lol, so apparently they condone bowser furry hentai unlike other animu, because reee thinks this is a breakthrough for transgender acceptance :heh As if the manbabies drawing or fapping to this would even think that far.


I don't know much about this unfunny meme trash but from my understanding Bowsette is just a female Bowser, that's it, nothing deeper than that. Why do these reeetards making it so complicated and assume that Bowser had a sex change or some shit?

I like how the most "woke" guy is called Bobo Dakes. A minor character in Watchdogs 2. A game so progressive it had their secondary black character complaining about the black struggle, whilst working at the in-game version of google. And they also killed that character.

They aren't turning on each other. Gaming side of that gaming forum has been the punching bag since the beginning, because they believe everything but a few OT topics is full of secret nazis :doge And every poster thinks of him/herself as the only woke one.

Hip-Hop is still the only genre that still has negative connotations to it meant to hinder the black community like "jungle music" lmfao

here we go, time to listen to someone on gaming side talk about rap

Yeah, you should listen to the Off Topic side, where they decided a white woman isn't allowed to be a curator of a hip hop exhibit because shes white.
Damn white women hindering the black community

He's worked at Wal-Mart for over a decade.  If you've been in retail that long and aren't in a managerial role, you're a fucking moron who probably has no real skills, and have no one to blame but yourself.  Shit, even your average low-level worker should be making a decent wage with full benefits working at a major retailer for that long.  He probably has the same shit attitude on the job as he does on ERA, so his bosses only schedule him for 10 hours a week.

If you really want to know, someone with a resetera account can find her recent post in poliera and then the response by one of the new mods. She never posts there so its easy to find.

I do not have access to the profile feature since my account was put on a break

One of my HS girlfriends tracked every time she drank, had sex or did just about anything in a little calendar.  When we first started dating she actually put "Fuck my boyfriend" on her calendar 2 days before the first time we had sex and showed it to me as a *hint hint.*

spoiler (click to show/hide)
She also fucked me at a party, told all her friends she was going to do it.. pulled me into a room in front of a cheering crowd.. I asked her specifically if it was OK to put it in, etc.. and 2 years later accused me of rape.

Well, you'd be surprised what some feminists actually believe. That said, it is not necessarily a matter of biological facts like men have a penis and women have a vagina, but also the social and cultural context in which it is viewed.

If you want an actual quote from Butler here you are:
Quote
If the immutable character of sex is contested, perhaps this construct called ‘sex’ is as culturally constructed as gender; indeed, perhaps it was always already gender, with the consequence that the distinction between sex and gender turns out to be no distinction at all.(Butler 1999, 10–11)

A more broader view of sex and gender in feminism:

Quote
Many people, including many feminists, have ordinarily taken sex ascriptions to be solely a matter of biology with no social or cultural dimension. It is commonplace to think that there are only two sexes and that biological sex classifications are utterly unproblematic. By contrast, some feminists have argued that sex classifications are not unproblematic and that they are not solely a matter of biology. In order to make sense of this, it is helpful to distinguish object- and idea-construction (see Haslanger 2003b for more): social forces can be said to construct certain kinds of objects (e.g. sexed bodies or gendered individuals) and certain kinds of ideas (e.g. sex or gender concepts). First, take the object-construction of sexed bodies. Secondary sex characteristics, or the physiological and biological features commonly associated with males and females, are affected by social practices. In some societies, females' lower social status has meant that they have been fed less and so, the lack of nutrition has had the effect of making them smaller in size (Jaggar 1983, 37). Uniformity in muscular shape, size and strength within sex categories is not caused entirely by biological factors, but depends heavily on exercise opportunities: if males and females were allowed the same exercise opportunities and equal encouragement to exercise, it is thought that bodily dimorphism would diminish (Fausto-Sterling 1993a, 218). A number of medical phenomena involving bones (like osteoporosis) have social causes directly related to expectations about gender, women's diet and their exercise opportunities (Fausto-Sterling 2005). These examples suggest that physiological features thought to be sex-specific traits not affected by social and cultural factors are, after all, to some extent products of social conditioning. Social conditioning, then, shapes our biology.

Second, take the idea-construction of sex concepts. Our concept of sex is said to be a product of social forces in the sense that what counts as sex is shaped by social meanings. Standardly, those with XX-chromosomes, ovaries that produce large egg cells, female genitalia, a relatively high proportion of ‘female’ hormones, and other secondary sex characteristics (relatively small body size, less body hair) count as biologically female. Those with XY-chromosomes, testes that produce small sperm cells, male genitalia, a relatively high proportion of ‘male’ hormones and other secondary sex traits (relatively large body size, significant amounts of body hair) count as male. This understanding is fairly recent. The prevalent scientific view from Ancient Greeks until the late 18th century, did not consider female and male sexes to be distinct categories with specific traits; instead, a ‘one-sex model’ held that males and females were members of the same sex category. Females' genitals were thought to be the same as males' but simply directed inside the body; ovaries and testes (for instance) were referred to by the same term and whether the term referred to the former or the latter was made clear by the context (Laqueur 1990, 4). It was not until the late 1700s that scientists began to think of female and male anatomies as radically different moving away from the ‘one-sex model’ of a single sex spectrum to the (nowadays prevalent) ‘two-sex model’ of sexual dimorphism. (For an alternative view, see King 2013.)

Fausto-Sterling has argued that this ‘two-sex model’ isn't straightforward either (1993b; 2000a; 2000b). She estimates that 1.7% of population fail to neatly fall within the usual sex classifications possessing various combinations of different sex characteristics (Fausto-Sterling 2000a, 20). In her earlier work, she claimed that intersexed individuals make up (at least) three further sex classes: ‘herms’ who possess one testis and one ovary; ‘merms’ who possess testes, some aspects of female genitalia but no ovaries; and ‘ferms’ who have ovaries, some aspects of male genitalia but no testes (Fausto-Sterling 1993b, 21). (In her [2000a], Fausto-Sterling notes that these labels were put forward tongue–in–cheek.) Recognition of intersexes suggests that feminists (and society at large) are wrong to think that humans are either female or male.

To illustrate further the idea-construction of sex, consider the case of the athlete Maria Patiño. Patiño has female genitalia, has always considered herself to be female and was considered so by others. However, she was discovered to have XY chromosomes and was barred from competing in women's sports (Fausto-Sterling 2000b, 1–3). Patiño's genitalia were at odds with her chromosomes and the latter were taken to determine her sex. Patiño successfully fought to be recognised as a female athlete arguing that her chromosomes alone were not sufficient to not make her female. Intersexes, like Patiño, illustrate that our understandings of sex differ and suggest that there is no immediately obvious way to settle what sex amounts to purely biologically or scientifically. Deciding what sex is involves evaluative judgements that are influenced by social factors.

Insofar as our cultural conceptions affect our understandings of sex, feminists must be much more careful about sex classifications and rethink what sex amounts to (Stone 2007, chapter 1). More specifically, intersexed people illustrate that sex traits associated with females and males need not always go together and that individuals can have some mixture of these traits. This suggest to Stone that sex is a cluster concept: it is sufficient to satisfy enough of the sex features that tend to cluster together in order to count as being of a particular sex. But, one need not satisfy all of those features or some arbitrarily chosen supposedly necessary sex feature, like chromosomes (Stone 2007, 44). This makes sex a matter of degree and sex classifications should take place on a spectrum: one can be more or less female/male but there is no sharp distinction between the two. Further, intersexes (along with trans people) are located at the centre of the sex spectrum and in many cases their sex will be indeterminate (Stone 2007).

More recently, Ayala and Vasilyeva (2015) have argued for an inclusive and extended conception of sex: just as certain tools can be seen to extend our minds beyond the limits of our brains (e.g. white canes), other tools (like dildos) can extend our sex beyond our bodily boundaries. This view aims to motivate the idea that what counts as sex should not be determined by looking inwards at genitalia or other anatomical features.

One of my HS girlfriends tracked every time she drank, had sex or did just about anything in a little calendar.  When we first started dating she actually put "Fuck my boyfriend" on her calendar 2 days before the first time we had sex and showed it to me as a *hint hint.*

spoiler (click to show/hide)
She also fucked me at a party, told all her friends she was going to do it.. pulled me into a room in front of a cheering crowd.. I asked her specifically if it was OK to put it in, etc.. and 2 years later accused me of rape.

How did you get out of that one?

She announced this idea that I'd raped her the first time we fucked (again, 2 years later, after dating me for 1.75 of those years w/ no peep about rape or anything of that sort) to the same group of friends who she'd told ahead of time that she was going to fuck me;  it was at a party at my house (we'd broken up but she was still invited to my parties and whatnot.)  They immediately came to me to tell me and had my back on the whole thing; I pulled her and them into a room and just was like "You literally consented via your day planner" and sort of laid into her.   I got her to admit in front of that group of friends that she was lying.

But of course she still continued to tell people that I'd raped her, including her parents.

She actually lost all of her friends over the incident;  and I'm not exagerating at one point or another I fucked or dated all of them, and actually her best friend at the time is my ex wife lol.   They all had my back and were witnesses essentially to her consenting. 

It still caused me a huge amount of stress; she told her parents I'd raped her and they were like the heads of the biggest local church, I'm from a smallish middle class 'burb outside Seattle and my friends, friends of friends/etc. parents all talk.  I literally heard a story that 2 full years later her parents were still openly telling people at their church that I raped their daughter.  I thought about getting a lawyer but didn't want to poke a hornets nest.

Anyways that was now nearly 2 decades ago; I'm old.  She had a kid really young, didn't do shit with her life, lost all of her friends and is basically a huge loser.  I'm buff and rich and awesome so there's that.

That sucks.  I had a friend in high school get accused of rape that went all the way to trial - the girl admitted she made it up in court.   He was able to counter-sue but almost all of the money he won went to the attorney fees (at least according to him).  Really ugly situation.

nudemac right now :jeanluc

This is sort of a common millennial thing. People who turn their noses up at Macys and Sears and only shop at Target.

Bitch, hit the one-day sale at Macys, come with the coupon from the sunday paper, swipe your macys card, and youre getting away with fucking murder.

Even regular stuff. I was looking for a new pillow and Target had a good one at $50. A few days later, I was passing through Sears and they have the exact same pillow for $29
:O
