the-guvnah asked: First of all, our military is already grotesquely over-sized for our need. Secondly, How the fuck does it stop ANYONE from joining? Nobody's being disenfranchised from their right to serve, they're being told that their body is, rationally, not their own /while they're active/.
I agree with you on the first point, but what I meant by that is that less people would want to join, but I guess coupled with the first fact, that wouldn’t matter.

Got a book shelf for free when I was helping Mandii move yesterday. So happy to finally have all the books off the floor. Now if only there was a spot for comics.

Anonymous asked: I don't think feminists even really understand the female experience when it comes to puberty or teenagerhood either. If they did they'd realise that the friendzone isn't just something that boys get put into by girls and that girls can be just as bitter about it as boys.
Hell, that extends after puberty even-for both sides!

Anonymous asked: When I was in middle school (and in my early high-school years, too) I was nigh-on indiscriminate regarding my crushes. That's the way teenagers behave. That's the way they are. That's not people being bastards, that's human development, and that feminists are so willing to confuse the two certainly speaks volumes regarding the movement.
I just think they don’t understand puberty beyond the female experience.

Anonymous asked: Was just browsing RationWiki and I noticed the article on misandry (link would be here but not allowed). Since the site is frequented by atheists and a lot of atheists happen to be feminists or feminist-inclined (as seen in the attempt to associate atheism with feminism by some via Atheism+) it contains typical feminist bullshit. For example, misandry doesn't exist because it isn't "institutional", like misogyny (where are all these misogynistic laws and rules that supposedly exist?)
Urgh, it’s in the school and legal systems! That’s fucking institutionalized!

Anonymous asked: Part of the issue with pregnancy in the military is that a small percentage of women will go into the military, get pregnant, then continue to get paid for a job they basically aren't doing. They see it as an easy paycheck, and it's created a great deal of animosity for military women. There will be people who will abuse any system, and unfair rules are often made to try and stop them, usually hurting good people more than the intended target.
I read about that in a Warren Farrell book, but never talked about it, ‘cause I am not dealing with that shitstorm.

Anonymous asked: And yea my sisters best friend got pregnant in the military and appearently got a dishonorable discharge. Which is worse then a felony to be honest. in terms of jobs. the thing is pregnancy puts you out of commission for anywhere up to a year depending and n the military thats basicallly using up their time that they "own" you as.
That’s fucking ridiculous and unacceptable. Why aren’t people freaking out about this? I think this is stupid and incredibly sexist.
