Over on Comics Should Be Good, glimpses of a terrifying misandrist future — and the man who set out to make things right again!
He does look cute in his little cleaning outfit, I have to admit.
Check the whole thing out. It’s pretty hilarious.
EDIT: I changed the link from Buzzfeed to Comics Should Be Good, which originally dug up the comic and shows more from it.
Relevant: His Black Dress. Although I don’t think he IDs as a cross dresser – his deal is that skirts should be unisex.
Oh, and what’s wrong with the word “woman”? When you call someone “a hetero female” you’re dehumanising them.
ahaha, I messed up in my last comment.
I meant it’s putting the burden or your happiness ON what she does with her body, not at the expense of, cuz the first one doesn’t make sense.
Actually, I’m not sure it makes sense either way. W/e. the point is don’t act like someone’s body should give you happiness before it should give them happiness, SINCE IT IS THEIR BODY
@Some Gal
In practical terms, its a hard line.
I live in a vastly different culture than the rest of you, which complicates things a bit. I’m an Orthodox Jew, so there is also the aspect of a woman keeping covered up. Or a man conforming to regular societal expectations of dress.
But, if you marry someone with certain features, then I don’t think its unreasonable to make yourself as sharp as when you met them. I don’t mean botox, or crap like that. I think that keeping the same hair color, eyes, etc. is normal. But a woman gaining weight after pregnancy just goes with the territory. A guy has to live with it. Same with balding, or graying on a guy.
Where I don’t have a good answer is the fact that I think wigs are revolting. I think a more traditional womens hair covering looks much better, but be that as it may, more women like the wigs, and its not like you can force them to switch.
Twerpazoid is so pretty!
I’ve had about enough of Diogenes and his incredibly narrow, homophobic, transphobic and misogynist attitudes, ignorance and entitlement.
Wait, changing hair color is out? I assume you don’t mean graying, since you put it in later. Unless that was just for guys 😛
Man, I’d never get in a committed relationship with someone who said I need to keep my hair color the same because I loooovvveee dying it. Must be miserable in diogenes universe 😛
My response to any change in the boyfriend’s appearance* has been and will always be:
You changed. 🙁 I liked the old you.
You look great. 🙂 I love the new you.
He has never had anything but similarly good things to say about changes in my appearance.**
*These changes so far have included: wearing glasses more often, wearing contacts more often, weight loss, weight gain, hair cuts, not getting hair cuts for long stretches, shaving his head, new clothes, shaving his face, growing a beard, changing his posture, and probably hundreds of other changes that happen to human bodies over the course of 9 years.
**These changes have included: weight gain, weight loss, breast size increases, breast size decreases, wearing glasses more, wearing contacts more, shaving my legs, not shaving my legs, shaving pubic areas, not shaving pubic areas, trimming pubic areas, not trimming pubic areas, shaving my head, cutting my hair, letting my hair grow, plucking my eyebrows, not plucking my eyebrows, plucking my eyebrows too much, shaving my armpits, not shaving my armpits, painting my nails, not painting my nails, new clothes, and hundreds of other changes that happen to human bodies over the course of 9 years.
@kittehs
do you want the rest of us to stop responding to diogenes? just asking, since you said you’ve had enough.
@emilygoddess Thanks for sharing that website! I’m a little jealous that guy has so many cute skirts.
She was beyond a doubt the greatest cat I have ever know, and I have know some very unusual cats over the years.
Diog is doing his you just don’t understaaaand routine, yet again.
SQUEE for all the new kitties!
Goodnight Argenti! Take care of yourself and have any hugs you need!
@WeeBoy I know, I’m wicked jealous of his clothing budget. And his style – I never did get the hang of fashion.
@Some Gal: “probably hundreds of other changes that happen to human bodies over the course of 9 years.”
AMEN. I mean, honestly, how long do relationships last in Diogenes’ loveless imagination?
I’ve been in love with my husband since high school. From a twerpy little skinny boy with long hair to a full grown solid build with short hair (and there was a buzz cut in there) — through surgery, grays, receding hair, etc. And i plan on loving him when we’re both 90 and running over whippersnappers with our mobility scooters. Most people live in bodies and bodies _change over time._
Marie – it was a general sort of statement in the hope the little shite will get banned one day. 😉
Would you like me to dig up the link you dropped here trying to prove your smarts that was one extra-large dumbass dating fail with loser sauce on the side?
@kittehs
Just checking 😀 then I’ll keep poking him till someone asks me to stop.
@heidihi
When people say that a person has the responsibility to stay roughly the same, they are also saying that a person who gets sick is failing that responsibility. And the typical answer ti that, that it is different if it is a “legitimate” reason, just says that the potential partner’s desires AREN’T legitimate. Like Diogenes, such people are entitled, controlling assholes.
*heidihai
I’m sorry about that. 🙁
I’m not fade, I’m not hetero, and I’m definitely not a “female”, but my boyfriend’s body is his goddamn body and I don’t feel at all entitled to tell him how to feed it, dress it, or trim it.
@The Kitteh
Its hilarious how you zero in on part of a statement so you don’t have to view the argument as a whole. No normal person would read transphobia into what I wrote above. I gave one example of change, and you intentionally take it out of context to make yourself feel like the moral crusader you really aren’t.
Same with the example of using a hetero assumption with the other relationship. You should take your outrage-meter in for tuning.
@Diogenes
Your definition of a “normal person” is fucked up.
::high fives heidihai::
I’ve seen pictures of Mr K from infancy to his passing, with any number of styles of hair and facial hair and general appearance, and whether or not I care for a particular cut, they’re all HIM and that’s what matters.
Good grief. Some damn customer in the shop just stared through the doorway into our office and said “Who’s the third musketeer on the wall?” Didn’t seem to occur to her that people in offices are likely to have loved ones’ pics and that it was none of her goddamn business. Fucking boundaries, how do they work?
@fade
I understand you either way.
I agree putting the onus of your own happiness on your partner is mean and manipulative, but not caring about your partners preferences is like checking out of a relationship.
@hellkell
Be my guest.
“No normal person would read transphobia into what I wrote above.”
Bullshit. If we’re speaking of zooming in, how about you ignoring that several people had the same response: you’re a transphobic piece of shit. Are you trying to define us all out of your definition of “normal”? You’ve already said you come from a hyper-conservative culture, so kindly don’t try to impose your narrow attitudes on us.
I don’t actually claim to be a moral crusader, btw. But a half-eaten sandwich has more moral sense than you do.
Oh, and if “normal” means “fitting Diogenes’ essentialist, ignorant, bigoted definition” then it doesn’t sound in the least appealing.
