Inequities.

Inequities.

Post by Uberking Robert » Wed Nov 23, 2005 1:28 am

Why is it that when a woman is loyal to her own gender she's "gender loyal", and yet when a man is loyal to his own gender he's sexist or misogynistic? Why is it that men are always wrong and are the ones who have to apologize? Why do women automatically win court cases? Why is it that if a woman is a virgin she's honored, respected and pure and yet a man who's a virgin is automatically a queer? Why is it that when some men say sexist things about women, other men stick up for women and yet when feminists say sexist things about men, other women don't stick up for men? Why is it good for women to criticize men and yet a crime for men to criticize women? Why is it that when women say sexual sexist things about men it's alright but if men say sexual sexist things about women then all of a sudden they're pigs? And women dare to claim THEY hve it the hard way. Yeah, right. Gimme a break.

They aren't. Either way around it's f*cking stupid.

Ditto for virgin stereotypes... etc, etc, etc. Find a peer group who aren't bastards, basically.

Yep, pretty much. Not everyone thinks the same way either... nothing is ever always one certain way.

That would be great if it were true though, wouldn't it?

"[female journalist] printed a newspaper article calling me a rapist! I'm suing for defamation of character!"
"Sorry, you lose on the Chick Rule."

"She stole my Batman comics!"
"Chick Rule."

"Shoplifting bitch!"
"Chick Rule."

"Stupid cow never should have eaten that apple - she's the reason we're not in paradise. I want compensation!"
"Chick Rule."

And so on?
Grrr. Argh.

The above being obvioulsy true i'm curious as to how the human race has lasted this long, seeing as no women would want to lose her virginity as she gets mad props for it and no man would want to lose his as he is apparently gay and so only into man ass.

So how have we procreated?

I can only conclude that we are in fact magic.

Equity and Equality have very little to do with each other.

Even less than they do with Equestrianism, Equoral and Equus.

God moves in mysterious ways... :D

I wonder if there'll be a topic where the Uberking will actually reply to something we say. Should be educating.

Well, considering there've been many replies, it's likely we won't see him for several days while he has a rest and time to recover from the shock.

Or, there could be a case of random capitals fired at the topic in a few minutes time.

I wasn't sure if he meant iniquities and couldn't spell it.

Anyway, for a guy who's banging on about "pussification" and how men aren't real men any more, he sure sounds like a whiny little bitch to me. I mean, since when was criticising a woman a crime? Since when were men always wrong? I may wear a skirt, nail varnish and eyeliner, but I'm right about 80-90% of the time, dammit.

On a related note, did anyone see The Taming Of The Shrew on Beeb 1 this week? Awesome. Simply awesome.

Oh I've had my share of slaps, bruises and deadlegs, believe me, but it's hardly a matter for the Old Bill?

...I can't believe he didn't bring up the old "women get cheaper car insurance" argument as well. At least that one is grounded in reality.

Either would be relevant, actually. their implications can be the same.

I just followed the path of Equality of the Sexes, when it may have more to do with injustices.

I was told it was all thanks to storks.
Apparently, female babies get to fly first class, {100% cotton safety hammock, toys, rusks, milk, in-flight movie) while the poor, eternally biased-against male babies just get carried by their toes.
I suspect Uberboy Bob was dropped on his head a few times before he made it into his crib. If he even had one. I bet his sister got the crib and he just got a catbasket.

Be nice to storks, kids.
