@noodlemaz Right now the best thing I can do is just go to bed. At least that way tomorrow I won't be the cranky man I was this morning. Good night!

@noodlemaz Sorry to hear that. But I do have to say there's a big difference between talking the talk and walking the walk. I don't always live up to my own standards.

And then I'm not even getting into the whole paradox of objecting to some things my wife and daughter like doing because I think they perpetuate sexist stereotypes. Things like reading fairy tales and spending (too?) much time and effort on how you look.

@noodlemaz I might regret telling her to ignore me(n).

@noodlemaz Always hard to separate your own development from external changes of course. What kind of advice do you give younger women? (I happen to have a younger woman in my house, i.e., my daughter.)

@noodlemaz @donni By the way, thanks for making me aware just how much the "man" in my post matters, I was actually thinking mostly of the "old".

@noodlemaz @donni Do you think this has improved since then? I sometimes have the impression we're not making much progress. Or at least not society as a hole, even if there are more audible voices speaking up about such matters.

@noodlemaz @donni You might be right. What do you mean? The extreme focus on being thing and largely naked? I'm not sure things have improved on that front.

@pafurijaz But surely he can just "sudo sponsor my efforts" and all will be well? xkcd:149

@donni I sound like an old man, but I think we had a few good years somewhere between 9/11 and 9/11 maybe. (Berlin wall and Twin towers.)

@mntmn *Let's. Or are you worried about the cost of storing all those bytes for those apostrophes?

@thordis Very strong inner boomer though, if that counts for anything.
