The name "outnumbered" also implies that the one male is the perspective that the show is taking rather than the perspective of the women.

Well... no, I don't think so. Just because the man and the women will oppose each other doesn't mean the viewer is meant to sympathize with the man. It's not really worth arguing about this much though.

I actually meant Megyn Kelly but got confused

Ten dollars to donuts that they will all be blonde and wearing dresses Megyn Fox

This show is obviously a stupid idea, but I don't think the name really implies that to be honest. What it does imply is that the women will naturally side with one another and against the man, which is sort of weird.

I mean, the examples in your last paragraph seem less icky to me than getting off using a device that my parents gave me. But yeah I basically agree.

Fine, but would you have wanted it from your mom? No judgement if yes, but I think it would be an unusual opinion.

YOU MONSTER

that's some next-level troll judo

It's not like 3-year-olds are a historically oppressed minority or something. It's just a joke, and honestly it's not even really that hurtful. Sometimes people tell jokes for reasons besides the immediate advancement of some political cause. Relax.

I respect most of this opinion, but "not being ok with mass DNA testing = rape culture" is just a failure of imagination. Do you think this would be somehow not controversial if the crime were serial murder?

"because it's infringing the rights of 500+ males in a school". Of course the worry is about the precedent set…

Well, you would presumably investigate the positives using more conventional means after finding them.

Fair enough. But if you're just hooking up there's no need to help your partner learn, so faking is also less self-defeating.

Do you mean the Korean lady? I don't think that was a sex thing

Yeah, agreed.

Quite commonly when these asymmetrical-power-dynamic arguments get made, and actually in some places on this board, people seem to conclude that it's ok to be a jerk to members of privileged groups, which I find odd.

Like if I go around the city throwing Coke cans at every white guy I pass, maybe that…

I think the idea of the Tumblr is that eating on the subway is rude. So the theme is "people of a certain gender doing rude stuff in public transit".

It is a bit weird that women are singled out - maybe the guy feels women do this disproportionately often? Or maybe it's a parody of the space-on-the-train Tumblr.

This website is definitely worse. But I do have to say it seems that the text of Lindy's article should pretty much apply to the men-on-the-train tumblr too.

Jeez, I hate to be all thought-police-y and I appreciate the point you're trying to make, but maybe a bit of discretion might be warranted here?

I'm not expecting to see a picture of a freshly-hanged corpse when I'm scrolling through comments, and more importantly one wonders whether that guy and his family would be…

As proof, he cites the results of the 2000 referendum that scrubbed rules against interracial marriage from the Alabama Constitution. It passed—but only by 59 percent.

I mean the hypothetical "you" in your previous post would be wrong - thinking the joke were about feminist activism generally would be a misinterpretation
