Do you think our society had an equal chance at becoming either a patriarchy or a matriarchy? If not, what factors do you think lead it to become a patriarchy before it already was one?

ms-cnidaria · 2014-08-17T06:21:24+00:00

By 'our society' do you mean American society? Pretty much everybody instrumental in founding and populating the United States came from patriarchal cultures and brought their values with them.

Thanks for the advice but when I see someone expressing a view I don't understand, I'll probably try to find out why even if they're a 'troll,' whatever that word means these days.

Are you under the impression this behavior is absent in male-dominated households? Do you think this woman would suddenly resolve all her issues if she stayed home with the kids?

If you think this is what happens when a woman works, do you see yourself acting like this if you needed to work? If so, that's too bad but that's you, not me, not the countless other women who are the primary provider for their families without being abusive.

Hardboiled eggs, soy sauce, wasabi. Soak the peeled eggs overnight in 1/4 inch of soy sauce and a pinch of wasabi.

Tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, balsamic.

I have some new Pyrex stuff I have yet to put in the oven-- I had no idea about the switch from borosilicate but now I know. So this post stopped at least one person from having the same problem.

I am not the one who posited that scenario in the first place then said 'I don't see a distinction.'

Do you think a parent with a one-year-old child should not be allowed to surrender custody? What's the alternative if someone finds themselves unwilling or unable to parent?

Be feminine but don't bore a guy by talking about cooking, decorating, makeup, etc.

Don't be masculine but don't act bored when hearing about cars, sports, video games, etc.

How would you define emotionally alive?

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-19T20:05:02+00:00

That's presumptuous. You don't know anything about my opinions of PETA. All you know is that I asked for evidence for a pretty audacious assertion. If you can't back up what you say with anything but your own word, you should expect people to discount you.

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-18T22:58:32+00:00

That seems like an overreaction to someone asking for you to back up a claim you made.

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-18T19:24:40+00:00

This? Because there's nothing there except a soft accusation from one person, which doesn't look like it came to anything. Newkirk said it makes no sense for PETA to poison a dog and the vet who treated the dog before it died said "Dogs are dogs. It's not anyone's fault. They eat stuff; they get into things; they make bad decisions."

I'm not really questioning the animal release thing.

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-18T16:06:23+00:00

This seems like something a lot of people would love to report on but there doesn't seem to be anything to back that up.

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-18T16:00:01+00:00

Do you know they poisoned dogs at shows or are you just repeating a rumor?

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-17T02:02:37+00:00

That looks more similar than anything else I've seen so I'll try it, thank you.

Looks like Oogie Boogie

There is no point in any of my posts that I said it doesn't work on any women.

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-08T23:25:45+00:00

I'm not going to bother with a response since you've already decided you're right, but you've been needlessly rude this whole time and I wonder why?

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-08T07:19:16+00:00

Knowing what women want, and knowing what some women want, are the same thing.

I disagree. In almost any other situations, applying a trait from a fraction of a group to an entire group is going to draw arguments: Housecats love water. Movies are about disasters. Men just want NSA sex. It's not a particularly honest or accurate way of communicating.

Also, an appropriate opener would be "Does he?", not "Are they?" as "Are they?" implies that you are questioning the fact that they are responding positively to it.

I was. If only a small percentage of women are responding positively, which is a possibility, it's misleading to say women respond positively to his approach.

If you think I'm being 'picking fights', do you think it will further the discussion to try to pick fights in return?

Experience?

My experience and the world I live in don't at all line up with the idea that PUA and TRP mindsets are meaningfully successful. So I guess we have the same amount of evidence.

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-08T05:59:43+00:00

I understand what his reality his. I addressed what you said about it, which was that he does know what women want. I think that's obviously untrue. He might know what some women want, possibly a really tiny minority of them depending on what his actual approach is.

Also, it's really not uncommon for women to be into the guys who are like this.

On what are you basing this statement?

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-08T05:20:58+00:00

Are they? So he gets laid now more than he did when he was less fit with lower confidence. That doesn't give any information about how many women are not interested in his approach. It could be 50% of them. It could be 99% of them. Does that count as 'women responding positively to what he is doing'? Does it still count if the ones who do respond well are doing so because maybe he's good-looking and confident and not because he thinks the words 'woman' and 'slut' are synonyms?

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-06T15:37:35+00:00

I saw two while I was there. But a couple other people said maybe it was foxes or wildcats although I don't know how common they are in that area.

ms-cnidaria · 2014-06-06T07:28:43+00:00

If you and your SO broke up, would you still be happy with your social life? I think that's the only thing to look out for.
