The unpopular opinion thread

[TheSanityAnnex]

this might be with the majority, but women comedians are terrible. there has never been one slightly funny woman comedian ever.

Lisa Lampanelli is pretty ing funny.

My unpopular opinion:

I think the objectification of female and female traits and genitalia that occurs on here is disgusting. Calling men who do not perform well on a basketball court pussies or s or referring to them as bleeding vaginas or attempting to emasculate them by assigning female traits or using gender stereotypes is demeaning to women. It makes me really sad to see this stuff thrown around casually as if it's really acceptable, when I think it is totally the opposite. The basis of this crap assumes that women are inferior to men and it attempts to make fun of a man or insult a man by emasculation/womanizing him. This assumption that women are on a lower level than men is wrong, imo, and it really bothers me.

I suppose you can go ahead and cue the feminist rhetoric bull that gets thrown around now.

Agreed. Same thing goes for referring to everything bad as "gay."

I agree with that (though there are some chick flicks I like).

The thing that made me think of that was actually watching one of the very few that I have enjoyed and seeing how it succeeds where so many others fail.

And yes, religion is the perverbial double-edged sword. The greatest ins utions and nearly ALL early scientific achievements can be attributed to Christianity (in the West anyway....cant speak for the East, but they obviously werent/arent Christian).

That right there is so dense with misconceptions I don't know where to begin to unpack it.

But then again, so can (pre-18th century) war, every genocide (all of them) and not to mention how Christianity was "spread" and the countless lives lost to that endeavor.

Apparently your knowledge of Eastern history is quan atively zero.

Black people are owed something because of what their ancestors went through.

[Extra Stout]

"The greatest ins utions" like Roman law?
"and nearly ALL early scientific achievements" like the ones of the ancient Greeks, or those of the Moors in al-Andalus?
"can be attributed to Christianity" or rather to a social system where the Church ran the schools?
"(in the West anyway....cant speak for the East, but they obviously werent/arent Christian)." Orthodox Christians aren't Christians?

"so can (pre-18th century) war" every war (no) or just some (Crusades)?
"every genocide (all of them)" the Turks were Christians? Really? Josef Stalin too?
"and not to mention how Christianity was "spread" and the countless lives lost to that endeavor." do you mean that most or all Christian conversion was forced (nonsense) or just that instances did exist (Theodosius & the Eastern Empire, Charlemagne & the Saxons, the Reconquista)?

Women are inferior to men.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

But anyway...you think you're missing out on something, but you really aren't. It's fun for a few minutes...but it's pretty hollow if you want to know the truth about it.

Pretty much sums up marriage, no?

Pretty much sums up marriage, no?

Not my marriage, at least from my pov. I will let my husband speak for himself.

Social construct or not, biologically necessary or not, my marriage has made me much happier than I was before marriage and has increased my odds of propagating the species.

Thanks, Midge. Knew I could count on you.

Sarah Silverman is funny.

[peewee's lovechild]

Lisa Lampanelli is pretty ing funny.

Annoying yes, funny . . . meh.

[peewee's lovechild]

Black people are owed something because of what their ancestors went through.

Mexicans and their progeny are owed half of the U.S.

I wasn't really being serious. Some people are happy being married, some feel trapped, some just go through the motions, etc.

Same thing with being single.

Trying to shoehorn everyone into one category or lifestyle never works.

[tp2021]

Its annoying when posters talk about how great their marriages are.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Annoying yes, funny . . . meh.

Much like yourself no?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Point, Cobra Kai.

[tp2021]

Lisa Lampanelli is a riot.
Sarah Silverman can be funny, but she is mostly annoying.

I will refer all to my previous statement in this thread.

Um, yeah, what the chick with the jugs said, dude.

Agree with that!

I think they are both funny as .

Lisa Lampanelli gets the edge though.

My point exactly. I am Mexican-American and could cry that we are owed as well. If they did decide to give land back to black people like they said whose land do you think it would be? I was told one time by some coward to go back to Mexico where I belong. First off that dude shouted that out of a moving car and didn’t have the nuts to try and say that to someone face to face. Second tracing MY family roots will show that we are from TEXAS. Always have been always will be. I felt like telling him to go back to Germany or England or wherever the he came from.
Besides historically just about every race has been subjected to slavery at some point.

[whottt]

Just out of curisosity...

If a man calls another man a ...does that mean he thinks men are inferior?
If a man calls another man an ahole does that mean he thinks everything is inferior?


Coversely, if a woman says another woman acts like a man, or if a man says it to a woman...does that mean they think men are inferior?


Men need to be able to insult each other...it's an essential part of building a relationship and communicating.

[remingtonbo2001]

Really?

If anyone is owed anything, it's the Native Americans.

[peewee's lovechild]

If they did decide to give land back to black people

What do you mean "give land back to black people"?

They never had land here.
