Here’s my real analysis. I think all you ladies know that I am quite mad, not so much mad as boring and pompous Which makes my point again: men can’t criticise women in public (if they do they get the sack), whereas women can criticise men all they want (blaming men for the patriarchy, for example,...

i live in a large multigeneration household - all major - and many no so major - political views are represented here

i read a few snippets of your meanderings to some of them - and even my Trump-voting great-uncle thinks you are a sexist ass - "one of them real sexists"

Does anyone believe we are living in a simulation? If so, what evidence is there that could prove this? I am always looking for any subtle flaws in my environment but I suspect any flaws will be shown up on a microscopic scale rather than anything macroscopic. I guess we can only speculate until th...

You then argue, again by implication, that women are not equal (better at networ...

I believe that on average men can take more physical and psychological punishment than women. That being tortured once caught behind enemy lines women would break quicker. do u have any idea how many women regularly present a happy and functional face to the world in the face of very painful premen...

you can also ask that person's friends - that often works

this might still be awkward

a had a couple of guys ask me if "my friend" (they meant my wife but did not know this at the time) has a boyfriend
