The daily show reposted an old clip about the Fox News panel where a bunch of guys in their 50's made teenage girls dress up in leggings so they could talk about what is and isn't appropriate for girls to wear. It was an objectively weird and creepy segment. Naturally a whole bunch of creepy MRAs came out of the woodwork.

quote:

I like leggings in the work place. It reminds of a "mad men" era where women pleased men. I get bored at the office and having some eye candy to look at sure doesn't hurt. Beauty should be appreciated whether it's in the female form, male form, musical form, or whatever medium. You know those offices that have sexy men and women working there that are in GQ and other magazines? Those offices full of beautiful people actually exist. Now when a woman walks by in leggings I would be stupid to break my neck following her gracious movement in flattering attire; there are more subtle techniques to use when admiring a woman secretively. There's the oh she's coming this way, so I'll put my back to her so when she passes I can look up approach, there's the quick glance from a magazine approach, and many more. (A good magician never reveals his tricks). As a male of dabonair, let's be respectful when looking at women, there no need to oggle them because when you do oggle them you ruin it for everybody. They may stop wearing leggings entirely. So let's silently appreciate it, do not fist bump me, and go about our business. Hell if she looks that good in clothes imagine.... And that should be enough to inspire you to spark up a conversation with her. Who knows, she could be the love of your life that you're letting walk on by because you're too chicken to talk to her.

Let's not be coy. Those leggings are there for a reason. As for little girls wearing them.... Wtf are people thinking. There really should be an age limit on them=18 and up. Some 16 year old girls look like they're 25 and I feel really slimy knowing that I can possibly be looking at a 16 year old. And don't tell me to not look, it's the real world. If I don't look the next guy will look, if you don't like being looked at them don't wear it. Like I said, let's not be coy. People are going to look. If you don't like being looked at then wear a really long dress. But poo poo, I'm sure you'd look good in a dress too
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."-Robin Williams, Dead Poet's Society

quote:

Stop bitching, feminists, we've got REAL issues to deal with like preventing the extinction of every species on the planet - including ours. Your immature complaints are rooted in narcissism and aren't worth the time spent on reading them. Grow up.

quote:

'm pretty sure it's about teenage girls wearing skimpy clothes out and their fathers disallowing them to go out dressed like they want to be sexually pursued by other boys.

Why is it "gross" that a middle aged man would sexualize a post-pubescent girl in his mind when the post-pubescent girl has sexualized herself in her dress? And when that was the typical pair married less than 200 years ago. 14 year old girl (or younger) and a 30 year old man (or older).

So what if it's all guys? Girls don't know how guys think, and must every panel contain a representative from every race, gender, sex, creed, religion, nation, and age? The panel is for fathers. No one is rejecting women's or mothers' input. Just soliciting fathers'.

And if I had a son, as a father, I would just as quickly prevent my son from walking around with his shirt off if I thought it would make girls lust after him as I would tell my girl to change if I thought it would make some boys lust after her.

quote:

Ben Roberts You just described the problem perfectly. It is not seen as the same thing, but why not? Why can a woman walk around with her pussy clearly visible, but if a guy was to do the same everyone would lose their poo poo. Ben, thank's for illustrating my point so perfectly. It SHOULD be viewed as the same thing because it is, but it isn't and that's the problem. Genitalia is genitalia, if one sex can't show it off, then the other shouldn't be allowed to either. You are just proving the bias in society. Tell me, why is my dick and balls being clearly visible any different than a females pussy being clearly visible? Again, thanks for proving my point buddy. Equality means equal treatment for men and women. You take the good with the bad. If a female can have her pussy displayed for the world to see then why in the hell can't i do the same? If that labels a man a sex offender, it should also label a female a sex offender. That is equality, what you want is bias.

STRAIGHT TROPIN'

Things liberals say...
'You need to travel and see how the rest of the world lives.' 'We say happy holidays to include those with religious holidays in January and February, also, to acknowledge that they're Americans too - and the only ones who have a problem with that are inbred rednecks.' (In reference to my post about saying Merry Christmas)

Well, here's the thing, Miss thinks-she-knows-it-all, I couldn't give a single poo poo less how the rest of the world lives. If they want to wish me Happy Holidays, they can knock themselves out. I celebrate Christmas. I'll wish you a Merry Christmas and you wish me whatever the gently caress you want to wish me. I'm not going to fall all over myself to include that 1 in 10 person. Life isn't fair and not everyone needs to be included in everything. If you're put out over my wishing you a Merry Christmas, too loving bad. I'm put out about a man winning woman of the year. I'm put out about sexual deviants becoming commonplace. I'm put out that nobody has any loving spine anymore and are completely incapable of standing up for THEMSELVES. They need a group or a club or a pack of liberals to be their voice whether they want it or not. Furthermore, I'm not a redneck, I'm definitely not inbred and by the looks of it, I am FAR more educated than you are. Do you people forget that most conservatives are hard working, well educated, well-off, upper middle class? I guess that part has eluded you in your label making stereotypes. Which just happens to be one more bit of hypocrisy coming from you stupid fucks.

Next up was Ann Coulter on 'The View'. Holy poo poo. First off, kudos to Ann for sitting amongst that pack of liberal idiots who think they have the slightest clue what they're talking about and entertaining their constant unfounded attacks. The only voices of reason up there were Ann Coulter and Barbara Walters. The best part, though, was when Ann said that the OJ verdict was the best thing that happened to black people. That it got white people over their white guilt for a minute and they started convicting black people for their crimes instead of feeling sorry for them and letting them act like savages. Which, in turn, saved thousands of black lives. Whoopi then asks her how she knows what it's like to be black and how she can say black people feel a certain way. Um, what? She didn't say that, dumbass. She didn't say anything remotely resembling that, actually. But, instead of just addressing what she DID say, it turned into a scream fest of unfounded accusations and attacks that had nothing to do with her book and everything to do with how they portrayed her personally. Facts just don't matter to liberals. They never have. Instead of responding with facts, they respond with accusations.They figure if they can talk louder and make accusations, they've won an argument. The equivalent of calling someone an 'inbred redneck' on the internet. Or the old, tired 'racist'. So, in their ignorant minds, if you don't have facts, start labeling and name calling to make you feel like you've won.

Like I've said a thousand times, conservatives are grounded in reality and liberals believe in fairy tales and unicorns. Only one is responsible enough to run a country. And liberals aren't them.

I know LoB's quotes, but don't those people celebrate the new year? Like, day off on Dec 31st, Jan 1st, and all that? Even in Greece and France people use Happy Holidays to refer to the entire period, and neither country is shy about plastering Christmas on everything and anything in sight. "Have a good period of time ranging from ~23rd of December until ~3rd of January" is a bit unwieldy, and even "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" has time issues (is it the 26th? Sounds weird, and the new year is a week away still), not to mention it's two things and not one, so it's harder to drop with a goodbye or something.

I've seen a few videos where "men try leggings" and they come to the same conclusion about leggings as literally every single woman who wears them and explains their reason for doing so: They're comfy as all gently caress.

Sometimes we also say "Plus they make my butt look good" so the fact they look nice is occasionally a secondary afterthought. And that's only if we wear leggings as pants exclusively and not with something else over it, like a really long sweater or a skirt which then hides said rear end. Primary function is comfort and you're just going to have to loving accept it, you pricks.
