First hand experience is priceless
so by your definition what do you assess me as- based on my posts?

Hard to say, you seem to be an original thinker, and fond of free food.
About your family situation it's quite hard to say but either you have an older sister or an older brother, most likely an older brother or two older brothers. Either way I don't think you're the oldest kid in the family, by the way you're writing the topic as a question, which implies that you have older siblings and are looking for answers.
How did I do?

The video wasn't bad at all, I don't know what the hell you are going on about.

Not good, I have two sisters, one older and one younger (4 years apart). I don't get your other psychobabble (no offense) though.
I'm pretty friendly with my sisters and I'm sure my older one would probably agree with me on this video even though she would be more inclined to disagree. (she's a psych/socio master's or bachelors, i forget) My younger sister is more naive and party type girl.
Pretty close with my mom although she is quite retarded a lot of times. Opposite with my father, although I wouldn't call him super smart, he is wise.
btw, this got me thinking. It would be neat if people made blogs asking others to describe them, you never really get honest opinions IRL of how people think of you and it is refreshing to see other perspectives of self. (did that make sense?)

My psychobabble is from a book on how our place in the family forms us which I read in psychology class. Then again I hardly have any info on you, so w/e.
I stand corrected =)

is that the same book that says stuff like youngest kid is always the 'salesman' or outgoing attention seeker type? And the middle kid is always the insane one. I forget the only child, but the process repeats every 4th kid supposedly. Also I think it said something like if there are 3 of girls/or of boys or more in a fam that one of them will be gay.

It's actually a book written by a danish psychiatrist who examined the family relations for 15 000 people and made profiles on the siblings.
But yeah, the youngest kid is generally speaking outgoing, rebellious and carefree. The middle kid is the people person who've learned to socialize with different people being in the middle of the family. The oldest kid/only kid are kind of alike and take on leadership and responsibility and are individualists.

I thought in a family of five, where all siblings are the same gender, the studies showed the youngest often had an inferiority complex (for obvious reasons). I would hardly call that outgoing/carefree.
I think you need to look at your notes again.

Like I said before, (and Fou affirmed) I read something like that it goes in 3s the first kid is a leader, second is social/crazy, 3rd is attention seeker. Then it repeats, so 4th would be leader, 5th social/crazy.
I'm not 100% though does that sound right (because it fits)?

Yeah, that's the saying, but what about the study. You have to take into account gender, not just the birth order. How does it make sense that a child growing up with two older brothers beating him up and using him as an outlet to their anger, always needing to be 'saved' by his parents (which only breeds resentment in the older siblings) becomes an extrovert?
I'm googling for the study but I can't find it =/ Couldn't find it in my textbook either...

The youngest child is likely to be the most pampered in a family with more than one child. After all, he or she is the only one who is never dethroned! And so youngest children are the second most likely source of problem children, just behind first children. On the other hand, the youngest may also feel incredible inferiority, with everyone older and "therefore" superior. But, with all those "pace-setters" ahead, the youngest can also be driven to exceed all of them.
But that's all just theory... I can't find the stats.

Something interesting to think about: The reason feminism is shunned down upon by many people is because it namely promotes womens rights. If promoting womens rights make people angry or joke about it, that says quite alot about the views we have of women and how seriously we take them. ITT we assume critics of feminism are all men, and are all against equality.

I love this blog. An overreaction to a video which is itself an overreaction gets overreacted to, and then everyone else proceeds to overreact (and overreact to each others' overreactions) in the comments.
Five stars.

The people arguing against feminism in this thread have no idea what it even is, and the people arguing for it haven't made it past the second wave. How delightful.
For example:

Modern feminists have really lost their way. Equality does not equate to sameness.
The video has nothing to do with modern feminism, it's about unequal power in relationships on the personal level (no, not that kind of Power, Foucault) and is actually pretty sound for anyone in a relationship. It doesn't surprise me that it's got CM all riled up, because he's a neanderthal with a keyboard.
It's directed towards women because the actual evidence of abuse in relationships is directed against them. Turning a blind eye towards history and context accomplishes nothing, and likely only aggravates the problem, whether we're talking about individual or societal issues. It's like saying we shouldn't highlight race when talking about the Jim Crow South.
