Maybe I should stop paying so much attention to it, then I wouldn't have that feeling... But I feel like it's NON-STOP.
ALL the fucking time. "Men are trash, men are trash, men are trash, men are trash, men are trash; men are simple, men are dumb, men have no feelings, men have no soul. Boys too of course, they're just younger trash with no feelings."
WHEN does it fucking STOP? And it's always with those phony feminist/girlpower undertones.
How the FUCK does this further equality? How does this contribute to making boys and men better, more loving people? How is this in the name of love and harmony?
If anything, this will make men either spineless without self esteem, or resentful of women and "equality".
No one really seems to care about doing what is good, or about freeing the following generations from the sentiments they purport to want to abolish.
It's just about revenge and narcissistic indulgence, which does nothing but continue the cycle, with the pendulum swayed to the other extreme.
I hate it.
I'm from the West in Norway, and we have a dialect that is hard for foreigners to understand if Norwegian is new to them, and we have one local artist who have some pretty grafic texts but with a nice melody, and they love it. I don't know why this is so funny to me, I am a 20-something mom and should be an adult, but yeah, no. Song I usually put on: Bjørn Hellfuck - Snev av Anus
So I was reading the post on here about a gym requiring women to wear longer shorts when they were getting more complaints about inappropriate staring from men, and I was struck by a bit of a shower thought -rant. Come along with me:
You often hear 'why was she such a bitch, I'm so obviously a nice guy', 'Not All Men', and guys assuming there's a set of clearly inappropriate behavior that we simply refuse to define.
But when businesses, schools, or other organizations are requested to try and Find The Perverts (e.g., this gym needing to stop inappropriate behavior), everyone is suddenly at a loss to figure out how's it's soooo obvious. And then worse, THEY GIVE UP AND THROW IT BACK ON WOMEN AGAIN. With dress codes and curfews and victim-blaming bullshit.
Granted, there are 100 ways to be inappropriate that are definitely ambiguous from a distance, but like... LISTEN to women when we say there's a problem. In this case, that gym needs to develop a reporting/suspension system.
3 reports? Temporary suspension. 1-2 more reports? Permanent suspension. Boom, no more problem characters, and you'll get more women customers from word of mouth. And a larger population of women customers generally brings more men customers. $$$$
Tangential sidenote, I feel like there's a positive statistical correlation between assholes, perverts, and the mistreatment of gym equipment... more $$ saved /rant
Has anyone read this book by Nicholson Baker? It is hands-down one of the hottest books I have ever read. On top of that, it is intelligent, insightful, and written with beautiful prose. Literary erotica to the core.
It's about Arnold Strine, a 35 year old temp who has the power to freeze time. What does he do with his powers? He uses it to fondle women and enact his and their fantasies.
To anyone still reading, there is a moral center to the book. One of the themes is the line between titillation and transgression. And despite the books depth (and yes, there is depth I'm finding on a second read), it's never ponderous.
anyways, recommended for anyone looking for a good read that's complex, light, funny, and sexy.
I have watched Anohana, Clannad ( + CAS), Kanon, Chobits, and The World God Only Knows. I prefer anime that are something I can watch and cry. And laugh, I love to laugh :P. I have a hard time finding anime though, and I don't particularly like anything based on fighting or mecha or anything, simply because I haven't found one to grasp my attention well. Also, I don't usually start anime with 156723512 episodes to watch.
Thanks!
None of these were perverted in nature in normal conversation, I just have a mind that picks naughty phrases out of everyday conversation. If two are on the same line, they're a conversation between two or more people. If this gets enough upvotes, I got a lot more I can post... :)
Here's some of them:
"Your zipper is really loud."
"My no-no's just almost went bye-bye."
"I can hit all kinds of falsettos, you DON'T wanna go there."
"I love popping that one! It's so hard to get!"
"I don't scare babies." "I do in my free time."
"Bunny with cell phone BAD. NO BUNNY CELL PHONE."
"Ohhh that was such a perfect pee..."
"Hey Sam, I think Nathan wants you to eat this banana."
"The unified forces had intended to raid for booty, then retreat back into the desert."
"It's virgin territory and I have to get in!"
"Oh! Die and Mono! I get it now!"
"Down is not a good position for pants."
"Grunt so I know you hear me." "Mmmm..." "Ver good."
"He lives next to me." "Really? In a house?"
"Sometimes quality comes with length."
"Isn't it adorable?! Awww, you ate it...."
