I really need to start smoking pot.  For like...real this time.

Ironbite-otherwise I'm going to be out all my housepets.

What if a woman uses male deodorant and stuff?

Then the transwoman hate kicks in and they start accusing her of not being a real woman.

Wouldn't that be transman hate?

No. See, they think that MTF transsexuals are actually men who are disguising themselves as women to prey on them and sneak into bathrooms and whatnot. Therefore, a woman who uses male cleaning products is actually a man trying to pretend that he's a woman. Because only a "real woman" would exclusively use feminine care products. It goes with them being vulnerable, naive, virginal kittens.

I actually have used male deodorant once.  It started out fine, but the more I used it, the more intense the itching became.  I couldn't even finish one stick before I had to stop for the sake of my own sanity.

I've used male products even before I identified as male. This one hates feeling like a flower.

And now you are a space jellyfish to me.

Good. I was misquoting Garrus about seeing Hanar poetry.

How do I gender tense

I'm confused at the formatting of this post. Why isn't the definition of "hero" connected to anything?

You know, I would probably use "hero" in a neuter sense. "Heroine" is just kind of an unnecessary expansion that sounds like a hard drug.

[PosthumanHeresy]

That's a more slang-style usage. This! IS! A DICTIONARY!

Actually, the reason the drug is called "heroin" is because people thought it was less addictive than morphine at first, and thus a good idea to use as a surgical anesthetic, thus "saving" lots of people from drug addiction.  Then heroin proved to still be pretty damn addictive.

The "Hold Up" gif is supposed to be the commentary. This is what passes for hard-hitting journalism on Tumblr.

Edit: Or maybe not, looking at the usernames on the post. I guess someone highlighted the definition and decided to let it speak for itself, only to have it backfire on them.

[Lithp]

Yeah, it looks like a conversation between 2 people who are pointing out the same flaw, & the definition is sort of just floating there.

This is why I don't like Tumblr's formatting.

Salon throws a hissy fit at some survey question Dr. Phil posts on his Twitter

I do believe he phrases his question in an unfortunate way ("If a girl is drunk" instead of "somebody") but the way everyone is reacting would make it think that he tweeted "HEY IS IT OKAY TO RAPE WOMAN? Y/N"

[Lithp]

What the fuck.

People, if you don't ask the question, you won't know what people answer.

If you don't know the answers, you don't know whether or not anti-rape education is working.

If you hear enough people making idiotic rape apologetics, you're likely to frame that question in a context where it is, in fact, equivalent to asking if rape is OK.

Maybe Dr. Phil was ignorant of that and was asking a serious ethical question, I have no idea*. But I'm not at all surprised people interpreted as they did.


*Though, how much serious ethical discussion can you have with a question like that, where the answer is heavily dependent on many details not mentioned in the question, you're asked to reply yes or no, and you're limited to 140 characters?
