Craigslist hilarity

Yeah, I thought Feministing *was* a pun on fisting. Like, 'we are powerful women and we will fist you' or something. But the other explanation definitely makes more sense.

u see *different perspectives*

* -_- *

must resist urge to change log-in name. that is a memorable phrase you've coined there, emil.y.

do you feminist blog readers out there like Tiger Beatdown? (if that's not too much of a derail)

major xps to kate

it depends i mean, i have very definite feminist issues that i care a lot about that i'm doing my best to learn about. the main one is abortion, because abortion rights in Ireland are insane and how that intersects w/ class issues (privileged access to abortion is in my opinion the major reason abortion laws are how they are in this country) and because technology and the body and your rights over your own body intersect w/ trans/intersex issues. And i mean, this is really what I'm trying to educate myself on atm (and ilx has been really good because it has introduced me to a few takes on abortion issues that wouldnt really come up on my radar and that has been v. enlightening).

I think the status of abortion in Ireland means that there is a real urgency around these issues for me but it also means that its really easy to get into trouble (like an argument i really didnt want to get into w/ this surprisingly "pro-life" girl who basically said i had no right to have an opinion about abortion at all and keep my hands off her unborn child or w/e) But I've definitely said some really stupid things in the past trying to defend my position, but I definitely dont regret it because it has helped me learn and grow, and while I DEFINITELY take yr point kate that a little more listening than talking is always required, sometimes you just have to try and say what you feel, especially if you think nobody else will say it instead.

Maybe it's time to start a Feminist Blogs/Communities I Have Known... thread instead of cluttering up craigslist...

x-post sorry, Plax

np

this feels like the worst hangover ever

sure, I backed an outsider because I saw something in it, but it still crashed out with my money

a true PUA never buys a girl a drink, it's true

piece uf ass?

poor, underage alcoholic

I refuse to believe that Why I Didn't Buy You A Drink post isn't an elaborate parody. I initially thought that it needed a hot chick waiting in bed for him but actually the last paragraph probably surpasses that.

Wow at that guy, what a fucking jerk! Max and Kate are totally OTM I think.

the guy sounds like an aspie dick

Wouldn't go anywhere near as far as "aspie" but the guy's whole steez is approaching "a pint of your finest foaming ale, stout yeoman of the bar" for sure.

wait do you have to HAVE a tumblr to follow things on tumblr. should i have a tumblr. idk tell me something. max.

you don't need a tumblr to read tumblr!

well thats okay then. anyway tumblr kindof pisses me off maybe. i feel like i should have some contrarian view but i cant think of any.

new board description pls

no you dont ikr you can just subscribe to the rss feed or check it every day or wvr

cannot believe any straight single guy anywhere would refuse to buy a cute girl a drink if he's been having decent conversation with her for 20 minutes. unless he's on some fucked up Mystery shit or something

When I was younger (like late teens), I used to rail about how the guy-treats-the-girl dynamic was antiquated and unfair, especially since I was never in a position where I made substantially more money than whoever I was with. (And I still don't! My girlfriend makes like 30% more than I do!) But after a while, I realized that paying for someone's drink or movie ticket doesn't have to be an element in some unpleasant transactional game that codifies social roles and comes with all sorts of other burdens and expectations -- instead, it can just be a Nice and Generous Thing to Do.

tbh i tend to 'splash out' on the likes of movie tickets/meals/whatever which just leaves my GF paying for the bin charges at the end of the quarter so chivalry isn't really in it

What are bin charges?

This would pretty much be my take on this as well. In the situation described by the moany individual, I'd have just bought the girl a drink, I mean big deal, a drink's cheap even in a wanky club, and if you want to look at it as a transactional type thing, the enjoyment one would get from talking in a flirty manner w/an attractive person is probably worth the cost anyway. LOL, I'm old, etc.

i love how people who are out drinking at bars are able to describe themselves as broke without the slightest self-awareness

What are bin charges?

ran it through babelfish and i believe it's what you'd call garbage collection fees

the enjoyment one would get from talking in a flirty manner w/an attractive person is probably worth the cost anyway

still a transactional POV tho pash?

"and if you want to look at it as a transactional type thing...."

ha sry man got to stop skim reading like that

Not a craiglist post, but I was reminded of this thread when I read this bunch of comments: http://www.avclub.com/articles/double-datemom,43681/ -- my jaw dropped in shock while reading. Here's a quote:

I didn't just "meet them". Nessa Devil let me pretend to have doggy style sex with her and even ground her ass into me and when I told my friends at the convention this figuring it was no big deal they were SHOCKED because she was very standoffish with most guys there and didn't want to talk to anyone, she must have found my self confidence, sense of humor, and MATURITY refreshing compared to the other guys who admittedly fit your mocking caricature of a typical adult expo visitor. We''re all there because we respect women and are fascinated with there erotic qualities, very few of us are misogynists who have idiotic views of women as submissive sex objects who only exist to fulfill banal fantasies.

love this:

I really hit it off with Chastity lynn and she agreed to have sex with me in her hotel room for only 400 dollars! That is practically giving it away, especially compared to what some creepy old guy would have paid her and she kissed me on the mouth the whole time without me asking and she had two orgasms and we talked the whole night. Most porn stars contrary to popular belief do not have sex for money off camera, and to get someone as amazing and impossibly beautiful as Chastity FREAKING Lynn to have sex with me means that I have qualities and charm that make women feel at ease. And YES I have had sex with women in real relationships that are beautiful who don't do porn but I am dedicated to my work and am not currently capable of the give and take and compromise that make up most real relationships. I also love making women who do porn feel special and intelligent, since most of them just want love and not to be looked at like a "whore" which is obviously your dismissive view of them.

oh jesus

hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooweee

hard to choose a sentence in that paragraph really

That second one is...just....nnnngghhhhh.......

he made her feel special and intelligent and gave her two orgams and 400 dollars

these are fake right?

the orgams?

i'd say so

well they're fake in that the posts are fake, right

let me ask my internet forger friend -- he might be able to tell

by the pixels?

i mean just tryna be real before ppl go all slc craigslist on these

he says that if it's fake it's an excellent forgery

ha if those are a parody theyre *very* good
