I am racist but I don't want races to be eliminated just because I think my own is superior. If I was to voice that: "OMG YOU RAPIST" But when a woman does it, it's fine(!) It's dandy(!) Hunky-fucking-dory(!)

Oh. And here I thought your previous post was INSTRUCTIONS, not a nasty 'well screw you chicks, hage' comment. Now I has a sad.

Seriously, we've got some irritating people in ALL aspects and walks of life. You can't just go around lumping them all into one group to hate on, just because some have pissed you off for one thing or other - even if your complaints are legit. I mean really. I'm a woman, and I just pretty much stated I have no issues with men - even some of their less attractive bits like the farting, the announcing they have to pee, the godsbedamned snoring to wake the dead, the fact it takes them 2 minutes to get ready while it takes me at least 20. Anyways. Rambling there.

Point is, don't troll with your hate. It's icky. And it's wrong. And you may perhaps even ought to feel somewhat badly for it.

Hi , why are you going after misogynists but not the ones shouting kill all the men?

That wouldn't remove the quite important matter of "gender identity".

Ah, yes it would, when put with a sharp decline in transphobia. When you can identify as whatever you like, and do whatever you like within reason to your own body, there's no need to put sex and gender together.

Further, we need the concept and vocabulary of "gender" in order to articulate for progressive change in overly restrictive roles. Without these materials we're back in the dark ages without the appropriate language to challenge hegemonic gender norms - the radical position of gender abolitionism is inherently regressive.

Ok, I'll concede that. It's not something you could just "do". It'd take generations. But ultimately it should be the direction we're moving in.

Procrastinate is what actually goes on.
I've seen it happen.
Some males also suffer from this problem.
The difference is, females get a stereotype about them made from it because a lot of females take only slightly longer to prepare due to makeup and stuff.

Most Males: 5 minutes
Some Males: 30 minutes
Most Females: 10 minutes
Some Females: 1 hour.

The result of the slightly higher than norm for males coupled with the existence of procrastinators skews perceptions.
Coupled with relaxed expectations, there are probably more procrastinators among females since they are "allowed" to live up to the stereotype and wont stress about being late.

Bah. That's for taking longer and fussing about things. Shower, hair, makeup, clothes - come on, lads. 20's like a bare minimum. You don't think this just 'happens', do you? *strikes a pose*

Seriously though. Back on topic. Men are not redundant. Do want. There ya go.

Anyway, yeah, making men redundant - an odd way of putting it - is silly. I personally, well, I take the line that WC Fields expressed in a film. He was speaking about women, of course, but ... men are like elephants to me, I like to look at them but I wouldn't want to own one.

I can't act in an official capacity in a thread I'm participating in. That would create all manner of inconsistencies and problems. You have an issue to report, go report it in Moderation, and an uninvolved mod will take a look.

No, although if men are only wanted on this Earth so the human race can continue, then we may as well kill ourselves and save others the hassle.

*Eventually* gender roles may homogenize to the point that physical sex is redundant and of no note to anyone but fetishists. But that eventually is a long way, and several sociological u-turns away.
