pierce Morgan). Thats not to say that men look at other men who have modified their bodies to look like women as "real women". Its a fair point to make, because it explains the whole…

is there an orientation for people who arent attracted to trans people other than transphobic?

Oh, you mean the article where a bunch of rapists who HAD been found responsible were outed when they suffered less punishment than a jock who plagiarized paper? The obsession you MRAs have with making sure rapists get to rape freely is beyond creepy.

if gender is a social construct then why do we insist on surgically adopting gender stereotypes to fit said construct?

If they're having sex, they know where babies come from. Boys talk. After all, boys will be boys, and girls.......why weren't the boys punished too?

Ugh... stories like this hit me right in the feels. I wonder how many of those firstborn females to Asian parents (Korean dad here) were still treated like crap. Especially if there were sons that followed, as was in my case.
