TQC gender-wank!
*stolen from a mousie on [info]wank_report*

So, [info]katyowns asks [info]thequestionclub if it's ok to let her son wear a skirt to school. Most of the answers are *gasp!* reasonable, but there are always a few wankers in the bunch.

[info]redlightlove starts off the party by proclaiming boys only wear skirts if they're fairies. People of course call him on this, and he backpedals with the classic "I was doing it for the LULZ." [info]redlightlove then makes it to [info]stupid_free (which stays amazingly free of wank).

Next up, we have [info]renewedme, proclaiming that the kid needs to go to therapy to find the "root" of his problem. Anyone else having "But I'm a Cheerleader" flashbacks? Continuing on this theme, she states that dressing as the opposite sex could come from "underlying problems" and that she sees "nothing wrong with our society's attitudes toward gender at all." There is another round of "Bitch, plz" from those assembled. There's also a discussion on whether ten year-olds understand sexuality and gender identity, culminating in accusations of repression.

Finally, [info]supernovacaine gets in on the action, wondering why transsexuals can't just wear goddamn pants like all the other women in the world.

Personally, I'm just in favor of clothing that keeps the naughty bits covered. At least on most people. Jeri Ryan is allowed to wear as little clothing as she likes.

And yet she goes on to say:

I really think your world is delusional. Either you weren't aware kids were being bullied or your school was incredibly different from everyone else's. There are lots of stories about kids getting beat up for being small, for being poor, for being smart, for being rich, for being tall, for being fat, for being slow, for being retarded, for being "gay", for wearing weird clothes. Need I go on? Why do you think bullying is such a problem? Are you denying there is bullying?

Wow, with such a consistent argument ("our society doesn't beat up people who are different" "everyone gets their ass kicked sometimes!"), I think I've just been swayed to her side.

Good lord. Her head's one with the sand, now mine is one with the desk.
