My wife gets regularly screamed at on and around public transportation because she doesn’t respond to their catcalls and demands for attention. I don’t see how your story of terrible men minimizes that, or why you’re even mentioning it to distract from the issue at hand.
When never I’ve been hassled in my life, the context of power and control is absoutely different.
I have heard of your paintings too, well enough; God
has given you one face, and you make yourselves
another: you jig, you amble, and you lisp, and
nick-name God’s creatures, and make your wantonness
your ignorance.
How about you don’t make assertions that a 9 year old with google could debunk, too?
Yeah, I’m not criticising your motives, but people really take that whole ‘you weren’t there, man!’ thing too much for granted. If we have to actually experience another person’s situation in order to empathise with them, we’re screwed as a species. On the contrary, I believe that sometimes an outside perspective can be clarifying.
It’s been a long time since I was 9. Do 9 years old like getting their hands really really filthy?
That’s not a nine year old! That’s a Scot. They’re similar in many respects…
Also, I think you got mixed up between ‘debunk’ and ‘spelunk’ although in respect to the the subject in hand, I can see where the confusion originates.
Isn’t that from Trainspotting?
Somehow I thought that scene would be more iconic.
Fair enough. My perspective isn’t “outside” though. It’s practically typical.
It’s actually a documentary, and the events occur in real-time.
Except when, as they mentioned, the outside “opinion” won’t shut the fuck up and listen.
Your opinion is absolutely overrated and of limited value, and that you believe otherwise is part of the continued problem.
And yet here we are. People more interested in talking about themselves and telling women what to do versus stepping back empathizing and taking their needs into consideration.
It’s funny how frequently conversations about women end up pissing contests.
It starts by a group of dudes who feel like whipping their dicks out.
On what basis do you discern that?
And there are plenty of people slapping them down so I’m not too worried about that. I don’t believe that we should structure our dialogue around the worst participants.
If makeup is lying, then the honest among us can only wear hospital gowns. In fact, that might hide blemishes or irregularities - nudism for all!!!
I am personally no advocate for makeup, but I’m grown up enough to know that it’s none of my business.
Women who cake it on simply aren’t visually my type, but I certainly won’t be accusing or lecturing anybody about it.
That’s almost exactly what I’ve been trying to say. It’s not my job to play beauty pageant judge. If wearing a lot of makeup makes someone happy, that’s their prerogative. If someone wears makeup because that’s the only way they’ll be treated decently, that’s super fucked up, and I hope that it wouldn’t make a difference to me. If they wear “natural” makeup because people constantly tell them they “look tired” if they don’t I think said people should mind their own fucking business. Some people are tired all the time, and some people look tired all the time. It’s normal, as a species who has discovered electric lighting basically ALL OF US are sleep deprived anyway. Who gives a flying fuck if someone looks tired? More than likely whoever said “you look tired” looks tired too. So what’s the point anyway?
It’s a fucking personal choice! I wear threadbare ripped cheapo clothes, rarely shave, pop zits, and hock up lugis into the garbage can because I am able to get away with it, because I’m a male who works the night shift alone. If I worked the day shift and interacted with other humans face to face I’d dress and act differently as a sign of respect to the people who had to look at me. I wouldn’t wear makeup for my colleagues because that’s pointless as far as I can tell, but I’d dress better and police my snot rockets, and would only pop zits when nobody’s looking. So there’s that. It’s fucking stupid and misogynistic to expect more from women than what I’d expect from myself as a male.
On the basis that womens’ opinions on most things are generally deprioritized, minimized and spoken over upon enough, it’s not particularly difficult to find the male opinion on any particular internet topic.
It’s particularly difficult to keep guys from offering their opinions on what womens’ opinions are and should be.
