Hahaha. Well played, sir. Well played.

Scratch that, I had VR Soccer confused with Sensible Soccer. As you were.

"Gift" is not a verb after all, is it? Ok, replace "gift" with "donate" then.

So, how about them Republicans and their stance on piracy? :p

this thread should die, but i can't resist

no, some men look down on you. in some places sadly, that equals society.
and of course, the women who allowed themselves to be brainwashed to believe they are not capable of more.

to make such a delusional moron respect you and watch his ego/superior attitude/confidence shrink or disappear is one of the most entertaining and satisfying things ever. as arnie would say, it's like pumping :)

unofficially though, some women look down on men as being too simple and easy to manipulate. in a twisted, perverse way it makes some sort of balance.

the hell do you mean by all the time? period? the only truly bad part about it are painful cramps, which are not that painful for everyone anyway, and painkillers help if it's extreme.

your bodies act up too, IF you know what i mean.

which in this day and age is pretty much irrelevant. you work out, you're strong, you don't, you're not. besides, a cunning, weak thief can easily beat a pure strength based warrior.
it's all about strategy.
irrelevant.

if you live in a nasty, unsafe neighbourhood. and i believe a man and a woman should be equally afraid in such circumstances.
distrust men? i distrust all humans equally.

depending on whom you ask, they actually might be thrilled by the idea of doing nothing :)
but yes, this one sucks. however if you ask the mothers, they'll probably say it's worth it. no father can have a bond with their child the way a (mentally healthy, normal, affectionate) mother can, because after all, the baby was in you for 9 months, it came out of you and always remains a part of you.

i'm sure it is. but it's just as fantastic being a girl/woman. i'd take being one any day.

edit: embarrassing mistakes, i hate how messed up edit seems to have become >.>

Thank you. You are awesome.

But are you an atheist?

:P

Good points.

Depending on the context, I think positive discrimination might lead to undesirable results sooner or later.

I suppose I was vague, and perhaps the issue is ethnocentric, but it is not just men who treat women unfairly. E.g. resumes for research assistants with random names assigned were given lower salaries when they were female names by both female and male scientists. (http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2012/09/21/study-offers-new-evidence-scientists-are-biased-against-women) This sort of stuff might be hard to see if you're not looking for it, but it pisses me off and I'm not even a woman.
Yep, that and the need for regular pap-smears, and menopause, and bladder infections. I happen to know a lady who can hardly function on the wrong day, but I know it's not universal. Maybe if I was a woman I wouldn't have any problem with it. I guess we have baldness and ED and prostate cancer so maybe I just prefer the devil I know ;)
Depends on your lifestyle and training, but yeah for most people it's probably irrelevant.
I was actually thinking of a specific book. The idea as basically that when a man goes out with a new woman his biggest fear is being laughed at - when a woman goes out with a new man her biggest fear is being raped/killed. (Aha, found it: Gavin De Becker: The Gift of Fear)
I suppose there are trade offs. Everybody wins :-)

Well, I think part of it is that BGG lives in another country. So her situation isn't the same as someone in North America.

And yeah, if I spend too much time listening to feminist party-liners than I start to feel that life sucks. Interestingly, my fairly-conservative church does a lot better at empowering me than any feminist group I tried to be a part of.

I think it's because of what the focus is - if the focus is on all the terrible things that terrible people will do and then excuse because you're a woman, you're going to feel threatened. If you focus on helping others, then you know that you're making a difference and have power to make changes in your life or someone else' . The terrible things that people try to excuse because of gender can't be ignored, but it isn't the sum of any person's life.

EDIT: To re-insert paragraph breaks. Forums software, when will you stop being randomly terrible?

"So i can give you both the time and attention you deserve". Hey i think i heard something like that here on the forum.

I understand why people use it, but I don't think it dramatises the metaphor, I think it literally makes the writer sound like they don't understand what "literally" means.

I also dislike the use of the word ironical... and, ironically, people who use the word ironic in the wrong context... wait... :)

Funny you should post this video. The next part of that episode describes exactly what I was trying to say. And to think it came from South Park.

Thanks to all for a fun ride. I would Plus One every post here, but seeing as how I just spent a great part of my evening reading all 13 pages, I'm not gonna spend the rest of it pointing and clicking at Plus signs. So, consider yourselves plus oned (is that a word?).

DISCLOSURE: Read the damn thread thinking at some point there would be pics and/or pron involved, but the comedic value ultimately made up for that disappointment. I think.

Boy, I feel like I missed out on some crazy 13 pages, but I really don't want to look back.
