Troper Updates II, Part II

How so? Elaborate.

vandro: You must've missed my post. Don't you go ignoring me like that. *shakes vandro by the shoulders*

There wasn't really one, Shichi. You want to read the article? It's not difficult reading, especially if you know Spanish.

@ vandro: What do you mean, how so? One assumes that male is default and normal. The other genders certain occupations, regardless of whether the language has grammatical gender.

I am not ignoring you on purpose, and I don't worry much either.

I don't know Spanish. Does that make it harder?

vandro: It's all well.

Speaking about Spanish, which you and Aoede are talking about, what's life like in Spain?

Male as default and normal. Er...no, male is default, male and female are both "normal", as far as I know, normal means that it follows the norms, and the norms say there are two grammatical genders.

@ Shichi: Shouldn't be that bad. Only like... four people in the class knew Spanish. Part 1 and part 2. (It looks longer than it is, because of the references.)

@ Nat: ...he doesn't live in Spain...

@ vandro: Don't play games with semantics, boyo, you'll get burned :P

All boils down to either semantics or being offended by language construction, offense to me is just a lame excuse for picking such kind of a fight.

Uh... calling out sexism is "picking a fight"?

I'm not continuing this conversation if that's where you're coming from. It would be too tiresome.

dependencies why

Sexism is complaining men win more than women in the same job, that they get more respect than women in the same job, that they get more chances to get a job than women. That kind of thing, complaining about male they and neuter they being the same is picking a fight. Don't complain, if you don't like it, propose a better alternative. In spanish it's kinda hard because some words are male plural with "o" and some others are male plural with "e", so it gets down to either "i" or "u" as alternatives.

vandro: What's the best thing in Spanish?

Tzetze: Would you explain?

Bah. Foiled again.

I love the prononoun dropping, and also, ciao. Leaving.

Feminism 101: On "looking for stuff to get angry about" and the importance of little things.

And I'll leave it at that.

@ Tzetze: Oh! Oh! I know what dependencies are! Kind of!

Does anyone else have the habit of redoing the question part in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games until they have a pokemon they like?

Thanks for the PDF link Aoede.

How silly of me, I imagined it was in Spanish.

I think that's too much to take in for now, I saved it to my misc. folder.

Tzetze: Would you explain?

I'm writing a program. The program is split up into several files for the sake of organization. Since some parts of the program are defined in terms of other parts, I have to write a dependency list; that is, that this file shouldn't be compiled into a program until that file has been. It's annoying but necessary... pretty sure I've got it now.

Pfaha, I'll be sure to mention if an article I link isn't in English

Ack.

This just had to be the best timing for everything, didn't it.

vandro: Ciao! See you later!

It's the little things, the constant drumbeat of objectification, that inure us to increasingly horrible acts and attitudes toward women.

I agree with this point, but alot of the article seems to parallel cultural marxism.

IJBM: Feminist, or indeed any newspeak

Apologies if I've completely misread it.
