I have no conceptual problem as a cishet man with wearing skirts, but I’ve worn drag on stage in high school and it was sort of hard to stop flashing people my underwear at various points and that would be all I would think about if I wore a skirt now.
Can you imagine casting for “Ugly Girlfriend?” Can you imagine being the girl who got the part? Can you imagine being a girl who got turned down for the part, especially if the mean kids in middle school found out? “haha did you hear Stephanie is too ugly to get cast as ‘Ugly Girlfriend’ in the John Hughes movie!”
They’re not degrading men. They just know that if someone finds out that boy was the ugly girlfriend photo, the worst insult they can reasonably make out of it is “dude, you’re an ugly girl.” To which the boy can say, “yeah, that was the whole point.”
This men’s rights nonsense is stupid, but even more stupid when the complaint itself doesn’t make sense.

Men having rights is not stupid. “Men’s Rights” is stupid, because we already have them. Any man who has fewer rights than a woman in modern society is discriminated as such because of something about them other than their gender.
It’s like fighting for the rights of drivers of passenger cars on the road, or the rights of cute puppies to be adopted from the pet shop. It’s like owning the Extended Edition of Lord of the Rings and demanding a scene that was in the theatrical cut. It’s like buying a cheeseburger at McDonald’s and specifying that you want it to include beef. It’s like playing Smash Bros against level 1 CPUs with all weapons on and complaining that you didn’t get the hammer. It’s like fighting for LeBron’s right to play basketball; to wit, nobody’s stopping him.
I’m strong enough in my masculinity that I don’t have to pretend to be oppressed just to feel good about myself.

That’s not quite true. At least not in Norway. There are more women than men in higher education in Norway. Despite that fact, gender points is still a thing, and it still favours women heavily. These points makes it easier to get into the study you want.
The school system in general is designed around women. Girls in Norway are getting higher grades than boys when the tests are not anonmyized. When they’re anonymized, the genders ties. Looks like the teachers subjective opinions has some negative implications for a lot of boys future
In general, a lot of places were women have it worse than men are being adressed. Sometimes retarded stuff are being adressed, like women fighting to get free menstrual products (paid for by taxes, so basically paid for by men). Yet 75% of suicides are done by men, and it’s not being properly adressed.
I can go on a lot btw, I barely just scratched the surface.
I don’t have anywhere near enough knowledge about Norwegian politics to be able to speak on any of that. All I can tell you is that, worldwide, men have all the rights, and women only have some of them.
By the way, I recommend against using the “R” word (“Sometimes r— stuff are being addressed”). It’s a slur against people with mental illnesses.
Nah, he probably had sisters, or cousins, or nieces, and he understood he had to take that one for the team. He’s proud today. He tells the story & laughs!
Look at that photo. It’s such a small part, but he posed for a great photo. I only notice as an adult who has tried to take a photo of kids. Man, they don’t know how to “smile naturally” or take any direction. Then this kid nails “smile like you like me against my wishes” or whatever direction was given.
That’s what a lot of those dangerous nuclear materials were labeled. Not that it mattered that much because by the time you read that you likely only have a few months to live (radiation kills your immune system)
Historically … Christmas about 150 to 200 years ago was more like Halloween than modern day Christmas
Which is the main reason why Charles Dickens ‘A Christmas Carol’ features ghosts and spirits. It was a time to tell dark stories and legends to scare people because the Winter Solstice was known in pagan times as the ‘darkest time of the year’ … the winter solstice is the longest day night of the year and the belief was that on that day was when the forces of darkness had reached their peak and that the light was now returning.
Early Christians co opted the same period to correspond with the birth of Christ partly because of this same or similar messaging.
If you look up modern historians analysis of what time of year Christ might have been born, it turns out it was probably in the spring time rather than during the winter solstice.
Honestly, Halloween is becoming as bad as Christmas. Just like the Christmas season is far too long, I’ve noticed Halloween is creeping longer and longer. It has a long way to go before it’s at Christmas levels, but during the Halloween season, it is starting to feel just as pervasive. Halloween themed decorations, movies, parties, etc… Halloween to Millenials feels a lot like Christmas was to Boomers. Always chasing that dream of bigger, better, perfect.
‘I’m going to play this movie like I’m working with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I will never wink, I will never do anything Muppety. I am going to play Scrooge as if it is an utterly dramatic role and there are no puppets around me.’
I love how he mostly took the role so his daughter could see him in something, since she was too young to see most of his stuff, but he ended up really enjoying it and considered it one of his best roles.
