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.

That just gave me a huge head-trip...I internet-knew Pester quite well when we were both in high school...and she was incredibly liberal, would always argue against the religious conservatives, wanted to be a lawyer, and I'm almost positive was not herself religious at that point. And I'm SURE it's the same person.

WEIRD.

I believe this may be what's known among religious Jews as "ba'al teshuva syndrome" where the person in question goes from being not religious to need to be more religious than anyone else in the world, and needing to show that they don't question the Truth. I'm sure it happens in other religions too, but I'm not sure what they call it.

(A ba'al tehsuva is someone who becomes religious after a period of being non-religious, basically. Most of my friends were ba'alei teshuva and I'm not trying to insult them in general, believe it or not. Just anyone who gets religion, any religion, has to watch out for that.)

But I should probably finally stop analyzing her behavior, since I don't know her at all.
