  • I saw them live with SLEEPMAKESWAVES and Karnivool on the Polymorphism tour. They were all fantastic.
    I just saw your post in that thread about artists from one's own country.
    I'm pleased to see another DLC fan on PC :D
    Yeah, sure. Sooner rather than later obviously, but the event is flexible.
    Especially when there is a remarkable lack of evidence as to support that case. Religion is definitely on the decline and while I'm sure it will always exist in some form or another I can't say it will be relevant to society at large.
    Well thought out response. As I don't particularly agree with my stance in the thread its difficult for me to create a well articulated, thoughtful response. My main intent was merely to create an actual discussion/debate instead of having everyone just merely point out there ideas and never come back.
    Posted a response in the D&D event, didn't use the qoute button. Thought I'd give you a notification.

    Hope I'm not coming off as disrepectful. I got a good laugh out of your response in that other thread hehe :]
    Well, most of what I wrote in my classes were essays related to personal matters, debates or things linked to class material, so that's why I haven't posted any of that here. And you got a PhD, right? So i'd think you would rather take the psychology course to begin with, but if your engineering classes went well then that's good too.
    Well, I had communications before I transferred from community college, and I changed in 2014 at the suggestion of my advisors after one of my classes in that major hadn't been going over well. But what Australians have to go through from what you've described does not seem simple.

    And while I was at community college before I transferred, I still worked, but while i'm away from home I don't, as I mentioned. But I like writing, which is why I went with English. I in fact took what one of the heads of the English department said was among the hardest in the subject.

    Seems like you went through some difficult things, but i'm glad you made it through!
    Since you asked, i'm currently an English major. I originally had Communications back in 2013-2014, but changed at the end of the spring semester last year. And thanks! I already have a job actually, but I don't go to it while i'm taking classes.
    Thank you for saying this. I can't even get into how many times people who were overweight who acted like me being thin was a ****ing crime. So what if they feel jealous or upset about it, going around and demonizing others for who they happen to be is a ****ing dick thing to do.
    Hopefully it doesn't turn into complete ****, that's my worst fear. Mass Effect is probably my favorite game series. I'd hate to see it turn into something like that.
    Noticed you liking a lot of my posts, well, a couple, so I thought I'd say hi, and I'm happy you liked them.

    Especially because they were rants.

    Also you have a Shepard as your avatar, which is a win.
    The reason you don't ever hear about it happening is because no one says anything against it to stop it. I don't care if you haven't experienced it; you can't say it doesn't exist for that sole reason, because it does and people go through it every day. I really don't care if you don't experience it, because that's great. It means that whatever section of the world you exist in doesn't let that happen, which is what I want. But saying it doesn't exist because you haven't experienced it is not acceptable.
    You're literally misinterpreting everything I'm saying. I am not saying that women don't face objectification. I am not saying that women aren't stigmatized for being over/underweight. I'm not saying women don't get judged for who they are. This is what I'm saying: women have advocated to stop all this stuff from happening it to them. People who judge women based on their appearance or their interests or personality or behavior or just about anything about them in this day and age are frowned upon by just about everyone. The only difference between the genders is that when men are judged for this, it's perfectly acceptable and very few people say anything about it to stop it. I never said that men suffer it worse than women; I said that it happens to men as well, but no one does anything about it.

    Fat men have never been acceptable in society. They are always ridiculed for being fat, just like women are. I don't even know what makes you think they aren't lol.

    Women are objectified, but they've made it so that people who do it are frowned upon. If men are objectified, no one has a problem with it. That's not a good thing.

    I never said only women expect a man to have a stolid personality. Everyone expects that. The difference is that no one expects specific personalities from women because they've made it so that they don't have to conform to societal expectations. Men don't have this liberty.

    Women do get judged, yes, but it's less acceptable to judge a women for these things than it is to judge a man. Guys get judged for being involved in theatre or the musical arts or anything that doesn't fall under "normal guy activities" (ex. sports), but it's acceptable to judge them for this?

    I have never once said that women aren't judged/harrassed/whatever'd constantly, because they are, and it's a huge issue that a lot of people are trying to fix.. But men face a lot of the same things women do and no one does anything to stop it. That's where my issue is, and you've misinterpreted it into "I don't think women face sexism because they've worked so hard to stop it". I never said that, ever.
    I never said women were sexist against women, I said that it wouldn't be less sexist if they were than if it were coming from a guy.

    Guys are oppressed because they're expected to act/look a certain way, just girls. Where this differentiates is when it comes to acceptance; girls have made it so that people are frowned upon when they say "oh she's too fat/skinny she should lose/gain weight" etc. Nothing like this is in place for guys. People can freely say "oh that guy is so ugly he needs to workout" etc. with no consequences. Men are objectified as much as women, but women have made it impossible for their objectification to be okay, which is unfair because men aren't just a ripped body or hot face.

    Personality-wise, men are expected to be stolid without too much of an outgoing personality, and they're also expected to be calm constantly and to never show sadness and to be dependable and just tons of other stuff that isn't expected of women. If guys don't meet these criteria, what happens to them? People think it's unusual and give them hell for it. I experience this a lot. I have an animated personality and I show a lot more emotion that most people I know, and I get called gay/a girl constantly because of it because people don't expect guys to do that. Why shouldn't guys be allowed to have feelings but girls can? It doesn't make sense to me.

    It's just the kind of views society has on each gender and the standards they set up for each. I think there shouldn't be standards, period, as a lot of people do, but unlike others, I want this kind of individual freedom for both genders, not just for girls. I think it's ridiculous that I can't act the way I am and have it be accepted as okay and not unusual just because it's not the expected behavior of a guy, when girls are given all the freedom they want to be whomever they are without acceptable judgement.
