Males and Females

[monoxide_child]

It had nothing to do with killing them. It has everything to do with bringing on 9 months of downtime (A BIG chuck of ones life back then) and plus increased susceptibility to the elements thereafter (not to mention women become less fertile earlier than men, and the negative side affects associated with pregnancy greatly increase as a woman ages...without modern medicine all of this was amplified).

i think we're refering to vastly different eras

and your argument still doesn't explain why some men are atracted to females that look pre-pubescent

an adult female's breasts should completely totally change shape when she puts on/takes off a bra (that's what bras were invented to do)

an adult female's hip-bones should be wide enough that just from the bone-in-the-hip, you can tell she's both adult and female without having to examine the rest of the body



the men who gawk at "perky" or "youthfull looking" breasts, and the men that sexually gawk at the buns-of-steel on a female with masculineley narrow hips...those men are not "the result of evolution" they are borderline-pedophiles

 

[PhlegethonVeins]

Your perception of what is pre pubescent is far obscured from reality. And you're right were talking about different eras, I'm talking since the begining obviously, since I was speaking to evolution.

During: "Hey, that's not yours to grab" (calm tone) to which friend said "Sorry now I feel like an idiot" to which I said "well you should, tsk tsk etc"

After: "I felt like smashing a fucking glass over his head"

I would have went into auto-rage mode, tbh.


I have two dates this Saturday.

I can't be bothered to do things that are annoying any more. Fuck overdrafts.

OH BOY, how far apart are they?

I'm proud of PP for containing himself. He did tap some dude in the balls when that dude made some ching chong remark at me a few months back which I felt was appropriate.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Hm, not sure about that. I don't think it's fair to get physical with someone because you don't like a sound coming from the front of their head.

 

[damnromulans]

Yeah, I see how one might think that, but I don't really expect you to understand how insulting it is to be ching chonged. Besides, we all know that a stern tongue-lashing between drunk people at a bar inevitably leads to a minimum of vigorous shoving.

Fortunately, there's nothing anyone can say to white men that would hurt our feelings. We feel no empathy for you ching chongs.

Why do you assume I wouldn't understand? Because I believe words don't warrant physical aggression?

I've been insulted beyond "ching chong" and still would never think about hitting someone.

It's kinda odd how you think that if your bf did touch that dude who grabbed your boob you'd see it as "indicative of insecurity" but when a guy calls you a name, totally fine.

 

[PhlegethonVeins]

Yeah, while I was overstating by stating the other dude was lucky he didn't get some teeth knocked out...how can you say that doesn't warrant physical reaction where as having a phrase thrown your direction does?

 

[The Ozzman]

I think racist terms are funny. I would never say one to someone's face derisively though.

Because the dynamics of racism constitute an entirely different form of insult that white American males unfortunately don't have access to. Even if a black person insulted me by calling me "honky," it does not have the same effect that me saying "my pals" does to a black person. History has positioned us differently, and it has prohibited us from empathizing with those who experience hegemonic racism.

What Pat said. While I think it might be exaggerated in some circles (like the ones Mort appears to frequent), there is truth to white male privilege in the recent past. However I don't believe this has as much to do with the factors as often submitted as it has to do with education. PWT takes offense as easily as any underprivileged minority, and you can be PWT even with a middle class income. That goes for any race of course. It's upbringing, not specific socioeconomic/location factors.

Lol ITT Jimmy says someone's sense of logic/train of thought is odd.

Ching chonging implies "you are unwelcome on my earth" with the sole intent to make people feel shitty - and was a total stranger. Kind of like catcalling strange women on the street and then yelling "fucking bitch" when they ignore you. I think normal people would be more insulted by racist or threatening comments from a strangers than from an isolated socially awkward gesture (which has been followed up with several genuine apologies) from a close friend.

Liberal middle class people never realise quite how racist a lot of minorities are

Ignoring your tirade about Pakistanis taking all the white wimminz in the UK, this is very true. It's a different kind of racism, not structurally built into society so much as they just hate each other and do not play nicely.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Fair enough.

 

[PhlegethonVeins]

Still doesn't warrant a physical retort.

 

[damnromulans]

Shut up.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Still doesn't warrant a physical retort.

Agreed, and I truly think she understands that.
