If someone holds a door open for me, I say thank you, if someone lends me a dollar I promise to pay them back and if someone shows me something creative they made that I dislike, I hold my opinion, perhaps I even say I like it. I don't look at them and laugh at their petty attempts at creativity, I don't mock them for trying to be creative and I certainly don't describe to them exactly why their so pathetic each and every other week day. Have you done anything, anything, that you can say makes you honestly superior to any human being? If you aren't Abe Lincoln, Gandhi or Mother Theresa then no. I have no trouble with you disliking something, that's fine. But to openly mock someone who was just trying to be creative is pathetic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-30080239932221760532010-08-28T22:08:50.893-07:002010-08-28T22:08:50.893-07:00"anyways though, people like to bash and look..."anyways though, people like to bash and look down on guys who say "pix pls" when there is a *gasp* GIRL on the internet.

Derailing all conversations everywhere because you can't control your compulsion to ask for titties so you can jerk off makes you a dick.<br /><br />"When I hang out with my female friends and one of them has a new boyfriend, we all immediately ask to see a picture of him or ask if he is cute, what he looks like, etc. Does that make us creepy???"<br /><br />Are the pictures of his wang?<br /><br />"can you people honestly say you're not at all curious what people look like when you talk to them over the internet? if i posted a picture, would you just ignore it because you're too good and non-shallow to bother? PLEASE."<br /><br />Why would you post a picture of yourself, and why would anyone care? I can guarantee you that if I or any other guy posted a photo, no one would give a shit, and we would be rightly ridiculed for transparent narcissism. If a woman did so, no one would say anything, as they would be too busy mashing "save as..." before the person posting came to their senses and deleted it.<br /><br />And then they would masturbate, furiously.<br /><br />All of this was probably covered already, so apologiesmrossnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-40558430033424688612010-08-27T20:14:18.030-07:002010-08-27T20:14:18.030-07:00"God, Emily, if you're that naive men mus..."God, Emily, if you're that naive men must take advantage of you every day unless you're totally ugly.

It's a really good way to avoid getting outraged or hurt by the crazy amount of societally-sanctioned sexism, but it is kind of naive and can possibly make you complicit in some rather unpleasant behaviors (ex: asking for pictures of girls on the internet). <br /><br />However, I honestly think I was happier when I thought like that... I don't know. It's just so difficult to see sexism absolutely everywhere, when no one else even thinks you should care. Saying "I'm not gonna interpret this to be sexist" is one strategy for staying sane.<br /><br />It's a pretty understandable way to deal with a difficult issue, is what I'm saying.doublecuddlefishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-11134833946396052692010-08-27T16:08:15.862-07:002010-08-27T16:08:15.862-07:00What the shit is up with today's comic?What the shit is up with today's comic?Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392788182298880020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-25439517496807653482010-08-27T15:55:45.371-07:002010-08-27T15:55:45.371-07:00I want to see pictures of Emily's breasts plea...I want to see pictures of Emily's breasts please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-83057470415680651032010-08-27T15:20:47.237-07:002010-08-27T15:20:47.237-07:00@anon1:33 i took a few pictures for you but the si...@anon1:33 i took a few pictures for you but the sincerity in all of them was too blurry for me to bother uploading any sorryUndercoverCuddlefishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-66775070902925735852010-08-27T15:20:05.741-07:002010-08-27T15:20:05.741-07:00God, Emily, if you're that naive men must take...God, Emily, if you're that naive men must take advantage of you every day unless you're totally ugly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-2786956575875441052010-08-27T13:58:00.223-07:002010-08-27T13:58:00.223-07:00@ Emily:

Taken with the rest of his relationship comics, I suppose I can see why people might be tired of the tone, but whatever. At least it's not being smug superior bullshit, which is about infinitely more terrible and I expect that on monday.<br /><br />But really, even among those who aren't trying to take it for more than what it is, you're taking it for more than what it is. The alt-text (in this case) is not a part of the strip, so it's text should not be considered. The strip is saying "It's so easy to fall asleep with you because I want to get the fuck away from you." It's subverting expectations, usually people say "I love sleeping with you because you're so comfortable." Then the alt text comes in and throws in a mild inception reference, basically saying "Thank god we aren't together in my dreams too."<br /><br />Yeah, it's pretty shitty, and I'm not sure if Randy is trying to be funny, or cute, or tragic, or what.

I personally cannot fathom masturbating to some random person's picture i met on the internet - sure, i guess i will judge a person to be attractive or unattractive based on the pic but that doesn't influence at all whether i like them or want to be friends with them or not. In fact, i kind of find unattractive people to be endearing because i think being strange or ugly or quirky, etc. makes you unusual and i find unusual people using have a more interesting take on life - attractive people who know they are attractive and exploit that attractiveness for personal gain can be obnoxious and boring. (sorry brief tangent).<br /><br />as far as you being "more knowledgeable of feminist issues" than me... let me put it this way, Rob. As I mentioned above, I seem to have a mental block when it comes to this stuff... I view feminism on a personal level to be something that has already been achieved and transcended. I have EMBRACED my femininity and cherish it and love it and feel it empowers me to be a strong person. If I am objectified because i am cute or judged negatively because of my appearance, i don't view it as an attack on me, i view it 100% as an indictment towards the person doing the judging, NOT a reflection of me. <br /><br />I am who I am. I will overcome all obstacles. If/when I am faced with absurd sexist/bigoted barriers, I will smash through them! Nothing can stop me. <br /><br />well maybe that makes me unsympathetic to the cause and to sisterhood, etc. and i recognize my point of view is definitely not representative of my gender, so with that in mind, yeah. You're right. You are more concerned with feminism than I am - I think it is every person's responsibility to stand up for their own rights and their duty to make sure they are strong enough to not be defeated when the petty idiots of the world try to take them down. I encourage that attitude in my friends and family. Maybe I am wrong, but that is how I feel.<br /><br />And as I stated in our previous argument, I used "machismo" incorrectly. I apologize for my miscommunication. The idea that i was attempting to convey was that courage, personal strength, ambition, moxie, etc. are important traits that should be valued. If someone lacks those traits, I feel they need to either nourish them inside themselves or find a partner that has them to "complete" them and find balance. Do you want to dismiss my opinion of that?
