    If that is the case, I could make a campaign about anything based off internet comments. Does anyone really feel internet comments are a true reflection of society? Of course not. It’s still selfish to hijack this tragedy for this purpose. And if this was a male orientated discussion that originated from the same circumstances, it would be viewed as being disgusting, as opposed to uplifting.

    Hypocrites are the worse kind of person. Regardless of gender.

    The real problem was the Asperger’s, which made it hard for him to deal with emotion. He probably felt like an outcast from a very young age. That much time feeling like an outcast could very well lead to sociopathic tendencies.

    My main point stands, this isn’t about feminism in anyway. it’s about mental issues. But I will (and have by certain women I know) been called a woman hater and sexists because I have called turning this into a dialogue about feminism and so called equality as self centred. Even though I don’t have a sexist bone in my body.

    First off, I was unaware that the hashtag started because of SC. I am pretty disgusted that the tragedy that occurred on the weekend has been hijacked for this reason. No one has talked about how he had Asperger’s and Autism and the impact this had on his line of thinking.

    In reality it’s pretty self-centred to take this event and make it about this. And I am fairly disgusted with the majority of people who have participated for ignoring the real issues of mental illness and it’s impact on the person and society.

    On top of that the majority of the tweets are so ridiculous it isn’t funny. For example “Men being the ones to decide what makes a woman beautiful”. The majority of the population is heterosexual, so no shit that men will be the driving force behind what is considered beautiful in a woman. IT’S CALLED ATTRACTION! And it doesn’t stop with physical looks, which this tweet would have you believe. Also, are the women who think this placing blame on lesbians as well, who would also be responsible for this apparent problem? Of course not. Nor do they recognise that women and gay men decide what makes men attractive, or that men don’t complain at all about that.

    I am not saying they isn’t inequality in the world. There certainly is. But most of the tweets I saw (and it was quite a few, because everyone thought it was a good idea to jump on the band wagon), at least half of them were so hypocritical it was laughable. I could honestly count on one hand, out the extremely large number of males that I know, who could be considered sexist. But hey, according to militant feminists, the extreme minority is an indicator of the entire population.

    I am so against the office romance. I have seen it work once (sure they got married and had three kids and were ridiculously happy), but I have seen far more drama unfold because of them.

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on Thoughts From A "Fat Girl"

    My Fiancee isn’t super skinny (not obese by any stretch, she is curvy), and neither do I want her to be. As long as you’re healthy and not going to have any health issues from your weight, then be happy with who you are. I love how she looks. Also, because she isn’t preoccupied with her weight, we can actually eat all kinds of food and her not feel guilty about it or start to count the calories and make the moment a chore.

    However, I would like to reiterate, everyone should strive to be healthy. It will make you quality of life increase exponentially, plus you’ll live long enough to see teleportation, which should be a dream for everyone!

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on 10 Video Games That Defined Your Childhood

    No Mercy 64, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Smackdown 2, Pro Evo Soccer, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Capcom vs SNK 2. These games are what shaped my teenage years. Talking childhood then it’s Alex the Kidd in Miracle World, Wonder Boy (1, 2 and 3), Enduro Racer, Sensible Soccer. This was back before save games even existed, and if you wanted to beat something, it had to be done in one sitting.

    Yeeeaaahhhh… you clearly haven’t experienced crippling heat for four months straight. You can always put more clothes on when you’re cold. There’s only so many clothes you can take off before you are arrested for public exposure.

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on What A Girl's Job Says About Her Personality

    The line about “I’m talking about women here people!” reminded me of Bill Burr when he’s talking about gold digging whores. Classic. If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing Bill Burr (shame on you!), I recommend you youtube him. It is amazing.

    Also, pretty much nailed it. Word of advice: Steer clear from women who work in HR. They have an over inflated sense of importance that isn’t based on any achievements whatsoever. Much like their chosen profession.

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on 5 Reasons Why Millennials Are Actually The Best Generation

    I’m not saying there shouldn’t be a discussion. But if you fundamentally disagree with someone, then there’s a solid chance that discussion will become a fight where both people regurgitate facts and stats like it’s their job. Which isn’t fun for anybody. My point is, our generation realizes that people have different opinions on subjects, we just don’t want people shoving their opinion down our throats.
