Whoever decided it was a good idea to market formal wear that's thin enough to require an undershirt to avoid violating public decency laws in fucking Florida needs to be dragged out into the road and shot until their composite parts occupy no less than twelve states.

The pants weren't too bad, though. I know I can stand khakis now. Fairly comfortable, really. Undershirts, though? Next person that tries to get me into a shirt than needs one of those bastards are getting punched unless it's at-minimum three hundred miles north of this hellswamp. Eighty fucking Fahrenheit on the first of goddamn december. I'd say this state could go to hell but apparently it's already there!

vvvv
While. Let him, her, or it die as the rest of us suffer.

Scythes also don't work that way.

And bat guano doesn't do this.

If your pile of bat guano isn't doing that, you're not adding enough high explosives to the pile.

Most states, yeah. It can depend on other factors, too, though.

Frankly, I've known a few folks hit with statutory charges that were never actually physically involved with their partner. Just got caught on the wrong side of someone willing to abuse the system. Most of the causes I've seen of statutory charges are more along the lines of "the parents didn't like someone" than anything else

S'a pretty fucked up set of laws, really, in general.

... this has gone a sadly long way from, "What is love?"

Just... throwing that out there.

Heheheh.

Makes those debates so much more tolerable.

In other news, a freshly smoked Three Toe rap has been posted.

Also, I MADE IT WORSE.

Welp. Nothing for it. Time to run the arabian nights through that thing. Thank you gutenberg and gizoogle. Things are about to get strange.

And Random.org says the winner for Arcania: Gothic IV is ...

Woah. Ah, accepted the thingy. Actually downloading the demo right now to make sure I can actually run the thing

If gifts are re-transferable, go ahead and send it... if not, give me a mo' to make sure it shouldn't be going to someone else on the list, heh.

And thanks, regardless!

Not much of one, because feminism has never been about female supremacy outside of fringe/radical parts of the movement and such isn't implied by the name, but more than currently exists.

Much like Misko's questioning, do you have any examples? I've been trying to think of somebody outside the troll Femitheist Divine but I can't recall anybody who has seriously tried using Feminism to advocate for giving women more advantages than men.

Nah, nothing I can remember. I barely remember any particulars about the movement and would probably have to start digging out notes (which are currently ~300 miles from me) to even recall specific names.

One of my professors while I was getting the BA had worked under one of the... sorta' more recent ones (not a major name, per se, but not an unknown one.), who did some writing on the female orgasm fairly recently (as academia goes), so m'professor was fairly familiar with the movement at large and did some talking about it here and there as th'course in question progressed (Philosophy of science, iirc. Subject came up in relation to methodology, really, as previous -- male dominated -- research into th'female orgasm had... problems. Problems you could -- and she did -- drive trucks through.).

S'came up in other places, too, but... yeah. Not really my field, m'afraid. Know a fair, if cursory, bit about the basics of the movement's history, but not well enough to spout it off without some refresher research.

...? Academic feminism and the majority of the movement in general has been about gender equality since... pretty much the get-go, and especially second-wave, iirc. What scriver's mentioned is pretty much exactly what's been going on.

The name is somewhat deceptive, really. The primary reason the role of women originally got a heavier emphasis (and thus th'name itself, to a degree.) was, as I understand it, due simply because that's where the majority of the disparity was at the time. As the movement matured it expanded into the realm of male gender roles (gender in general, really.) as well, and has long had a stated goal by th'majority of its adherents, especially the larger names in the movement, of trying to obtain either gender equality or the abolishment of gender roles in general as a thing.

If for some strange reason "whitepowerism" was originally started by disenfranchised Caucasians seeking equality and had since expanded into a movement that sought the abolishment of racial bias in general, then there'd be some sort of parallel there. Not much of one, because feminism has never been about female supremacy outside of fringe/radical parts of the movement and such isn't implied by the name, but more than currently exists.

Perhaps you forgot your Sarcasm Font, Hiiri?
