    here:


    "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)"

    [Chorus:]
    That, that dude looks like a lady
    That, that dude looks like a lady
    That, that dude looks like a lady
    That, that dude looks like a lady

    Cruise into a bar on the shore
    Her picture graced the grime on the door
    She's a long lost love at first bite
    Baby maybe you're wrong but you know it's all right
    That's right

    That, that
    That, that

    Backstage we're havin' the time
    Of our lives until somebody say
    Forgive me if I seem out of line
    Then she whipped out her gun and tried to blow me away!

    [Chorus]

    Never judge a book by it's cover
    Or who you gonna love by your lover
    Sayin' love put me wise to her love in disguise
    She had the body of a Venus, Lord imagine my surprise.

    [Chorus]

    So baby let me follow you down (let me take a peek dear)
    Baby let me follow you down (do me, do me, do me all night)
    Baby let me follow you down (turn the other cheek dear)
    Baby let me follow you down (do me, do me, do me, do me)

    Ooh, what a funky lady
    Ooh, she like it, like it, like it, like that.
    Ooh, he was a lady!

    [Chorus 2x]

    Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
    Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
    Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
    Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady

    wear fedora: sorry if you don't like what it means, get judged, them's the breaks, suck it up.

    wear microskirt and strappy red 6in heels: how dare you judge, you can't assume something just by how a person dresses, that's appalling



    hmm

    Did anyone in chat say either of these

    Come onnnn

    The first one? yes!

    The second one? Not recently.


    What I find interesting is that, despite everything I've said over the years about my stance on women's rights and everything my wife and daughter have said about that, people are assuming my problem is with the second sentence instead of with the first one.


    And taking me to task for it.



    That's pretty fucking lame.

    No, you absolutely have a problem with the first part

    The point being made is that the two are very different, and the comparison is faulty

    hmm

    maybe

    I feel like judging someone for dressing like a hooker isn't any different from judging someone for dressing like Mr. Milady.
    But I suppose my opinions on this are a lot more complex because at the same time I think people ought not be identified as terrible (or slutty or prudish or nerdy or sleazy) because of their dress, I also think that appropriate dress for occasion is a thing that has social value and ought to be retained. Inherent in that is judging someone for failing to hit the mark, or for disregarding convention.

    hmm.

    I would not think a lady is a slut because she's dressed provocatively, but I would think that a lady was an idiot for wearing a pencil skirt and heels to a 4th of July BBQ and bonfire held in the back pasture of the neighbor's farm.

    I will certainly aquaman-face people lacking fanciness at the fancy dinner! But I wouldn't think every fedora at pax was a badge of shame.

    The problem isn't people silently judging a woman for dressing "sluttily".

    The problem is people assaulting women for dressing "sluttily".

    No I think the first one is a problem too, at least in some contexts.

    The contexts aren't the same at all.

    If you want to justify why it's oh so terrible to make fun of someone wearing a fedora then do that. Don't try to make an analogy with some other different thing.

    The thing that irks me the most about the race riots currently brewing is that Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are absolutely worthless glory hogs that have been using the misery of others for their personal profit. Yet somehow the media deemed them as the kings of the black people. It's so frustrating. Like these out of touch goofs are being looked at as representatives of such a large swatch of people. It be dumb.

    Jackson ended up in that role because he was seen as a more charismatic leader and there was a lot of resentment to Ralph Abernathy. Honestly after the death of MLK, that charge would have been laid at the feet of anyone heading up the SLCC including Jackson. And there was a fair amount of push within the Black community and the SLCC for Jackson to be the new face of the movement.

    when i lived in DC, my black neighbors had really ambivalent feelings about jackson and sharpton

    they liked that they were able to throw their weight around and get white people to pay attention, like they were important

    but every story about them painted them as being stuck up assholes who didn't really care about black people but just used them as a way to glorify themselves

    like, you know, jesse jackson wouldn't even deign to talk to a waiter when ordering - his assistant did that - but then he'd go outside and hug an orphan in front of cameras

    honestly i think black folks and white folks have pretty similar opinions about jesse jackson

    I support the ever ceasing ouroboros because it is necessary to create better and better iterations of social justice values but the ability and propensity for incredibly young and historically ignorant queer people to froth at the mouth about concepts that they know little of is a very sad thing that I don't think should be encouraged.

    You guys might find this interesting.

    A look at the lawyers who bring cases before the Supreme Court

    Guess it is a shrinking number of lawyers. They say 43% of cases are presented by the same 1% of lawyers. Many with connections to the justices themselves.

    They talked to 8 Justices with only one not commenting being Roberts. They see efficient and effective representation better than diversity when it comes to promoting the law.

    I mean it is an interesting argument. In a way it makes sense. Many of these lawyers know how to present an effective case to the court to rule on. But at the same diversity means a diversity on what is being ruled on and against or for who.

    Also heard it on the Kojo Nnamdi show and there were some good points there. It is worth a listen if you time.

    I mean, as long as I'm fantasizing, they could stand to tighten up ME2. The recruitment and loyalty stuff (which, to be fair, is the real heart of the game) is great but the main plot has some weird hinks.

    Oh, and it would be rad if they went with their original design (which the game still has all the content for, just locked away on the disc!) where all the recruitment options were available right from the beginning, so you could, for instance, recruit Legion before Garrus or whatever. There are whole dialogue exchanges and scenes that exist in a basically complete state but can only be seen if you haxxor the game files to allow this.

    yes it's a very unfortunate and baffling problem amongst some gays. I guess that we're 'allowed' to be mean to women or something.

    i mean at the end of the day, sexual attraction tends to drive social interest, even just subconsciously. from that particular angle, women don't have much to offer gay guys. it's easy i think to just think "why are these people i am not interested in showing up and making things about them?!"

    there is also the whole "hag" phenomenon where self-loathing ladies seek out gay guys for company and end up being kind of pitied and tolerated and that probably drives attitudes too.

    and also spurned aggressive sexual interest seems to be a big component of straight dude misogyny.

    yeah I am sort of bad at this. my best friend is a lady and I love her but uh

    if I'm going to be honest i'm much better at remembering the names of men and things about them because I find them sexually interesting. even if i'm not attracted to them at all. which is something I hate admitting about myself but there you go. on the other hand I am very good friends with some ladies because I feel I can get close to them and not have to worry about falling for them. That hasn't happened to me with a straight dude in a long time, but it's still a concern.

    I don't really have any gay friends except for gays I've met on the boards, and I think a big part of that is that I can't deal with someone who might want to sleep with me and I might actually want to sleep with them back, especially if I'm with a dude i'm probably going to marry. It's just a tension I've avoided like the plague most of my life, and oddly enough it's served me quite well.

    but If i'm going to put on my psychologist hat, I would say some gays hate women because they grew up falling for dudes who like women, and they feel that the women (who sometimes cheat, are bad partners, and don't like having giving sex - just like men) don't deserve the dudes they spend so many years pining for.

    But his attitude towards trans and bi folk is classic terrible.

    It caused some dialogue at least. Honestly, I get way more bisexual erasure from straight women now then I do gay guys. Also the straight women all seem to assume that being bi means I'm some sort of stealth gay who just wants to be seen as straight. If so, they don't appear to understand what stealth means.

    i think this is a problem with progressives in general.

    like, social justice is about incremental progress. that's how it happens. but of course even the most liberal of people will find their values calcifying as they age, having been informed by the fights of their youth. it's probably better IMO to cut these people a little slack

    but then again if it weren't a neverending cycle of nasty infighting and backbiting it wouldn't be progressive culture.

    I'd wonder if the same is vaguely true at most specialist or higher courts. Chambers in London especially could be bad for this, but then small jurisdictions also suffer.
