Remember that quiz many of us were taking a few months ago, about whether you identified more as a radical feminist, socialist feminist, liberal feminist, cultural feminist, etc. Well apparently according to some (probably most) men who ponder this question there are only 2 types of feminists: ugly and attractive. Who knew? The link expostulating this theory is hilariously unoriginal and unintentionally stupid.

Remember there are two types of people in the world: those who divide people into 2 types and those who don’t.

I’ve been reading some of the old posts of Mansplainin/Transplainin, which the Transborg was successful in getting censored and removed from Wordpress. This one in particular tickled my funny bone. (Yes, I know it’s sad, but still….)

In the meantime this male privilege thing is a blast (sorry for you, girls)!!

Facebook censorship of feminists being somewhat common, this article may give a little insight into the (lack of) thought often involved in the process. Funny my complaints about rapey violent images of women never ever result in the photo being taken down, though.

From Gender Identity Watch:

“The Massachusetts Gender Identity Act (Ch. 199, 2011), effective on July 1, 2012, bans discrimination in employment and housingbased on gender identity. “Gender identity” means a person’s gender-related identity, appearance or behavior, whether or not that gender-related identity, appearance or behavior is different from that traditionally associated with the person’s physiology or assigned sex at birth. Gender-related identity may be shown by providing evidence including, but not limited to, medical history, care or treatment of the gender-related identity, consistent and uniform assertion of the gender-related identity or any other evidence that the gender-related identity is sincerely held as part of a person’s core identity; provided, however, that gender-related identity shall not be asserted for any improper purpose”

I’m no lawyer so I don’t really know…but it looks positive in that it is specific about exactly what kind of discrimination is being banned and it requires proof that the person sincerely believes they are that identity. Maybe a trend away from the troublesome vagueness that has plagued gender identity legislation?

SO YOU THINK HE’S CHEATING ON YOU?

NO, IT’S NOT THAT. I THINK HE’S UNSATISFIED IN THE RELATIONSHIP SO HE’S PUTTING HIMSELF IN SITUATIONS WHERE THAT SORT OF THING COULD HAPPEN. JUST KIND OF TESTING THE WATERS, YOU KNOW? I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF IT’S A CONSCIOUS MANEUVER. HE MIGHT HAVE CONVINCED HIMSELF IT’S ALL HARMLESS, FRIENDLY SOCIAL INTERACTION. IT’S NOT CHEATING BECAUSE HE DOESN’T INTEND TO CHEAT, BUT THAT’S STILL WHERE IT’S ALL HEADED, YOU UNDERSTAND?

I GUESS SO, YEAH.

IF I TRY TO CONFRONT HIM ABOUT IT HE’LL USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO MAYBE CROSS THE LINE, RIGHT? OR TO END THE RELATIONSHIP. HE’LL SAY I’M BEING JEALOUS, OR CONTROLLING, BUT I’VE TRIED TO BE MORE LOVING AND ATTENTIVE AND IT DOESN’T WORK. HE’S DISENGAGED, EMOTIONALLY, AND IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THINGS GO SOUTH. MY WINGS ARE TIED ON THIS ONE. I DON’T HAVE ANY VIABLE OPTIONS, BUT I DON’T WANT TO LOSE HIM, SO …

SO YOU WANT ME TO EAT THE GIRLS HE WORKS WITH.

YES. IF I DO ANYTHING IT WILL JUST TURN INTO ANOTHER FIGHT, WHICH I’M TRYING TO AVOID. IF THEY DON’T SHOW UP ON MONDAY … WELL, SHIT HAPPENS, RIGHT? AND MAYBE IT BUYS ME ENOUGH TIME TO REMIND HIM WE’RE IN LOVE.

YOU’RE GOING TO OWE ME BIG TIME. YOU KNOW THAT.

I KNOW, ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU, CHRISTINE. I MEAN IT. YOU’RE A GOOD FRIEND.

Insurance mandates covering “gender reassignment” surgery raise questions.

Dear Cis Cowpokes, When I call you Cis gunslingers or Cissie gunslingers, that’s not an insult. Don’t get mad.
