maybe it's just me who feels like they're reading a reinterpreted robert anton wilson quote that seems random as fuck every time she posts
sometime i get about maybe 25% of her posts pre music or video posts translated, and i still bs with most of the tonfoil heads from here still who were the most fun.
half the time it seems like a bowl of cheerios comprising her posts with a link to an old 90s popular tune.
if i'm missing something tell me, but christ i've had the misfortune of being on a loony ward.
i don't mean to discount maroon or whatever her name is but christ after all these years -w-

Feminism.

It's good, but I'd rather just call myself an egalitarian and be done with it.

though to be honest I fucking hate all this laurie penny 'mansplaining' shit, like portmanteaus ever solved anything.

And highly-charged independent-minded business women. Well done you widened the scope of people who can treat the rest of us as instruments to their own selfish ends. Simply allowing women to join the ranks of those who shit on the rest of us isnt a good thing. also not convinced that there are distinctly male/female things like Justice (male) vs. Care (female), sounds like bullshit to me.


but having said this, most feminists are not man-hating herridans who call women in dresses "hand-maidens' whilst wearing uncomfortable mantrousers. Its unfortunate that they end up getting all the attention, but what do you expect?

after interpreting it takes wild spins, unlike your posts which are glorious styled prose even the common man should appreciate.
that's my main issue.
if there is anyone on here who doesn't understand a sd5 post it must be due to english being their 5th language.

I'm beginning to think that this issue has to be busted apart in some ways...

Because I think a woman being shuffled aside at work because the manager likes to golf with other males...

Is a completely different issue than...

A girl obsessing about beauty products and dumb shit - because the guys are requiring it...

Is completely different than the varying stigmas applied to males vs females in say...

..getting caught consenting to drunken sex...

I wanna try asking my original question again.
Did anything substantial happen in the past month or two?

This started going off before that. If anything it's died down since that happened.

I was thinking about the post with the gamer trope vs the guy arguing against it...

and the detractors arguement doesn't make sense - it's a strawman arguement...

no one is saying that the male gamers as the subject of the game should "stop caring"
no one is saying that caring is bad.

the damage is done to female players - when they constantly and invariably see themselves in the powerless victem role.



feminism isn't always about men doing something wrong - sometimes it's about how women perceive themselves.

That's true. Women these days are too entitled.
