After some years of reflecting on gender, I don’t really have preferred pronouns. I identify as cisgender, I’m a basic white male. Lots of gay friends, some bi and one trans friend. I’m not really bi but I wouldn’t be offended or put off by a man hitting on me. I’m not not bi, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, if someone asks my preferred pronoun, I always say he/him but it’s not actually my preference. I have no preference. I could not care less. Call me by whatever. But my point is this: if someone asked me (at work) to share my preferred pronouns, it is “PC” of me to just say “he/him”. It’s not really true, but if I say “I have no preference” I honestly wonder how that would be received.
Food for thought.
- Oops, first sentence should have said “reflecting on identity”nb
- Saying that would cause unnecessary awkwardness. If you truly don’t care just say he him because that’s the default.monospaced
- That’s what I do. But it’s not true about menb
- having no preference is a pronoun. they/themhotroddy
- It is? Is that what they them is supposed to be used fOr?nb
- Shit,that makes sense. Gonna ask my closest they/them friend next time we have beersnb
- You don’t think he him is you, even though you identify as a male?monospaced
- That’s not what I said. I said I don’t have preferred pronouns. One thing isn’t the othernb
- I was kidding. You're binary. They're not.hotroddy
- This is basically a long winded way of nb telling us he's bicurious. Lolcherub
- Huh? All I’m saying is I don’t have preference to any particular pronounnb
- Then if you don’t care, stick with what you are. A him. Doesn’t seem like an issuemonospaced
- sorry but you need to go in a category. thats how our monkey brains work.inteliboy
- nb. i get you.pango
- each to their own but if gender is a choice then i choose not to participate and my "preference" defaults to what my biological sex is.trooperbill

In poor countries material goods like cars, fine clothing, bling are considered status symbols.
In rich first world countries like Norway being fit and well trained is becoming a status symbol. When material goods are no longer scarcity goods and do not impress anyone people seek other dimensions in which they compete.
American status symbol is belonging to a minority, it's the only way to have some value as a person

LIZZO CHANGES LYRIC IN BEASTIE BOYS-SAMPLING SINGLE 'GRRLS' AFTER BACKLASH OVER THE WORD 'SPAZ'
Lizzo dropped “GRRRLS” last week, which uses a sample of the 1986 Beastie Boys’ single “Girls” from the trio’s debut Licensed To Ill. Had those offended by “spaz” been more familiar with the song’s origins, they’d probably be more outraged by the lyrics Ad-Rock, MCA and Mike D were spitting at a time when misogyny, offensive language and sexism was basically celebrated. Live shows of that era featured women in cages dancing onstage and a giant hydraulic penis.
“Girls, to do the dishes,” they rapped. “Girls, to clean up my room/Girls, to do the laundry/Girls, and in the bathroom/Girls, that’s all I really want is girls/Two at a time, I want girls/With new wave hairdos, I want girls/I ought to whip out my...”
As for “GRRRLS,” Lizzo originally sings,
Bitches, uh
Bitches, uh, uh-huh
Hold my bag, bitch (girls)
Hold my bag
Do you see this shit? I'ma spazz
I'm about to knock somebody out (girls)- Weak ass trackbabydick_
- I want to say a little something that's long overdue
The disrespect to women has got to be throughbabydick_ - To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends
I want to offer my love and respect to the endbabydick_ - Don't listen to trash, simple. Music like this and the sample is like processed food junk - instant excitement and hit, but ultimately negative for you.shapesalad
- yeah but beasties did most of that album with tongue firmly in cheek_niko
- Exactly. I can't imagine taking early Beastie Boys seriously.CyBrainX

- ^ This. Beastie Boys are one of those horribly overrated sacred cows of music. Plus who gives a fuck if they removed spaz? That's a spazzy reaction.garbage

- CREATE YOUR OWN SHITcannonball1978
- I like the beasties. I saw them live a few times. I'm not saying its bad, you sourpuss.tank02
- I just thought it was ironic that people were outraged over "spaz" when she said bitch 3 times in the first few lines then talked about assaulting someone.fooler
- ^ That's what C-E-ho's do. This is just another Tuesday for herbabydick_
- Don't worry pango I got you, you son of a bitch. You're um.. hmm..one sec..garbage

Aperture 2025 - Oscars' Quota System
"If a particular movie does not have enough people of color or disabled people or gays or lesbians working on the set—and what is “enough” will be determined by a knotty tangle of byzantine formularies—then that movie will no longer be eligible for an Oscar."
