You know what I hate? How the word empowerment lost its original use and context

Off Topic

I’m building a new homebrew world for Pathfinder (D&D 3.75) and the Gnomes have a smaller population than any other race and segregate in their own areas, including Gnometown in the city of Trademeet. They don’t have their own nation as such.

Some Gnomes (aka the Gnome Mafia)

The closest they have to a protective organization. Some Gnomes might hire adventurers or take care of the problem themselves. Whether this is an actual organization or just a bunch of local Gnomes who happen to join up to deal with an issue is left as a GM exercise. In my game, it is a cultural/societal thing where those with power take the responsibility for taking care of others, as they have no government of any type. A non-Gnome asking a Gnome to direct or introduce them to “Some Gnomes” will most certainly be mirthfully directed to some neighbor they don’t like.

As in “Gosh, Some Gnomes might take an interest in that.”

I understand the thing with cat calling, but Idk, men are also more likely to be cheered on.

Because back in the day such things were more socially acceptable and women didn’t really have an forum to complain about it or get society to change. Now we’re in the process of making those changes.

Oof, maybe wanna rephrase that?

Equating male sexuality with sexual harassment = Dumb.

One might say seriously misandrist.

Women Now Empowered By Everything A Woman Does

Yeeeaaaaa, it’s rape month!!!

CMC fnord!

If only there was a way to disable that autocorrect
Anyways, let’s talk about an introvert for a second shall we?

Sure. Introverts are empowered not to go to that social party and can instead stay home and play with their cats.

Which introvert do you wish to talk about?

The one who thinks college rape isn’t all that bad.

Lucy, so if you’re in the dorm pool room and some big athlete comes in, bends you over the table and anally rapes you, that isn’t that bad? :dubious:

Given your other threads, would it help you if he was black?

I love this. So, so much.

You misspelled World of Warcraft. (That’s THIS introvert’s preferred-to-a-party activity, anyway.)

I got a question, do I have priviledge? Being raised by a single mother and not haven’t had a friend technically in almost 11 year’s? Me being still socially rejected?

I know I am making some bold statements and on the other hand I do want to fight my ignorance.

Not so bold when you keep trying to change the subject.

You’re constantly jumping around. Why not stick with one thing to talk about?

I tried to pick a generic activity. This introvert prefers to play guitar badly or hop on my bicycle or go for a hike with the wife and dog. That many choices definitely means I’m probably more empowered than others! :smiley:

Not technically.

Wha??? That sentence has words, but means nothing.
