CHICAGO: If Hepatitis C Were Attacking Your Face Instead of Your Liver You'd Be Doing Something About It

Courtesy flushing. Do you? Why or why not?

horeshoe, i am going to continue calling you horseshoe in public because i think it's an awesome nickname. let me know if it gets on your nerves.

Think about what's on your iPod. You have your favorite songs you play over and over, but every once in a while, you're in the mood to hear something you haven't played in a long time. You don't need to hear it but once every month or so, but still, you appreciate the changeup.

Women are like iPods. I've never thought of it like that. What a refreshing perspective.

i've known way more women to cheat than dudes.

Yeah, I was gonna say. Well, not way more, but God, how old is this stereotype, anyway?

can I admit I'm not sure how "courtesy" flushing is different than just flushing?

Men cheat because they are biologically compelled to (whereas women are biologically compelled, to paraphrase Lisa Jervis, use their vaginas as fly paper in which to trap wedding rings); they are bored with their current sex lives (read: once women trap said men, they stop liking to fuck and so on some level deserve to be cheated on); they are too emotionally stunted to maturely end a relationship; or a clever iPod-analogy rehash of the biological compulsion.

Now, as a woman, I find a lot to object to in that article. My question to you mens is whether you find those so-called biological gender imperatives equally as oppressive? I mean, doesn't it piss you off to be told again and again that you're not much more than a giant, erect penis thrusting about, searching for a home? And that you're immature, to boot?

And yeah, I don't know what courtesy flushing is, either.

Yeah, sometimes. Depends on what I ate and how potentially deadly the aroma. Why do you ask?

Husk Musk!

Also 2x/3x/whatever to more women cheating than men, both in my personal experience and with my platonic female friends.

I don't really have a sense of indignance about my gender being oppressed, and I'm not about to grow one now.

Kenan, I guess I'm getting at the whole, "Feminism is good for men, too, because it frees us all from gender stereotypes" conclusion, via internet Socratic method.

As for the article, I just love how it ends with the implication that a woman better be sure to keep changing things up in the bedroom if she doesn't want her man out looking for new tunes.

My question to you mens is whether you find those so-called biological gender imperatives equally as oppressive?

I just hate any generalizations about gender*, especially ones that treat men and women like we're two alien species, impossible to understand without the help of a translator.

*except the ones about women liking chocolate and being cold all the time

to try and cover up the noises you make while you're poopin' and fartin'

I've never thought of that potential application. Well, if you're just embarrassed to be poopin, there's no help for you. I always thought of it as trying to clean up, in a kinda sorta way.

I mean, doesn't it piss you off to be told again and again that you're not much more than a giant, erect penis thrusting about, searching for a home? And that you're immature, to boot?

it doesn't piss me off, really, but it is a bit irritating, more out here than any other place i've lived. the men of montana are, shockingly, huge pigs.

This is just so funny to me. I mean, I guess there are guys like that, who have women all over town or whatever. Playas, as the kids say.

"Allison is so rock and roll, but Cathy is more emo."

Mein Gott, what are you eating?

Also, the comments are pretty hilarious.

"Hey, welcome to the Yahoo blogs! I think men have needed a forum to address topics relevant to them for quite some time"

Because nowhere in modern western society is there a forum for men to address topics relevant to them...

Precisely what I mean about my sense of gender-based indignance having become vestigal.

i've laid some serious pipe in my time, dudes

Society vilifies, belittles, humitates, insults, debases and verbally abuses MEN in order to bolster the frail FEMALE ego. Does anybody realy think that the girls don't go out looking for it too? I have a friend who ruined 3 marriages because SHE couldn't stay away from MEN. She once told Me that She had slept with over 1500 MEN (and several hundred WOMEN). Is SHE on trial? I'm neither a "Greek God" nor a "stud" but even so I have slept with 7 MARRIED WOMEN (All of whom were friends {and still are}) because THEY asked Me to! Promiscuity is equally inherent in both sexes. If You want to sell books all You have to do is to appeal to Female vanity (much the same way as you would if you wanted to bed them down), and blame men for all things reprehensible.

Kenan brought it up!

100% agreeance from me.

oh gross Kevin.

100% agreeance from me.

Yeah, I'm not LOLing at that part. I have a lot of anecdotal evidence to refute the choosy female/seed-spreading male biological imperative, as I'm sure we all do.

In some ways I wish I had the personal experience to back this up, because then I'd feel less like an asshole sometimes. But I'll prob. take occasionally feeling like an asshole vs. feeling completely horrible for being cheated on.

this description amuses me.

yay for people buying AD--i wasn't sure about posting the link and frustrating people who didn't have impulse-splurge money. i hadn't thought of christmas presents.

i didn't completely read that article. scanning it was amusing though.

earlier, somebody pointed me to a silly article about how men could be better in bed. speaking of gender stereotypes... http://www.eioba.com/a2849/fifty_mistakes_men_make_when_having_sex

my favorite line: she wants to feel adored by the man to whom she has just given her most precious asset.
