" Big businesses helped kill the Texas bathroom bill two years ago, targeting it as discriminatory and unnecessary.

They said the legislation, which would have required Texans to use the restrooms that match their sex at birth, would have hampered efforts to woo new companies to the state and turned off convention planners and sports leagues looking at venues for events.

Now, some companies are doubling down on that commitment, citing diversity and inclusivity as factors in their decisions. Apple made this clear Thursday, when it announced a $1 billion investment in the capital city.

The bathroom bill, or something like it, may be back when state lawmakers meet in 2019. But opponents of these restroom regulations say the business community will again give them the ammunition they need to shoot down such divisive legislation.

Salted also available upon request! Butter too?

As famous is not having much luck with women maybe they could consider a relationship with a transwoman? The self-id kind of course. After all, he believes they are women...

More Magdelen Berns... this time, 'MGTOW Immediate Solutions? Delusions More Like!'

Sparkyduchess · 14/12/2018 23:13

FamousPJ oh, I really, really think you are. Your dislike of women could not be more obvious.

I’m sure you tell yourself otherwise but your posts tonight are crystal clear.

And trans women are men, unless you think actual sex change is possible?

Bowlofbabelfish · 14/12/2018 23:13

Not so much.

Genuine advice: treat women like human beings and they might. Women can spot men who hate them a mile off.

We aren’t here for you to educate us - you’ve already shown you don’t have an in depth or even a basics knowledge of this subject or what it means for women’s rights,socially or legally.

theyre not men they’re transwomen.
We previously established humans can’t change sex. Goalposts, etc.

There has been some laughs I agree, still a donkey though.

AngryAttackKittens · 14/12/2018 23:10

If anyone intends to have a science-off with Bowl I'll be happy to provide the caramel popcorn.

Somehow, I don't think I'm the misogynist in this thread.

Women may not like you much in general, and I concur with the general sentiment, but credit where it's due. You just made one woman actually laugh until she cried. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

I had a bit of a giggle at that too, Chase.

AngryAttackKittens · 14/12/2018 23:06

Aw, your skeptical face is all Christmas-y! That's adorable.

Bubonicpanic · 14/12/2018 23:06

I really wasn't surprised chaseonthecase.

Never really post on FWR, but I read a lot. This thread's been really informative; that spectator article and the FPFW report is terrifying.

The only thing I really have to add is:

'Do you like women?

Yes, of course.

More to the point - Do they like you?

Not so much.'

I mean, a good imagination is a wonderful thing, but perhaps best directed towards working on the novella that you stuck in a drawer and never finished.

... and as I just explained, when the opportunities AREN'T there, they take greater risks. Such as going into women's toilets.

...and it isn't a good thing if they're more at risk of being caught? And especially, when there's a better chance of catching them before they actually victimise anyone? Or are you looking at this issue from the sex offender's point of view?

I bet there is a lot more to these stories
i'm bored of hearing about the stuff you imagine now. You've already been informed the stuff you imagine is all wrong.

Shite, thinks the supervisor, its only half past ten GMT on a Friday night. Why do they always send me the shite trainees at the start of the busy time.

"Who approved this new hire? Did you not check their references? Were there no red flags on the CV? Honestly, hiring managers these days..."

Exactly. How many men have been raped by a woman's breasts?

I do miss The Bewilderness...

The rules of misogyny
1st rule of misogyny: Women are responsible for what men do.
2nd rule of misogyny: Women saying no to men is a hate crime.
3rd rule of misogyny: Women speaking for themselves are exclusionary and selfish.
4th rule of misogyny: Women's opinions are violence against men thus male violence against women is justified.
5th rule of misogyny: WATM! Women and Feminism must be useful to men or they are worthless.
6th rule of misogyny: Women who go around being female AT men by menstruating and breast feeding babies deserve punishment.
7th rule of misogyny: Women should always be grateful to men for everything.
8th rule of misogyny: Men are whatever men say they are and women are whatever men say they are.
9th rule of misogyny: Men always know the "real reasons" for everything women do and say. 10th rule of misogyny: The worst thing about male violence is that it males men look bad. 11th rule of misogyny: Basic pattern recognition skills are cruel and evil when they hurt men's feelings.

12th rule of misogyny: whatever women suffer from, men suffer from more.

13th rule of misogyny: Women are not oppressed! Rape and catcalling and objectification are all compliments, not oppression.

14th rule of misogyny: Women have all the rights they need: The right to remain silent.

Maybe the type of men who resort to trolling on a feminist board are the type who are soooo desperate for female interaction they’ll resort to any old shit. Friday night wankfest. Very sad.
