Washroom Signs For Men And Women

Women’s and men’s washrooms: we encounter them nearly every time we venture into public space. To many people the separation of the two, and the signs used to distinguish them, may seem innocuous and necessary. Trans people know that this is not the case, and that public battles have been waged over who is allowed to use which washroom. The segregation of public washrooms is one of the most basic ways that the male-female binary is upheld and reinforced.

As such, washroom signs are very telling of the way societies construct gender. They identify the male as the universal and the female as the variation. They express expectations of gender performance. And they conflate gender with sex.

Tom And Jerry Lounge


Tom and Jerry is an American series of theatrical animated cartoon films created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, centering on a never-ending rivalry between a cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry) whose chases and battles often involved comic violence. Hanna and Barbera ultimately wrote and directed one hundred and fourteen Tom and Jerry shorts at the MGM cartoon studio in Hollywood between 1940 and 1957, when the animation unit was closed. The original series is notable for having won the Academy Award for Animated Short Film seven times, tying it with Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies as the theatrical animated series with the most Oscars. A longtime television staple, Tom and Jerry has a worldwide audience that consists of children, teenagers and adults, and has also been recognized as one of the most famous and longest-lived rivalries in American cinema. In 2000, TIME named the series one of the greatest television shows of all time.early today i made a comment that i should not of made and am very sorry and will stop this very instant. for a view ideas for this programme is that have pov of tom and jerry and what there life is like.

Mind Your Own Business


Another good mind-my-own-business joke: A boy in Brooklyn’s outside of a candy shop shoveling candy in his mouth. A man approaches the boy and says, “Don’t eat candy, kid. It’s not good for you.” The boy replied, “My grandfather lived until he was 97.” “Really,” said the man. “Did he eat a lot of candy, too?” The boy replied, “No, but he minded his own fucking business.”

Congratulations! It’s A Boy


Good mothers are supposed to say they are happy with a boy or a girl, as long as the baby is healthy. But gender disappointment is a very real and heartbreaking issue that affects many pregnant women.

Just because a woman has a gender preference does not mean she is a bad mother or that she doesn’t want the child.

Just The Truth

Every woman will say, “Not all women are like that” when you make a generalization about women, which I find amusing, seeing as how usually the woman saying that is exactly like that….

Also, men think with their brains. That’s why all the greatest philosophers were men.
