I read an interesting article today about misogynistic mass murderers.

"Part of being a woman is the slow realization that some men, for no discernible reason, are always going to hate you. And you have no way of knowing who they are until they open their mouths, or open fire. "

So very true.

I don't the whole hating women thing.

Neither do I.

I think the problem is too that men seem to only want dime-pieces anyway. It's as if they forget and think that being rejected, and lonely, and made to feel like shit is strictly a man's domain. It happens plenty to women I'm sure too, but you don't see us take it out on innocent men walking down the street.

Might be sexual frustration. ermm

And they're mostly clueless, it has nothing to do with looks. We can just sense desperation, and it makes us uneasy, that's what scares us off, not the fact you're bald or fat or poor.

I'm bald fat and poor, but my gf doesn't care at all!

Probably because you're not a creep underneath it all haermm

haermm I'm actually quite a nice person, thank you.

You're nice too. hug

hihat

I'm really starting to rage about these bullshit youtube ads mid-video. How does Spotify work, can I make playlists with any song I want?

Yes you can. Just get the free trial, search for songs, then add to playlist.

Easy.

How long does the trail last?

a month

Spotify is great, it has a very good selection. The one I've been missing the most so far is Silver Jews, who are amazing. With the premium version you don't get ads (which are annoying as ****, although Sarah is using it with ads), and you get to save songs offline on a smartphone, which is insanely useful. I only listen on Spotify now, hardly ever listen to my Mp3s.

There's so many problem with the way men are brought up it's hard to think of where to start. One aspect is that men are lauded for their struggle to break down a woman's rejection. Media teaches us again and again that you just need to be persistent, and a no is really just an "ask me again in a minute". Additionally there is a sick romanticization of unrequited love. But fundamentally I think that many men, and particularly young men, struggle to view women as full, self-determined people. To them women are really the NPCs in a story where they are the protagonists.

Don't worry, Disney is changing that with having all their lead female protagonist being independent ass-kickers who really don't need men, but take them anyways cos what's the alternative, lesbianism.

Sailormoon's okay with that.

It's a step in the right direction.

How do you feel about this as the father of both a girl and a boy?

I don't mind it, but the repetition/formula can get stale. But I still prefer it over the long standard formula of "helpless doting girl".

Lesbianism?
