a home, food, a rewarding occupation, and hobbies that challenge our skills

Uh women want that too. So how is that not simple for women? Are they desiring some mysterious other? And the other, what is it?

All women want babies, obviously. And men never do! Your feminist indoctrination has blinded you to this universal biological truth.

Bagelsan – ROFL “house pets” love it!

Oy, rotten weather part the twenty third: after being told it’d rain yesterday and nothing, then told 25C today, it is POURING this morning, we’re right under a thunderstorm. Heavy enough that I’m borrowing Mum’s trench coat … and I just know the damn weather will fine up this afternoon and I’ll be lugging it home, along with the umbrella.

See, the problem here is the assumption that pets are stupid. They’re certainly smarter than MRAs think women are (even the really stupid spaniel that my Mom’s friends had that would always run right into the sliding glass door, every damn day, because apparently learning wasn’t one of his strong points).

That means my rabbit is smarter than a spaniel 😉 It comes in and out the catflap, and I (used to) catch her by locking the catflap. This worked 4 times. One night I could hear her running in and out the catflap over and over – the next morning the flap was out on the porch, in two pieces! this kind of thing is how she earned her name 🙂

Thenatfantastic, two winters ago where I live (not Alaska) we had snow on the ground from October to May. We even had a snow storm April 1st. So four months would have been a nice break!

Alex, that’s my worst nightmare! I’ve got Reynaud’s (basically really poor circulation, I have to use gloves just to get things out of the freezer or my hands HURT), so I’m glad I’ve moved to the South coast.

Do you get the thing where if your hands remain cold for too long you can actually see the color drain out of them, so they look like corpse hands? And then it comes back when they warm up? The color coming back is a really freaky thing to watch.

Cassandra: That is a symptom of Reynaud’s (Yes, I have it too, it’s part of the common suite of presentations for my disability).

Yep, I know. That’s how I figured out that I have it. Not as bad as it could be I guess – don’t need gloves to take things out of the freezer, I just can’t hold them for long. It’s when the ambient temperature gets low that I’m really unhappy.

Oh lord, Sussex is terrible for flooding, yep sandbags and a pair of waders!

I’m in West Sussex. Garden’s a mudbath right now, but nothing worse – at least so far.

It was my birthday yesterday. And I got a new job last week. Just felt like saying that.

I have to question the intelligence of anyone who thinks that a group of people can be both dumb as bricks and brilliant manipulators

Yeah that`s one of my favorite bits about the MRM way of thinking: feminists are stupid, childish and no one takes them seriously, but feminists have somehow taken complete control of our schools, economy and government.

And of course they reflect it with their notion that men are all intellectual giants, invented everything, are totally rational all the time, can out-think and out-argue any woman … and at the same time are totally controlled by getting an erection, or even the possibility of one; are simple creatures who want nothing but sandwiches, sex and to have their poor egos propped up, and who are so feeble with language that it’s only natural for them to resort to violence when those horrible women use words at them.

It’s a wonder MRAs’ brains don’t melt and trickle out of their ears, I swear.

Happy Birthday, and congrats on the new gig, 2-D Man!

Cassandra: Ah. I’m sorry if I was being ‘splainy. I don’t have the gloves to use the freezer, but I have to bundle my hand if the weather is cold, and gloves tend to exacerbate the problem.

So very good (read expensive) gloves, or those mittens with the fingerless gloves inside. The one’s you can pull open.

I don’t normally pimp my work on here, but I swear this is relevant: I have a piece in the upcoming comics anthology The Big Feminist But. Read my story, “My Horrible Heroines,” in the preview and feel the misandry wash over you!

Come to think of it, I probably should’ve posted on here when I had a comic in the anthology Kitties.
