I never said my solution would be permanent!

One would also be well-advised to drill a hole for the nail and the resulting block might be brittle.

If you can't nail it to a wall it's not cold enough. In all things -- reduce entropy!

Re: Don't worry, most people know we're not trans

So no... very few (and by that, I mean probably less than 1%) assume we're trans. It's media hype guys. We are what we are. However, this takes a bit of effort on the part of an onlooker who's not (yet) familiar with us. We don't attempt to adopt the traits of the other sex in our daily lives, and ...

Re: So my wife got me a handbag for Christmas….

Bags are commonly carried by men in Europe, but not exactly in the New World. I learned this some 40 years ago thanks to exposure to European counterparts in the company I was working for at the time. Bags in the New World for guys are still uncommon, and I recall getting my balls busted at my local...

Re: And this is still part of the problem..

"The problem may be how men are seen in society, how society treats men and how society values men" I'll add now "how we value ourselves, how we we value other men". I would go so far as saying that we are beginning to be seen as nothing more that a resource. It's up us to chang...

Re: And this is still part of the problem..

Not a pay wall, I think, but a geo-wall -- I can read it OK where I am. That may be, I just know that the page was obliterated by a demand for a paid "subscription" and I couldn't read it without resorting to browser-trickery. This must be the Greg James who presents what sounds like a hi...

I guess I didn't focus on that aspect - the embarrassment angle - but if she doesn't get over it now, future kilting is also out the window. As is a seemingly important part of his personality and who he is . I may have been a bit quick on the trigger with "Run like the wind.", but in cir...

Re: New Technologies

(I understand that a few of the early electronic computers were analog). You're forgetting the mechanical analogue computers here -- lots of which touched more than a few lives. Here's a few examples: 1) Gunnery computers on naval vessels, 2) Automobile distributors and carburettors, 3) Some of the...

Re: National Skirt Day

That seems anachronistic. If the Southern Democrats were supporting white supremacy, and the Republicans were supporting equality, then the Republicans of the time were representing what would now be termed the Left. Nowadays, many U.S Democrats (other than the Bernie Sanders wing) represent a posi...

Re: Sensitive Training

I go to work to troubleshoot and repair restaurant equipment, not women. That's why I love machines.... I can understand them. When my head is in a schematic or control box, I'm immersed in a world that makes sense to me. I do the same thing except that I do it with computers. Pretty much each and ...

These are intellectual throwbacks and really need to be roundly ignored -- or shouted down.

Re: Sensitive Training

Let's put the shoe on the other foot. How about training women how their machinations and head-games hurt their partners and significant others? Think that'll fly? I rather doubt it. Men aren't supposed to have feelings. Men already know what women go through, they don't need to be painfully "t...

Re: National Skirt Day

They may not like MIS - but it has little to no bearing on their existence, and if they don’t like it - they have the freedom not to like it! But they don’t have the freedom to control our lives. Try convincing a Crusader that his quest is futile. That will go nowhere. Talebans -- of all religions ...
