AITA for using feminine products when my girlfriend doesn’t like itquote:Context I (22 cis male) have been using feminine products (woman’s perfume, lotion, and soap) since I was young. My mom was all about good hygiene, so I just used my mom stuff. With that I also wear a little bit of makeup that wasnt what i was expecting when OP said "feminine products"

I'm still thinking about trampoline dog. What a good dog. My childhood dog was kind of the opposite, in that if you were on the trampoline he'd get underneath it and jump up at you and bark from below. Really added to the thrill.

If he was assigned male at birth and identifies as male, he’s cis, regardless of clothing, makeup, or hygiene.

All men should learn about smoothing out their skin tone and how to put on concealer. There's a reason ever single male actor goes through hair and make-up and they aren't all coming out looking like a Queer Eye makeover.

Nah, I think it's still correct because he's describing his orientation not his way of expressing himself.

Companies eventually figured out that if cishet men were encouraged to engage in the most minimal grooming habits occasionally without being told it meant they were no longer heterosexual then they could sell them body wash and facial scrubs and stuff too and double their profits. El Spamo posted:Nah, I think it's still correct because he's describing his orientation not his way of expressing himself. It is still correct. Cis/trans is gender identity, though. Het/gay/bi/etc is orientation. AITA for getting mad at my friend for farting on my bed? quote:I (F17) was hanging out with a family friend (M16) in my room. ( just to be clear the door was open and he’s like a cousin to me, so nothing of that nature was going on). He was sitting on the edge/side of my bed. I was sitting in a chair across from the bed and we were talking about something when I saw a look come across his face. I heard a rumble and he winced and said “my bad”. It smelled so bad and it was really gross for him to do on my bed. He said by time he knew it was coming it was too late for him to get up, but that doesn’t really make any sense to me. I made him get up and I put my cover in the wash. I’m easily grossed out by stuff like that and I really don’t want to go to bed and think about my body lying on the spot he just ripped rear end on, but he’s acting extremely embarrassed about it. I seriously don’t get why, if he did it why would he found it embarrassing for me to think it’s gross.AITA?

Yeah it's all kind of fucky tho because living in a society that rather arbitrarily assigns gender values to modes of expression and activities muddies the waters and brings up the dilemma of "do we try to legitimize, celebrate, and destigmatize the male expression of traditionally female things in a patriarchy that views such things as 'less then' (particularly when expressed/performed by a man), or do we just try to decouple them from notions of 'male' and 'female' to begin with? I recently baked a big batch of chocolate chip cookies while drinking a beer while watching Robocop while wearing one of my girlfriend's spare sarongs because gently caress Australian summers. What gender was I performing, or does that question just sound faintly ridiculous?

She talked to him like he was actually Edward from Twilight and he thought she might be actually insane. A bit late, but Patterson is also responsible for tooling the Edward spin-off movie. He said that Meyer gave him an early copy of the book, and it was bat-poo poo insane and nothing he wanted to be a part of, and then "mysteriously" the early copy leaked to the press, so she called it off.

What gender was I performing, or does that question just sound faintly ridiculous? Sarongs are a great example. In India, for example, men and women both wear them, so they don't have a gendered association, but I gather from context this is not true in Australia. Associations can also be changed over time, like many women wear pants in everyday life so they have over the last 100 years or so lost their association of being a masculine object and now are neutral like a watch or hat. This is the ideal for all things. The analogy I like to use when talking about this kind of stuff with people amenable to it and why I don't think framing innocuous poo poo this way is asking them what their political affiliation is and before they can answer telling them they can only select Cavalier or Roundhead. If they say they don't know what those are and they were going to say a third thing, or they're a history buff and know them but say their own values take parts of both groups or is a third completely unrelated thing, then I say "great, that's gender. That's how some people feel about male and female." AITA for asking someone to stop watching a movie quote:Before saying YTA please read through.

Wearing sarongs, robes, tunics and other loose fitting clothes from non-anglo, hot climate cultures really needs to be destigmatised, because, as a guy who sweats with slightest provocation, gently caress Australian summers.

mediaphage posted:the only good pranks are things like the magic maple syrup bottle In a similar vein, I was recently thinking of a gag gift my aunt and uncle gave me as a high school graduation present. Since I was moving from the desert to Portland they got me a set of really good raingear, the kind of thing you use for arctic ocean storms and hurricanes. They ran a clothing company at the time, so it was the Family Brand. Funny, sentimental, and (eventually) useful all at the same time. Still has a space in my closet and has held up if I ever need it. That's a good kind of prank.
