He said it wasn’t till the early 80’s they had to finally change the billboard in a nearby small town from ‘Nigger be out of this town by sundown’ to ‘Home of the head klansman’.

Ah, Martinsville.

Oh look! A thread about gender discrimination and attempts to fix it… what could possibly go wrong? I’ll just grab a drink and enjoy the wonderful and measured conversation!

If we had three consecutive years where 95% of corporate directors were women, and 94% of game authors were women and 92% of movies (worldwide!) passed the Bechdel test, would that somehow even things out? Would it take seven years? Fifty?

I don’t know. Let’s try it and see!

A thread like this would never generate a river of male tears. Right?

[Why, yes, I am in the mood to whack a piñata around. Why do you ask?]

[anon61221983]

NEVER! We should focus on the REAL issues, like the rights men are losing by treating women like people!

Also, will this do?

[IronEdithKidd]

I dunno…the hands look too big.

I only treat cats like people. And I treat people like cats. Now who wants a belly rub and some 'nip?

The others might be unfair, but this one wouldn’t.

Which is as it should be.
