BF2S Forums #MeToo

A woman can still blame the patriarchy if she's fondled by her boss or paid less than a male co-worker for literally doing the same job though, right? Told her skirt or shorts should be a half-an-inch longer so men aren't tempted to rape her? "Smile more," advice men don't get as often (although they get their own kind of stuff). Being appraised for your looks and your ass rather than for your job performance.

What's the female equivalent of derogatory Uncle Tom?

Speaking of work-related creepery, my former CFO would only hire women into his team.



Wouldn't be at all surprised if he has a boner in a restaurant

While we're on that, body insecurity is kind of one of the tools as well, though she's responsible for bringing it into the workplace.

An aside, telling someone they're gross/disgusting and less than human is not a good way to motivate someone with maybe comfort eating issues to lose weight. I guess some people don't care about improving health so much as getting out that jab on social media.

Did the hiring only women thing ever work for him? Did they ever MeToo the guy?

Girls are more compliant by the way. Literally says so in textbooks.

This dude is an incel. No matter how much he will argue otherwise, nobody who isn't a mentally ill incel would be put their IRL name to this.

I think it is pretty weird for guys to not like girls in their male spaces. Like, why wouldn't you want to be around girls? YGoS?

I don't get why women getting into sports is a bad thing. I always thought it would make a game day a lot less awkward if your wife/girlfriend/some-of-your-guests actually enjoyed the game and weren't just pretending.

But I don't think he's blindly dying on a hill or anything. I think he's trying to widen his listenership. Via yent:

Conservative Commentator Matt Walsh Doubles Down on Criticizing Female Sportscasters

He added that he blames transgender people for the invasion of women’s “spaces,” as well, and continued to tweet pretty sarcastically Wednesday after his name began trending on the microblogging platform.

There it is. Pandering to a very specific audience. Very Limbaugh.

Gets a bunch of sports reporters talking about him too.

yes, yes, racism is innate and women can't possibly like sports. women surely don't like to eat, drink and converse together, either.

just look at cats! it's practically set in stone! Nature!

i enjoy tennis and other such sports without boorishness and tribalism, yes.

is it 'innate' to want to bash someone over the head because you arbitrarily selected a team/jersey as a child? i've always wanted to ask an evolutionary psychologist! perhaps you can tie the sociology of football games to the behaviour of ant colonies.

besides, isn't the implication of your jibe that men can choose not to like sports? and thereby cancel your arguments for 'natural' group-gender behaviour? if so, why can't women choose to like them? wowsers! wrap your head around that one!

Depending on city and venue, having a good team can sort of matter for the local economy. Not enough to go on a drunken rampage throughout town if you win or lose, though.

My town's big attraction is having a bunch of nearby golf courses within easy driving distance. Sometimes there's events. Traffic is not backed up three highways to get to them.

golf, and golf course maintenance (like the american pastime of lawn care), should be classed as ecological crimes. the water consumption is astronomical. it's even worse when the golf courses are in deserts or on volcanic islands.

not to mention the tens of thousands of usable acres that could be set aside for a socially useful (if still ecologically destructive) use like affordable housing.

for someone who chagrins people for doing, well, literally everything, i think that's a bit rich.

don't you 'bah humbug' anyone who takes a plane for tourism? but you're sanguine about ... golf courses?! are you kidding? LMAO.

and aren't you against 'clubbable' types and elitist snobs, etc, sealing themselves away in bastions of privilege, normally always at the expense of everything and everyone else? LOL.

In the UK, twice as much land is given for golf than it is for housing.

In the US alone, over two billion gallons of water is used every day to irrigate golf courses. There have also been studies on the high levels of toxicity that effect the local residents and environments that surround courses, due to the heavy pesticides used to maintain them (so much so that some argue it is deadly). Even the very construction of a golf course involves materials that have a negative environmental impact.

bearing in mind that golf originally was played in areas of biodiverse wild grassland, in scotland, there's a special sort of insanity about introducing hundreds of millions of acres of perfectly sculpted, monocultural, blindingly green grassland to, er, the nevada desert. it's completely barmy – a lot of golf courses go as far as to introduce scots pines trees for that 'authentic' look. scots pines ... in florida.

In Las Vegas, golf courses accounted for 28 of the top 100 water consumers in a 2003 survey. As freshwater in desert areas becomes more and more scarce and wildfires seem to wreak more and more havoc every year, it can be hard to defend the high water demands of golf courses.

why is it that you're so fanatical about causes one minute, but then flippant the next? you're very selective, aren't you? one minute a committed eco-warrior, making tough lifestyle cutbacks for the sake of the planet, extolling the virtues of your magnanimous conscience, etc, etc; then the next you're saying 'let the little country club golfers have their pesticide-soaked, water-guzzling expanses to knock balls around'.

so can people get on planes to go see their loved ones or not? i thought you were against all forms of 'selfish human behaviour' and people 'fancying lolling around on a beach'. but hugely environmentally destructive golf courses are ok? hahaha make some FUCKING sense for once in your life.

the thing is with golf courses is that it’s a no brainer. the game existed before on diverse wild lands. there’s no reason at all to create artificial oases in nevada.

Calling things gay is definitely a pig man trait. Give everyone a +1 and say a Hail Mary for penance.
