No doubt I would rather come back female
[Read the article: Does sex through fraud constitute rape?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and this applies to ANY TIME IN HISTORY.
But then I was surrounded by and raised by responsible, no bullshit powerful females and irrelevant or missing males.
Face it, no woman can be made impertinent by a man WITHOUT HER PERMISSION, but the opposite does not hold. Any and all men can be and have been made impertinent by women today, MOST OF THEM JUST DO NOT REALIZE IT YET.
The few men who do have a foothold in power vis a vis gender relations happen to be very rich and clever, which is the exception that only proves the rule.

oh and..
[Read the article: Does sex through fraud constitute rape?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The other men who do have some power over women are the WAY OF THE BASTARD types, the no account goons who play fast and loose, which I refuse to participate in.

OUTING A FEMINIST BIGOT
[Read the article: Beyond biological sex]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Here is one hate lettr from an anonynmmous female bigot posted just three days ago on the article on daddy becoming a woman.
tell her that daddy is an idiot now and he is gone from her life forever. tell her that he/she will now wear a skirt, put on lipstick, speak in a prissy manner, have longer hair. because this is what these people do - this is their idea of a woman. god, i hate these men. they know nothing about being or looking like a woman. they are caricatures. women come with ovaries and eggs, not just some implantable hormones. our culture is going nuts here and children are getting caught in this mess. there are other ways to express your feminine side, if you wish. but the ones i have seen are like monsters and look like poor imitations of women. since i am a woman i will say stay out of our ladies rooms. i spotted one once and i fled.
I excoriated her for her hate and bigotry, but because she is female she believes she is always right and I, as a male, am always wrong.
Maybe if feminists did not try the last fifty years to guilt trip all men into hating themselves just for being men, then maybe so many [of the more sensitive] men would not be transitioning into the sex they feel controls the playing field so dramatically.

[Read the article: Beyond biological sex]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I beg to differ. I have quite often encountered women who make derogatory gestures about guys who act or dress like women or who are even closet crossdressers. Everything from a girlfriend of mine who blanched and dumped me when I made a silly pun about 'sanding feet in drag' (as opposed to 'dragging feet in sand') to a woman who thinks it is disgusting because a guy should act like a guy and that God will punish transgressors. Heck, I can only think of one or two female friends of mine out of a dozen women from high school who I would consider open minded enough to have accepted unconditionally my part time private crossdressing.
But then I also do encounter women who are intrigued and impressed by guys who are stong or brave enough to crossdress.
So, to say there is little female opposition or bigotry on the topic would be inaccurate. I would guess as a whole, women are less open to guys gender transgressing than are men to women transgressing their gender since it is acceptable to think of women as being mannish. Think female 'tomboys', vs male 'sissies' and how the sissies get beaten up.

as always
[Read the article: Does acting like "one of the boys" make you more likely to be harassed?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]women want to be treated like one of the guys, but treated better than one of the guys.
and some of us men still fall for this crap.

Doesn't anyone dig frozen custard anymore?
[Read the article: What happened to plain old vanilla?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]mmmm, Sandy's here in Austin. There was also an awesome chain in the Ft Worth area that had some great blended frozen custard but the name slips my mind.
B&J's Phish Food is the best, but much too sweet sometimes.

Chris Madrid's in San Antonio is OK
[Read the article: What happened to plain old vanilla?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]but overhyped and not so good. Next time you're in SA try Sam's Burger Joint, much better. If you hit Austin, you have to go to Hutt's and get the Alley Oop! THAT'S a burger.

Friendly's used to be one of our favorite chains
[Read the article: What happened to plain old vanilla?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]but it has been going down hill for years and is a perfect example of what not to do, (for instance do not get rid of the curly fries). It got so bad that Friendly's was listed dead last on a list of 80 chains reviewed by Consumer Reports, of all places, last year.

[Read the article: Does acting like "one of the boys" make you more likely to be harassed?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is a perfect example of what is so utterly wrong with modern feminism.
Before the internet, it was damn easy for feminists to be the squeaky wheel and shove their illegitimate diatribes down everyone's throat.
Now everyone else can post their opinion as well, and anonymously to boot (hence without fear of social shaming or retribution from feminists) and the feminists cannot STAND the challenge to their lies.

I never understood how anyone can stand Couric
[Read the article: Is it the sexism thing, or is it Katie Couric?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and her fakey fakey smile.
I had to laugh when it came out the other week that she does not even write her own blog and that the blog has made up 'facts' about her life.
She is perfect for the role of fake newscaster, which is why I am surprised she is not more successful, or are Americans finally waking up and noticing the wizards behind the curtain?
