So a fella on the Men’s Rights subreddit made this poster, which he’s planning to post in the vicinity of the Women’s Studies Department at his school, assuming he can find it.
Since I know that a lot of females read this blog, I thought I’d ask you all just which of these Unchecked Female Privileges (There’s Nothing “Benevolent” About Them) are your favorites. You can pick more than one! (I know how inherently greedy you feemales are.)
Has he missed any important ones?
Non-women are allowed to post in this thread as well, but only if they preface their comments with “If it may please the feemales, might I humbly suggest that … .”
Same elderly gentleman would call people who were especially socially active “hot flyers” or “hot runners.” And another time he described a bookie he knew, called him “a bookie with civic ideas — he believed in law and order, but there were phases of the law where he differed with the interpretation.”
I miss him.
cloudiah: I hope you can find that history, I’d love to read it.
Oh, we couldn’t publish it as an oral history because we didn’t get permission. He was helping us in another capacity, and it just turned into an accidental oral history because he told us so much about his life. Full of gossip, and interesting stories about black celebrities and LA nightlife. But if you shoot me an email (I’ve forgotten yours) at my nym at The Google I can send you some information.
MRAs don’t do anything either, which makes the clock one even more suitable.
I like the cat and porridge one, ‘cos Katie’s always been fond of porridge and gets snotty if it’s too hot for her to eat it straight away.
Oh geez, that just reminded me of something Magnus used to do – he loved chips (fries to you USians) but if he got one that was too hot, he’d growl at it to make it cool down.
Never failed, either. Chips are easily intimidated.
Cat logic! (That’s adorable.)
Sweet Pea adores baked goods. Scones, French toast, bruschetta: She has stolen them all.
And a few days ago we left a bag of rolls on the table and she tried to eat them through the bag. The bag and the rolls both had little holes poked through them.
First time Magnus has ever been called adorable! 😀
Speaking of kittehs, I now have irrefutable proof that Maddie is a guttersnipe.
I went into the lounge last night and she was sitting bolt upright on her Ignoring Television perch (aka the stereo cabinet). Sorry, sorry, I haven’t put your fleecy rug there for you, sez I, fetching the rug. When I turn back she’s not sitting there anymore, she’s standing mooning me!
Oh the shame, she has no manners at all.
This oughta be good, I think Mr. Elam is ready for his closeup.

hellkell, read the comments…
From the aforementioned comments:
All I can really muster here is a “LOLWUT”
I’m clearly not cut out for comments sections these days.
My favorites:
Cheaper healthcare
Less likely to be depressed
‘Having it all’
Word salad: It’s what’s for dinner!
This is a lie. Oven-roasted chicken and vegetables is what’s for dinner. Which I’m glad of, word salad not really being renowned for its tastiness.
YUM! Love overn-roasted chicken.
It’s fish, boiled spuds and veggies night here. Also yum, even if it doens’t sound it. 🙂

We bow before neuroticbeagle’s image searching skills.
(And also apologize for the lack of seriousness, and the fact that the dog does not appear to be offering to go hug a misogynist.)
Meanwhile, just another day in Australia…
I hoped someone would pick up on the kangaroo at Tullamarine! I boggled seeing that on the news last night after mildlymagnificent’s kangaroo on the street incident.
Always.

It’s a good thing I don’t have anything to drink. Otherwise I would have ruined my monitor.
OT but, courtesy of Shakesville, anyone else seen this?

Which has ignited the debate about whether the accepted view of it being the men hunting the mammoth is correct … 😎
Obviously this is proof that kangaroos hopping around urban areas is in fact an everyday occurrence in Australia.
I knew my suburb was substandard! All we get is the occasional rabbit.
Whereas I get racoons. California wins!
(I choose not to live in the parts of California that get mountain lions, because that’s just too much kitty for me.)
I saw a fox from the train the other day – brilliant patch of colour in a greeny-brown paddock. I know we’ve foxes all over the place but I’ve never seen one before.
We also get magpies, which are absolute menaces in nesting season (if one of those birds swoops you you really know it). Luckily we’re past that, now, and it’s the season for feeling sorry for the magpie parents. The babies are out of the nest and will spend months yet tagging around after them saying MUUUUUM/DAAAAAAD I’M HUNGREEEEEEEEE.
