I've never heard an accent quite like hers. It almost sounded like it was moving into a german or afrikaner when she got excited.

Her accent reminds me of the accent an Austrian member of my lab has, but I still wasn't sure.

There's a certain type of posh English person who never sound like they're from anywhere in particular. Usually some hobbity village somewhere with 60 people in it that nobody else has ever heard of.

Tommy Wiseau's accent isn't English. He's a Frenchman who learned English in New Orleans, and not very well.

Tommy Wiseau is Polish, his real name is Wieczor. He spent some years working illegally as kitchen staff under oppressive conditions in France, then came to Louisiana where his uncle lived at the time. Tommy then moved to San Francisco and changed his name to Wiseau.

Trans people are an inherent rebellion against this dude's (and patriarchy's) conception of the natural order of things. It's the miscegenation of our time. Scratch that, people still complain about miscegenation, just a bit more privately. It's the miscegenation that you can complain about publicly since gay marriage seems to not rile people up as much anymore.

just transgender bashing as part of institutionalized sexism. from a male perspective, being a woman is the worst thing - this is why you call a man a pussy, bitch, or oval office if you want to start a fight. sleeping with a man makes you a woman - this is why social scientists often have to refer to "men who have sex with men" instead of homosexual or bisexual, in order to not offend men who sleep with other men in a bro way, no gay stuff. transgender women are actually secret men who trap you into being gay, therefore they are bad. it's pretty straightforward so long as you remember that men freaked out about transpeople typically think that women are inferior to men

But man like the real world is more complicated than like your classroom. There's more ways to provide consent than verbally. Like there was this one girl who passed out drunk behind a dumpster and that was clearly her way of saying she was into me.

Really if you never acquired the ability to kill someone stone dead at any moment you're basically consenting to having sex with them.

Did anyone post this? I just found it while Googling for articles on the YouTube Right after stumbling upon a video by that Tara chick (one of the Racist Barbies) speaking with some guy named Mark Citadel. Was looking for articles to see if anything substantial has been written on the endless droves of awful that is YouTube politics.

It's an interesting read.

I love when people use the argument that we don't treat schizophrenic or other mentally ill people by telling them they're right, so why would we do that with trans people? Because the answer is "we would if it worked". I've pointed this out a few times and they either just quit talking to me or go on a bad faith "thinking you're another gender IS the mental illness" rant and I realize I can ignore them. I have had one person have a lightbulb moment though.

quote:

By ?:

Let this sink in for a minute.....Hundreds and hundreds of small boats pulled by countless pickups and SUVs from across the South are headed for Houston. Almost all of them driven by men. They're using their own property, sacrificing their own time, spending their own money, and risking their own lives for one reason: to help total strangers in desperate need.

Most of them are by themselves. Most are dressed like the redneck duck hunters and bass fisherman they are. Many are veterans. Most are wearing well-used gimme-hats, t-shirts, and jeans; and there's a preponderance of camo. Most are probably gun owners, and most probably voted for Trump.

These are the people the Left loves to hate, the ones Maddow mocks. The ones Maher and Olbermann just *know* they're so much better than.

These are The Quiet Ones. They don't wear masks and tear down statues. They don't, as a rule, march and demonstrate. And most have probably never been in a Whole Foods.

But they'll spend the next several days wading in cold, dirty water; dodging gators and water moccasins and fire ants; eating whatever meager rations are available; and sleeping wherever they can in dirty, damp clothes. Their reward is the tears and the hugs and the smiles from the terrified people they help. They'll deliver one boatload, and then go back for more.

When disaster strikes, it's what men do. Real men. Heroic men. American men. And then they'll knock back a few shots, or a few beers with like-minded men they've never met before, and talk about fish, or ten-point bucks, or the benefits of hollow-point ammo, or their F-150.

And the next time they hear someone talk about "the patriarchy", or "male privilege", they'll snort, turn off the TV and go to bed.

In the meantime, they'll likely be up again before dawn. To do it again. Until the helpless are rescued. And the work's done.

They're unlikely to be reimbursed. There won't be medals. They won't care. They're heroes. And it's what they do.
