For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    Natural scrolling is wrong. Mouse, touchpad, doesn’t matter, it’s wrong.

    Most people do not know the meaning of the word “Feminism/Feminist” and use it to describe crazy people on twitter…

      It’s 100% right on a touchpad. When I show coworkers they can two finger scroll (natural scrolling) it always blows their minds. You don’t get people telling you you’ve changed their work life if it’s naturally wrong.

        I meant natural scrolling as in reversed direction scrolling (kinda like on a touch screen)…

      Yes, scrolling on a PC should always interact with the scroll bars. There is nothing natural about trying to duplicate touch screen zero order scrolling, and if I’m honest the term feels intentionally confrontational for no reason.

      The problem with feminism is that there are multiple waves, and there are fringe ideas that are still ‘feminist’. Some of the well=-knon feminist theorists in the 2nd wave came up with some really crazy ideas. Some of that is still around.

        Yup, the issue is that it’s sort of like “Christian” in that it describes an extremely wide spectrum of worldviews. Are you a Southern Baptist who thinks everyone will burn in hell, (and makes it their life’s mission to scream that in everyone’s faces)? Or are you a Unitarian who just wants to follow the golden rule while smoking your weed? Both are Christian, but would fundamentally disagree with each other on what the proper definition of a “true Christian” is.

        Many feminists would be better off describing themselves as egalitarians instead. But that’s not as trendy or as widely understood, and may be a little too broad if they’re mostly focused on women’s rights. Meanwhile, there are full blown TERFs who try to pick and choose which women should have rights, or feminists who swing the pendulum too far in the opposite direction and land squarely in misandry instead. And if you’re going to counter by saying that those aren’t true feminists, then you have fallen into the exact same problem that the above listed Christians have. Whether or not you agree with them is secondary to the fact that they’re using the same “feminist” title that you are.

          Some feminists(not misandrists) are trying to take the word back from terfs and misandrists.

          It also doesn’t help public perception of feminism when you have conservatives using words like ‘feminazi’ to discredit the movement entirely and give people the impression that all feminists hate men. Thanks Rush Limaugh.

          Admittedly there are some fringe parts of the movement that are in need of constant criticism(terfs in particular, misandrists). It unfortunate when extremists start trying to overtake a movement and start shoving bullshit into it, but it’s not impossible to take it back. Just a lot of work and community effort from folks acting in good faith.
