- Public nudity. (How is it fair that animals can be nude in public, but not people? Time to get over our puritanical mentality. No one needs to be nude, but if that's what they prefer, let them!)
- NOT tipping. Tipping is one of the worst socially encouraged customs in North America. One reason why I deliberately choose to make my own food instead of eating out is precisely so I don't feel social pressure to automatically tip someone, even if the service is mediocre or poor.
- Telling strangers to mind their own business when they ask questions that are invasive to one's privacy.

it's actually legal here in Ontario but women never do it because it tends to attract the usual dipshits you'd think it would. that, and let's not forget some you DON'T want to see may do that too. lol Insulting the appearance of women may be a touch more unattractive to them than living with your parents. |

Wages are higher across the board here anyway and it's still not ideal, but hey even so. If you live in the US, you're f***ing over people that do a shitty job that they get paid way too little for as it is by not tipping. |

The idea that some jobs are more 'tip-worthy' than others is stupid and arbitrary. I've worked lots of jobs that paid sub-minimum wage and was never expected to receive a tip - not because I didn't work hard, but just because of social arbitration. Instead of whining, I was grateful to have a job and used that experience to get into jobs that paid slightly better wages. Any job that pays so poorly is meant to get one's foot in the door, not to keep one financially afloat. You take the craptacular job to get experience, and then you use that experience to get a job that pays better and is hopefully at least a little less craptacular. Rinse and repeat. |

Not having to wear makeup. Guys can just wash their faces and walk out the door, why can't I?
Having to dress up for a job that NO one is going to see you doing (business casual at a call center? Really?)

Not all of course, but most of these are things you people could be doing. Don't wear makeup if you don't want, wear a cape if you want to wear a cape, and don't tip if you don't feel like it. And if you want to wear leather and fur to work go for it as long as it isn't against dress code. Be yourselves people, f*** social acceptance.

Women having body hair. Sometimes it's just a pain in the ass to shave or wax. Thank god the weather here is getting cold, so I can wear pants to cover my legs. There's always laser removal. I'm a guy and shaving isn't fun for me either. I think about having my face lasered sometimes. I know it's expensive but I'd save a lot of time and a lot of money not having to shave anymore. I wouldn't miss doing that every day. I'm currently in the midst of doing this, actually. You would most likely still need to shave from time to time. Laser hair removal -can- be permanent/semi-permanent, but this is not always necessarily the case at all. My underarms, for example, are basically hairless after many treatments. I'll still need to run a razor across it every now and again, though. My face is taking longer and it's actually painful. (Legs and underarms were not painful) I am noticing results, but I'm not close to being able to skip more than a day or so of shaving. In about three more months, I should be having much stronger results. And, of course, you still need to shave through the course of the treatment. The laser will make some of your hair fall out on its own, but not very much. Prices over here are pretty good. It was ~$45 for a year of underarm treatments. That's pretty much nothing. It's something I recommend, but keep in mind that it's not necessarily a perfect sort of thing. Hair color, in particular, matters a lot. If you're fair-haired it will not work very well, so I've been told. |

I only wear make up when I HAVE to (if I'm in front of the camera). I just want to wear sweats and t-shirts to a job where no one sees my face |

That's a lot of justification for being cheap. Right, so resort to ad-hominem insults rather than issuing a sound counter-argument. I'm supposed to believe I'm wrong just because you insult me in blind defense of your nonsensical and arbitrary social norms. Kiss my ass, buddy. |

Women should be able to go topless, if they so please, in all the places where it's socially acceptable for men to do the same. In Yap it is tradition for everyone to go topless. |

Yeah, ok, whatever you say Mr. Pink. ... and I'm wrong because why? You know this system and you choose to purposely do it to prove a point to nobody by LITERALLY taking money out of your servers out of your servers pocket. That's why your wrong. Don't eat out? That's fine then whatever but don't tell me that my job isn't real and I should get a new one. The system exists and some people really need to learn to deal with it as opposed to making social diatribes about why they really need that extra 7.95 themselves but not enough to make their own f***ing Steak at home. |

I'm supposed to believe I'm wrong just because you insult me in blind defense of your non-nonsensical and arbitrary social norms. Kiss my ass, buddy. It'd be ad hominem if my purpose in that post was to actually debate the merits, or lack thereof, of your stance. It was a snarky one-off post, not an attempt to argue against it and mixing in personal attacks to support my arguments. Thus ad hominem doesn't apply. I actually prefer how it is in other countries where the kitchen and serving staff are given fair wages and the "tip" is factored into the overall cost of the meal. But your stance only punishes and blames the servers, rather than the perpetrators, who are trapped in that industry, with a flimsy bootstraps argument that isn't applicable to many in this post-2007 Recession economy. Just as an aside, it's probably a good thing you avoid American restaurants with your stance on tipping since that's the sorta thing that'd get your food messed with by the staff. |
