Non trolly answer, men's rights activism usually translates to male supremist groups. Like recently I read an article about them saying that a man was totally justified in shooting his wife, when he had custody of their child most of the time, but was mad he didn't get to decide everything for their children without her input.

You're just jealous that guns are for men.
And Wolfie is still sexist.

Okay, so explain to me what my stances are on those subjects and why I'm sexist....and how you got sexism from me asking what rights men need that they don't already have.

I don't know what your stances are on those subjects because you haven't mentioned it to my knowledge, but it can be ascertained from your question that either you do not believe those subjects are important enough for men to organize against, or you were unaware of the gender inequality present in them.
But honestly, the sexist comment was a joke. Sorry if it bothered you.
Saya is still jealous that guns are for men, however.

Versus, I was being oversensitive. Sorry.
I did not, however, realize that some of those things were an issue for men. I can understand the circumcision thing. Every guy should be allowed to have a say in what happens to his own wiener.

You're fine.
Honestly, my only issues are why there aren't nearly as many support services for men and why prostate cancer doesn't receive a lot of media coverage or research, but I feel that the underlying problems to both, as well as a few other things, are how western society makes men to be.

Um. I see lots of prostate cancer coverage. Not as much as breast cancer coverage, but NOTHING gets covered like that issue does.

Which is weird considering that a little more people are diagnosed with prostate cancer then breast cancer every year.

I COULD be wrong, I don't know a ton about it, but doesn't prostate cancer have the better recovery rates? I was always told if you're going to get cancer, it is one of the easiest ones to deal with.
Where as breast cancer awareness shit tends to be annoying. "Save the boobies!" And for extra credit, compare and contrast Movember and Julyna. Women can't grow out their public hair, its disgusting!!

Prostate cancer doesn't metastasize very quickly, so in theory it's pretty treatable - but it's also largely asymptomatic. So men with prostate cancer are more likely to die, because they don't get checked for it as obsessively as women are checked for breast cancer. That's why Movember (which I love, even though it results in a bunch of my friends looking like creepers) focuses on raising awareness and encouraging prostate exams, more than on raising money for a cure.

Honestly, I don't know.

Thinking about wearing my bat reactor New Rocks and debating on which socks to wear...
I hate cold weather.

shopping at amazon 'cos there's several things I need-want and do not feel like traversing all over town to get them. So far in my cart are a couple pairs of tights, a plunger measuring cup, pale foundation, and i may toss in some shoes. Shoes are always tough for me to buy. I like them to be fashionable yet practical + comfortable and it seems like that is so hard to find!

I'm putting together a list of songs for my solo projects debut EP where I'm just covering a bunch of bubblegum songs. Thus far I have...
- Daydream Believer (the Monkees)
- Photograph (Def Leppard)
- What the Hell (Avril Lavigne)
- Da Doo Ron Ron (the Crystals)
- SLUG (the Ramones)
- Rock n' Roll High School (the Ramones)
And I'm not doing it to be snarky or mean-spirited or anything, I'm genuinely a gigantic pop-o-phile, and I feel this kind of an EP would fit in with the sound of my solo act, which is primarily a retro pop affair.

Deciding on a music DVD to watch, and looking for a new speaker cab for my guitar rig (I think I blew the speakers, and they are Celestion speakers and are not cheap and I need four of them as they are in a 4x12 cab).
Hey Wolfie, how are you ? *Waves*
