    Maybe, but to the average person, it's a "female" symbol in which the circle is in a bowl for some reason. I'm rather fond of the question mark symbol, let me find it and I'll edit it in here.

    Ah, you mean Ceres? But the symbol places too much emphasis on matter.

    I can see your point though. What about Jupiter?

    Because it's a quote. That you probably should see the movie that it's from at some point in your life.

    Well, we were certainly told that, at great length. Didn't really seem to be a discussion per se, though. Maybe I glossed over a page?

    It certainly seemed like no one was actually convinced either way and no real change occurred other than dropping the topic due to it being too heated.

    Quote Originally Posted by Eurus View Post

    Well, the real thing is that no one should have to sit through a long-winded, 15 minute explanation from a teenage child, with all that implies, when they could have expressed everything in 2, maybe 3 sentences. *shudder* Gives me the jibblies just thinking about having to do that again. Thankfully having to deal with teenage children has been getting steadily rarer.

    That, and it was a thrown out example in response to a scenario where I felt it further illustrated how silly people can be.

    Quote Originally Posted by Eurus View Post

    In this case it was being used as a technique by which to be emotionally abusive by dangling a threat over the head of the guy she was interested in, in order to get him to suck up to her and be extra nice and give her nicer swag than normal from what I could get out of the situation.

    So it seems like there'd be other situations where what one says can have an impact on others, yeah.

    Well, it is the kind of thing that would be annoying and confusing to one's associates if there's no rhyme or reason to it ever expressed. Or one acts imperiously when one is ever actually asked a question about it.

    Seriously? Isn't the general idea of feminism is that such situations both don't work very well and are not conducive to the pursuit of happiness.

    What? That's not how one does it at all! You eat before you go out, so that even if the food at the restaurant is horrible or you find out someone slipped drugs/poison into it, you're perfectly fine with not eating it, but you leave enough room that you could eat a bit.

    Actually, I didn't mean Ceres, instead of the cross it's a circle. It's not an existing symbol as far as I know, I've just seen it used in a video (queer attaque) and I thought it worked well for "unknown" or "questioning" or something, since it's basically a question mark.

    But for symbols that actually exist already (which I agree is probably more practical) I do like Jupiter's. It has that "I'm not really a 2, I'm not really a 4" vibe that's kind of cool.

    It's from the movie Orgazmo, from the guys behind South Park. You should probably see it while a little drunk. And LDS should probably avoid the movie altogether.

    Lesbian vampires are of course the most pernicious kind of lesbian. Lesbian werewolves are much easier to spot, because they never shave their legs.

    I figure that there'd be a line for both activities. I, for one, had the same reaction.

    Really, what is it with that god-awful "Mad Cow" thing he's got going? Disturbing, really.

    Re the temporary lesbian: It doesn't seem like it's policing anyone's sexuality to say that she's selfish, manipulative, and toying with the affections of some often quite marginalised people in order to get nicer presents out of her boyfriend. You don't have to challenge people's self-identifications to call them out for being a bitch.
    Just the seed of an idea.

    Well I've recently decided to interpret LGBT+ acronyms in the same way as BDSM, in that one letter doesn't have to mean only one thing. So Queer AND Questioning.
