Dafuq?

I get what she's trying to say, but it just sounds like a convoluted and somewhat misguided way to say she's pro choice. (That's the correct term, right?)

Pretty much yeah. All she needs to do is say she's pro-choice. She doesn't need to declare that men don't have the right to talk about their view on women's rights.

Also, why is Gorgro a floating monocole and moustache?

I thought it was time for a change and this classy square just felt right.

Honestly I expected an outrage, this is my first non-raptor avatar since about two weeks after I joined the original Daisy Owl forum.

I assume the raptor is still there, cleverly camouflaged within the grey...[]

Fuck Cicero and his use of qui quae quod.

Having Latin trouble? Wish I could help, but I didn't go to a fancy school that offered it...[]

Sophomore college class at the nearby university. Fucking speeches, man.

The problem comes in when I'm used to translating poetry, and now suddenly I'm translating spoken prose. I regularly had to search through five lines before finding the verb, then going back and translating all the bits between. Now the verb is five words from the start of the sentence, and it then begins all these subclauses and junk. Just very different. Also I realized aliquis loses the ali- after si, and that was my mistake.

This is why Latin is a dead language. []

Yeah, except in, you know, Science, Medicine, Mathmatics, Music....

Terminology is a separate matter; nobody writes treatises in Latin anymore. So long as you know common roots, you're fine. []

Back to school was today. It was alright, I had a pretty good time.
TTBM: My best friend's grandmother died, a sweet, artistic and kind woman whose two strokes had reduced her to a shuffling dependent.
TTBM2: My dad is angry or frustrated or something.

TTBM: I didn't exactly know where this should go, so I put it here, because DEAR GOD ALMIGHTY.

What scares me the most is that there are some women out there who WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.

Spoilered because of a feminist's horrible and NSFW dream of the future. It is impossible for a guy to fully read this without closing his legs.

Spoiler:

Problem with that (other than THE OBVIOUS!!!!!) is that after the first generation, the whole species dies out, because no male will be able to reach breeding age with equipment intact...I mean, if you're that misandrist, why not just castrate all males at birth? Or better yet, why not just prevent any males from being born. As we all know. all invertebrate embryos are inherently female; they simply require the proper hormones during development to make them male. Why not simply deny them that?


...oh wait, now I'm into the plot of Jurassic Park...[]

Ah, equality by demanding obedience and control, classic crazy feminist.

*shudders* I don't feel good....

I refuse to believe that that is meant in all seriousness, or at the very least, is true, but only notable because the smallest possible percentage of dumb and very extreme extremists believe in it.
She says she believes in "True Equality" but this, of course, is not so. She considers her belief "factual" based on her research, despite the fact that it shouldn't have taken her too long to figure out something like what JT posted. She also says that many man who refuses to be castrated should be "murdered." Now, the word "Murdered" tends to imply that the person doing the killing is wrong to do so, so, if she really believed that it would be right to kill a man for not wanting to be castrated, she would use a term like "executed," as that implies that the one doing the killing is right to do so.

In summary, I refuse to believe that there are people in this world who are that batshit. Or at least, I refuse to believe that there are more than 100 people in the world who are that batshit.

How many people believe in scientology? []

Hell, Scientology is kitten chow compared to that level of crazy. This is straight up Westboro Baptist Church, AKA the "god hates fags, thank god for 9/11" shitheads.

What.
The.
Fuck.

I'm all for equality and even feminism, but holy shit. This is creepy and messed up.

Yup, there's some crazy people out there.
Could be serious, who knows. I'm willing to believe there's a few people out there that crazy.

I think the far more important threat to male equality is the way the law is skewed with a female bias, particularly in regards to punishment, rape, children and divorce.

They have a cafe at the Church of Scientology next to the Essendon tram depot; I've heard they do good coffee.

I don't think he means it in that way, Zeb.
