clinical and sounds like someone a) confused by/about women and b) might not know what to do with a woman if he got one . There's a reason Maya Angelou didn't call it Phenomenal Female.

Ah yes, one of those women who is somehow above systematic oppression. And the rest of us are just whining and ready to snap at anyone with a penis for existing.

Oh god, you're one of those.

It's a tone thing, like picking up sarcasm. While male and female in their singular aren't so bad, when referring to groups of men and women, using the terms males and females is awkward in tone as those words don't include the connotations of humanity or personhood. This guy saying that he has sent messages to…

I never could articulate what I found off about it. I knew someone who referred to women as "female" and I always thought it was odd. Maybe not derogatory, I could tell at least with this person it was like a subconscious attempt to sound sophisticated. Part of why I found it weird was probably because I've never…

Males/Females instead of Men/Women...Yep. It's classic MRA speech.

I think it has to do with the kind of guys who regularly refer to "females" as though they are some foreign species, monolith in its behaviors and preferences. It's gotten to the point where if a guy calls you a female or says "females" you just know he's going to be one of THOSE guys. And he usually is.

"I guess nobody explained to Mufasa that when a hyena eats a baby lion, the hyena turns into grass, and then the antelopes eat the grass! It's the circle of life, Mufasa! Mufasa is maybe not the greatest grass scientist."

Slender Man?

Things your parents are allowed to tell you they forget how much they loved:

I have a visceral negative reaction to her persona because it's so obviously calculated to appeal to gloomy 14-year-olds with an unwavering belief that their prettiness is basically a Seal of Fate that has destined them for Beautiful yet Tragic things, and yet I keep seeing fully grown people fall for that shtick.…

she aint no amy winhouse. Definitely no Kurt Cobain

All the fuckability and poutiness and photo ops and nihilistic interview answers and arty 16mm videos in the world will never make this woman 1/100th as compelling as someone like Stevie Nicks on her worst day. Her ideal medium is album covers - it's the moving around and doing stuff bit that doesn't suit her.

I just don't understand her appeal. She strikes me as someone trying so hard to be tortured. I probably would have been really into her when I was 14 I guess...

I'd say the non-action is a way of not hitting and not screaming at the child but not having a response plan when they do get out of line. Unfortunately, when people decide not to use corporal discipline on their child there's a possibility that they don't then consider what to use in its place. I'm not advocating…

Also, my mom never hit us but she used to do this very effective, incredibly scary thing where she would grab our wrist and mumble in our ears to "stop it right now." Oh man, scariest thing in the world.

Well, la-di-fucking-da that you happen to be at another level of human that transcends all of the faults and missteps that us normal humans seems to be subject to. Pray tell, if you're so above us, why can't you figure out a way to not sound like such a nasty, cold, heartless bitch???? Oh, never mind-empathy. Get some.

I wonder how many times you'll still have to post those other links, oh how judgemental people become when articles about children and aprenting arrive. We should be finding ways to improve cars instead of pointing fingers here.

At least kids can change if they see enough proper behavior. Kids are notoriously selfish until it's educated out of them. They get a pass.
