Sad cat, mad cat

    There was a psychic detective show just on. Although the psychic involved in the featured case provided the police with no new information and did not lead them to the killer or a conviction - that was done years later through a tip-off from someone who had been threatened by the murderer, the concluding minutes of the show treated it as a positive outcome for the use of psychics in police matters and advised people with an unsolved case to try one.
    Grr.

    I am also annoyed at attempts to bully/shut men up by demeaning their masculinity. Really, since when did we decide gendered/sexist insults were okay? This complaint inspired by the recent advertising campaign showing young men driving recklessly and witnesses (and passengers) making gestures indicating they think the driver has a small penis.

About a thousand years ago? :\ Mebbe more. I missed the meeting. :(

You have me there. I am tired and not thinking clearly.It is so very tempting to use them though. And easy. *sigh*

No more thinking for me. Homework. Homework!

Well y'see men are sooooo vulnerable and self-conscious about those kinds of insults. And soooo predictable about the way they attempt to compensate for preceived or actual lack of "masculinity". They get taught from their very earliest age that size matters and the only size that matters is largest. It would be amusing if it wasn't so pathetic.

I have tried watching a couple of those... but just can't quite last through. THERE ARE NO FREAKING CONTROLS, SO EASY TO MES AROUND OFF CAMERA, THE SCIENTIST IN ME HURTSSSS
