... or it could just be that unwashed asses smell like, well, ass....

I know everyone seems to think their own **** doesn't stink, but alas that isn't true either.

Seriously, has anybody ever gone camping and gotten that much blood on their clothes?  Plus most of her stuff is leather anyway.

There's that little pond to swim in, but I'm not wanting to find out what that place really smells like say...first hour back from wiping out the deep roads.

I'm thinking there's a lack of fabric softener and gentle cycle.

I don't even see a decent wash line.

Ouch!  That blue text on black really kills my eyes!  Can't you use something a bit easier to read...like hot pink?

Funnily enough, I DID use hot pink a few times. But it didnt save it, the text just stays black or grey or white or whatever the standard is.  These forums are sexist. They don´t allow men to write in pink, because it is generally considered to be a color only women like.

I demand to change this!



EDIT: AND AGAIN! I COLORED MY TEXT PINK! AND IT NEVER ALLOWS IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Women and men both get mad at me when I say that if a woman has a right to abort a child, a male should have the right to waive paying support since they get no vote otherwise.

your stance has my approval.

addition: i really didnt find that line funny. nor do i think it's offensive.

Oh well. The abundance of blood coating my Warden's attire made him even more alluring to Morrigan. That is, before we banged on and on about love, then she became unsure, and decided it would be fun to withhold sex. Women <_<

Long overdue.

Women and men both get mad at me when I say that if a woman has a right to abort a child, a male should have the right to waive paying support since they get no vote otherwise.

But I'm a radical.   I sorta take equal rights seriously to the point where I make folks mad.

I have equally pissed off men and women.  I'm so proud.

Yeah this is definitely off topic, but thank you.  I always ****** off my friends when I bring that up--after the initial act, men have no choice to waive their responsibility, whereas women do.  Not that I think women should lose that in any way,  I just find it terrifying.

There was a case a few years ago (can't find it) where two doctors fooled around consistently, never having intercourse.  I'll spare the details, but a few years later the female doctor files child support on the male doctor.  Judge chastised him for saying that this was his worst nightmare, and made him pay child support.

Sorry, the whole cop seduction thing was my poor attempt at a joke. The Australian accent thing is very true. Assuming you're in the States (Never been there, will go soon.

I joke (badly), naturally. Yeah, if I were a cop, I'd be happy if people didn't act like dicks whenever I decided to hand out a ticket, so it's to be expected. Even so, it's nice to know that the police can treat someone with a decent attitude with civility/politeness where you are.

Lol, cops in Abu Dhabi (north of where I live) released this ad recently, to give the force an approachable image... hilarous XD

Most Americans can't do a Boston Massachusetts accent either.  Other than actors that grew up there like Mark Wahlberg  and Matt Damon..."The Departed" was a train wreck. 

It is funny about the accent thing.  I do tend to slip into accents just for fun.  Southern accent is disarming if I do "southern belle" and not "Welcome to Deliverance."

That video is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

Feminism sucks. It forces women to do man´s jobs, to wear man´s clothes, to be like men.... It forbids them to decide how to live their lifes. Mind you, I think women shold be ALLOWED to dress like men or do the same jobs and all... But feminism FORCES them into it. Therefore, it is a form of really heavy sexism itself.

NO, that is NOT feminism. Feminism demands equal rights for men and women, it does NOT force women to do anything. It is only the extremists, who by the way give feminists a bad name and REALLY ****** me off, who think it is wrong for a woman to stay at home if she likes. These people are called MORONS, not feminists. If it weren't for feminism where would we be now? FORCED to sit at home sewing, FORCED to hand over all our possessions to our husbands if we divorced. Ahem. Etc.

Ouch!  That blue text on black really kills my eyes!  Can't you use something a bit easier to read...like hot pink?

Sorry, that's the way she said it... I didn't change anything. I'll try now though.

And that's the thing, equality has a price.  If you want it, you gotta also recognize when others don't have it and give it and fight for it.

I'd like to keep mine for me and my daughter, but I'd sorta like my son to not get entirely screwed over as well.

So if there's a march, I'll be out there.

Yeah, thought you might feel that way about the video. They show it at cinemas (was in Abu Dhabi last week), so that everybody knows that the Force is paying to delay their movie starting. Question, hypothetically, if someone were to enter the States with a Pakistani passport (taking the recent airport bomb event into account),do you think there'd be much suspicion in the airport? Are we even allowed to enter the US right now? not sure.

That is a very tricky one. I mean, if the woman accidentally gets pregnant then both parties are to blame for being careless, unless she's lied about being on the pill. The abortion part, though, is difficult. I do think it completly unfair that a guy has to pay maintenance for something he had no choice about keeping, but can you imagine how awful abortion is for some women? Some women are fine with it, others (morons) use it as a method of contraception, but if you are one of those women for who the idea is abhorrent, then it's going to be a pretty nasty decision to make between doing something you find immoral or just incredibly emotionally painful or raising a child with no support from anyone.

So... I couldn't say either point of view is ideal, but... I think the male having to pay maintenance is the better of two crap compromises.

Yeah, it's a very tricky one.  But since it's entirely legally up to the woman, then there has to be a legal choice for the male, who at this point...has none.

I'm a little annoyed that birth control options aren't covered by most insurance companies and certainly not ones that get federal funding...but that just means there's some more work to be done on that front as well.

Kids are tricky, get used to tough questions.

I get angry at women using children as entitled income sources.  To my mind, raising a child is a gift, and if you're not willing to do it on your own and with your whole heart, don't do it.   The law granted women an inalienable right, and with that comes the full weight of the responsibility as well.
 
The options aren't fun and you can always put a child up for adoption.  In the end I truly hope the law would result in more people thinking and fewer people taking advantage of sperm donors and trying to make them parents.

The kids deserve better.  The adults involved need to act like adults.

In other words - don't like it?  Use a condom or abstinence, I'm fine with it.  But don't use a kid to trap an expense account.

Yeah... I realised that a minute ago, but was hoping I'd get away with it 

I dont mind. After all, isnt it sexism to have different articles for man and woman?
We should use "it" for both genders, or someone will definitely whine about the English language:

*English is a sexist language! It uses a longer article for women than for men, therefore making it more effort to talk about women! This leads to the assumption that everyone able to speak English considers women to be a burden, what is clear, unveiled sexism!*

EDIT: WOOHOO! I got pink text! Things CAN change, guys, there is hope left!
Or, come to think of it, maybe not. It was only a quotation of an imaginary feminist after all.....

Well, I live in Orlando.  Everyone's welcome here.  It's assumed you're going to Disney and that's why we don't pay state taxes.

A counter-point-- if I, as a man, abhor the idea of my child being aborted, and wish to raise it on my own, I have no right to do that.  Again, as a man, I have no control over the course of my life.

This actually IS sexist, because the inherent basis of these two issues is that people see women as being more involved with child-rearing.  Because men aren't built to be stay at home moms --the thought-train goes-- we don't get a say.  That offends me.

[JAMiAM]

Before this thread gets locked down for being so off-topically derailed, I just thought I'd throw out a personal opinion. Feminist extremism of the type displayed by the OP is counter-productive, and ignores an indisputable advantage that women have over men. Namely, their own sexual nature. Men are much more likely to be ruled by their "dumb-sticks" than women are by their "honeypots" and almost all human social constructs within the last several millenia of recoverable history acknowledge this tacitly.



The questions that such self-labeled feminists should ask are:

"Does this result in a particular culture acknowledging this fact out of fear, or reverence?"

"Do women find gender-based advantages or disadvantages in the particular culture?"

"What difference can I make?"

"Change or stasis, what's in it for me?"

This is actually true.
At least in Germany, there are many unmarried or divorced fathers fighting for their rights atm. Even successfully, sometimes, what is giving me hope. But there is still a long way to go until this inequality between men and women is overcome.

Hmm, how does one accidently get pregnant?  I mean, barring the fact that even planned parenthood depends on an element of chance, if both parties are out of their clothes, doing the deal, then it's pretty much a given that, without protection, both are responsible.  My Child Support days are over, but initially they told me, if my daughter wanted to play the flute in school, it was my responsibility to make sure she could.  This despite the fact that we lived a few hundred miles apart, and I never got to see her.  I'd think that something like that should be on her mother.  I mean, I'm responsible for the support payments, which are supposed to go to support the child.  Aren't hobbies something that the mother could have dealt with?  For all that, it never came up.  Too bad, too, because I'd love to find somebody that can play the flute to mix in with my guitar stuff.

[Daramones]

To put it somewhat back on topic, I never thought Morrigan wore ANY underpants. She just struck me as the sort that liked the comfort of an unfurnished basement.

As to offended. I played a woman and I am one. Wasn't offended, I pick THAT line everytime because it cracks me up.

if you want to get down to the nuts and bolts of it, the embryo is a genetically separate and unique entity. it is not part of the woman's body. it is more like a parasite in the woman's body. in fact, a lot of the hormonal changes from pregnancy are a result of the woman's body making sure that her immune system doesnt kill it and expel it as an intruder. the whole "it's my body" thing is a complete fallacy.

We should use "it" for both genders, or someone will definitely whine about the English language:

Strange you should say that... I have often wished their were a neutral pronoun, although for the purposes of grammar rather than feminism. Having to use 'they' as a singular pronmoun if you don't know the sex of the audience or the person you are speaking about just ruins the grammar of a sentence completely, whereas using 'he/she' is just unwieldy, and straight 'he' sounds sexist.

So I have often wished I could invent a new word that covers both men and women. Problem solved.

If this post doesn't make much sense I apologise. It's a torrent of thought just chucked onto the screen, and it makes sense to me but that's because I'm the one thinking it. Anyway...

Because of the kind of person I am... when I'm addressing men and woman I say people. When I leave the office for the day I say, "Have a good weekened people!"

It offends me too.  And I've raised two kids without asking for alimony or child support.  I don't think that you can raise a child grudgingly.  Not well, anyway.

In the film "Parenthood" Steve Martin's character ends up saying "Women have choices and men have responsibilties." and that's absolutely true in this legal climate.  I think lots of men are angry and I agree.

If a woman has a complete unquestioned legal right to choose to bring a child into the world or choose not to do so, a male needs rights of their own.  In this case, if not biological, then legal and financial.  I'm truly hoping it becomes law some day.
