How many people have legible signatures anyway? Most people I know have a capital of their first and last name and an unreadable line for the rest of the letters.

You're being silly with the argument of different programs - they can "draw" out anything they put on paper on a basic paint program. If they want to create perfect graphs, then they might need Excel. But if you want to create perfect graphs on paper, you need a ruler. It's far more limiting to draw on a piece of…

Bringing up other cultures is really, really relevant here. Changing how one country teaches one language to be written will not change the world. It's so America-centric here.

When we had money, my mom had two trees - one was tastefully decorated in glass and silver ornaments, white lights, and a graceful angel on top. The other was sparkling (always the sparkling setting) multicolored lights, every reject and colorful ornaments, and my sister and I decorated it ourselves so there were very…

Or he pays a lot of money to someone to do a lot to it, realistically. I bet if you went to a celebrity-caliber hairdresser regularly your hair could look like his.

I hope she's gotten over Santa not being real by the time she hits her teenage years.

I'm not exactly talking about people personally making jokes, I'm more talking about culturally. I've been binge-watching Parks and Rec and they had an entire episode based on dicks being sent to people, which was obviously chock full of dick jokes. Then you have shows like How I Met Your Mother where the architect…

You're one of the people from the article that's strong influenced by advertising but insist you're making your own free choice based on some kind of hard-wired interests.

It's really funny how you refuse to read the article that exactly refutes your idea - the whole point of the article is tracing gender lines throughout the industry, and noting how it wasn't separated at all by gender until the late 80s/early 90s.

I think you're thinking of marketing as too unsubtle. The vast majority of the time, unless you're actively looking for it, you wouldn't see many commercials and think "I feel alienated and I don't think this company wants me playing their games." However, you would note without even thinking about it the gender of…

I see it this way - yes, in a world where all body parts are viewed equally you would see a vulva as just as pretty or unpretty as every other body part, and would judge your own based on your own standards of prettiness. But we live in a world where dick jokes are rampant while vagina jokes are comparatively hidden,…

being with someone that I dont NEED means I value them MORE

I intentionally responded to a comment downthread instead of the top one to keep it from being bumped to the blacks because it's really unproductive, but it got bumped anyway. :(

Since when have men been the ones to be accused of being petty? That's not a thing. I said your idea was fucked up - the idea of someone having to have no desires outside of their partner is fucked up and creates an unhealthy, codependent relationship.

You are claiming that he is right. His comment is his justification as to why he hates women. Therefore, you are claiming his justification is right.

I think the biggest difference is "restriction from everything but X" and "restriction from X", which is the difference between men and women. Women are traditionally restricted to femininity, while men are traditionally restricted to everything except for femininity. Things that aren't pink or purple are boy things,…

No one should really be defining either gender, man or woman. The only purpose of that is to have an "in" group and an "out" group.

I would like to know why your logic dictates that women hurt you, therefore you hate all women. I'm a straight women - the only people that have hurt me romantically are all men. By your logic, I should hate you on principle based on being rejected by man after man. But you're ~different~, I'm sure, and I should look…

'batin 'batin 'batin. The 'bator was 'batin.

To be fair, they did interview a man who they said was a model for one of them, so there are at least a few scattered in the actual exhibit I'm sure.
