Sometimes it looks nice, sometimes it doesn't, I'd say it matters on the whole ensemble. I think it can look very stylish, but I'm not overly fond of them myself (too much casual wear).

As per the ties, I am not sure if they are professional looking or something you'd see on a stripper.
As per the black females, tsk tsk. Their loss.
No, really.
While it is known the penis is the most tolerant part of the human body of either gender, I always wonder why women have these weird racial standards. Especially the black community, which is literally being brought down by the inability to keep together more than any other ethnic group in the US. It's shooting yourself in the foot. Or, more accurately and importantly, shooting your kids in the foot. (Not that I really want anything to do with them, but that's not the point.) Tell them the 1920s want their standards back.

Because traditional roles are constraining, and we want free expression, do we not? I find myself conforming to a few traditional male stereotypes, and not so much to a few others. I don't have a problem with either, it's just who I am, but I still resent the prescriptive aura traditional stereotypes tend to have in some circles (or non-traditional ones have acquired in other circles in recent years). Statements or implications of "real men don't do this" or "real women do that", and all and any equivalents from whichever subculture they may come, are complete bullshit and to be honest, this bullshit drives me up the wall at times.
I'd rather people not make any stupid prescriptions about what kind of behaviour or attitude they find "fitting" for a man or woman. I'm sure, if everyone could decide freely, we'd have some statistical clustering along gender lines, because we're not blank slates and biochemistry is significant, but statistical clustering is descriptive, not prescriptive, and to use the former to justify the latter is a fallacy.
A bit late to the party here, but I've found that as I've gotten older, people trying to reinforce 'traditional' gender roles becomes more and more annoying. "X isn't manly," "Real men do Y," Women should do G," etc, etc. I mean, why should it matter what people like or how they behave if it doesn't harm anyone? Like I said earlier in this thread, I don't really care if I like stuff that isn't considered 'manly', and honestly, I wish more people thought that way about stuff that is/isn't generally associated with their gender. Hell, I like fluffy romance, I (sort of) know how to sew, and I've got a good(ish) idea of how to cook, but I also like stuff that is generally considered as 'manly'. Had an old friend of my dad's try to teach me stuff he thought I should know that I really wasn't interested in learning about and he also tried to push his interests on me. He also acted like he knew what I was/would be interested in better than I did. Needless to say, dealing with being around him was trying at best. New question! What, if any, unusual pet would you most enjoy raising with your SO? Bearded Dragon would be my first choice. My youngest cousin on my mom's side (who is 2 years older than me) had a Bearded Dragon and I just loved how it looked. Pretty sure my sister would say the same. My second choice would have to be Sugar Gliders. They're just... so small and adorable! And I don't really describe anything as 'adorable'. Main downside is that they can literally die from a lack of attention.

Cats are parasite carrying fluff-beasts who learned how to meow so they could copy human babies crying - and thus trick humans into finding them sympathetic.
And they *insist* on walking straight into and in front of you to get your attention.
Dogs,though... social animals, easy to train, won't drag their claws into your feet if your foot's sticking out. Trustworthy.

Oh. Should have noticed there were more pages and the topic had progressed to gender roles..
Well, on that, I think it is the *roles* that are important, not who does them. Caring and compassion and raising children is an important role - one usually associated with women, just like combat is usually associated with men. But both gender do well to nurse both their compassionate or caring side, as well as their aggressive side, because society needs both people of violence and people of peace. Best to have all prepared for both.

Cats are as manipulative, passive-aggressive, and attention seeking as human babies... but at least they will never learn to talk back.
(Although chances of unexpected pregnancies and unwanted boyfriends skulking around probably aren't any different, regardless of species)

And they *insist* on walking straight into and in front of you to get your attention. Dogs,though... social animals, easy to train, won't drag their claws into your feet if your foot's sticking out. Trustworthy. LOL cats are the sole reason I'll still have a harvest this year, they kill mice, field voles and root eating bugs by the dozens. Historically cats were super important to keep the grain reserves for the winter free from mice. The lives of people depended on mouse and rat hunting cats for a long time. Also cats are super clean, they're small and they feed themselves to 50% from outside sources. I love the independence of cats. Dogs are way needy and can be extremely annoying, they pant which is often quite disgusting, they need so much attention, I find the wet-dog smell unbearable, dogs can be dangerous to kids and other people, you have to go for a walk with them early in the morning no matter the weather, you have to provide them with all the food they need which can be a lot depending on the size of the dog, they have super short lives compared to cats and are much more prone to genetic diseases, they want to lik you all the time which can drastically increase the likelihood of contracting a disease or getting parasites, dogs can become very destructive if left alone - cats usually don't-. With cats you can go on a vacation for a couple of days without having to find a pet babysitter. And cats are relatively quiet. Also they show tons of affection if you treat them right. Yes, you can teach a dog a lot of tricks but honestly, do you need any of them in this day and age? I rather have cats that show their usefulness in keeping my garden clean from pests. The cat is the perfect pet. A dog is like a job. (I like dogs too, just not as pet)

Fairly pointless pet to have albeit cute, doesn't really serve a function, hell it won't even guard the house. At best it'll lead the burglar to the cabin with the food and demand some.

Cats are worse than rats in my experience. I still shudder from the stench and sight of their droppings all over my yards (that they didn't even bother to bury) and the loud ruckus they'd make late at night when they were either fighting each other or mating. Thankfully, between my mom's road wheels and the neighbor's mastiff (I once witnessed her killing one and *someone* might've helped her with it), the cat population has declined to more tolerable levels in this 'hood.
Feral cats are also a pest down under with the damage they do against the local widlife but thankfully we have some find upstanding blokes taking care of that problem.
If I lived in a more rural compound like Hickok45 I'd have seriously considered going after them with my .22lr rifle.

Trustworthy. Fairly pointless pet to have albeit cute, doesn't really serve a function, hell it won't even guard the house. At best it'll lead the burglar to the cabin with the food and demand some. They save my harvest every year, otherwise I had to resort to unhealthy chemicals and annoying time consuming practices to keep the natural occurring pests in my garden in check. Also my farmer neighbors are happy about the cats for the very same reason, and they love them. They kill a staggering amount of mice and rats, its a massacre. For most modern people, city dwellers, pets in general have little use nowadays, people back in the day used them to guard their livestock, for pest control, for alarm, for hunting purposes, even some for war. Situations most people never come across nowadays. About dogs, very VERY few breeds people own these days are even remotely capable to be used as guard dog, if the owner even knows how to put them into the role and gives them the proper training, which they mostly don't. Not to mention dogs require several times the effort, time and money cats do. So if you want a pet which is going to be useless 99% of the time, at least take a maintenance-free cheap and quiet one.

Man dogs are extremely useful, there's so many things we can teach dogs that are more than just cute tricks. Whether someone is using them as a seeing eye dog, sniffing out diabetes, hunting, rescue work, guarding etc. Dogs can take time to train but are highly intelligent creatures if someone is willing to put the time into them. Also when I was growing up my family's dogs were great at taking out rodents while the cats were nothing but lazy assholes. That's not to say I don't like cats, they're very cute and have their place but dogs are superior in every way and it's obvious. Some are very clean! And even go shopping for their owners! media.giphy.com/media/VTXzh4qtahZS/200w_d.gif

I can't that my previous male dog was big on cleanliness tho, he took taking a bath as being a worse punishment than being locked in the cage.

Yes but 99% of the dogs people own are cuddly pets and not work dogs. People nowadays don't even have the time to take proper care of them or train them, or take them out of the city, that is why dogs get increasingly inconvenient these days and animal shelters are STUFFED with them. I see it all around me, the first year the dog is awesome and then it becomes a inconvenience.- Cats are perfect pets for either those that need pest control or those that are busy with their work life and cannot take the time to take care of clingy dogs, have pet babysitters, train them and take care of them. And boy, some dogs are so clingy you cant even go to work without having somebody to watch over them lest they go insane, and vacations become a nightmare. The only good thing about dogs is they serve as perfect simulator animals for raising pre-school kids, and as a reality check for those who want to desperately have some kids but don't have a shred of responsibility in their bones. For the record, I had a dog, and while I loved her like freaking nothing else in the world she was so much work and I had to sacrifice so much of my little free-time left after work it nearly drove me insane, it was only work and dog, work and dog, no me-time at all.

I can't that my previous male dog was big on cleanliness tho, he took taking a bath as being a worse punishment than being locked in the cage. Luckily my dog loves the water. Jumping into the bath, lakes, the ocean, it's pretty hard keeping her away from it. Man dogs are extremely useful, there's so many things we can teach dogs that are more than just cute tricks.

For the record, I had a dog. Oh I've seen plenty of dicks that treat pets like disposable dish rags, loving them in the beginning and ignoring them once they become an inconvenience, so I get what you're saying. When I go to the shelter where I live, I see just as many abandoned cats as I do dogs and it's heartbreaking. I would hope most people would realize that any pet needs some amount of work (although some more than others) before getting them but people are dumb and can't even remember to feed their goldfish half of the time. I even knew a girl who always turned her dogs and cats into the shelter when they ended up costing her too much money etc. It's my personal opinion that someone like that shouldn't even be allowed to own any pets. Anyway cats are better for some people and certain dog breeds better for others. Most just need to do their research as to what pet fits their lifestyle best. You seem like a responsible person though, so I'm not against cool cat people and I even have a cat that's pretty cute. However in my book even if all a dog can give you is love, I still think that's a pretty great deal. I'm a biased dog person though, so I always have to defend their honor. PS. Dogs still rule....

And now imagine there are lots of people like that, and imagine many of them become parents. Gives me shivers.... I got both my cats from the shelter, I feel sad that I could not take them all with me. Also I have cats because I often feel too much responsibility for my pets, I'm often worried a lot when I do not have them around me and I'm very protective and care a lot about them. Especially when they're sick I make sure they get better treatment than most peoples kids, I'd sit beside them all night or help them feed and take care of their young all night etc. This drains me a lot though so I prefer somewhat carefree pets.

Exactly. Cats very much are ambush predators. We have three cats. We rarely see them hunt, but we do see the results of their hunt quite often. Any insect that wanders in from outside will be played with to extinction. As will our socks. The one mouse that dared brave our house did not die well, but it did perish. All of our cats are humane society alumni.

If i wanted a pet to take care of an insect problem I'd get a spider, not a cat.

I tolerate spiders to a point. They stay outside and don't venture inside my home except the little jumping spiders. I have two that stay by my windows. Which is fine that they stay there and don't venture any further into the home. Otherwise we'll have a problem, a short lived problem. I tolerate spiders because they kill and eat bugs, which I like even less.
I could never live in a place like Australia, where all kinds of weird dangerous creatures are big.
