I haven’t had the patience to go through the discussions that developed in the wake of the Men’s Rights Subreddit’s historic winning of the prestigious King Dick of Fart Mountain Subreddit of the Day award yesterday. But I did read enough to come across this little exchange, in which a heroic Men’s Rightser confessed how touched he was that someone outside the Men’s Rights subreddit had noticed the bold, brave activism of Reddit MRAs.
And then someone pointed out some other things he’s said a couple of days ago.
NWOslave, is that you?
Actually, I doubt it; NWOslave has an account under his own name there. But great minds do think alike.
Here’s the link to StarFscker’s original comment in context.
“stingily withholding the feces”
what the everlovin’ … that’s Owly-level weirdness. Worse.
My mind, it is boggled.
Also, re “fat” ankles, that was the moment where I finally acknowledges just how weird the fashion industry is, when Christian Louboutin decided that Barbie had fat ankles.
Good grief. That is so fucking stupid, words fail. Apart from anything else, I feel like asking this twit if he really thinks plastic dolls have bone structure …
Barbie has proper ankles? I always figured those were legs that extended straight into feet that could only wear heels…
Re: that feces line — I think that’s straight Freud on why some kids won’t potty train — they’re actively withholding feces (mind you, these days we’re more in favor of “stop trying to force the kid or they’ll get resentful and um…refuse to go” so yeah, that one has a touch of logic, that Freud still got wrong)

Freud’s head would have exploded if he’d seen all the courtiers who’d blithely take a crap in the courtyards, or go pee behind a tapestry.
Ok dude/Louboutin, I’ve got nothing against your foot fetish until you start involving people without anything like consent, and children’s toys no less…
Between that, and the big baddie for season four of Criminal Minds, brain bleach stat! (No pigs please, and trust me, you don’t want to know why not)
I guess it’s just good that he’s a shoe designer – a clothing designer would probably have given Barbie a breast reduction too.
Brain bleach coming up!

D’AWW who’s a cute little puppy!
Oh, I’m falling asleep, and no wonder. Been out walking (and SHOPPING) all day and it’s 11.30 here. I think I’d better hit the hay. Niters, all! 🙂
G’night!
Ok, my turn to call it a night, figures that one of the few episodes before this cliffhanger is required for the second part to make sense >.<
G’night!
I think there’s something you can rub on the areas that chafe to make them chafe less? I can’t remember what the product is but I recall seeing people talk about this back when Shapely Prose was still running.
Riding horses can involve chafing. One of the more popular anti-chafing products is named, “Monkey Butt”.
Silk does feel cool, because it’s smooth, tends to have very little air in the spinning, an is a poor conductor of heat. It’s also why it makes a good warm layer in the winter.
Re; chafing….Bodyglide! I haven’t used it but I think that is the one my friends who like to go running use. The name makes me think of going down a slide. Like a penguin.
In the TMI dept. When I was in Kuwait/Iraq I either wore boxers, or did without. In hot and humid climes wearing underwear can lead to men getting yeast infections (symptoms like the clap).
When wearing a kilt underwear can be uncomfortable, as the waist is deep, and it can bind on the waistband of the underwear, so one has to have well fitted shorts, wear trews, or go regimental.
For jeans, boxers can be a pain, since they bunch. Briefs which are too snug can crawl into the hip/bind the scrotum (worse on hot/humid days). No shorts can be ok, it can also get sort of odd.
I call this chub rub when it happens to me, and I’ve found that lotion with shea butter helps immensely. Yay for insane TX summers, this was not an issue in the PNW.
I’ve also had some experience with that when wearing dresses in summer. Roll-on deodorant on the inner thigh worked wonders for me, but mine was very mild.
Re toilet training, my impression was that some people start this when the child is too young, i.e. is not cognitively developed enough to be aware of when they “need to go” (i.e. physical feeling) and/or does not have executive functions that allow advance planning of the actions needed. From the literature I have seen, children develop these skills around the 2.5 to 3 year age mark.
Some people (maybe more so in the past) reckoned that they had their children trained below 2 years of age. While this could be true in the rare case, it could alternatively be that the parent(s) recognised when the child was about to go and shoved a potty under them. Some children are self-motivated to train fast because they don’t like the feel of a dirty nappy (diaper), others don’t mind or enjoy it. 🙂
On going commando: my best friend’s mother wears nothing but long skirts unless she’s dressing up and has, as far as the best friend knows (so at least for the past 30 or so years), never worn underwear. She’s in her mid-sixties now and I think that she’s awesome. (Not just for the constant going commando, but it helps.)
I’ve gone commando quite a bit, but I always feel too revealed in skirts no matter the length. In pants though, that aren’t too tight and aren’t too loose, I like it.
Isn’t going commando misandry? 😛
The problem isn’t that women dress sexy. The problem is how to get a woman who is for the most part a plane jane to dress sexay(the is coming from a guy who is a bf)when she is for the most part a shy, introverted, private person who resists wearing such outfits since she doesn’t like that kind of attention from strangers. How do ya do it?
No trolling here(4realz)
Probably. I feel like we need an MRA to rank all the misandries for us. Going commando: better or worse than scented candles? Wearing revealing clothes: better or worse than women refusing to date guys they aren’t attracted to? (Or, wrt the OP, are they the same thing?)
I realize ranking oppressions is usually a no-no, but since the MRM seems to ignore normal social justice “rules”…
@Purple Star
How your girlfriend dresses is not something you get to control. You can ask once or twice (no nagging or pressuring) if she would be interested in wearing something different because you like it, but that’s it.
Surely you knew how she preferred to dress when you started dating?
Plane jane? So you’re partnered with a Boeing? 🙂
Joking aside, I agree with Some Girl. You knew how she dressed when you started seeing her. People who enter relationships hoping to change the other party are often disappointed. Given her personality attributes that you mention, her clothing style appears to match well.
While I have sympathy for partners who want to discourage their significant other from going out looking like they don’t have personal hygiene and/or who inappropriately consistently wear clothing out socially or for work that looks like it should be in the rubbish , this does not sound like your circumstances.
Have you asked yourself why you want her to wear revealing clothes? It sounds like you want her to look more attractive to other guys to pump up your ego. That’s not a cool thing to do.
