Imagine a world without beauty, without empathy, and without compassion exist -- for that's where we seem to be going. And it hurts -- at least for this old boy -- to see those go. And I think that's what we have to all question: why are those things considered feminine? And if they are intrinsical...

[...]I think we shouldn't be afraid of being feminine or being seen as feminine - it's a small step in smashing stereotypes and accepting that being "male" isn't the default. I think this latter attitude is different from actively saying you are doing something feminine... but I'd appreci...

You seam to have too narrow view of the market. I might be only male in my community goes out openly wearing dresses and skirts. Look, I'm not trying to stop you in your retail-oriented crusade, I'm just pointing out the hard realities of the matter. Knock yourself out if you wish, but numbers do n...

Then you agree there is nothing wrong asking retailers in posting a sign that recognize May 15th as International Men Can Wear Dresses Day and it can advise men to wear one in this recognition? There's nothing intrinsically wrong with the notion save for the fact that you'll be wasting your time an...

No, in this context "woke" means that you've drunk the politically-correct Kool-Aid. It has precisely nothing to do with a state of consciousness.

Since we are customers that gives us the right to address the issue of recognizing us as customers. As customers we can tell a business how to conduct themselves, just like any other customer. The only way a business can stay in business by listening to their customer base. Indeed, but we are a tin...

We need to master AS [0] before we can ever approach AI. Full stop. The thing is hype at this point in time, and, sadly, is corrupting the world we know with its hallucinations and misunderstanding of commonalities -- and worse, uncommon things which it cannot "comprehend". In short, "...

Carl's video he posted several years ago "You are a fluke of the universe" really nails it home. Dammit, that was supposed to be a comedy piece. Who could have known that it would become truth in what passes to be the modern world. Truth be told, it's a bit "dated" now, but was ...

That's a different permissions setting, and I'll take a look at it. To be clear, I have no problem in being seen, sinc...

When you visit a retailer remind them of this very important day. Lets try to get them involve. The prob...

Should we have a pics area which is not hidden away for those of who don't mind showing the world? Then members would have a choice. Ah, but we already do -- viz Steve above; this is a public forum. Photographs and attachments can be posted in any forum, it just that some of us live in backwards or...
