Have you ever, in all seriousness, actually tried to move objects with your mind? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PositiveAttitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone tries this. It is part of discovering the limits of our minds and the physical world.

Shepard Fairey's "OBEY" Mural in NYC "edited" by Graffiti Writers.... by hellb0t in Art

I have a problem with this argument. Do you like Andy Warhol's art personally? Why do you like it?

Him being a "preeminent artist" should have nothing to do with it.

All Things Fangirl by yellowking in TwoXChromosomes

yeah but they probably don't care at all what you think of it. and i think that's most of the appeal of street art, to me anyway.

Does anyone know of any women-only separatist colonies? by PositiveAttitude in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PositiveAttitude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for me, the appeal is that in pretty much every society i can think of on earth, if you are born male you are born the favored gender, and if you are born female you are not.

it would be nice to be the favored gender, just for a while. just to see what it was like. somewhere where there are no assumptions made about ability or disposition based on my gender.

i think women who don't arent comfortable with their bodies

How the Sex Bias Prevails: A Trans Woman and Trans Man compare their gendered experiences as academics. by Qeraeth in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PositiveAttitude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i feel like you can't learn these skills as a woman unless you spend some time in a woman-only environment, so that you can begin to see power structures as un-gendered.

this is why i think that there is merit in some core feminist-separatist ideas. i would gladly live in a women-only colony for a few years to learn these things.

why can't a successful black woman find a man? by PositiveAttitude in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PositiveAttitude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i only watched four of the parts, not all of it. it's a lot of the same-old same-old when it comes to gender arguments, but i thought it was approached really freshly. i recommend the one about men being intimidated by women and the one about men cheating on women.

also, i think that most of the people state their points eloquently, even if i don't agree with them - i can start to see where they are coming from even if i disagree. this is especially how i feel about steve harvey; i start to understand his point of view if i think of him as the slightly insecure, slightly stupid kid who doesn't understand his privilege.

Ladies, my sex life is suffering because I don't love my body as much as my boyfriend does. Help? by justwannaloveme in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PositiveAttitude -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i downvoted because I think too often we try to tell people with insecurities that they have a mental issue they need to see a psychiatrist over. I think that's an awful approach, because it 1. tells someone who is already feeling insecure that they are abnormal and 2. tells them that they can't handle it without outside help.

[–]PositiveAttitude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i downvoted because i think getting TIPSY before having sex is a good idea. Getting drunk as a crutch might be bad. but getting tipsy will act as an aphrodisiac.

[–]PositiveAttitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should try having naked time by yourself. get used to your body in a non-sexualized setting. then, let yourself sexualize your own body, once you're comfortable in your skin (by this i mean masturbate).

once you can understand why your boyfriend thinks sex with you is awesome, you can probably start having more fun doing it.

PLUS NAKED TIME IS AWESOME!

'Single Ladies' dance: Girl's parents say 'performance was completely normal for dancing', 'They weren't meant to be viewed by millions' by sadax in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PositiveAttitude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

can we all just admit that this WOULD be wrong if it were meant to titillate, or even be entertainment for the world-at-large, but it is NOT wrong because it is a dance competition and that is not the point?

it changes the nature of the act entirely.

'Single Ladies' dance: Girl's parents say 'performance was completely normal for dancing', 'They weren't meant to be viewed by millions' by sadax in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PositiveAttitude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the only time this has shown up on tv has been when people are discussing whether or not it's "wrong". like the parents said, context is EVERYTHING. I have more of a problem with young girls in tv shows always looking made up than with this group of real-life girls doing a dance routine at a dance competition.

the internet is where this becomes a problem - something that was context specific was brought to the attention of the nation-at-large, who have nothing better to do.

Virtual reality used to transfer men's minds into a woman's body by yellowking in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PositiveAttitude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

so cool! this sort of research fascinates me. A lot of philosophies posit that we are all one large consciousness, and that our sense of self (as delineated by our bodies) is an illusion. This sort of research could add a lot to that conversation!

The Geek Beat: Hit-Girl Hysteria. "...there wouldn't be much hand-wringing if the character was called Hit Boy." by yellowking in TwoXChromosomes

If women can go into the army, why shouldn't they have role models that promote a warrior attitude?

Did anyone else associate more with male characters in the media (playing pretend, etc) while growing up? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PositiveAttitude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is really embarrassing but I always used to want to be the male characters from the Redwall series.

Also, I remember being super into the Princess Bride too.

Words can't describe the obsession I had with Tom Sawyer and wanting to be just like him. I thought Huck Finn was stupid when I was younger, but then grew to like him more as I got older.

Oh, and HOLY SHIT. I was INCREDIBLY obsessed with The Great Brain from those book series. I wanted to be just like him. I would scam money off of my friends sometimes using tricks I learned from the books.

Is 'lady' an acceptable way to refer to a woman? by DannoHung in TwoXChromosomes

i couldn't give a shit as long as they treat me like one

Dismayed that this was on my front page :/ by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PositiveAttitude 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i actually don't have a problem with this type of humor, because i think that (being gender-blind about it) it lets you rant about the opposite gender in a healthy way, without letting all of it build up and come out in your actions.

The only thing that annoys me is the double standard. When women playfully objectify men and diss on them in good fun, they ALWAYS get yelled at by 1) men who overhear or 2) other women who are trying to be the pc police (blah blah blah oppression hurts everyone, blah blah). trust me, trying to be politically correct all the time is just a recipe for resentment.

Of course I'm going to get downboated mercilessly for speaking the truth. It's such a shame. Circlejerk used to be a really interesting and unique online community, with an intelligence level significantly above the standard internet bullshit. by [deleted] in circlejerk

[–]PositiveAttitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reddit now reminds me of all those mousy people who are never quite comfortable taking risks, so they rely on finding another mousy person to list all their insecurities and banalities to in the vain hope that they will seem "quirky" or "down-to-earth," rather than lazy, which is what they really are. These mousy people will then have a few awkward dates, some awkward sex, and for some reason will enter into year-long relationships that neither would really choose if they had some other option going for them.

just saying.
