In Game of Thrones there were those sour nuns that shouted “shame!” judgmentally and were meant to make you cringe.

Instead people ran with that and started screaming “shame! shame!”, intuitively thinking that those were the characters to follow.

Female shaming has been around since the formation of human societies.

Yes. Who will protect you from the Muslim man, though?

There is so much talk about masculinity and femininity. Be in "your feminine" or "be in your masculine." We live in an artificial society. We used to live in villages. Life could be brutish. We all had to be strong and resourceful. Sometimes I think we forget that we are all human. Instead of being in our "feminine" or our "masculine" it is better to be in our "authentic" and figure out how to be from there without judging others.

Sadly I think those who would benefit most from reading this piece won't, as I am certain they don't read.

Sadly, I tend to agree. We are preaching to the choir. Those who need to listen don’t.

This essay is more important than one would think, and done so with great compassion and logic. The male and female personification must be absolute, absolutely.

Sotoris Rex has systematically broken down the intersection between religion and reality. And how quite possibly, religion is more a hindrance to society than it's written beliefs towards the unknown, or the unknowingly.

My gratitude.

Omg this debate was so dramatic!! It got so out of hand. But I think you caught the bits of truth on both sides of it and it was well done.

Yes, the conversation did spiral out of control. I suppose people had things they needed to get off their chests. I appreciate your feedback.

A tuxedo is feminine? What would you think of a woman wearing a tux?

Women do wear office-wear that are identical to men’s suits. A tux is not feminine in itself, but rather neutral with the feminine element of a bow tie and gay pointy shoes. So yea

I’ve never seen a woman wear a businesssuit identical to a man’s, except on TV as a joke, and/or playing a lesbian
