One woman's opinion but You've Got Mail sucked.

When Harry Met Sally is the obvious much better choice of these types of RomComs

They both blow chunks.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

Obviously it's better. But again, Dave Chappelle isn't in it. If something comes up about Bruno Kirby (RIP) being transphobic or something, then we can all watch When Harry Met Sally.

No. I'd say Chino did a cis job explaining it, but you're not asking a trans question. It has cis intention even if it comes off as trans.

Excuse me, as interesting as this is, I'm gonna go watch A Few Cis Men. Love a good Tom Cruise performance.

 :lol

But wow already giving up on Who Got Mail?

First of all sir, it's YOU'VE Got Mail.

Disagree.  Carrie Fisher alone is worth the price of admission.

Adami, that's how rumors get started!  But your point is taken.    :laugh:

You guys are "Meathead" to Tim's "Archie."

I never read Archie, so I don't get either! :lol

I'm actually being serious and not mocking it.

This is legendary on so many levels.    :hefdaddy

Oh, and am I the only one that prefers the Hallmark Christmas movies over any Meg Ryan movie?   

I'm a sucker for that "she's got a great business career but her dad is sick and she's tired of the ratrace, so goes home, and he's a construction guy that isn't cut out for corporate life and has made a nice life for himself (and his two dogs! There are always two dogs!) in their home town, and they meet and bring out the best in each other!" story line.   :)

I generally avoid both Fox and CNN articles, and didn't realize it was a Fox article until after I read it. Did you find the article slanted? I didn't. Seemed pretty straightforward, no?

Did this kid submit real complaint to the school? Were those his quotes? I didn't take this as a fictional story.

I didn't see Fox, I saw MSN.  I wasn't commenting on that, I was commenting on what I see as a level of entitlement that is IMO unreasonable.   That's not his house.   I get the concept of a "safe space" but I don't agree with it; that's where my compassion ends.  We had this conversation a couple years ago when the Yale professors got into a world of hurt because of their handling of Halloween costumes, and one of the narratives from the students was that the Yale campus was a "safe space" (I don't know that the article I cited included the "safe space" reference) and they shouldn't have to encounter things that made them uncomfortable (on an individual basis).   That's entirely opposite of what a true university campus - a crucible of learning, of challenging ideas, of uncomfortable intellectual pursuits - ought to be about.

Should the university have hired trans workers to install the radiator?

Installations on equipment are running behind big time. Perhaps the school intended the installation for the summer but was delayed.

What does cis even mean. I have no idea what this term is?
You and I are cis.  Our genders match our physical born-with sexes, and always have.

Is cis an acronym for something? I didn't realize my male gender with my born-with male anatomy needed a term other than...male.

Well, for one, "cis" has nothing to do with being male, so there's that. And two, it's regular practice to have very specific terms for all instances of something for the sake of scientific literature. Cisgender has its origin in the Latin-derived prefix cis-, meaning 'on this side of', which is the opposite of trans-, meaning 'across from' or 'on the other side of'. It's been around since 1994 and is nothing new. What you're saying would be akin to hearing the word heterosexual and commenting "I didn't realize my male straightness with my naturally instinctive desire to want to pound pussy needed a term other than .... straight".

Edit: ninja'd twice

sooo trans doesnt mean bad and cis doesnt mean good?  :biggrin:

If you reread what I typed, I didn't say the terms trans and cis themselves mean 'bad' or 'good', just that their usage for fats is that trans is bad because it is unnatural for the human body, and cis is good because it's natural and more healthy for the human body; and how it is reversed in political discourse these days (eg: someone calling someone cisgender is typically used as an insult these days by LGBTQA people, or those who passionately support them, because non-LGBTQA people ask questions about the LGBTQA community, and anyone trans is considered an angel (Chappelle's latest special exposed how LGBTQA people are anything but angels)) and I concluded that neither prefixes should be used to describe anyone's sexuality.

The only times I've seen it used as one is similar to when a man does something chauvinistic and a women will say "MEN!"

So, as a response to discriminating activity.

Not saying it's never used otherwise, just stating my experience.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

To me it's as meaningless as toilet seat up Vs down argument.

How would it be used as an insult?

If and when someone acts like a "bro", acts exceedingly, cartoonishly masculine ("toxicly" masculine is the terminology today) someone might say "wow, that is so 'cis-'".   I'm not saying it's an EFFECTIVE insult - one can suppose that those acting "toxicly masculine" aren't hip to the language to begin with - but it's one of the ways that the marginalized can call out the behavior they don't like (and thus furthering the marginalization, but that's for another thread).

I'm also not sure it's super relevant?

Anything can be an insult if used as one.

That is SO Stadler....

...hmm, no that is more flattering than insulting. Well you know what I mean!

I'm sorry but this doesn't make sense to me.  Most women are also "cis" so what does that have to do with toxic masculinity?

Just a personal guess is that males and females have heard Heterosexuals forever.  Now someone with values  and sexuality is calling those Heterosexual, Cis and that's what's off putting.  Why do they get to name us.  Not that it hasn't happened the other was forever as well.  So some look at it as derogatory.  Just like words, I ill not type out that we Heteros called others for a long time.

I've worked hard not to use them in my vocabulary like I did in my past.

I was just explaining how I had heard that used as an insult.  I intended it as an example for TAC, not as an all-encompassing explanation of the use of the word.  You are correct; I imagine it's possible to use it in a female context as well; I'm not a woman so I can't really come up with a version of that, but I'm sure it exists.

When I arrive to work every morning, I always have to walk through the accounting area first, which is comprised of 4-5 women, and I used to always greet them with a friendly, "Morning, ladies," but I stopped it a while back as apparently there are some out there who now considered lady an insult.  :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin  I don't think any of the women here would get bothered by it, but I still figured better to be safe than sorry.  It's a mad world these days.  :lol :lol
