" 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.

I'm a bit worried about iced mince pies though, I must say.

That was my next comment. I can't work out if evil genius or just EVIL.

Maybe he thinks he has a special disease proof penis, Mary. Teflon coated maybe?

Happy to look at unexpected petunias. Penises, not so much.

To be fair, he probably does have a disease-free penis. What with nobody being willing to touch it and auto-infection not being a thing.

Where do all the people like ffs appear from though with their made up stats as if we'd never heard it all before?

I also think iced mince pies sound even mankier than the normal kind.

I kind of wish in cases like this MNHQ would ban the person but leave their comments up, just for the education of future readers. It really is quite eye opening to see what kind of man thinks cocks in women's spaces is an excellent idea.

I know, really sad to have missed the comments! Hopefully my experience of the rhetoric of this type of person can fill in the gaps in my imagination.

I wonder if they deleted his comments from the thread he necroed to talk about buying prostituted women too?

No nor the other few threads he was all over.

I put a solid layer of chocolate (melted and left to harden) on top sometimes when I make mince pies. I'm sure some will disapprove but they are lovely.

Kitten - it was that funny.

Even a rolly laughter emoticon from you

Sorry that was to Datun.

Absolutely agree.
It only benefits the person banned.

Not least as they are then able to claim they've been censored just for having an alternative view etc.

Not sure if or , Ereshkigal.

As long as your disapproval is appropriately festive AAK

Some of us have non-homicidal ways of enjoying the holidays!

His attempts to bait were really rather feeble.

And yes, down with iced mince pies and puff pastry.

Today's conundrum: do I naicely wrap several presents each for the kids, or do I just send the husband out for two vile gaudy sacks and shove everything in them?

I particularly enjoyed how he doesn't feel threatened when he's on s beach with topless women, so why should we feel threatened by cocks.

The fembots came to mind, dont know why.

how he doesn't feel threatened when he's on s beach with topless women

I'd imagine he'd feel like all his Christmases had come at once, particularly given his circumstances.

A woman surrounded by random unsolicited cock would be, well, let's say somewhat unlikely to feel the same.

Just catching up with this (oh dear lord let my children learn to sleep through before we both drop dead of exhaustion thank you) and I missed the flounce!

It's like trying to explain how banking works to your Labrador sometimes, isn't it?

That made me laugh ... there is a total lack of self awareness in these men isn’t there? Women don’t like me, they must all be frigid evil feminazis! Or, perhaps it’s my personality? No, no can’t be that ...

Ah, but remember, he repeatedly told us he wasn't the misogynist on the thread.

Although he did call us MRAs at one point so I'm not at all convinced he understood the basic definitions of the terms used.

The suggestion of head grabbing combined with the knowledge that he pays for sex was a bit of a mood destroyer though, it has to be said.

AAK Having read some the other threads, your comment, 'creepy, creepy creepy'= good summary position.

Apparently he thought that grabbing a woman by the "skull" (not sure why he didn't say "head" like a normal person)*

Makes him sound like a serial killer, doesn't it? Not like anyone else would often see a human skull.

(I mean, his posts made pretty clear that he's obviously no brain surgeon.)

I think he was sat in his bedroom with a dozen boxes of Kleenex and a bottle of hand lotion!
