    Of the two people on earth that shouldn’t be judging others on their looks, I would wager asmongold and Fuentes would be in the top 5. They look like walking herpes outbreaks.

    This isn’t me being gay, it’s science

    It can also be you being ultra, super-duper, neon pink gay.

    If you polled 100 bi people, I’d be surprised if you got fewer than 90 who said that they find women more attractive on average.

      But still a valid justification for being gay. And I’d hazard it’s a requirement that you find men far more attractive than women. Because if you don’t, then you are merely Bi, (and might have the best of all worlds-- we need more science on that I think).

    Are we going to completely ignore the fact that male birds are prettied up SPECIFICALLY TO IMPRESS THEIR LADY COUNTERPARTS? Holy mother of fuck

    Like biologically these critters by and large are programmed to behave in “please like me and have babies” ways. If these dorks are going to make those comparisons they’d better start building impressive houses and wearing colorful clothes to make women happy.

      and the fact that female birds need to have that bland colouring as camouflage since they incubate the eggs

        As a bird lover I do have to note that some female birds have intricate colorings that humans can’t see given our limited visible spectrum capabilities. Birds are tetrachromats, they can see UV for the most part. Starlings are a good example.

    Men and women. Males and females. Girls and boys. People are obsessed with gender to the point they forget we’re all just human.

    Last night I was watching these two chuds watch one of my favourite movies (Children of Men) and one of them, responding to Julianne Moore’s character’s behaviour said “Ah, I HATE women like that!” and it genuinely caused my brain to skip a beat. There was nothing about the character’s actions that was specific to female behaviour. I don’t understand why he couldn’t have said “I hate PEOPLE like that.”

    I am an aspiring writer. I did a beta reader swap with one of my colleagues who just like me would like to be a sci-fi author. He was desperate to know how I was “so good” at writing women. Dude, lol, it’s not hard. Literally all you have to do to avoid all the men-writing-women pitfalls is remember that women are human beings first and women second, with all the same desires, hopes and fears as men.

      You know I’ve always considered women to be people.

      GRRM when asked how he writes women so diverse and authentic.

      I just watched Children of Men the other day, I have it on DVD. The way they killed Moore’s character off is always jarring, like “fuck, I forgot that she dies now”.

      I had a deeply religious room mate freshman year of college. He watched 300 at least 5 times in theaters and IDK how many times on DVD. I can only assume for the glistening chiseled men because its not that good. I always thought he was repressing his desires and this was the only way he could let them out at the time.

        They are prominent right wing political influencers. So, in a sense, yes but they’re doing it with zero self awareness.

            I’m surprised you don’t know who they are. Nick Fuentes is on record as saying Hitler was a cool guy and that he was tired of pretending he wasn’t. He’s mad at Trump for not being extreme enough.

            Oh yeah and Asmondgild has admitted to using the smell of a rotting rat corpse as an alarm clock when the sun hearts it up.

            They both are true museum quality specimin for the “master” race.

    The argument about birds is ignorant because of basic behaviour ecology. Arguing from Zahavis handicap hypothesis males display strength by giving themselves a handicap. Being highly visible, lumbered with pointless feathers.

    Females are camouflaged since they often are the ones on the nest.

      Yeah, evolutionarily, the more conspicuous male birds drew away predators that would have otherwise attacked the nest. Thus making it more likely their offspring survived.

    Individuals are beautiful or ugly based on what an individual likes/dislikes. Not an entire gender. And no one has ever needed makeup, that is a choice, not a requirement. Putting makeup on someone you find repulsive will not make them acceptable, how stupid these people are.
