Apple's billion dollar investment directed at allowing men into women's bathrooms

" 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.

Interesting phrase there - juvenile sense of disgust and fear towards male anatomy.
Is the next target going to be silencing the juvenile sense of fear and disgust exhibited by juveniles towards adult male anatomy?
Everyone needs to praise and welcome the cock, dissent is not tolerated.
I don’t use this very often, but fuck off.

Don't forget- some people's grasp of biology is very poor these days.

How many sides does a cock have?

I think this guy's a trainee.
There will be a print out at the end of the couple of hours and someone more senior will break out the red pen.
its going to be the shit sandwich technique.

'Do you see here? That was quite good. You formatted that post very well.
I'm a little concerned about this bit here......and here...... and this bit..... how might you reword this in future interventions? mmmmhmm. well, we can discuss that, of course. Perhaps more training....
But, on the positive side, your use of spellcheck throughout was spot on. Welcome aboard.'

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.

I read the Norwegian case when it came out (I’m fairly ok at written/read Swedish and Norwegian isn’t so different)

It was reported here (Sweden) quite a bit. The uk media reporting was accurate.

So pj your argument is it doesn’t ever happen,, oh that case? That probably did t happen? Those other cases? Probably did t happen or theyre lying.

Lovely. Do you like women? More to the point - Do they like you? Why are you on a feminist board telling women why they are wrong?

OK I'm bored now

but it's been a great thread in a FAQ kind of way, good work everyone

This veers back and forth from the hilarious to the abusive.

It is incredibly how indoctrinated people are into believing only bigoted women would want to restrict the amount of male genitals they are exposed to. This is the cult of the dick pic of course. Same people.

I think "I imagine" pretty much sums up our new friend's contributions to the debate.

Lovely. Do you like women? More to the point - Do they like you? Why are you on a feminist board telling women why they are wrong?

Because women in real life can get away from him, I suppose.

I really wish there was a women only subforum here ... I mean, men would probably go there to share their manly opinion while pretending to be women, but perhaps it would be possible to kick them out again.

FamousPJ what a ridiculous comparison. I’m not aware of any woman who has threatened a man with her breasts.

Why oh why are you so desperate to ensure that men can access women any where they please, I wonder?

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.

I do miss The Bewilderness...

The rules of misogyny

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.

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.

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

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

... 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.

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.

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.'

Shock

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

I really wasn't surprised chaseonthecase.
