Focusing on grammar rather than the argument is the easiest way to be dismissive and deflect away from the discussion and that's why "not all men" is a thing. It's a tactic. And it's obnoxious.

If I want to say "I do not love penguins," and I leave out the word 'not,' it's entirely reasonable for somebody to misunderstand what I MEANT to say, because I actually said something entirely different.

I definitely think women are cool and worthy of respect. Women face many varied problems, and it sucks, and we should all try and do better as a society. These are my beliefs. edit: Phlegmish posted:Don't let the PYF tear drinkers trick you into revealing details about your personal life, come on dude. It sounds like you have serious issues going on.

Yeah, I support that edit (but you should also like, honestly consider a therapist or something, I'm a little worried about the legal issues you've got going on there with your mom and a confidential place to talk it might be wise)

My uncle, thankfully by marriage to my aunt and not any biological relation, used to call my kindergarten-age cousin a "little human being" for running around the house in briefs. Which of course his mother had bought for him, because he was a loving child who had no say over his underwear, and I don't think they even make kid-sized boxers. That cousin's in middle school now, and needless to say has some issues. I'm really hoping my cousin turns out gay, because gently caress that uncle.

I think it would be better if your uncle turns out to be gay and your cousin bullies him for it for eighteen years.

Tired Moritz posted:have you guys thought of writing scripts for gay porn I think of stories for porn, but it always evolves into setups for bigger things. Like my story about a small-breasted woman who meets a man who bullied her in school for being flat. She ends up alone with him and challenged him that he wouldn’t be horny if she strips. They end up loving of course but then I mentally added a continuation where she finds out he was an abuse victim and they end up an actual couple and help each other face life until they are married and have grandkids. Or my Dracula porn idea that ends with a vampirized Mina Harker killing Dracula and then declaring herself the new ruler of Transylvania who promises a peaceful world where vampires and humans can together, and Dracula’s liberated brides can finally become doctors and entrepreneurs.

Reminds me of the Mitchell and Webb sketch where two people share an office, and one of them writes porn for a living - Mitchell's character has a lot to keep in mind, as Webb finds out when trying it for himself due to thinking it's easy, like sponsorship - They need neutrality or sponsors will whine, she can't gently caress the Sky TV installer, because then she'll need to gently caress the TalkTalk installer, the BT installer, the Freeview man and every other TV installation company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoD6R7N1Iz4

That Dracula one almost sounds like a Jess Franco movie, only mildly interesting. So I guess, a Jean Rollin movie.

If I want to say "I do not love penguins," and I leave out the word 'not,' it's entirely reasonable for somebody to misunderstand what I MEANT to say, because I actually said something entirely different. The same is true for grammatically vague sentences. In the phrase "men get REAL upset about that" you could read an implied "all" at the beginning, but you could also read an implied "some", and it's pretty clear which of those is the more reasonable interpretation. Is this person making the extraordinary claim that there is some topic about which literally all men share a single viewpoint and response, or are they making the much more reasonable assertion that some significant number of (but not all) men react in similar ways? If you have some reason to believe that the specific person you're talking to is likely to make absurd claims of that type then it might be justified to assume they meant "all", but the vast majority of people would have intended the more reasonable of the two options. When you respond to a statement along the lines of "men do this" with "not all men" you're making the choice to interpret the statement in the least reasonable way, implying that the person who said it is unreasonable. It's just a way to discredit their argument or viewpoint without actually engaging with it.

the patriarchy is one hell of a drug. and it affects everyone. y'all men, for example, get toxic masculinity and ICE FOREST BLAST shower gel; women get rape culture and the very real fear that every man they say "no" to could kill them. in conclusion, systems of oppression are a land of contrasts.

Oy. Google Shopping (not Google Search, just Google Shopping) has long prohibited firearms sales. But today, it's gone even further, and started blocking searches for them. Only trouble is, the way it implemented this blocking was to just flat-out block any search that includes the word 'gun.' Or 'Colt.' Or a number of others. So you cannot find any Indianapolis Colts merchandise, you cannot find Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy DVDs, you cannot find glue guns, or Sex Pistols albums. http://www.businessinsider.com/google-shopping-bans-gun-searches-water-guns-guns-n-roses-2018-2
