The debate began when Milano tweeted that she was celebrating her “transgender sisters” on Friday, which was International Women’s Day. When someone asked if she’s transgender, Milano responded that she is “everything” and encouraged her fans to not be afraid of what they don’t know.

My transgender sisters! I am celebrating YOU this #NationalWomensDay!

 
 

 

 

I’m trans. I’m a person of color. I’m an immigrant. I’m a lesbian. I’m a gay man. I’m the disabled.

I’m everything. And so are you, Kirk.

Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know or understand. No one wants to hurt you. We are all just looking for our happily ever after.

 
 
 
 

 

The criticism was swift, as people pointed out that Milano is a straight, cisgender, able-bodied white woman who hasn’t had the same experiences as people with different backgrounds. One person pointed out that her tweet reflected the “I don’t see color” approach, which they called “oppression and erasure.”

 

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

We don't have as many moods swings and hormonal fluctuations, but many of us make up for it by going through one long cycle of about 50 years or so where we spend most of our time acting like jerks.

It is a scientific fact that men get sicker than women.  When a man is sick (flu, for example), it totally disables him for 2 weeks.  On the other hand, when a woman gets sick, she is still well enoug

Everyone should be believed until they prove otherwise. Unless they are asking for money.

FOR MEN WHO ARE TIRED OF "MALE-BASHING" JOKES

How many men does it take to open a beer?
  None.  It should be opened by the time she brings it.
   ----------------------------------------
Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
  Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to support you.
   ----------------------------------------
Why do women have smaller feet than men?
  It's one of those "evolutionary things" that enables them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.
   ----------------------------------------
How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?
  When she starts her sentence with, "A man once told me..."
   ----------------------------------------
How do you fix a woman's watch?
  You don't.  There's a clock on the oven.
   ----------------------------------------
If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, whom do you let in first?
  The dog, of course.  He'll shut up once you let him in.
   ----------------------------------------
What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig?
  A woman who won't do what she's told.
   --------------------------------------
What's the correct answer when your wife asks "What's on the TV?"
    "Dust!"

Sexism is never funny
