Dillards 43: Tweeting for God

[lomo6]

@TheMustardCardigan

Same! My "all gender" dorm bathroom was awkward for, like, one day --- tops.

Honestly, I think environments that are super sex-segregated encourage more bad behavior. When you're all forced to use one bathroom, you are also kind of forced to see other people as...other people. People who need to shower and brush their teeth and straighten their hair and pluck their eyebrows and shave their back hair just like everyone else. OK, the dude who would shave his back hair in the sink and not even bother to rinse did kind of piss me off...but I digress.

Is it possible to make that my background on this site? I don't want his face on my mobile background or anything.

But seriously, he's on my list of "Top 5 People I Would Anonymously Send Cat Poop"

I think he forgot the * after "all" in that post.

To be fair I'd want to support and defend my daughter even if she had some unpopular views.  That being said if she was being a flaming shit weasel I'd want to point that out to her.

I think most of us want to support our children, but when we see them behaving inappropriately, we do try to step in, somehow, someway.  And when you're being an ass in public...Gloria Allred checking her daughter Lisa Bloom for her involvement with Weinstein was a good example.  Sometimes offspring need someone to tell them to step back. Sadly, Cathy seems to just support DWreck, if not pushing him forward on his pitiful path.

I had co ed dorms. The showers were individual stalls so you didn't see anything. The horrific part was the aim of drunk/hungover 18/19 year olds and accidentally stepping/sitting in things. At no point have I ever felt threatened physically or sexually.

I learned this when I worked at Taco Bell and had to close, a couple of summer in college. As the cashier, I was responsible for cleaning the lobby and restrooms. The men's room was usually nasty. As a result, I've picked a man with good aim. I also appreciate the moms who have taught their sons to aim by sinking Cheerios.

I'll also add, I'm even a bit squeamish about using a bathroom after a man in a private home or vault toilet, as a result of cleaning the men's room.

Why did his mum need to point out that those were not his feet? Derick has openly supported the tangerine cockwomble in the past. Surely those cotton monstrosities bearing his image should need no defending? 

THE TANGERINE COCKWOMBLE!!!! BWAAHAHAHAAAA!

 

   I haven't laughed like that in days, thank you!

Dear Derrick,

As someone who's in the same age range:

* Not all Millenials are bad, some of us are actually hardworking and tolerant.

* You don't need your Mom to come to defend you on Social Media. 

* If you can't take it don't dish it out!

I was an RA in gender segregated floors with bathroom codes to prevent men using the women's, because of a few incidents, so they'd have to go downstairs. It was also ineffectual, people either just propped the door open or gave them the code and nobody sat outside policing it. When we had the possibility of an unsafe situation it got reviewed, the codes got changed and the girls stopped giving it out. Like adults. 

The only hassle I remember about boys being in there were people bringing their SO into the showers for fellowship times.  Yes there were individual stalls, but it's inconsiderate to everyone else in the hall bathroom, uncomfortable for other people showering at the same time and gross, since it's a shared shower. Nobody wanted to look up and see your boyfriend looking over the shower stall into their shower like a lech. I personally was uncomfortable with it, quite sheltered and the fact something so intimate was happening in a shared space a very foreign idea. That being said, running to my room and asking me to make them stop immediately.....was awkward at best, and that goes for any loud sweet fellowship complaints. The ship had sailed, shower in a few minutes, but thinking I'm going to barge into their shower and publicly shame them on the spot was not ideal. Thankfully, it was embarrassing and self contained enough it was a rare occurrence that got rapidly stomped out in the first few weeks of the year as first years started figuring out the balance between their new adult freedom and privacy.

That being said, that's a different issue all on it's own, completely unrelated to gender identity.

ETA: Derick, you've traveled the world and I'm assuming have seen the varieties of water closets and lack there of. So I'm gathering you've not run into any problems, nor has Jill or anyone you know, otherwise you'd be giving personal testimony on the dangers. 

[Jinder Roles]

@cascarones Yes! All the (very few) incidents in my gender neutral bathrooms have been cis people being inconsiderate and rude (often times drunk). And some people are who live on the floor are just plain nasty (ugh, there's this one girl who NEVER washes her hands. I use a tissue to open the door now) 

Had a similar experience where this girl (who lives on the floor) was showering and singing, as she usually does. Then I hear this deep baritone voice start singing along from the same shower. I spit my mouthwash out. I always wear shoes in a shared shower. 

Dwreck should know that trans women have a much higher rate of being assaulted than any other group. Who is it usually done by? CIS MEN! 

[Scottie]

Ugh Derick... I find him repugnant, for so, so many reasons. 

Cathy's vain attempts to defend him on Twitter and Instagram are absolutely hilarious. She doesn't actually smooth anything over. I read her comments in the tone of a petulant child and I am both amused by the stupidity of it all, then frustrated that she and Derick can't see the flaws in any of their arguments. None of this in no way diminishes his spiteful, hateful attitude toward others, in particular, the Transgender community. He is a bully, plain and simple. He abuses his position in the public eye and his belief in that insidious cult to incite hate and perpetuate misinformation.

I doubt actually knows that or is willing to accept it

Because she simply can't stop herself from defending her precious little boy against the nasty heathens of twitter, and literally the only thing she can say is, "Those aren't his feet" because her precious little boy, like her, is a staunch supporter of the tangerine cockwomble (fantastic name, by the way, thanks for that one). 

Cathy seriously needs to step back and start letting her 28-year-old son fight his own damn battles. It's embarrassing.

It's right up there with the You Tube video Lori Alexander made with her mother, so that her mother could admonish all those mean people who left mean comments on Lori's blog. You know,  mean comments pointing out how many times Lori contradicts herself and encourages women to stay in abusive relationships.

Awww poor little Dwreck can't handle it and needs his Mommy to come rescue him. Even more sad because he's supposed to be a father and role model. I feel so bad for Izzy and Sam.

[VelociRapture]

Rufus bless his little heart. He really does just walk right into it doesn’t he?

That would most likely be because she doesn’t think he’s doing anything worth checking him on. She believes the same shit he does, no doubt. In fact, tons of “mainstream” Christians do. D-wreck seems extreme because he purports his bullshit out loud, but there are plenty of non-fundie, non-conservative, mainstream churchgoers who nod their head when the pastor says it on Sunday morning.

Derick must have a scat fetish that Jill has no interest in partaking in, because I can't think of any other reason why he continues to post content that causes people to shit on him.

[JabberJabber]

I saw this and immediately thought of Derick.

We had gender segregated bathrooms in my dorms.  I frequently used the men's showers.  

There were 0 casualties.    

[Bad Wolf]

The new schools being built in our area will have gender neutral bathrooms.

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out what that was referring to... now I'm not sure if I'm laughing harder at tangerine cockwomble or cotton monstrosities. 

[GotCaughtDancing]

He just keeps giving and giving.

I wonder how he will fare with with his hateful, bigoted, bullying tweets after all the new anti-hate stuff twitter is rolling out. He will probably take to his blog and whine about his religious freedoms being taken away and still won't get the irony.

[Ilovebrownies]

I'm always surprised by how many women want disgusting men shitting and farting next to them for 20 minutes or more.  Not me.

[Rachel333]

I'll admit I don't particularly like the idea of unisex bathrooms with multiple stalls. Especially not with American stalls that you can see right into! I also have talked to a couple women who are rape survivors who said that it's too triggering for them to take their pants off when men are in the room, which was an issue I hadn't considered until I talked to them.

I think the answer is unisex, single stall bathrooms. It solves the problem for people who don't fit neatly into the male/female bathroom categories and gives everyone privacy while they do what they need to do.

I went to a botanical garden that had a hall with ferns on the walls between nice, big, clean, unisex single-room bathrooms. I loved it. I have never before been so impressed by bathrooms!
