Wanted to proclaim this day to be Raeg day, alas, there is no rage thread for me to use as a medium to propagate this decree of mine.

"Rage thread, a rage thread! My kingdom for a rage thread!"

What we need to do is to all switch over en masse to a new forum where the mods don't care (maybe even create one) and start a rage thread that will not, under any circumstances, ever be closed. I'm dead serious.

... Are you really going to repeat this statement multiple times?

Please don't.

I also hate feminisim and masculinists.

Its about equal human rights, not making special classes for races, sexes or any preference

Feminism is about equal rights. If you think feminist women want power over men, you have never met an actual feminist.

Aye, they no' true scotsmen! ()

I don't really know much about either to make a definitive statement, so...

Youtube is doing that thing where it will load one bit of video and not a second beyond, then come to a screeching halt while it loads the next miniscule bit of video. Whatever was wrong with a linear download like the old Youtube had? I'm sure a multinational supercorporation like Google could probably tank any additional costs from that sort of system.

There are vocal minorities and a lot of people who misuse the term that have given it a bad name in recent times, though.

I'll admit, I think the vocabulary throws people off. "Egalitarianism" might be less likely to cause misunderstanding.

Feminism needs a pope, basically.

I'm all for equality in groups, I'm not too much into the naming, categorizing, and splitting your group off from everyone because your different and must be treated specially thing.... That's my two cents...
Go equality

[Bauglir]

I'm all in favor of treating everybody specially, m'self. That is, take them as individuals. No excuses to stop thinking. The boxes get bad when they're imposed, whether on the people within them or the people without, but I'm not gonna go tell people their identities don't matter.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Well I didn't mean that, I just don't support treating them like they aren't human because they are different. I'll call me whatever they want me too, I'll still treat me like people

There's also a sizable subset of the feminist movement (which I've dealt with a lot in RL, for some reason) that genuinely wants nothing more than simple equality, but has trouble understanding the distinction between "maybe we need to reconsider some of these measures we've put in place" and "misogyny masquerading as egalitarianism." We have the well-poisoning "Men's Rights" groups to blame for that, since a lot of their arguments are superficially similar to more reasonable arguments.

The problem with some of the loudest activists (feminists or otherwise, and definitely not all or even most activists) is that they might have two mutually exclusive goals: equality, where everyone is treated equally, and chivalry, where everyone is treated as is (perceived) best for their personal traits. Both societies have their perks, but there is no golden mean. While equality would likely make everybody happy, it is hard to define so that it accomodates every minority. While chivalry is easy to arrange, inequality causes problems. I would be very happy if somebody broke this dichotomy for me, because I find it depressing to not be able to have my cake and eat it too in this particular case.
On topic: I'm down with the flu just as I should be going to a funeral. I'll probably go anyway, as long as they won't mind someone constantly sneezing and blowing their nose, all the while reciting some traditional poems in a crow's voice.

((Maybe the feminist talk (I know I added to it) should be moved so it doesn't clutter?))

Sweet fuck. My school was cancelled tomorrow due to extreme cold. You want to know how extreme cold we're talking here? High of 1, low of -10, wind chill of -50. That's instant frostbite range. In North Carolina.

Meanwhile, here in eastern Washington, we haven't gone below 10 celcius at night for the past couple weeks, and the closer to the ocean you get the warmer it tends to be.

That's not so much sad as terrifying, though.
