Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Allyson, get out of my head!

Holy crap! Really? I'm so frustrated at the sense of entitlement, and that there's now a "forced loneliness" movement that blames feminism for men who live in mommy's basement. You see, if it weren't for feminism, more women would need these creepy guys in order to you know, have a roof over their heads. Because women don't have to completely rely on men for shelter, these men are now FORCED to be lonely. WOE.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, the whole PUA bugs the hell out of me.

I think I'm just searching for the reason. Why don't they understand that women are people?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

suggests that a great way to pick up a woman is by insulting her.

I think the insult is supposed to be more of a tease. I don't actually have a problem with that one, as it is how I picked up my ex-husband. He was demonstrating a toy he designed at the Children's Museum. I went up to him and said "You have to work on your delivery when you talk to the kids. You sound positively malign." I literally saw his eyes light up with interest after that.

That being said, although I think the whole PUA thing a just like the Rules, in that it preaches a weird one-size-fits-all method for bending someone to your will. The whole thing is really skeevey.

A new species of giant carnivorous plant has been discovered in the highlands of the central Philippines.

How long until there's a movie on Skiffy? I say 2 months.

Dunno. Maybe they've never been forced to grow up? Like there are some men who never mature beyond what they were like at age 19?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Why don't they understand that women are people?

I chalk it up to inherent selfishness. If they have to treat women like human beings, then they can't just take what they want when they want it. Essentially, they're 3-year-olds with the sexual equipment of adults.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why are you guys trying to give me a rage attack?!?!?

Here's what kills me the most about the healthcare terror thing: Have none of these people been denied coverage by their private healthcare company? Because a shitload of people are, every day. Because your insurance company is a money-making enterprise. They don't actually care about your care! Christ, I'm going to get all ragey on that, and I haven't even gotten to the PUA thing.

Punishingly Intricate

amongst my people-with-HIV friends, there's genuine fear that that they will be targeted for "forced euthanasia" in some new Evil Empire State Controlled Healthcare system.

Uh..seriously? Why would they believe that nonsense? I seriously don't understand how someone who isn't a complete idiot would believe it.

Why don't they understand that women are people?

Not as important a kind of people as a man who can't get some. der

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR was kind of relaxed but now am full of rage again!

Yeah, I was about to say 19 year olds may not be respectful all the time, but should at least have a clear idea of the personhood of people they're trying to ask out.
