So we learned the other day from that Man Going His Own Way that male violence was, like, totally the fault of evil sexy ladies. Now, from this Men’s Rights Redditor, we learn that homophobia — or at least homophobia directed at gay men — is all the fault of straight women and their desire for macho dudes. Because straight men don’t ever express any sort of hostility towards gay or effeminate men — it’s just those darn ladies!
But, huh, what about all those straight dudes who are always calling other dudes “gay” and, you know, that other word that starts with an “f?”
Well, apparently that’s just playful joshing. No harm, no foul! If anything, it shows how wonderfully tolerant of gayness these guys are. I mean, come on, if you can’t see this, you must be stupid, or something. Or so says this other Men’s Rights Redditor:
They’re just having a little fun. You’re not against fun, are you?
Thanks to the AgainstMen’sRights subreddit for pointing me to these quotes.
Argenti: Oh so that’s why you wear a skirt! (Note to the rest of you, for the purpose of this post kilt = skirt)
A kilt is a skirt. It’s a type, as is a broomstick, or a panel, or a wraparound, or a mini, etc.
I live in a fairly small city and still see homeless women all over the place. In London you can’t walk more than a few blocks in the West End without seeing homeless teenagers of both sexes camping out.
Go fuck yourself. I have. The person I love more
At some point you decided that men ware the enemy and all chance of making the world better was lost
She did? How do you know this?
Are you watching Buffy from the start, cloudiah? I’ve never seen it. But then I only ever watched one ep of The X Files, too …
Speaking of which, I hear Matt Smith is leaving Dr Who. Anyone got a wish list for the next Doctor?
Is it weird that I’ve never owned a proper kilt as an adult? I had one as a child, and I have a mini kilt that I bought in my teens, but no proper kilts. My father must be so ashamed.
Re Buffy, you guys know that Jenny Trout (she of the awesome 50 Shades mockery posts) is also doing Bufft recaps?
Sorry, cat posted.
Anyway, the woman I love more than anyone else in the world was homeless for years. Probably because the patriarchy loves women.
You’re not funny anymore Sparky. Now you’re just reminding me of the assholes who are shitty to her.
*spits in your general direction*
I just ordered a new one (modern). I have three plaids, and one solid trad (black watch, US Army, and Calif). I have a two moderns, but neither is quite right in the waist, one of of them is going back for adjustment this week. The other I need to repair (i.e. make smaller).
Cassandra – does this mean you’re No True Scotswoman? :O
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the X-Files are some of the best things ever.
Troll can still go fuck himself.
I also hate whisky and barely tolerate haggis. I am a Bad Scot. Um, I like all of the sweets, including whisky flavored things?
Not just seen, but enumerated. Census job.
(Yes, I was taking advantage of the government’s chivalrous quotas to get three whole days of work.)
I hope kilts are cheaper in the US than they are here, pecunium!
Nepenthe, my cat actually made an Outlook Calendar appointment for me, that came up today. It just said “h hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuuuiuiuuuu’
I tried to attend that meeting, but it didn’t have a location. Buster is just not a very good personal assistant.
pecunium, thanks for the spoons explanation.
And kittehs, yes, I have been watching from the beginning. That and The Wire. And assorted Criterion films. I got a Roku and have temporarily subscribed to EVERYTHING so I am trying to watch EVERYTHING until I cancel most of it.
@katz, Census work is hard. Thank you for doing it. I just found my grandfather in the 1920s census, so I’m feeling very favorably disposed towards census workers.
I Am a Bad Scot, another band name!
The one time I tried haggis was soooo disappointing. Serves me right for eating it in a pub, I guess. Tasted like ordinary mincemeat that had been soaked in
natronpepper for forty days.At least the neeps and tatties were good.
Tsk, tsk, cloudiah – of course Buster is a very good PA, it’s not her fault you can’t read Cat. You should be grateful when one of the furry overlords does things for you, you, you human.
Haggis is kind of a specialized thing, I wouldn’t recommend eating it in any place that doesn’t focus on it. It also requires a certain ability to not think about how it’s made, at least for me.
Hmm, I wonder if my cousin who lives in Australia could be recruited into this hypothetical band…not only does she love U2 far more than Simple Minds, she married an Englishman.
Kittehs: I hope kilts are cheaper in the US than they are here, pecunium!
They vary. 75-200 is the going price for non-wool (very good fake wool, or non-wool-like materials). For wool (light, 6-8 oz, 4-6 yards) the prices run from 150-300.
There is a woman in Ariz. who went to Scotland and learned how to weave plaids for kilts. She starts at about 800USD for a 6-8 yard, in a 6-8 oz weight. I’d like to get a couple from her US Army, pleated to stripe, and a Calif. pleated to sett).
I love British things that sound like you’re speaking a made-up language.
Bubble and squeak is my favorite (the sound of it, not the taste). Also toad in the hole.
I have horrid luck. My bed frame broke today. Boo.
And as far as homeless individuals I met several youth who had been homeless for several years. Boys and girls.
Don’t forget Spotted Dick!
(This is turning into that conversation Nanny and Granny had about food names in Foreign all being rude.)
Pecunium – yup, that’s cheaper than here. A standard 8 yard kilt is about $550.
Kittehs, for a wool kilt, the going price for an 8 yard, in 8 oz is about 750USD.
