having a look on twitter, helen Razer used a term to describe her latest podcast that had me going,,,,,,,,,WTF.

She said it "Unfolds like a steamed Vagina". Now there's a phrase that simultaneously evokes imagery and the lack of a viable mental image. Best I can do is visualise a badly packed kebab.

I'm picturing the top of a steamed dim sim and wondering which one would taste better with a splash of soy sauce.

I shouldn't be surprised after being up home at Christmas and knowing the local bogans but really?

Times change. My uncle and cousin used to come to mums house every year for Christmas. My uncle would drink too much to be safe to drive, so cuz would drive him home the 20km. Starting at age 10.

OK, I just learned something, A word, Incel.

It means "involuntary celibate" and it apparently has been taken over by a bunch of white men who can't get a root. :shock:
Incels (a portmanteau of involuntary celibates) are members of an online subculture[1][2] who define themselves as unable to find a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one, a state they describe as inceldom.[3] Self-identified incels are largely white and are almost exclusively male heterosexuals.[4][5][6] Discussions in incel forums are often characterized by resentment, misanthropy,[1] self-pity,[7] self-loathing,[8] misogyny,[9] racism,[9] a sense of entitlement to sex, and the endorsement of violence against sexually active people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incel

Back in the day, we just called them Nerds, Geeks or Engineering students.

Ummmmmmm. :shock: :?

I actually watched all that. I either need therapy or alcohol now, I'll go with alcohol.

Firstly, the elephant in the room, she has a pretty face, I've seen a lot of far uglier natural women but did she actually drink any of that drink or just wave it around for the whole video? I'm not so sure about linking Incels with Trans, I can see the similarities she's pointing out but still.

I like the red and black pill analogy, also the the comparison between being a male on online dating aps vs the female experience.

A couple of the theories are semi valid in that they do occur, but are far from institutionalised across the board.

The more I hear about these INCEL's, the more I think of this movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itiOSaFiPVw

I was sitting in the lounge room watching cricket and had a pair of Muscovy ducks on the front porch tapping on the window with their beaks. :shock: :?
