Scene: Stephanie Zvan pushes a disabled, asleep kid in a wheelchair. They need to cross the road, so she waits for the pedestrian traffic light to turn green.

Zvan (under her breath): Oh great. More waiting. I'm late, and this wheelchair weighs a fucking ton.

She wipes sweat from her forehead. A nearby man notices her.

Nearby man: Is everything OK, Madam? Do you need any help?

Zvan shoots him a death glare.

Zvan: I don't need your help, creep. Stay the fuck away from me.

Nearby man (indignant) : There's no need for such language, Madam, especially near a child.

Zvan: He's asleep you fucking mansplainer, he can't hear me. Stop tone-trolling me!

The nearby man walks away, a mix of confusion and disgust on his face. Zvan grits her teeth.

Zvan: Typical man, only pretends to be wanting to help to hit on women, but can't deal with those who aren't subservient to his emotional needs. Look at him leave. Fucking shitlord.

It's not completely outside the bounds of credibility that Muscato or even Zvan (!) could have been cat-called. The world is stranger than we can possibly image after all.

Yep, I believe there is someone for everybody, as long as you're willing to advertise your availability. Zvan is married after all, and Ben actually seems to be very fond of her.

And this might only be Zvan's bloated ego running off with her imagination... or it might be the gut-curdling admission she's doing Lousy :shock:

I kind of liked having the post # in the message header; it was helpful to find where you had left off after a reload (which always seems to leave me in a random place) or a return after a short diversion.

I can believe that some people might like Zvan.

I find it hard to believe that they'd hit on her while she was pushing a disabled kid on a wheelchair.

Yeeps. Y'know, she'd make a brilliant comic book, with moonlit panels and Dutch angles. Too bad the Joker got there first, because he's weak-kneed stuff alongside The Zvan :shock:

Enough politics, enough about Zvan, let's talk about cake.

Take the Cake: No I Won't Cut You a Smaller Slice of Cake
A Cake Related Fatphobic Incident — or CRFI for short — is that moment when it's time to eat delicious cake, and an otherwise joyous experience gets ruined by a moralizing impulse. There's almost always at least one person who delays the cake experience because they personally feel compelled to publicly declare that their slice is too large or that it has too much frosting on it, and that the person cutting the cake (almost inevitably a woman) needs to do some disproportionate amount of work in order to accommodate their need.
:lol:
If you are a repeat CRFI offender and feel implicated by this article, no need to be defensive! You live in a culture that is dedicated to our collective dehumanization, and you were unwittingly enlisted in the project of sexist complicity, friend. You can totally stop investing in patriarchy, like, right now and join my friends and me in committing to the collective liberation of women and fat people by ending the policing and moralizing of cake products.
:bjarte:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Apparently this is real, but Parsehole couldn't have done it better.

I just made brownies for the last lesson of a course I've been doing on Tuesday. I cut myself a bigger share because it was tasty. I'm sorry to say it was a CRFI.

God damn, and here I was thinking asking for a smaller slice meant "I know I can't eat all this and I don't want to waste cake."

Svan's like that in-law from hell for whom nothing is ever done properly, not even when it's done according to their instructions, because they're perpetually miserable and you will be too.

Cat-calling is not so much of a white thing in my opinion. I mean, there must be some white guys who do it, But not very many in my experience. In the Detroit area it seems like a 100% black thing.

Haha... my oldest daughter got cat-called by a black guy who said "Girl.... does yo mama know you're wearing a shirt like that?" And my kid yelled back... "My mama bought me this shirt!" My kid has big boobs... haha. She thought it was funny and was ready to explain that she had a boyfriend if it proceeded any further. The black guy yelled "ooooh weeee!" or something similar and it went no further.

It is definitely a black thing where I live.
Back in the early to mid 90s, I worked for a company which sent out fitting crews. One time I went out with them and the crew leader who was fresh out of the Royal Engineers would "Oi,oi" passing girls. This wasn't considered a sin but I did tell him that in some settings he would be working in it could make our company look unprofessional. As he was promoted through the company he actually became something of a stickler about how our staff behaved around the general public.

Around the same time I remember another guy I used to know who would do it. He didn't do it on the job because he never had a job, he was a certified "wigger" and did hardly anything unless it was copied from black culture.

In more recent years, although I have never worked for any company which can be considered politically correct, we have been very aware that male staff can be intimidating to female customers -- and that in the summer semi-naked female customers can be very distracting to staff.
In fact, we often used to sit in our office which had a two way mirror and watch women fix their make-up and adjust their cleavage in preparation. This might be partly because we hired several fit, attractive young men, it may just be because they wanted to get a better deal. I can tell you that it led to many very interesting discussions between the boys which I consider myself very lucky to be able to sit in on. I really wish all women could have heard them.

My first observation is that men are not nearly as naive as we seem to think they are. Secondly, if you try and 'play the game' with them they will play back which means you are in competition. They can't help but give better treatment to women, but you will get more cooperation if you are just acting normal than if you flutter your eyelids and flash your cleavage. If they are dealing with this all day, it gets real old for them and they feel you are trying to take advantage.

Another observation is that although one or two of the guys liked athletic or skinny girls, the memes tend to be true, men do prefer curves. Single men who have to do their own laundry hate it when women go to bed wearing makeup, and fake tan is universally despised. Girls who dress like they are available are not seen as 'keepers' because they are likely available to anyone, even if they are in a relationship.

In fact, thinking about it, probably the most surprising thing is that the stereotypes are true and everything my grandmother told me is sage advice. Men, even the young players tend to be on the lookout for a 'nice girl', somebody level headed and homely... but that doesn't mean they ignore the 'easy meat'.

Possibly the most important lesson was that men see the same things we see, and they say the same things we say, such as, "Do you think she even owns a mirror?" and "I can't walk in high heels either".

Oh, and they don't think it's cute if you pop down to the shops in your slippers or your onesie.

Back to the topic of cat calling. It think it's a game essentially the same as trolling. Even though I was telling my staff not to stare, not to leer, not to crowd the girls, they still flirted but the game is to get a reaction. The aim is to get a smile, accept a compliment or to have them flirt back.
I have heard my boys say thinks like, "You are looking nice today, are you off to somewhere special?" or even say to the older women, "have you had your hair done since I last saw you?". I had another guy who took a more shotgun approach of saying, "Here she is, my favorite customer. I can't resist blonds/brunettes/RedHeads" to all the regulars. Obviously this is a more sophisticated game than just cat calling or whistling but I suspect the effect is much the same for the person doing it.

Even though I was telling my staff not to stare, not to leer, not to crowd the girls, they still flirted but the game is to get a reaction. The aim is to get a smile, accept a compliment or to have them flirt back.
I have heard my boys say thinks like, "You are looking nice today, are you off to somewhere special?" or even say to the older women, "have you had your hair done since I last saw you?". I had another guy who took a more shotgun approach of saying, "Here she is, my favorite customer. I can't resist blonds/brunettes/RedHeads" to all the regulars. Obviously this is a more sophisticated game than just cat calling or whistling but I suspect the effect is much the same for the person doing it.
Dunno if it's the same thing, but I think it kind of is- if I have to go in somewhere that is female dominated I will definitely play up my masculinity.

I don't think it's entirely conscious but I've caught myself broadening my shoulders to seem.. bigger? Also if it's something like a shop (cosmetics or similar) I will enhance how much of a clueless bloke I seem in order to get the attention and pity of the assistant so she will help me get out of there quicker hehe.

Though from the looks of our Icons - it seems we have all shifted to the right.
FT has shifted the Overton window.

Ooh. My skin crawls thinking of the poor person in the wheelchair being pushed by InSvanity. All that sweat....and the resulting gravity....means a lot of Svan grease runs down the back of the poor wheenchair person's head.

I kind of liked having the post # in the message header; it was helpful to find where you had left off after a reload (which always seems to leave me in a random place) or a return after a short diversion.
It'll take me some time to set up all the features we had before, including this one.

Automatic greasing of the wheel bearings. Quite a nifty arrangement.

I don't see the SJW game thread or the Trump Dump thread. I think they were in the "everything else" folder

The expanded gender options are a start but there should be at least 64.

I've been researching the phenomena of hipster racism and it appears to be a big problem.
Hipster racism is thinking that you can use someone else’s culture as a prop.

Another pervasive example of hipster racism is the staggering number of white people who don’t seem to understand that there is no ironic way to say the N-word if you are not black. Earlier this month, the author Ta-Nehisi Coates was asked at a panel about whether it was OK for white hip-hop fans to rap along when they hear black rappers use the N-word in songs. As he eloquently explained: no, it’s not.

“When you’re white in this country you’re taught that everything belongs to you,” he said. “You think you have a right to everything.”

Hipster racism is thinking that you have a right to the N-word, that if you – a liberal with black friends! – use it, somehow it isn’t offensive.
Te-Nehisi Coates name is Ibo for Arrogant Pretentious Know-it-all.

Coates is a racist who believes that white children in black-majority neighborhoods are a threat.

He's the black Steve Bannon.
