That made me laugh too. I immediately pictured a guy in a dress with a 'Me Gusta' face saying it.lithium.jelly said:
Sorry. Too much caffeine of late translates to sleep deprivation, so I'm not surprised if I sound a little incoherent.Saelune said:
Well, ok, misogyny and such may be "higher" but gender roles are worse if only because they are accepted as ok by society at large. If a man beats his wife, and gets caught, he is gonna get in trouble. Ofcourse, if a woman beats his husband, thats another story. One that breaks gender roles and is more liely to be disbelieved because of that.funguy2121 said:
Hmm, by your quote, it appears that only homo-phobes would dress in dresses to proclaim that "ugh, everyone is ghey but meh". Also, the guy wore makeup and a hat before, so its not like the guy hasn't contemplated gender issues in the past. By wearing a dress you could not proclaim "gays wear dresses", because you yourself were wearing one, but on the other side of the coin, by actually going through with it, you would likely have SOME desire to wear female clothes. Although modern studies have found that most cross dressers are straight. For example, Ru Paul, the fairly known drag-queen from the 60's, has a wife and kids, although I have heard (and i can't find anything to prove this on wiki or something) that Rupaul had his ... parts altered to be able pull off a more convincing chick. That being said, perhaps he is just REALLY good with duct tape or something, but as far as the rumor goes, he had modifications after he had created his family to be a bit more convincing female. But my point is that, regardless of what you wear, you aren't gay or straight. But you might have afflictions towards one type of garb or another.callmegreen said:
Oh, I'm not arguing. There's something about the American school system that continues to produce this bullshit. A decade and a half ago, I was victim to Texas' brand-new zero tolerance policy, so if I shoved a guy off me while he was wailing on me, and he didn't cop to hitting me (with bruises and broken skin clearly in place), I get suspension and he walks.Dags90 said:
Egregiousness vs prevalence due to social acceptance. Alright, that's pretty damned hard to argue with.Saelune said:
This. We really need to focus on things that matter. A boy in a dress does not matter. At all. I'm sorry your state is retarded, but then again, I live in California and we're dumb enough to pass Proposition 8. *shakes head* This country has so many issues...NameIsRobertPaulson said:
He may not have anything truly at stake here, but so what? As someone who wants equallity, I cant just fight for only myself. While Im more likey to care about my rights first, would it only help if I were to say march for black rights too, despite not being black? Sure I doubt he truly has equallity at large on his mind, but if something good comes from it, then is that so bad?funguy2121 said:

My brother's soon to be ex-wife slightly scares me. I heard stories from him that she abused him, but I had NO idea how far it went. She is very TALL and a bit hefty, a broad girl, still atttractive mind you but in that I will kick your-arse sort of way, probably double my weight in girth. And my brother is a beanpole and very lean, so she has quite a bit more mass when it comes to a combat situation. That being said, my brother refused to offer an attack back any time she hit him due to old time chivelry. He just accepted the beatings knowing that if he did ANYTHING back, it would instantly be a domestic abuse charge, and he would be the one being hauled off, even though he was likely the one with the black eye defending himselffunguy2121 said:
Agreed.. However, there hasn't been a Men's Revolution yet. Woman had theirs. They can vote, and work, and wear pants now, and don't have to wear bras, which the later is fine by me. And yes, woman needed rights, don't get me wrong! But the economy took a flip since then. Double the amount of people in the workforce changed the value of the dollar overnight. Now men could no longer provide for their families, as they couldn't be paid as much as they use to, as now there was more supply for job placements than there had ever been. It was at this point, that the double income family started to take shape. If you wanted to not be poor, or barely scrapping by in middle class, both your parents now had to work full time jobs to make ends meet. Thus the downfall of society began, because as time went on, the latch-key kids generation was formed, and many kids grew up without a father or mother figure around when they needed them. If you look at nostalgia, you will find alot of people feel like the 50's was the pinicle of American home life, that all changed as the world changed. But back to the topic of girls in pants, they aren't as sexah as girls in dresses imo, but then again, I kind of prefer my girls to be girly instead of tom boyey, although I have dated many like that. But until men in the USA revolt against it, dresses are going to be taboo. Girls can dress like guys, but OMG .. if a guy dresses like a girl, society crumbles.ThisIsSnake said:
