So, there’s a whole bunch of MRA stuff I should be writing about now, and some Roosh drama, but, you know, my heart just isn’t in it at the moment. So I’m going to take a few more days off to clear my head. In the meantime, I would suggest keeping up with the latest MRA and PUA shenanigans by checking out the AgainstMensRights and TheBluePill subreddits, respectively.
Also, I thought you all might appreciate this video of a cat discovering snow for the first time.
And Happy New Year! Or did I already wish you guys that?
Congratulations Pecunium !
Are y’all taking a honeymoon right away ?
Yeah in the same way you might mouth off to someone “go to hell.” ..?
Its ridiculous.
I don’t want anyone to die . and me saying “go straight up and take a u-turn “(which is go to hell) or “take a long walk off a short bridge” being taken that seriously ??
Since it “pretty clear ” to you based on those phrases I literally want anyone to die ? Then I wont quote you anymore either . I can not believe anyone would think saying that I meant anyone to kill themselves or die at all .
Incredible.
Woah! Congratulations, pecunium! That’s wonderful news, as in actually full of wonder, and I wish you all the best!
OK, promise?
“though perhaps this is sense of politesse, in that it’s my news to share” — yep. And now that that sense is broken…SQUEE PECUNIUM’S GETTING MARRIED!!
Back on topic, having read too much radfem “logic” I think she’s having a case of “I’m enlightened and you aren’t so I know what you want and you don’t”. In other words, yes she thinks women who enjoy PiV are brainwashed by the patriarchy into accepting rape. And the anti-PiV crowd seems to think the semen should be deposited on the vulva, it’s the only answer I’ve ever seen as to how one could make a baby without having PiV sex or IVF or such.
Hey congratulations, pecunium — that’s fantastic news!
I’m actually surprised that people interpret “long walk off short pier” as a death wish. I honestly always thought it implied that you wish the speaker would end feeling uncomfortable and looking foolish, like someone who fell in the water unexpectedly. Same as “go jump in a lake”?
Wooo! Congrats, pecunium! :>
Congratulations, Pecunium! And a heartfelt “hang in there” to anyone who’s dealing with health or weather troubles right now. Virtual hugs for anyone in need of them!
And hey y’all, are you up for some laughs? Clicky here and watch Mystery get served.</a.
Even funnier, he's all over the comment section, trying to pimp his shit and just generally making an ass of himself. It's a chore to wade through it all, but I'm lulzing like a loon on a lake. It's actually helping to keep my nausea at bay; I've got one of those winter gut bugs right now.
Sorry, Linky Monster ate my ass. And then it bounced me back to the previous page. I just love it when that happens…
Boo to winter gut bugs. Feel better soon, Bina.
That’s exactly how I read it. Long walk of a short pier means “fall in, get wet and look a complete idiot” to me, not “go drown”.
Pecunium, congrats! 🙂
Congratulations on the wedding, Pecunium.
Take a short walk off a long cliff.
Go to hell.
Fuck off.
Die in a fire.
Jump in a lake.
Burn in hell.
Eat shit and die.
All these things generally mean “You’re irritating, shut up and go away.” Some of them also indicate that the going away should be permanent and painful.
Many people in social justice circles, myself included, are starting to realize that it’s not okay to wish death on people who are just irritating.
Yeah, it’s just a thing people say. Everybody knows you shouldn’t take it seriously.
The thing is, when everybody’s saying it, and nobody’s taking it seriously, then nobody notices when it *should* be taken seriously.
An old man in my community used to threaten to burn down the place if a business he was in was displeasing him. Nobody took him seriously, because everybody makes empty threats. Except, in his case, he was serious, and he did try to burn down a couple of places.
It’s not exactly a “Boy Cries Wolf” kind of thing, but letting violent utterances slide because you don’t really mean it gives cover to people who do really mean it.
I look at it the same was as not laughing at rape jokes. I try not to make empty threats. YMMV.
I reeeeeeeealy don’t like “die in a fire.” I wouldn’t wish that kind of painful death on anyone.
Pecunium: Hooray! I am sure you will be the most dapper guy there.
I hate, with the fire of a thousand incandescent suns, the phrase, “die in a fire”.
I won’t go into details, but I have some visceral associations with that phrase.
Take a long walk off a short pier is, IMO, a “fuck off”.
I was confused by the, “go straight up and make a U-turn”. I side-eyed it, and withheld comment. I don’t think it’s a stretch to see how it could be taken as moderately serious.
The first time I encountered that radfem witchwind blog it almost made me cry. They really are straw feminists, except they’re real. And that upset me.
Now I just can’t read it. It’s too boring.
Congratulations, Pecunium!
Seconding Unimaginative. Obviously neither zie nor I can stop other people from using those expressions, but we should be able to disassociate ourselves from their use without a wah-you’re-so-mean response being seen as reasonable.
(People are of course also free to have the wah-you’re-so-mean response, and I am free to point out how silly it is, especially if it’s not the first time.)
Re wedding: Yeah, It’s gonna be hard for people to top Kilt with Mess Dress and Medals.
Thankfully neither my beloved, nor her/our other partner care that I am a peacock. Their ceremony will be a bit less ornate to look at, if a bit more formally structured.
Though she will have two dresses to wear.
Those extreme radfems give radical feminism a bad name. Transphobia; ugh. Talk about clueless. And PIV is all rape? WTF is this shit??? My first time wasn’t exactly ideal, but it did stop pinching when I bent my knees and adjusted my pelvis. Wow! Suddenly all the parts aligned, and it was easy! And no bleeding, either! What magick is this? Oh, just a little thing called catching on…
And speaking of catching on: Someone please explain to this person that there is such a thing as foreplay too, and it’s actually quite helpful in making sex hurt less, or not at all.
Also, doctors. Has she seen one about that tearing thing? Because that’s not normal.
THANK you Orion ! And Kitteh!
Really ? Like I meant go kill your self or die ?
Its scary . I never meant such a thing . Eggshells . Walking on .
Just dissociate your self from “people” like me period. I don’t think you’re “mean ” I just think you have no right to try and censor me . If you do I will say something . Actually you are the one going WAHHH you’re mean to me .
I will say take a long walk off a short bridge ,or go straight up and make a U-turn all I want .You can say its “mean ” Its a damn saying like fuck you or go to hell..Who are you to word censor me ? I didn’t say anything that requires this kind of zoning in on and ridicule.
Its ridiculous.
By the way I’m not talking about it any more . Word police carry on . Final word ? My words NEVER meant for anyone to commit suicide .(don’t know how that even came into play) or to die .Anymore than fuck you or go to hell. I guess that’s a death wish too.
