You provided me a study that showed that girls are treated meaner because they are girls, which is not in dispute, as an assertion for something else.[DOUBLEPOST=1343421283][/DOUBLEPOST]
I strategically sculpted a hot dog, put it on a sleeping friend's lips, and took some blurry pictures. There's a good example of a good way to end up in jail if the recipient had been female.
Is it because the laws are too harsh on men who do that to women, or because the laws are not harsh enough on men who do that to men?
I provided examples that the use of gendered insults provide a vastly different experience for women than it does men. I don't have access to other EMPIRICAL research I've used because it is behind a paywall, but maybe I can find the abstract in a sociology database.
From a logical standpoint, I suppose, the latter.
That is all irrelevant to my assertion, which is (without any commentary on whether it's right or acceptable or not) that to a great many guys, and a majority of them online, "bitch" is an all-purpose go-to insult that doesn't have gender association in the mind of the user. Now, you can argue that how it is received by their targets differs along gender lines, and I won't disagree. And you can think I'm full of it all you like. It hardly places you in the minority around here, and you would be, of course, just as wrong as the rest of them.
Yes. Yes you are.
My friend passed out from drinking. In the middle of the night, I put his hand inside warm water and let mother nature take its course. Then I hid the water and let him deal with it.
this is a really dumb attitude to have
So you'd take a white guy's attitudes over a black guy's when it comes to race relations? Or a christian's over a muslim's on the topic of religious discrimination in America?[DOUBLEPOST=1343426762][/DOUBLEPOST]And weren't you one of the guys saying that a panel of celibate old white guys talking about reproductive rights of women was stupid?
Making laws about health concerns that they literally don't have is different than trying to explain privilege and gendered insults, etc etc
MY DEADBEAT SON!
I'll be honest I would not be cool with going to a female herpetologist.
Ahahaha you are awful at everythingI'll answer that question, Droll, if you answer me another one.
Why/how is it, that geek girls only seem to come in two varieties? The same is, up to a point, true for male geeks as well, but I find it much more pronounced in women. You have the ugly-fat-weat-stained-don't-want-to-go-near-with-a-ten-foot-pole type (who are usually awesome and very caring and fun), and you get the so-hot-it's-not-fair-they'-re-also-smart variety (who, in the case of those I know, when nerd, also turn out to be nice. Dammit! I do know why I always crush on geek girls, admittedly, it seems to be 90% of women who are smart, intelligent and hot at the same time are geeks)
Anyway, besides the entitlement and idiocy of the masses, I think there's also another thing atp lay here - mostly unconscious. Men (a lot of, but not all, women too) want/need a hobby where they can "be themselves". Be it football, coin collecting, D&D, a rock band, going to war or whatever - men have always had/gone and looked for hobbies where they're not under watch of their significant other and/or being judged by people of the other gender. I think a lot of male geeks feel threatened by women coming to their hobby. Female sports fans are often met with similar issues.
There are doctors that specialize only in herpes?
I'm guessing there are much different reasons you are/would get stared at by manchildren while you're walking around a convention. "Does she REALLY like this stuff?" may be a thought they're having, but it's probably pretty far down the list.
You know, I would have thought so too, but the CNN article and its subsequent responses made me sorta wonder.
