because SOMEHOW it is always socially acceptable to mock women

[soliloquy76.livejournal.com]

It is, but not for being a woman.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Being a woman is less mocking. Being a girl though?

Nobody feels any pain....

Conservative humor, it's a difficult concept.

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

It's all kind of plug-in jokes, right? Like "Wow the weather is really (weather condition) lately, but not as (weather condition) as what (politician)'s been up to in Washington!" hyuk hyuk hyuk

[badlydrawnjeff.livejournal.com]

It occasionally works, like here. Not often, though.

Only if you have a twisted heart.

[angelcerv25.livejournal.com]

I established long ago jeff has no heart whatsoever. He actually thinks this is funny!

[usekh.livejournal.com]

I have, sometimes to my embarrassment, a deeply twisted sense of humor. This ain't funny.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Looks to be the sausage fest I would expect. I wonder why more women aren't into it?

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

Men have very delicate feelings that if not acknowledged, may have to be expressed with a hail of bullets.

The NRA had a Facebook post today about how three of the victims were stabbed to death, so why aren't we talking about banning kitchenware?

Because any woman who dares to talk sense is viciously attacked by rabid pseudofeminists... cf. Christina Sommers, Naomi Wolf, et al.

Ida is not amused. Neither am I.

[cinnamontoast.livejournal.com]

I noticed that there's no carpet.

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

The better to roll with.

[cinnamontoast.livejournal.com]

And easier to clean.

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

Yes, with pets, I think less carpeting is better.

Love vs. Luxury

meh. i prefer pictures of cats. 1.5/10

[angelcerv25.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's it exactly!

[musicpsych.livejournal.com]

I laughed.

[angelcerv25.livejournal.com]

Misogyny is alive and well, clearly.

And people call me paranoid that I get scared of being murdered for my Intersex/Trans status. I rank way lower on the gender hierarchy than a woman! And the fact is, I am way more statistically likely to be murdered than cis-gendered people. Brandon Teena got shot in the face.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Its not paranoia if you know the stats.

Homophobia and transphobia are sub-categories of sexism. I admire your courage.

[angelcerv25.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks

[angelcerv25.livejournal.com]

Oh man I shouldn't have looked at the spreadsheets. It lays it out so clearly. Have you noticed the murder rate against Trans is going up? 1970-75 saw 12 Trans folk murdered, then it jumps up to 62 in 2012 alone. (No data on 2013 or 2014 but I really want it).

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Some of that is it wasn't as reported in the past. Sad but true.

[angelcerv25.livejournal.com]

I thought of that...it is more likely we Trans folk are going to try to be open than in the past.

[angelcerv25.livejournal.com]

Even I try to be open...but I gets scared for my safeties...you just can't tell with some people. I've been in some hairy situations as it is. Someone once raped me in that "you're a freak and this will correct you" kind of way. Once I got cornered by some hombres in a train station men's bathroom in Cali. Luckily a security guard came by and my skinny self ran off.

Bathrooms are the worst thing, the bane of my existence.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

rough trade's no joke. Sorry that happened. Hopefully you found some better people?

[angelcerv25.livejournal.com]

Meh, they come and go. I don't have much of a social life, truly.

[cinnamontoast.livejournal.com]

Well, we removed the carpet because the cat kept puking on it. We changed the food, did everything we could, but the puking continued. Removing the carpet makes it easier to clean up the mess. We love our cat more than carpet.

Also this:

I'm not allowed to comment on this.

That said... TRY AND BE FUNNY. YOU ARE NOT FUNNY.

The basic premise of humor is to shed a new light on a familiar thing, hence absurdity:
"You have a banana in your ear."
"What?"
"I said, you have a banana in your ear!"
"What??"
"YOU HAVE A BANANA IN YOUR EAR!!!"
"Sorry! Can't hear you! I have a banana in my ear!"
This is humor because we are ignoring the absurd premise... why is there a banana in his ear? Doesn't matter, we are instead dealing with the consequences thereof. We are expecting an explanation, but instead get calm acceptance.

This is not humor because it takes a situation which is a rebellion of the status quo, and rebells against it... thus making it... the status quo.
"You have a hearing-aid in your ear."
"Yes, I know. It lets me overcome my difficulties in hearing."

Que crickets chirping.

This is humor because men and women are already completely equal with no environmental differences therefore this is not punching down humor.
