What cracks me up is that toxic people my age would say that if your going to lather up with a body wash and exfoliating sponge you may as well invite your boyfriend into the shower with you.
This system is fine. While patterns are obviously easier to hack, having unique passwords for each site and being able to remember them puts your friend in the 90th percentile of computer users.
What men are afraid of is being gay. Sexuality research suggests that sexual preference is a spectrum, not a binary. So it's common to have same sex attractions. Our culture will instill that being gay is the worst, before you even know what gay is. It's also shockingly common for boys to be sexually victimized.
Many men question their sexuality. Now add in the nonsense of reactionary gender rolls with strict and rigid religious dogma and it's no wonder. Being anti-gay is loudly signaling no-homo to the world.

Self defense is a fantasy of control. If you want to eliminate threats to yourself rationally, eat more vegetables, take care of your mental health, and drive carefully.
"Guilty until proven innocent" is a rule for the government, not for me. If you disagree, please explain your feelings about the unfair treatment of the innocent non-murderer OJ Simpson.
And what is her fault? She likes getting money for nothing?
Maybe she should just be polite, agreeable, and allow gooners their fantasies of possessing her free of charge. That worked so well for Marylin Monroe.
If M$ was smart, they'd develop a version of Windows optimized for gaming. But they can't do that without implying that desktop Windows is inferior for games.
I used to work with a guy that smoked and refused to wear a seat-belt. He carried a gun though, just in case his life was in danger.
