Re: Is anyone else trying to learn a language?

I'm learning Norwegian because we will emigrate to Norway in a couple of months. I started learning Danish 30 years ago and it took me about four years to become something like fluent. It's an easy language for a native English speaker. Danish is very similar to Norwegian, especially in its written...

Re: BCC

Stu, Being retired now I'm no longer in the Medical/Dental frontline, but snippets of residual knowledge, like mud thrown at a wall, remain. Longhand description is Basal Cell Carcinoma. Common enough and well over half of skin carcinomas are these. They develop and spread very slowly and being exp...

Re: Where is the truth?

Looking good or looking ridiculous are just judgemental assessments from the observer, how can there be any empirical evidence for that. Men wearing cosmetics and accoutrements like false eyelashes may possibly be considered very attractive in some cultures, so a universal instinct that it's wrong ...

Re: Where is the truth?

... isn't this just social conditioning? How do you know this is subliminal/primeval? Not that I'm interested in either of those things, but it seems a lot of anguish - not just MIS but other groups as well - is defining what precisely is "primeval" and what is learned behavior. This is d...

Re: Where is the truth?

It may be helpful to consider masculinity and femininity from a linguistic perspective. Both qualities are totally inter-dependent; one can only exist because the other exists. They are an antonymic pair in the same way as: large - small / tall - short / heavy - light / dim - bright / strong - weak ...

BCC

I saw my doc this afternoon about a lump on my face. He says he thinks it's a BCC. He will refer me to a skin specialist, but says it's nothing to worry about. I wasn't worried about it anyway and I'm still not. Anyone else had one of these?

Re: Nuanced attitude to feminism in Gen Z

Mainstream feminism is a misandric hate cult, unfortunately. I raised my kids to keep it at arm's length.

Re: Silly reasons for wearing a skirt.

I have heard women who wear uniform say they need a skirt option because they have heavy periods. I asked my wife about that and she found that unlikely. It's just an excuse because they want to enjoy a choice men don't have.

Re: Am I Still Welcome Here?

We are all different and we all have our own motives. Some might say I'm more of an outsider because I wear trousers at least 80% of the time as they are more convenient for most of my lifestyle. As most women seem to know these days, trousers are the default, but skirts just make a brilliant change...

Re: let's list why we like skirts

Stu, you are becoming really tiresome. Sexual dimorphism is an artificial concept taught to children to simplify a complex subject -- which you do not seem to be capable of understanding or even acknowledging.  Please do not keep referring to it as if it were a biological fact; it is not. It is a b...

Re: let's list why we like skirts

Jamie, I have no desire to re-invent or redefine masculinity, and I would resist any attempt by others to inflict their views as to what masculinity should be onto me. You do you. I will fully accept you as a man with feminine traits, but you are still a man just as I am still a man if I wear a skir...

Re: let's list why we like skirts

I previously listed the reasons I like skirts, but I forgot an important one. I like skirts because men aren't supposed to wear them and men shouldn't wear them because.... er.... There is no good reason why men aren't supposed to wear them. If we give in to arbitrary prohibitions that have no basis...

Re: Is anyone else trying to learn a language?

Several decades ago, while waiting to catch a train, I walked into a bookshop and picked a thin book pretty much at random. The book was Danish in Three Months . I bought it on impulse and started reading it on the train. My wife found the book and asked me if I was having an affair with a Danish wo...
