The difference is that you have the right get up on the soap box, but you are not guaranteed an audience once you get there. The Freedom of speech only says that you can’t be denied your own life for what you say, not that you are entitled to people to agree with you.

some people’s power fantasy is to overcome impossible odds through great skill.

For the rest of us, there’s the Doom Slayer.

Freedom of speech does not mean the Freedom to be heard.

this song is for you: https://youtu.be/qW9mZLnQ7Yc

it’s a euphemism from Detroit MI. There was an island in the Detroit River that had a public park on it that was infrequently patrolled by police because it was too far for them to be arsed to bother, called Grosse Isle. There were several scenic overlooks one could look out over the water or have a picnic at and since they were generally secluded, there were no gates to close it off at night, teenagers would take their dates there to make out back between the 1940’s and 1960’s. (souce, my dad, who grew up in the downriver area) When they were caught, this became a popular “excuse/explanation” to give to the poe-poe/parents.

It’s supported farther down as a indicator that the man sees women as equating to children, or sees the woman as permiscuous. I promise you that in either case, i’m calling out mysogyny.

It’s literally the subject of the thread. taps title also, how would you describe a non adult person with two x chromosomes? There’s no such thing as a prepubescent “woman.” That’s an oxymoron.

If it wasn’t for the evidence to the contrary, I would have called Kate Bush a mandela effect. I was born in 82,’ but I’d literally NEVER heard of her until the internet lost its’ GD mind about how her song showed up in that one Stranger Things episode. AND I’M INTO CLASSIC ROCK

I blame the French for a lot of the shitty spelling conventions in English

Plus it adds texture when the sexy times start. You guys that are after the bald look are missing out.

I’ll grant that, but you know how some ladies prefer a man with a beard? It’s sort of the same mentality. Now to the ladies, who like beards, I ask you: Do you prefer “wild homeless man” or “18th century naval ships captain?”

…

That’s what I thought, so don’t think I’m saying “ignore grooming.”

no, but considering the types of females that have no hair down there tend to be prepubecent (or have alopecia,) or the women who are concerned about early detection of STI’s, it does imply a kind of coding about the men who prefer it, rather than having no preference.

that’s my point here. I shouldn’t need to, but this invites it.

but the sideways “T?” OHHHH…It’s the bed. I see now.

Ok, minor criticism (to Op) here: I’m a dad. If I needed this explained, you might be too subtle. And jokes that need explanations aren’t funny.

And is this commentary on how Pride month is disappearing? In what way? Are you suggesting that it’s not following the same MO that it was founded on? Well, yeah, but what’s your point?

Ah, Ok so this is a “tier 5” meme. gotcha.

right, just because he missed the nail, that’s not to say he was trying to hammer the wrong one. I think the saying goes: “He’s got the spirit, he’s just a bit confused.”

huh? Apparently there’s a meme that slipped by my radar.

TBF this thing didn’t last the better part of a decade and a half and cost hundreds of thousands of American lives. The war on “terror” was a better comparison

MAY have had a point.
