So I don't want to interrupt all the short hair is attractive conversation, but the point was that it doesn't matter what anyone, including you, thinks is attractive. "This person is wrong because actually that's hot" is not a rebuttal, that person is just wrong, period, because no one is obligated to appear or present the way you or anyone else deems 'hot'.
Ok, soapbox over, you can go back to posting pics of cute haircuts.

Oh yeah, I thought that went without saying. The original asshole who posted the comparison has zero right to say what women can and can't do with their hair.
Yup. That was my same point, essentially.
Because incels, by definition, aren't single by choice. "Incel" is short for "involuntary celibate." As in, they're not choosing to be single but blaming everyone else for it.
Which says everything about their thinking. God forbid they try even a modicum of self-reflection to realize "Oh, I might be the problem here."
They can only be called an "incel" if they're coming from the reasoning that they deserve/are owed having someone get into their pants, otherwise they're just "unfuckable."

I understand their claim but I don’t believe their claim is correct. Like I said everyone of them voluntarily became the weird off putting creatures they are.
Michigan outlaws the 'gay and trans panic defense' in criminal trials
The law prohibits using a victim’s sexuality or gender identity as justification for criminal action.
Good.

Anywhere that still has those laws must logically allow the opposite argument.
"I'm sorry, officer! I was chatting with him at the bar and he mentioned his girlfriend and since 99% off all mass shootings have been perpetrated by straight people, I feared for my life! I panicked and felt I had to kill him!"

Texas DPS enacts policy refusing court-ordered gender marker changes, will create database of marker change requests
"According to a Texas Department of Public Safety internal email, a copy of which was sent to Dallas Voice through a local attorney, DPS has — unilaterally and without any public notice — decided to stop amending gender markers on Texas driver licenses and state ID cards.
"The email also indicates that the DPS will create a database of all individuals who request to have the gender marker on their license or ID changed."

Probably not what people expect this thread to be about, but it is still an issue of gender, and so it gets posted here.
When I saw it last week I had to go find some corroborating stories, because I couldn't believe it wasn't satire.

It's definitely the type of thing I was thinking about when I made the thread.
Wait? PatrThom and I agree about our interpretation of something ambiguous? Truly the end of days is upon us.

Schools in the South Western School District of Pennsylvania are adding windows into the restrooms.
"Parents are left feeling 'uncomfortable' after a Central PA school board decided to make some alterations to a middle school bathroom. In August, the South Western School Board approved an $8,700 project to 'increase oversight of wash area and enhance stall privacy.' However, photos of that construction project have circulated the internet, leaving some parents and students 'uncomfortable' and 'horrified'. "
How the hell does this "enhance stall privacy"?
Why do they feel the need to spy on students using the bathroom? Because this is a gender inclusive bathroom, and conservatives obsessed with the genitals of teens want to spy on transgender students.

School district boards up ‘surveillance windows’ it put in gender-neutral bathrooms
"A Pennsylvania school district has reversed course and boarded up window openings it recently installed that allowed people in a middle school hallway to peer into two gender-neutral-designated bathrooms, the superintendent said Friday.
"The two windows were installed in recent weeks following a vote in August of the South Western School District’s conservative-majority school board, a move the board president said was designed to monitor and prevent misbehavior. Such openings weren’t installed in any of the school’s non-gender-neutral bathrooms."
....
"the Evening Sun reported that the windows were installed based on guidance from a right-wing, anti-LGBTQ+ law firm. At its August meeting, the school board said it had approved the bathroom 'openings' to 'comply with guidance from the Independence Law Center.' "
