What men are afraid of is being gay. Sexuality research suggests that sexual preference is a spectrum, not a binary. So it's common to have same sex attractions. Our culture will instill that being gay is the worst, before you even know what gay is. It's also shockingly common for boys to be sexually victimized.

Many men question their sexuality. Now add in the nonsense of reactionary gender rolls with strict and rigid religious dogma and it's no wonder. Being anti-gay is loudly signaling no-homo to the world.

This also explains why closeted gay reactionaries are the most zealous inquisitors. From their puzzle-piece perspective, indulging in gay sex is like openly committing a felony and getting away with it. Of course they hate the openly queer.

Fair, but who got a speaking role with liv Tyler?

There are few things more useless than arguing over language. The problem with our billionaire space race isn't the branding.

Some people act like the editors of the dictionary can bend reality like the force, Green Lantern ring, and the Infinity Stones all rolled into one.

misogyny. I'm not saying it causes the most death and harm (though it may), just that I've never met or heard of any dangerous ideology where misogyny wasn't a core element.

Feminism inoculates against fascism.

This is exactly right. People don't wan to change, even if the new way is demonstrably superior. Look at the adoption of the Metric system in England and the (almost) adoption in the US.

I thought KF got banned a couple of years ago. How the heck can they tell a fed user is on KF?

If you have bugs coming from outside, you can hire an exterminator to spray around the premier of your home to keep them out. If you've got an infestation, you're going to have to deal with that. You can't protect just your computer, without sealing it behind plastic or something.

Self defense is a fantasy of control. If you want to eliminate threats to yourself rationally, eat more vegetables, take care of your mental health, and drive carefully.

Linux fanatics

I'd rather be a fanatic than a revenue stream with Stockholm syndrome.

Not be Russel Brand.

"Guilty until proven innocent" is a rule for the government, not for me. If you disagree, please explain your feelings about the unfair treatment of the innocent non-murderer OJ Simpson.

This is exactly what a rapist would do.

And what is her fault? She likes getting money for nothing?

Maybe she should just be polite, agreeable, and allow gooners their fantasies of possessing her free of charge. That worked so well for Marylin Monroe.

Right Wing Women by Dworkin.

Honestly a hard read. The usual esoteric language we expect from academics, mixed with a confrontational/ polemic writing style. It would be easy to dismiss her as the stereotypical fire-breathing man-hating lesbian radical feminist if it weren't for how compelling her arguments are.

If M$ was smart, they'd develop a version of Windows optimized for gaming. But they can't do that without implying that desktop Windows is inferior for games.

The crazy thing about this story is that people will look at this and think there is something wrong with her.

I just wan to add to this, in South Carolina's deceleration of secession they refer to themselves and their allies not as confederate, or Southern, but as the "Slaveholding" states.

In the first document of the Confederacy, they self-identified as slavers. Which is why "Confederate" is too much respect. Call them by their name.

Oh, I see now. This is actually pretty cool then.

There’s a difference between enabler and maximizer.

Yea, everyone knows. And it's a painful choice to make regardless of your decision. I resent the conditions that doom us to choose between a cop and a gangster.
