I'm not ignorant, and if you want to be open about it, I encourage you to do so, just not on this forum. I'm sure you've told your family or your friends, and you should discuss it with them if you want. I have nothing against you for who you are, I just suggest talking about your feelings (on that subject) somewhere else. Ultimately, if you do not choose to do so, I will no longer remark on the subject.
we aren't talking about gay marriage. There was a vague flirty comment between me and fancy and that got deemed "gross"
You didn't review the link to which I was responding did you? The issue of "property" is pretty well described in it.
No, and I was just stating my opinion on the subject, with which I inadvertently offended some people, and I'm sorry. I for one, am not very pro-gay marriage, and am sort of grossed out by the idea of it, both for females and males. I don't hold anything against gay people though, and I'm not homophobic. I'm sorry if my remarks were misconstrued or taken with offense, that was not at all my intention. I also know we discuss sex fairly liberally on this forum, and I should have acknowledged that fact before hand. I suppose it was my distaste towards the subject of gay sex that got the better of me. It's very hard to portray true emotions over this thread as well. I didn't want to start a flame war, so I'm sorry. I think we could do a better job of taking people's ideas and opinions of somethings with a grain of salt, and to not overreact.
Yeah, I don't see how waiting 24 hours to get an elective abortion means you're public property. You have 24 hours to think about the ramifications of an abortion and then you can have it to your heart's content.
You have got to be kidding. It's as stupid as taking back the word "Bossy" movement.
I hope you mean on the part of women in this thread.
No. Bc your sexual life with your boyfriend is the normative. Someone being disgusted by homosexual sex is not the same as being homophobic. There is a big difference.
She pulls the gender card and he pulls the race card, in the video. They're made for each other.
Sorry.
Try again. If this was the case Gloria Allred would be making a fortune.
She's already is making a fortune anyway. I think she has a TV show or two, and she may have written a book but I'm not positive.Sorry.
Yes, but even then she keeps her name out there by defending women in front of cameras, many of them with shady histories (i.e. some random porn star who had relations with Tiger Woods, etc.) under the disguise of defending against chauvinism.
We don't have lab coats, and scrubs are mandatory. I'm considering buying a lab coat just to minimize the grossness, but at the same time I don't want to be the only tool with a lab coat on in the anatomy lab.
This conveys a startling lack of empathy. As a male you are physically in control of the situation, there is no real threat to your safety. To equate your situation to a female being hit on aggressively (at work or elsewhere) by a physically dominating person is wrong.
Once or twice is no big deal. imagine getting catcalled every single day on your way to and from work year after year. I would probably freak the **** out too.
Sorry but the scenario xffan used was of catcalling. But bc alpinism is male, all of a sudden he's "physically in control of the situation", so it's a-ok. How interesting.
It's caught on - kind of like the "check your privilege" movement. It's why feminism isn't taken seriously anymore. Kind of like the War on Women™ that's trotted out every election cycle.
It is still by many women. Not necessarily because they feel oppressed or harassed, but because they want to be the victim, and they want to believe they're oppressed. And then they here the democrats telling them that the republicans are creating a war on women, that just reinforces their beliefs.
Yeah, when their breasts are practically falling out of their dress, and you look down for a split second, they excoriate you and say all you care about is sex etc. It's just ridiculous.
Yes, but in order for feminism to be appreciated, the other side (males) has to play. If not, then it's just preaching to choir. It's incidences like the above, when you bring down the hammer on even the most ridiculous of things and try to say getting a catcall is akin to sexual harassment, which is when feminism as a whole is taken less seriously.
Man, so much hipocrisy. Obama complains about the fact that women payed significantly less than men, while he does the same.
Remember this when you're on MS-3 rotations to not use your gender as a way to garner better evaluations. Hopefully, there won't be a hypocritical change of heart then. As much as women feel they should be treated equally to men (nothing wrong with that), they seem to have a sudden change of heart, when they can use their gender to gain advantage.
Or we could do as Alpinism did and take it as a compliment and not make a federal case out of EVERY slight. If you're going to be easily offended by what people say, then the population you will be working with during residency at an academic medical center (Medicaid) will drive you nuts.
