Thanks for understanding the irony I was attempting. Guess I’m off on my delivery.

A catholic who hates the vatican. A doctor who hates the hospital they work at. A conservative who hates the republican party.

I bet that’s why poisoning was so big before guns. Like who has the time to learn archery.

Steampunk Legend of Zelda would be a great cover.

Maybe a bunch of folks decided they’d rather hire a hitman than pay their deductibles.

And it’s way easier to get a compound bow than a gun, and not that much harder to learn.

It’ll be like that town that got together to kill that one asshole and no one would say shit about it. That dude got murdered by a whole town, this dude got murdered by a country.

That sucks. Hard to be yourself around people when navigating their fragile beliefs is like playing epistemological fiddlesticks. Weird when most executive chefs are male.

I donno the answer. Make 'em some pink sparkle shortbread infused with whiskey and bacon and watch their minds implode.

The last question is a leading one and poorly framed, so I won’t answer it. This is a thread about two comments on a discussion, we don’t know the context of what came before or any relationship these two people had.

But yeah, in my circles of women who are just fucking tired, we’ve all been told we gotta let men be men, and that’s somehow our responsibility. So that’s the context, we hear that phrase in a different tone than men do.

Nothing’s wrong with feeling like a man.

I feel for this post because I’ve been told by bosses that men aren’t used to people like me. They’d get used to it if women weren’t told to dumb themselves down for the poor boys raised on some fabricated ideal of manliness. I don’t like to think of traits or talents being gendered because it’s exclusionary.

When I go in to buy computer parts I still get asked if I’m sure that’s what my boyfriend wants? I never mention a boyfriend, they just assume. I don’t ask for help in hardware stores because nine times out of ten it’s gonna start a whole argument with someone who thinks they know my project better than I do.

I see the same thing happening to guys, saw a dude at a yarn shop get asked if he was gettin supplies for his wife. That sucks, right? It sucks to feel less like who you are because of what you like. That shit keeps up the gender divide because not everyone has the energy to risk feeling a little worse to do the things they enjoy.

So yeah, I’ll never describe an activity as typically male or female.

As it turns out, the things that make a good man are the same things that make a good person.

One is the venom tooth and one is the straw tooth.

I had one cook in a kitchen who would always overfill prep containers, like heaping over top. Every time I pulled a new container from the fridge that was overflowing I’d shout “Fill lines! Watch the fill lines.”

It went on for about a week until she shouted back “Who the hell is Phil Lines?”

This is sexist. I know at least two women who’d follow a mysterious voice, baggies and tongs in hand, hoping for more taxidermy material.

Hey.

I’m more aware that I don’t know shit.

I get irked by people acting like idiots, like most people, but I’ve seen enough to know that I’m only experiencing a snapshot of someone’s personality.

Everyone has their unique talents and areas of expertise. Some people are tired, hungry, stressed or have neurological differences that can impact their social behavior. Some folks just say dumb shit because they haven’t learned otherwise yet.

My awareness is of my own feelings about the people around me and understanding where those feelings come from. The moment I start generalizing someone as ‘dumb’ I know it’s time to reflect.
