Got the wife a new vibrator for xmas as she's gone without one for a while, plus I got into the habit of just grabbing the cucumber out of the fridge. I obviously let her pick which one as I probably would of got her a giant monster of a thing, but anyhow she's got one now. It cost me £65 and it's the fifty shades of grey one or something like that. Thing is she's barely bothering with me now and just wants her new vibrator. Knew I should of made her wait until xmas day until she had it.

That moment when someone asks you if you want to do something, and you're just DESPERATE to say no, but you can't think of a good excuse, and you sit there with everyone looking at you while you go 'umm . . . err' racking your brains, and then you end up giving in out of politeness and then hating yourself for your weakness.

People who queue up at 2am in the morning for the Boxing day sales. 

That actually cheers me up. Laughing at simpletons is not a bad way to pass time. The best part is that there are all kinds of sites keeping track of prices so you have all the data at hand to avoid getting ripped off on Boxing day (or any other day). Still, a truckload of people still go out there, and some actually starts fights about who wants to get ripped off the most. Its bloody wonderful!!! :lol:

All this multiple gender bullshit in general. Facebook in the UK has 71 gender options to choose from. Craziness

I don't mind all those categories heing available, but they aren't genders - of which there are only two - male or female. They are an additional category used to identify things like 'personality type', 'sexuality', 'fashion style', 'toilet preference', 'state of mind', and dozens of other things. Arguably, you should have the option to to declare gender (m/f) - or decline to do so - and then to use a second category to identify as one of the above myriad self perceptions.

Exactly, they aren't genders as you say. Trouble is, there is plenty of people who believe in this... "Oh, I don't identify my gender as either a male or female"

I don't know if they are genuinely confused and need medical help or they are just attention whores. The full list below:

They aren't genders, they are the fantasies of idiots.

The OED describes the usage here:

Quote

Although the words gender and sex both have the sense 'the state of being male or female', they are typically used in slightly different ways: sex tends to refer to biological differences, while gender refers to cultural or social ones.

It's not surprising people have created additional "genders" to refer to "cultural or social" interpretations of the word.

I agree with you though. One question asking male, female, other, no answer. With a follow up if more info is needed.
