Happy Easter, or what remains of it, for those who celebrate it! (And happy Deep Discounts on Peeps Day to all who celebrate that tomorrow.)
There’s an interesting, er, theological discussion about the meaning of Easter over on The Spearhead. In a short post, WF Price argues that the uppity ladies of today could learn a thing or two from Mary Magdalene:
One of my favorite subtexts of the Easter story is the devotion of Mary Magdalene, who kept a vigil at her Lord’s tomb, and thereby became the first witness to the Resurrection.
I don’t see it as a specifically Christian message, but rather a universal one: the woman, regardless of her background or past, can attain holiness through selfless love and devotion. I hope some day that our own errant women can follow Mary Magdalene’s example.
A nonbeliever with the clever handle fakeemail isn’t convinced:
Once a whore always a whore.
I have no interest for a whore who “saw the light” aka a 30 year old cock-carouseler who is out of options. I want the young woman who was smart enough to never be a whore in the first place.
Evidently MRAs never take a holiday from being dicks.
Wow. I really can’t type any better than I can talk. SO THATS A COOL DISCOVERY.
Add “boredom,” and yes.
@brz
I know at least one manboobzer has said they were trying not to call people dicks. Don’t remember who though.
Also: learn2history. Language doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
(Points up)
Look, a French bear!
Shut up, Brz.
And Brz wins the discussion on MRAs. Nicely done, bro!
It’s not a democracy, it’s a PHALLOCRACY.
Wow, Brz is even more confused than I am.
most of these things are what men shame other men with. Do you think feminists use ‘virgin’ as an insult? Close, but no phallocratic cigar.
(totally skipping the actual purpose of the post, other than to mention I watched the DaVinci Code saturday night!)
I really, really like CassandraSays’ definitions of cis & trans. I think a huge problem for confused people is the vagueness of online definitions, like this one:
This kind of definition is very confusing, since many cis people do not do conform to ‘appropriate’ gender expression or behavior.
Oh, definition was from http://www.apa.org/topics/sexuality/transgender.aspx
@daintydougal
Wow. Somehow I missed the bottom of his post. O_o My brain kind of blocked it out. Too pointless XD
Oh wow, this dick doesn’t know why he shouldn’t call people “pussy”.
I think if you have a phallocracy your royal scepter is a giant dildo that you wave around while making announcements.
Ah, the claws would explain that sentence . Thanks CassandraSays.
Hold on, Brz, I know a nice tumblr graph that can explain this to you.

Except when people insult you by calling you a dick, I don’t think it’s necessarily the patriarchy backfiring on men and actually just an insult of which I am not sure of the origins.
Anyway, my point is you’re whiny.
I don’t even wanna know how they knight people.
I couldn’t resist being childish…
@Fade
Thats soooo good.
“Arise, Sir Brz. Please remember to use the ceremonial towel.”
This makes me wonder in how many languages you can call people dicks compared to calling them pussies(or some equivalent).
In mine, I can’t think of a slur that has anything to do with man-assigned stuff, but lots of woman-assigned ones.
All my flouncing has made me more tired than this chap
I shall thank you again for the kindness and the welcome and bid you good night/day wherever you may be.
Yes, that’s why I’ve tried to introduce this word. The word “phallocrate” is very popular among French feminists, each time they use this word I imagine myself waving a dick-scepter in the streets affirming my male power in front of repulsed women.
You’ve never accused me of being a “phallocrate” here. That’s unfair : I’ve always wanted to be a “phallocrate” and use the power of the magical dongle.
@dainty
Good night!
Weak trolling attempt, 1/10.
deniseeliza: That link of yours… so painful. Especially when it starts linking to other discussions in which the fictional characters of Gone with the Wind* are valid examples of how “game” works, and why women are evil.
*GwtW being on the list of “Films I enjoyed before I really understood that they teach that ‘Rape is okay so long as you’re good at it.'”
… my mom has a copy of Gone with the Wind
*is overtaken by morbid curiosity*
How much Whatthefuckery should I expect if I watch it?
