He’s noticed it a lot, actually. He won’t watch House because he finds house very abusive to the people who work for him, and in particular, toward women.

I wish more people would raise feminist sons. A lot of families don’t think about it (even though they are and/or consider themselves feminist). They don’t think “how can I get these ideas/values into my children?” It’s mostly focused on girls — girls can do anything! girls can be whatever! But its’ rarely focused on…

This is going to sound simplistic, but I’ve found it really helpful with my nieces to give them The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker. Seriously. It gives specific examples and techniques and shows you how to develop and trust your own instincts in a situation. And having a book makes it easy to talk about with them…

this is so true.

General rule of thumb for dudes (coming from a dude):

I wish there were some way to prevent men doing this,

I love when women watch out for other women

Am I the only one who read everything after where Preston turns hostile with Terminator music playing in my head?

Facism? Are we talking about the same novel by Heinlein?

Okay, fine, you win. I’m not going to fight on this because you are set in your mindset and I am set in mine.

Starship Troopers is the adaptation the readers needed, not the one the readers wanted.

You said it yourself:

“I shouldn’t judge a whole region”

Don’t feed the troll. :)

Hey... At least you said it before I could. No, please, go right ahead and judge the whole of the South. Meanwhile, I will live in my small Southern town and sit around with all my progressive and gay friends frustrated by this very shit that makes moderate people decide that no, they hate those smug asshole liberals…

One of my family members posted something about standing outside the bathroom with a gun while his kids were using it BUT he was denouncing these laws! His point was that trans people are not predators and he’ll be there to protect his kids from the real predators. He even actually said “trans people are just people.”…

What this really opens the door to is a bunch of whining and backlash. My introduction into PC modding was basically “If you’re not OK with losing ALL your progress, uninstalling the game, reinstalling the game, reinstalling all your mods, and starting over completely, modding isn’t for you”.
