If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

:hankey: The following history has been lifted from the endless thread in honor of five years since the incident in the lift. [12:03] There is another comment I found on a blog, from actually one of your own. I want to use it as an example not to embarrass this person but to point out that we have a...

We may safely assume Depp is abusive, because white male.

In a fair & open debate, any given Pitizen -- except Steerz, who'd call him a nigger, or Damion, who'd agree with him -- could devastate Caribou.

It was pretty disgusting dirt and hygiene-wise. Plus the toilets stunk and were filthy because they were "porta-Janes" and not flushable. Note the name change there from porta-John to porta-Jane. Makes perfect sense if you think of women as a toilet. More like if you think of men as toilets. The on...

All this talk about polyamorous pansexual teenagers makes me feel lucky to be raising a family in the Bible Belt, where the dominant moral framework comes embedded in a mythology which is vastly less complicated and somewhat easier to see through.

Probably everyone but me knows already but as someone who's tried to pay as little attention as possible to the primary season what in the fuck are liberal progressives mad at Sanders over?

Interesting bathroom arrangement at a feminist conference... [2:45]

On a lighter note: It's the one year anniversary of the invention of the blog blogpost booty call.

Probably worth asking whether post-menopausal women should have a separate toilet, apart from the real women.

In some ways I am closer to Steers than I thought I'd be. Hallelujah! Ever onward and upward! ;-) IMO and with a very small zone of 'shits gone wrong' you are born a male / female. Anything that happens post hoc is modification on this 'natural order'. So Jenna remains a man who has successfully re...

Enjoy.

To be clear, Steersman, do you think the phrase "post-menopausal women" carries meaning or it is like "square circle" to you? Some meaning - more like talking about the sun rising - and not quite as much an oxymoron as "square circle": not particularly accurate but gives some indication of what's h...

Completely clueless about the concept that labels and definitions are a priori : "first premises" like "All bachelors are unmarried". I really don't think so. To the contrary, we identify patterns out there in the real world and then we conceptualize a category so as to fit observed data, a posteri...

As I commented in that "Bi Any Means" podcast (not sure it hasn't been deleted), if we agree that Dave is a woman then the word ceases to have any meaning or utility at all.

I have now read every reply to Grothe's FB post. Including the torturous Dave posts where he attempts to derail the conversation and calls anyone who points this out a transphobe. The only possible conclusion to draw is that Muscato is a cunt. I was ambivalent about him before, prepared to live and...

It looks to me like some people think that some male-bodied people would feel safer and more comfortable, and maybe even be safer, using women's restrooms instead of men's restrooms and/or free-for-all restrooms.
