I thought it was a frown at first too, but then I noticed a) no other mouths, and b) the "mouth" looked like the old lady's eyebrows.

My pregnant wife came across an actual CL post in the wild offering the exact same thing yesterday and sent it to me, saying "WTF?!" She had genuinely never heard of people doing this. My unsurprised response kind of shocked her. The best part is she didn't immediately make the connection of why someone would do this (though the short description on the post claimed it could be used as a "prank").

I was confused at first. I think the point of this is to try to highlight how bad of an idea pushing for more conflict is by putting women in the forefront of who would go to war, presumably because many people are okay with war when it's men who do most of the dying but might change their opinion if women were equally at risk. I may be understanding it wrong but that's what I took from it.

My ex married the guy she cheated on me with. I found out from a mutual friend that they got into an argument where she scratched, beat, and otherwise attacked him until he called the police. When they showed up, she ran outside and exclaimed how thankful she was for them to arrive and started giving a sob story. He was in cuffs and almost in the backseat when they finally started listening to his cries. "LOOK AT ME! LOOK! I called you!" He was covered in scratches, blood, and Windex she'd douse…

TL;DR - my company fosters an environment of loyalty and trust through easily visible acts from the founder/CEO, so much so that I intend to stay here for decades if possible. I'm pretty much putting all my eggs in one basket at the moment. I work for a "small" B2B company that provides software and services to primarily manufacturing companies. I say "small" because while we are a small company, we work with huuuuge industrial clients, and some of our deals get close to the $1mil mark (not the …

It isn't, and will most likely be disapproved once someone brings it up as such. As far as I know, the only legal precedent for excluding a gender from a business are those "women only" gyms like Curves, and they had to fight for that.

See, I was just taught to do it for everyone. It's not a requirement obviously, but it's a nice gesture to anyone behind you - provided you don't get in their way. I hate when people do that, open the door for you and basically block the entrance so you have to squeeze past them just to get through.

My ex and I used to get into playful drunken slap fights, where we would start soft and slowly increase the power of each slap to see who would give up first. It got intense sometimes, but she always consented and it was always just a game. It got really annoying when people would step in only after she started to look visibly hurt. She'd slap me as hard as she could, but when I would do the same then somebody would try to break it up because I was supposedly "taking it too far". Women slapping …

My ex used to treat me like shit for hours after a dream where I cheated on her, which apparently happened a lot. Would take me ages to get her to admit why she was being a bitch. Irritated me to no end. My wife has had it happen a couple of times in the years we've known each other, and it's never amounted to more than a quick "You were a dick in my dream last night. I still love you, but damn." and then she's over it.

Ah, that disappoints me. I really liked the first two seasons of her show because they were mostly just jokes, not just "feminine" jokes. And she did a number of skits that challenged the gender dynamics in a way that was favourable to men instead of attacking/mocking them. Her stand up is very hit or miss for me, but I enjoyed the show. Haven't seen the third season yet.

Well, it seems like an interesting idea... which leads me to believe someone else has already done it. But I reckon you should go for it. My advice would be to use different names, but use the same picture. Create temporary email addresses (there are sites for that) so it doesn't get flagged. And use as close to the same text in each profile as possible. They need to be as similar to each other as you can get so that the results aren't skewed too much. Also, don't actually lead people on by resp…

Depending on what you mean by duels, this is legal in some states. Washington state allows you to approach or find a police officer, inform him that you and the other party wish to engage in fisticuffs, and the officer can agree to oversee you duke it out to settle whatever beef you may have. Seen a few videos about it, all legal and legit. Obviously doesn't include weapons though, so if you meant duel as in "pistols at dawn" then yeah no, that ain't gonna fly anywhere.

I would call that an integral part of a main character and foreshadowing/setting up the next movies, not filling a "plot hole". And what are you talking about looking up stuff that happened in between the movies? I'm talking about what was shown/hinted at in this movie. They could have been less vague about it, sure, but I thought it was enough.

Not addressing the rehashing aspect because that's been done to death, but regarding everything you said about Rey: I thought it was pretty clearly "hinted" at that she's had some prior training. Everything you dislike about her being a Mary-Sue can be explained simply by the fact that she has had some training and she's either been brainwashed into forgetting or she's repressed it. Which would explain her above-average prowess at fighting (though surviving a shitty planet from a young age seemi…

My assumption is that while online harassment in general is an equal problem for both genders, online sexist harassment is predominantly a women's issue based on what people are claiming. Whether it's true or not, that's how I see the conversation being framed.

I remember when I was a daycare teacher (the only male one there), there was a young boy who was very effeminate. The teachers advised me to not let him play with the girls toys because it wasn't "right". I could never get them to admit that they thought it was going to "turn him gay", but they consistently tried to veer him away from girls toys yet let the girls play with whatever they wanted. Hell, they even let some of the other boys play with girls toys, but they were usually just using them…

Oh they will. It's just other peoples grandkids that are going to continue the problems.

See, this is interesting; I didn't know that light blue was the de facto representative colour for supporting Prostate Cancer. If that was advertised/emphasised more, we could have a bit more room to argue with. The fact that NFL football teams sport the colour pink to promote breast cancer awareness and yet there is no such showing of support for prostate cancer is both sad and infuriating to me.

I mean, I can kind of see where they're coming from; breast cancer awareness is "inclusionary" in the sense that all you've got to do is wear some pink shit to raise awareness/support it, whereas the point of Movember is to grow a mustache so only people who can grow facial hair can participate. It takes me 3 months just to grow a thin beard, so I've never taken part in Movember before.

Nah, she was actually the person who started the whole #CancelColbert thing so it made sense they'd interview her. The mistake was thinking she'd actually have some sort of researched point to make, when in all actuality she was just blaming Stephen Colbert himself for the actions of a random employee who posted something out of context from an old episode.

Yeah, I'd much prefer it if was an all-female heist movie in the style of Oceans without relying on the franchise to sell it. But for me that's a gripe with movie trends in general, not gender politics.

I see it as they're specifically and intentionally just hiring women. Were the other oceans movies discriminatory just because they were all-male leads? No, the story just happened to be about that. Personally, my main gripe is that they're using the franchise to sell it. They should make an all-women heist film in the style of Oceans without using the name to market it.

I guess I don't see the problem? It's a spin off, not a gender-swapped remake. They're using the same trope of a heist movie, but instead of men they're using women. That's it. The movie could still be good or bad, but I don't think gender has anything to do with that. They already made two sequels to a remake, so any misgivings I have about this are related to the quality of the story. I'm actually kind of interested to see how they handle women playing roles that have been usually geared towar…

That's not how they nor anyone looking for a college to go to sees it, though. If you notice that one of your college options happens to have had a bunch of rapes occur and be in the media, then even though you and I know that they aren't actively "letting rapes happen", the person making the choice is probably going to want to choose the college with fewer/no rapes. And one could argue that high occurrence of rape = not doing enough to prevent it, which leads to being accused of "letting rapes …

It's illegal for teachers to sleep with students that are passed the age of consent because they spend so much time with them. There's too much risk of them "grooming" them from a young age to be comfortable with it, manipulating them by using their influence/authority to brainwash them (for lack of a better word).

I don't personally see it as being that complicated; you objectify people when you value their individual "parts" over them as a person. Calling a man or woman beautiful or handsome is not objectification because you could be/are probably taking the sum of all their parts (that you're able to) into consideration. Saying "that guy/girl has a really nice ass" is considered objectification because you're taking one part and raising it higher than the person. Basically, it's not about imagining that…

In that specific made-up scenario yes, it is explicitly stating that. I just meant that it was subtly inferring that only men can ever rape men.

I'm going purely by her stand-up and new show, where she kind of lampoons feminism a decent amount. Though that's hard to discern with the amount of sex jokes she makes.

I have family members bring me new sarongs every couple of years so I usually have a few in rotation to match different outfits. One of my groomsmen keeps seriously suggesting all of them wear sarongs to my wedding in August, which is odd to me because he's never worn one. I can't decide if it's a good or terrible idea.

These women see a man in an easily removable "skirt" and think it would be funny to remove it, simple as that. Obviously not all women do it, but the ones that do are just obnoxious idiots. The usual reaction is that I should be grateful for the attention or shouldn't be so prudish. I've even had the line "You were asking for it." thrown at me in some form or another. Basically, in their eyes I'm wearing "women's"/abnormal clothing and therefore have waived any normal rights to privacy because o…

Wear sarongs. Pretty much a toga you can wear in the 21st century. I love mine, though they get odd stares from bar patrons. Also they will get tugged on/pulled down by random women, which is a totally different gender-inequality discussion for another time.

I was a male daycare "teacher" for a year when I was about 20. I had a genuine complaint from more than one parent who stated that my voice was "too deep" and they didn't think it was right for the children to be around me. I absolutely had no idea how to respond. I was also not allowed to hug the children/let them hug me. I don't think any of the daycare workers were "officially" allowed to hug the children, but I was the only one who got tapped on the shoulder and told to stop. I don't even li…

Australia and/or NZ, too. It's awful that the law in some places still sees rape as a purely physical insertion of the phallus into an orifice. With all the effort being put into redefining rape of women (which they should in many cases), I don't see why some people are still so narrow minded when talking about rape of men.

Tragic! Tragic that these stories even make it to the news. Let's understand something here, if a woman forces a boy to have vaginal or anal intercourse with her where he is penetrating her - this is not and can not be called rape. For a boy or a man to penetrate anything with his penis he must be stimulated and be erect. Rape implies he is being forced to do something against his will which introduces stress and eliminates the boy's ability to maintain an erection. HE had sex with her.. HE love…

I totally agree with you, the poor kid looked like he was trying not to look like a wimp or wuss in front of his peers whilst also being wholly uncomfortable with the situation. All I was trying to say is that some people (radfems, whatever you want to call them) would use the smile as evidence of the "Guys love it so it's not rape/assault" argument. I do not feel that way at all, this was a horrible example of double standards.

As much as this bothers me, it stopped being a viable argument against double standards as soon as the boy started smiling. I'm not saying that makes it okay, but I know a lot of people who would disregard this solely on that.

I am in no way trying to say that his smile makes this okay, merely that some radfems would disregard it based on that.
