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.

hee. this reminds me of the time i had to do jury duty for a medical malpractice case where a kid ended up blind. the hospital's lawyer stood up in front of the jury (which was coincidentally comprised mostly of african-american women) and tried to tell us that because there are laws against discrimination, that nobody gets discriminated against anymore. hahaha.

That story brings me joy, as I can almost see the collective 'bitch plz' that he got for that argument. Ahhh ♥.

I'm sure there's a context in which it would be more stupid to argue that discrimination doesn't happen than in front of a group of african-american women. I'm just not sure what it could possibly be.
