I feel like the question has an answer I'm supposed to know, but I'm not allowed to ask it, and discussing it is verboten
I do not know the fish joke, no

i agree - ppl should spend more time choosing their shots when they express a public opinion. good questions to ask before doing so "what do i aim to accomplish from this" "will this benefit people reading it"
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:43 (four years ago) link
shakey the answer is that it is too case dependent to give a binary answer but getting into the weeds is where all the bitterness and mess is and i don't feel confident in ilx's ability to discuss it really. nb i wouldn't have blocked the thread bc "free speech ethics" but i 100% understand the reason for doing so
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:44 (four years ago) link
there seems to be some disagreement about it being case dependent afaict. as well as what the criteria are for evaluating cases are or should be.
but yeah what is this accomplishing, I'm not learning anything and ppl are jumping all over me so .... anyway.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:47 (four years ago) link
I mean, if it's case dependent, then the binary answer is clearly 'no' :)

it's not that it's a bad conversation to have even as provocatively stated as it is it's that ilx (and any "public forum") is not the right place to have it

in reference to the actual discussion here...
y'all guys got shit you need to figure out, if part of that process is asking "yeah but how much do we need to listen to and respect women _really_?" i understand that, no for real i do, if that's what you need to do to get past this fucking Italian Spiderman approach to women, do it. i will also respect you less and will feel less comfortable communicating in an environment where y'all are still discussing the "woman question" from the 1890s.
i'm sorry for the Italian Spiderman reference, i know that one is kind of obscure

i just don't get it, why would you wear a hat talking about your beard? i mean we can see your beard. do you worry that the beard doesn't speak for itself? is "beard blindness" a thing? is this the male equivalent of those t-shirts that say "HEY I HAVE BOOBS"?
honestly, the impression i get is not that you are proud of your beard, but that you are insecure about your beard. is that really the message you're trying to send?
