 |

This is getting more and more attention these days.
Gender stereotyping, equality, societal roles, etc.
I saw this today.

Man the fuck up.
(In all seriousness, either choose to be a man or a woman. I'm not bothered either way, and you can crack you, just make a choice. If you can't make a choice you're probably a girl as they can never make up their mind. ) ____________________ My Flickr |

To use a favoured liberal phrase "1st world problems"... If your life is so great that the greatest source of upset is someone "misgendering" you then you are doing better than 99.99% of us.
I saw a phrase that resonated well with me the other day:
Hard times lead to hard people. Hard people lead to good times. Good times lead to weak people. Weak people lead to hard times.
I think it sums up the cyclical nature of the world nicely. I think in lots of ways the western world is a victim of its own success. We are now soft and weak, our lives so comfortable that now we see a small slight as a life-threatening condition. We need to man the fuck up, but before that can occur we need to suffer first.... |
Well said.
The thing about this guy and his 'gender neutral' issue, is that the next natural step is to allow anyone to be called whatever they want. For example there are Otherkin who genuinely believe they're a non-human being in a human shell. They'll be the ones to start piping up about their own positive pronouns next.
Funny thing is, these are the sorts of people who tend to claim we're all created equal in the world, they hate racism, national stereotypes etc, yet at the same time they want more and more ways of labelling and identifying themselves, which is inherently divisive in itself!
I fully agree with that little mantra you put there, about the cyclic nature of things. I've always considered that civilisations repeat a cycle of hardship>> success>> growth>> prosperity>> hedonism>> complacency (therefore not enough people maintaining the system created by previous generations) >> demise>> repeat
So if we have idiots complaining about how much they hate being a physiologically designated member of a biological species with blatant male/female specifications, then yes we're probably somewhere near the end of that cycle. |

I saw a funny new special snowflake term the other day: Demisexual
Apparently it means you are sexually attracted to people, once you develop an emotional bond with them. Well fuck me chaps, I do believe there was already a word for that..... normal.
Some people like to go around like a dog with two dicks. Other people like to get to people before shagging them. Both behaviours are well within the bounds of normal personality, just a matter of preference. You don't need an attention-seeking special snowflake term for a normal human behaviour.....
All this is what I would put under the broad banner of "faggotry". Note I don't mean this in a homophobic way, gay people who are just normal people are fine. If you feel the need to invent new adjectives to describe your behaviour: you're being a faggot. If you feel the need to whine every 2 seconds about how your constant stream of percieved oppression: you're being a faggot. etc |

Don't get me started on that massive can of worms. The amount of sexual identity labels is stupid.
I remember a couple of years ago I was staying at a hostel in Edinburgh, mixed dorm. I'd just had a shower and walked back into the room topless. This Norwegian woman gets chatting to me, all about general amicable stuff, traveller things, reasons for being there, etc.
And then, in reference to me being a 'man just out of the shower with no top on', she she says, "Oh and don't worry, I'm androgynous."
Well alright then.
Google tells me it's someone who identifies as neither male or female.
No I didn't start referring to her as 'they' or 'it'  |

On topic, I came across a new term the other day for this sort of nonsense... Kafkatrap/ping
It's when you use a broad-brush non-falsifiable statement to target someone, then when they deny the accusation, use their denial as further proof of the original statement.
