tho to be honest a lot of gay dudes have nastily dismissive sorts of attitudes towards women that doesn't usually register as "misogyny" but probably should
yeah, it's still misogyny, just a completely different kind
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.

paul lynde got big laughs on hollywood squares in the 70s with his answer to this question.
Q: When a sailor falls off a boat into the ocean, nautical tradition dictates that anyone witnessing the event call out "man overboard!" What does one say when a woman falls off a boat?
A: Full speed ahead!
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.
I think it's pretty obvious why people think that when you say that? You are totally setting yourself up by presenting them as two equivalent statements or at least parallel statements.
Like, if there was a Mass Effect Keep type thing. Holy shit I would play through ME2 and 3 again right now.
But no, and fuck me if I'm gonna take the default world state. Cause its all the worst things.
@cptrugged there is not a mass effect keep (yet! I bet you real money that is going to change before the year of our lord 2015 is out!) but if you don't mind rebuying ME2 and 3 for PC, google "mass effect savegames" or "save states"; there are a ton of sites that host ME1 saves and have them meticulously broken down by every single possible decision. not just the big stuff like the Rachni, but things like "found the matriarch writings" and "let rana thanoptis go on virmire." just download the savegame, import into ME2, change the face to be how you want, and you're off to the races. you might be able to use a hex editor to change the first name if that's important to you as well.
Hmmmmmm.....
I'm not a fan of re-buying things as I console'd these. But I will keep this in mind for the future if the urge strikes me. Thanks!
You can rebuy at least ME3 for like 6 bucks.
At least you could yesterday.

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 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.

ME2 and 3 are pretty much "free to play" games. You can get the base game for next to nothing if you look around. But that sweet sweet DLC adds up fast.
I don't think they say "and I don't think dudes should ever look like ladies or that people we formerly thought were dudes should ever turn out to be ladies"
but I only know the words to the song that are in the title

the whole story reminds me of last week when i fell asleep with paint in my hair and woke up just full on guido
every strand of hair was vertical
i saw myself in the mirror and laughed hysterically
worlds least orange guido right here
one time i saw the orangest guido dude at a brunch place whose hair was so spiked up it looked like one of those onion-head hats
he was wearing a muscle tee and his jeans were a little baggy and acidwashed and just shredded. like, there were a few strings in front holding them together but it just looked like someone had set a bomb off inside each leg.

Also there are persistent rumors of an ME trilogy HD rerelease/remake for the Bone/PS4 console generation so it's possible that ME1 might be getting a welcome facelift and some gameplay overhauled.
If they basically brought the first two games' shooting up to the standard of the third and maybe (cough) rewrote a few key sequences in ME3 I would gladly pay the tall dollar

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

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.
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 think it's a lot different given that there isn't a push and pull of judging women on their appearance while simultaneously judging them for their appearance when they try and dress in a sexy manner that applies to men in the same way.
"dressing like a hooker" is also about as extreme as a fedora hat WITH greasy unkempt hair AND a heinous anti-lady shirt.

but I only know the words to the song that are in the title

It also has to do with how I in particular think of people who are trans.
I never thought of them as ladies who were dudes (if they are a trans lady). I just think they are ladies. Sometimes, I think that I overlook the trans part of trans lady though, failing to recognize the inherent differences among ladies.
But I figured I'm probably halfway to where I should be, and I've got down the most important part..I think.
So when I think dude that looks like a lady, it can't possibly be someone who is trans. Because those are ladies that...look like ladies. They aren't dudes, except in the non gendered sense of dudes, in which case, all the ones I know are dudes of the coolest order.

When New England pass rusher Rob Ninkovich pulverized Luck last month in a Patriots’ 42-20 win, he got the customary congratulations. As Ninkovich tells it, he found himself paralyzed with confusion by the well-wishes, so he blurted out “Thanks for...uh...accepting that hit?” before running back to the huddle.

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.
