i haven't dated for a while, but, last i checked, insisting on splitting the bills was actually considered feminist - and girls that insisted that they didn't have to pay their way were seen as out of touch. i don't know. maybe i'm stuck in the 90s. but this strikes me as an elaborate straw man.

as a feminist, i would consider the premise that women should get free meals on dates to be backwards and patriarchal - and i'd consider dudes raging against the arrangement to be allies.

i don't know how or when expecting to be taken care of became a feminist position. frankly, i don't think it ever did. again: this is really a straw man.

it's the great irony: most mra's are really just male feminists, without realizing it. there's a few that are legit misogynists. but, most of them don't hate women, they hate patriarchy. they just can't realize it.

no feminist would make any of these arguments. these arguments are not feminist at all. what these arguments are is patriarchal.

you wouldn't even get your average third waver in the door on a ladies night like that. they'd be the first to stand up and argue that ladies night is beyond-the-pale sexist.

the woman in this video is not a feminist.

so, the way that youtube works nowadays is that people upload idiocy in order to try to trick the site into showing advertisements that advertisers don't want shown and that everybody wants blocked. then, when the site steps in on behalf of advertisers (and viewers...), the uploaders that are just manipulating the situation for a quick dollar cry censorship. that sounds like a very successful, very sustainable business model to me.

i never vomit. i think that was the first time since moving to windsor. legit.

i bought a coffee a few hours ago, and there was a leak at the corner. i was about to walk into a grocery store when i noticed. i didn't want to trail coffee around the store, so i chugged it on a pretty empty stomach.

i'm guessing that's what came up. otherwise, i caught a bug somewhere. hope not.

extra large size.

no adult in the world watches porn. well, ok, there's a few - but they aren't mentally adults. it should be renamed to adolescent entertainment. "adult entertainment" should be synonymous with adult contemporary.

porn is for kids...

it's the same thing with strip clubs. i haven't seen statistics. but, i wouldn't be surprised to find out that upwards of 90% of people at strip clubs are there due to somebody coming of age (or are underage) or somebody getting married.

i'd actually guess at least 75% of people that have attended a strip club in the last year have done so because of somebody's 18th or 19th birthday.

it's just a disgusting transaction, all around.

to crave this and keep coming back implies some kind of psychosis....

psychotic people exist. sure. in small percentages.

no, you fucking...

i don't want socialism because i care about other people. i want socialism because i don't care about other people. explicitly. precisely.

i'm not a fucking christian.

i've been over this too often. it drives me nuts. it's just that it warps the conversation. if you could peel back the layers of brainwashing, you'd realize you're probably more of a socialist than you realize.

well, unless you're an asshole. don't get me wrong: there's lots of assholes out there that are all about dominance and competition and hierarchy. but, it's a minority.

trying to find a way to separate socialism from christianity really needs to be the primary goal of the left, at this point. it's not about christian aid work. it's not about charity. it's about positive freedom.
