Where I live, I don’t have cell coverage, although I do have a DSL connection through the land line for my computer. But if you are more then 100’ from my house, NO WI-FI signal.
I am t thinking of creating a building enmeshed in wire and grounded. I’ll call it “The Faraday Cage” and rent it out for affairs. You’ll have to go outside to smoke or to tweet.
Danae isn’t really all that nice so I’m having trouble seeing the attraction unless it’s the fact they both don’t like males (I have to assume Danae still loves her Dad…but I’ve been wrong before).
All non-hermaphroditic creatures, even invertebrates, have to have a means of making males; testosterone is by far the most prevalent mechanism (other creatures are made male/female depending on the temperature the egg is exposed to). Furthermore, ALL members of the same species have both testosterone and estrogens, which have many other functions than anything the public associates with male/female sexes. A testosterone free zone will have little animal species diversity in it.
I love places like that. In many of the National Parks you can find those signal free spots and it’s just lovely. Even if you are on the more crowded popular trails it’s good to see kids and some of the adults getting engaged in the environment around them, even if they keep checking for a signal from time to time. ;) OK, it’s also great to not hear them having distracting conversations that could wait for them to return home. It’s good for them to learn that the world won’t disappear just because they aren’t tweeting and such.
One thing that disturbs me about Jill and her Woods of Magical Niceness is her ugly long johns. A true child of nature would be naked, no? And are the long johns a character flaw in the character or Wiley’s unwillingness to offend the prudish among us who explode at the drop of a hat? Or the drop of the long johns, in this case.
remembering all the mean girls in both middle school, high school and college – and how most never changed as adults, it ain’t testosterone that’s causing a lack of ‘niceness’. Maybe it’s just upbringing.
About 10 years ago, a rather controversial think piece was published in a British newspaper. The piece was written by a woman who was reflecting on her failed experiment at running an all-female company.
As she explained, she had bought into the myth of “toxic masculinity” and so presumed that an all-female workforce would be healthier for everyone involved. Problem was, between her going too far in making the place “comfortable”, her rather weak management style, and the lack of men driving everyone forward, the women in her office were pretty quick to go “Mean Girls” on everyone else. Fights were an alarmingly common occurrence, especially once the employees divided themselves into cliques. Things got so bad that one of her managers refused to hire someone solely because the someone couldn’t distinguish between different brands of luxury clothing even though that had nothing to do with the job.
Things got so bad that she finally had to bring men in just to get jobs done, but the guys found themselves on the receiving end of the “Mean Girls” treatment as well; those women who weren’t harshing on them for being men were fighting each other over having first dibs at the new possible boyfriend.
So yeah… the company ended up collapsing due to toxic femininity.

WE all carry a mix of male and female hormones. Now imagine just female hormones for males and females. What would that do…

What happens if Jeffrey shows up-and he and Jill are both instantly smitten? Oops…

Is Jill’s real name: “Thomasina Bombadil”?

As a male penguin, I can’t argue with the blunt logic of a nice place being devoid of testosterone!

This is obviously the beginning of an arc. Yes, what will happen if Jeffrey shows up?

I’m sorry, not to be accusative, but isn’t this ’toon a little sexist? I guess there is a sexist hormone in everyone.

While this comic does make a good point, it must be said that not ALL men are cretinous barbarians. I certainly am not.
