"It's not hard to fathom why so many men tend to assume they are great and that what they have to say is more legitimate. It starts in childhood and never ends."

A "penis women" is exactly like a "living corpse".


Yes kids, in fantasy and fiction there is such thing as a "living corpse". The only difference is in the real world, nobody is demanding you actually have to believe there are zombies.

Keep dancing, nerd. Almost to that sweet last word.

I watched this film someone made that was a social experiment where they had a man holding a baby in the park, and the story was he was babysitting, he pretended he didn't know if the child was alive or dead. Moms and other people would come by and be like, "oh my! Is your baby dead??" etc like people do, but he would be like, "I don't know" and their minds were blown.

That was forever ago and I still remember how unnerved I was by people's reactions. Like people would want to check and they would start getting physical with the guy and the baby and he had to be like "wow, hey, back off!" and stuff. And they would rage out like "how can you not know?! I must know!"

It made it obvious that people think they have some rights when it comes to other peoples babies, or children.

It's none of their business. Just like how they want to get involved when a woman is pregnant. Or has a newborn. If a woman wants to kill her child that's none of your business. Or if you even want to know if a baby is alive or dead.

Same goes for if a parent wants to remove their childs sex organs, or really anything else. This old fashioned idea you can tell other people what to do or not do has to go.

It's like none of your business, and if you don't like it, you have a phobia.

Like, if somebody wants to have sex with your kids, or their own kids, and you object, you are a Pedophobe. There is no other reason you would object to another person ass raping a 3 year old. .

See how this works? You only object because you are afraid. Or you are a bigot. Or a racist, or a fascist.

You are just a Pedophobe. If you try to get involved in anyone else's behavior, you are the problem.


See how this works?

Thank goodness that Disobey doesn't read these threads.


He would not get the sarcasm at all.

You are one fucked up dude, FX.
