I WISH I knew the answer to this question. I like to think I am a cute patoot, and I’ve never been inappropriately hit on by a strange man in public. And I know I look approachable, because when I play flute in the subway I get hella little kids waving at me and strangers wanting to chat about music. But no pervs. I…

Honestly (and plz don’t take this as an insult or a humblebrag because I swear I’m trying to support your point & not take away from it), I AM conventionally attractive. And I’ve never been hit on or sexually harassed in a public space. The fact that you can’t relate to this doesn’t suggest to me that you’re not cute…

So the tabloids have stopped misgendering Jenner and started being as sexist to her as they are to other women... is this... progress?? ~one million shrugs~

Not ultra relevant but I love that you keep saying “men-boys” and I kinda want to incorporate this into my daily vocabulary now.

I went to high school with a girl who played on the varsity baseball team. She is a badass and all-round impressive person, but she’s literally the only girl I’ve ever known who played baseball past age 12.

I mean, honestly, I REALLY want kids of both sexes to the extent that I’d probably do something like this for my second child. I know it sounds crazy but I really don’t think I could handle having only boys or only girls.

I have a video of myself narrating a brownie trip on my 19th birthday. It’s a thing of beauty and I am forever grateful to myself for hitting -record- on photobooth when I started feeling whack.

Mine was just “what” followed by “what, Yoko, seriously what” followed by wishing Yoko Ono was my grandmother.

BRO

Either online bullying is a significant problem or it isn’t dude like you can’t make a point and then make the opposite of that point in the same sentence....

Tilapia is GROSS, though. Not genetically engineered as some idiot restaurant customer apparently thinks, but still, gross. Flesh should not be as flavorless as potato. Let Pablo live out his days rather than turning him into food I disapprove of.

I don’t see why it’s a choice though. And the problem isn’t that the media encourages us to empathize with white criminals, the problem is that the media doesn’t encourage us to empathize with criminals who aren’t white. I think a lot of people are trying to fix the wrong side of the problem.

I empathize with everyone? Because I share a latin name with you, the victims, and the shooter? Because I’m a Quaker and the unconditional value of all humans regardless of their behavior is literally my highest value?

What if we just called it something else to distance from the USSR (understandable) and just advocate for unconditional economic and social equality?

I agree with literally every word you’ve written in this thread. There are some very rare cancers, but it would be totally bananas to stop calling calling them cancers just because most people with cancer don’t have those cancers. People who are capable of killing people have a damaged mentality. I don’t see how that…

I’ve never seen any of the movies with minions in them and I already think minions are better than people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I kiiinda take exception to “while we know that girls are better at math”. I think girls are culturally conditioned to shut up, not question authority, and do as they’re told, which is an advantage in the classroom and a disadvantage everywhere else. The fact that girls “outperform” boys early on academically isn’t an…

Funny story: yesterday my friend and I were jamming and trying to make up some lyrics for our jam, and he started singing some (what seemed like) very beautiful lines which made way more sense than anything we’d sung up until that point. Stuff about seizing the day and being full of energy. Then I realized he was…

Hi five for being a happy short person! I’m also a happy short person! People always gotta have a problem with the way they look and the way people react to their looks, I’m starting to feel guilty about enjoying getting picked up by my friends and shopping in the kids’ section for cheap.

I mean to be fair my boyfriend’s parents’ (they’re Indian) house has swastika-decor up the whazoo. The swastika is actually used in a modern non-racist context by people who had nothing to do with WWII. The Confederate flag, on the other hand, was invented purely to represent the Confederacy and I’m pretty sure it’s…
