    Poll: Homosexuality

    Well, then it's a good thing that everyone out there lives to please you, right? Oh wait, we don't? What does "Acting gay" mean according to you? Kissing? Holding hands with other men/women? Being flamboyant? Wearing pink, for the men? Wearing short hair for the women? I said, I understand...

    Poll: Homosexuality

    Fine. You can be straight. Just nowhere near me. That is my take. I know you think you don't sound bigoted when you say things like this or: "I wouldn't want my kid to be gay", "I don't want to get hit on my dudes." But, you do. (Yes, I am aware PDA can be off-putting, but in our...

    An Apology or Revenge?

    It would depend, of course. If someone does something that results in hurt feelings and nothing else, then an apology would suffice. But, hypothetically speaking, if someone, on the other hand, figured it would be a good idea to fuck with me in such a way that it would have terrible...

    Poll: Smoking

    Do you smoke? What do you prefer to smoke? Yes. Either Malboro Reds or Parliament Lights. Why do you smoke/why did you start? For the same reason I've started doing everything else in my life: Why the fuck not? How much do you smoke? Cigarettes per day (packs per day if relevant) At...

    Same-sex Relationships Mass Effect 3

    No, it means you are that dense. What he means is that the Asari are a monogendered species because there are only female Asari. If what you are arguing is sexual orientation, then Asari would all be considered pansexual. A pansexual, monogendered species. Get it now?

    Poll: If female characters were given an advantage....

    Would you guys still call it 'propaganda' if it were the other way around? Would it still be pandering to the male demographic if it were the male characters who had an advantage? I really do wonder. As to the OP, honestly, it doesn't sound fun. Everyone would play as female because it'd be...

    Teen Arrested for Home-Made "Hot or Not" List on Facebook

    ...And I am saying they can't? Where did I say that we are angels who never do anything wrong? Oh, that's right, every time someone calls a man a sexist idiot every other man takes it as a fucking offense that means ALL men are idiots! Chill the fuck out, dude. I'm not going to justify...

    Teen Arrested for Home-Made "Hot or Not" List on Facebook

    And I've been harrassed by men for similar reasons these girls will be harrassed and their treatment of me was received with the same dismissal of 'boys will be boys'. But it is being dismissed - it's a thing boy's dude, it's no big deal, right? That's dismissal. No, hypotheticals serve only...

    Teen Arrested for Home-Made "Hot or Not" List on Facebook

    OIC. Well, I've never seen that. I have seen it, however, tossed at women because they were just being rude/distant/there with the intention of implying that they had lots of sex. But I wasn't arguing about potential punishment. I'm doing so about the dismissal this is getting. (C'mon, I...

    Teen Arrested for Home-Made "Hot or Not" List on Facebook

    So then do tell me, in which ways is the word slut used if not to condemn promiscuos behavior? I never said it was a crime. I never said he deserved to be arrested. What I've been arguing all along is not whether or not he should be arrested. (As stated previously, I am not American I do not...

    Teen Arrested for Home-Made "Hot or Not" List on Facebook

    What? Of course they are not all literal. But, unlike those words, 'slut' has no other definition besides that of a 'promiscuos woman.' (Definition of SLUT - Merriam-Webster 1 chiefly British : a slovenly woman 2 a : a promiscuous woman; especially : prostitute b : a saucy girl : minx)...

    Teen Arrested for Home-Made "Hot or Not" List on Facebook

    But the word 'slut' is used to oppress women to feel shame for their sexuality. Calling women 'slut's lead to slut-shaming which is what fuels rape culture in society. There are different types of oppression besides banning people from doing something you know? Shaming and humilliation are a...

    Except it isn't. Though thank you for trivializing it. The problem with what he said is not that it hurt someone's feelings. The problem is that just deeming a girl a 'slut' will damage her reputation, can open up the road for her to be assaulted or harrassed. See, the word 'slut' shames women -...

    societal conventions you hate

    Yeah, but see, that's not the point of chivalry. At all. If you are only being kind and polite to women because you want to be praised or recognized then you are doing chivalry wrong. But dude, chances are, at some point, some girl, lady or woman will tell you when you hold the door for her...

    Teen Arrested for Home-Made "Hot or Not" List on Facebook

    Can't argue that. (Mostly 'cause I don't know your laws.) Not, not entirely. I'm not saying you are not ~allowed~ to call other names. That'd make me a rather big hypocrite as I've been referring to the asshole with...well, the word asshole. What's wrong is not that someone is calling others...
