And speaking of which . . .

My current pet peeve is the monetization of misogyny.

And discovering that I'm never again going to be able to purchase from a store that I've patronized in the past.

That's cool for you to use your $L to support (or not support) a cause.

However, not everyone would see this as misogyny. What do you know about either people in the photo?

Part of feminism, and I wrote this a few days ago, here in this thread, when the talk was about high heels, is the RIGHT for each woman to choose for herself, how to behave, what gives her joy and value, etc.

Personally, I don't need that kind of judgey judgey about MY choices (and this isn't one of them, btw) coming from others. It is this kind of holier-than-thou PC that gets my knickers in a twist. When I'm wearing knickers.

I'd ask them why they spelled hell that way. Is that a bad word now? 

I decorated it in case the word is not allowed in forums, but it was "hell" in the message.  Is this an example of "passive-aggressive", if someone asks "What the hell is the matter with you"?

Peeved at myself this morning for not checking an establishment's hours of operations before leaving the house. 

I walked to the post office this morning with some packages to mail, thinking "the earlier the better", got there at 9 a.m. and found out their counter service doesn't open until 10 a.m.  

So I went home and walked back shortly after 10, waited in line and got the packages in the mail and then walked through the bakery section of the nearby grocery store and got myself a package of 2-bite cinnamon rolls  :) which I'm having now with my coffee as brunch.

"This is disgusting" and "misogyny!" typed by the very same people who stood up for the "LookitME! I'm an escort!" and how no one should judge them for how they lived their SL etc PC-ness etc full display.

Uh... what do you think an escort DOES? For money?

Make up your minds peeps!

Open minded, let adults make their own consensual agreements and have their own SL lives, or be judgey McJudgers clutching your Church Lady pearls.

I hate when that happens, but yay for cinnamon rolls.

Pet peeve: When an SL / forum acquaintance messages you with "What the he!! is wrong with you?".

In such cases, just delete the convo and walk away. Someone else is having a worse day!

I've been told by another member of the tribe that we have a custom of answering a question with a question. So I think my response would be, "What? It's taken you this long to notice?"

More like the majority of them are all using the same templates.

I first became aware of how prevalent that is a little over a year (?) ago. There was a full-perm dress template out, apparently, for a formal gown. I really liked the way it looked when I saw it in the first "designer's" ad. Then I saw the dress again, with a slight tweak, and thought "huh, that's odd. Maybe a dress like that was in RL Vogue or something..." Then I saw the (tweaked) dress again. And again. At every frickin "event" and then I finally realized "Ooooooh. There must be a full perm base dress out there..."

Yeesh.

There are a few stores, inworld & MP, that sell full perm clothing templates --- some fairly cheap, in the grand scheme of things.  That is why we have zillions of stores all over SL selling the same thing, just textured differently.

As long as the misogynist is a friend it seems to be all good.

Love the ad. Since that's what bangu wants to do to talli.

I have nothing against Scylla. Even like her name. Hey, hey Scylla and Charybdis.

Simply. The hypocrisy is hilariously absurd..

But don’t you see, either way they get to hop up on the soapbox and have an ‘opinion’ and a ‘say’ about it which, hey-ho and surprise-surprise...is always quite judge-y. Because that’s what they do, it’s their proven MO in thread after thread.

edit: my personal peeve is that I’m currently out of Christmas candy and feeling cranky about it.

Cranky but on topic.

I have known enough RL sex workers, that I certainly don't judge.

Men complain that women have all the choices. Yes, if by choice you mean 437,982 variations of Daisy Dukes and crop tops. (and the ubiquitous slip-dress micro mini)

Poor Orwar. I’m serious too. Fashionable and dark men’s things of good quality are some of the hardest to find. Ever.

   I mean. Neph has been around much shorter than Orwar has. Her wardrobe has more than 11 times as many things in it (and Orwar has 2 bodies, Neph only uses 1). Both have the same fashion sense. So ... Yeah.

Remember R Fyre? Back in the day they had so many things, unique things for both men and women. (sad face)

ETA: I do know menswear has been and still is "tough" to find. As is men's hair. But finding interesting and unique things, while back in the day was still hard to do for females, was possible. I could list so many designers that used to do this. Big stores. And then the few one-offs I'd find by wander in Japanese areas or Italian areas. Sigh. Now... short short jean shorts (really "cool" if unzipped) and crop tops. Decent textures optional.

The lack of proper dark, gothic clothing choices for men are exactly why my male mesh bodies lay neglected  by Vtech/Matireya and then just Marityra's flast chest is my main bod. It's  hard finding decent things without  looking like  you or Skell.  ;; Such is how small the  pool is.

 

Other peeve of the day:  Lack of good  Gothic furniture that doesn't kill my  LI count in just three pieces

I just want to make the inside of my  LH Cabin reflect my tastes dang it..

   Yeah, Skell does have some astonishing looks that I couldn't pull off too, I'm not quite as adventurous as he is. I don't think I've changed my clothes for nearly two weeks by now, and because I finally gave in and bought some untucked shirts I can only wear them with two or three different choices of trousers from what I have. 

   Neph can mix and match a lot more since, well, tops that don't reach the waist don't tend to clip with trousers. Something is going to have to go very wrong before I put a crop top on Orwar!

   Let me know if you find anything on that front, my place is rather empty.
