No, where do you live? Have you ever lived in DC or SF or NYC or Rome or...? Dudes be jerking off on public transit all the time. When I was a teen there was a guy we dubbed "The Red Line Masturbator", and he got me, my mom and my sis at least once.

You're melting the icy shard of black crystal I have in place of a heart! You will undo all my evil schemes!

Other countries being more patriarchal obviates the possibility that America is patriarchal? Are there limited supplies of patriarchy to go around, so that if Japan is using too many, the U.S. ain't got none? Cool story, bro.

Airtight logic. You've got us dead to rights here. Except that feminists, being a bunch of humans, disagree about things. There are lots of feminists who think Kim Kardashian is shallow and boring, and others (more) who would grant that although she may well be shallow and boring, she is nonetheless reviled all out of…

I think that you should probably stop listening to anti-feminist assholes, and instead listen to some actual feminists. Then you'd learn that feminism is not about shielding women from any criticism, a goal both impossible and idiotic. How would feminists conceivably make any political progress if no one could…

Anti-feminism, by contrast, is just about being an asshole. That makes it effortless to master, and thus disproportionately attractive to people of limited intelligence. You just run with this, Mufafa. You're not realistically likely to come up with any more coherent or logical world-view. So fuck the haters; never…

I pay my maid $950SGD a month, plus $50 if she works on a public holiday, plus a 13th month bonus at Xmas, a plane ticket home for her yearly vacation (3-6 weeks) and a $500 hong bao for her family. I additionally pay for all her son's medical care and physical therapy after he suffered a fall an seizure 3 years ago…

Yeah but as the saying goes, you can't con an honest man. No sensible, reasonable family would ever agree to this arrangement, because they would recognize that if you want a live-in nanny (an incredible, wonderful luxury!) you need to pay this person money, so that she can buy things for herself (like toiletries?!?)…

Yeah, what the ever lovin' blue-eyed fuck? I live in Singapore, and I have a live in maid/nanny. She gets room and board, obviously, but there's also a minimum wage. It's horribly low and we pay her about double the minimum, but the minimum wage exists, as do mandatory days off once a week on Sunday. Singapore does…

Yeah, that'd be "just outed myself as a racist asshole" for $500. I would have recommended not going there.

Not envious of Coach purses. Envious of Hermès purses.

No, of course not, but we get to practice crosswords in case any real ones develop.

"its like a dentist to fix your car."

Obviously you know lots of meth-heads for whom meth is way more important than whether they love men or women, when they can get it up. I know these people are important to you, since they're family, but you shouldn't let the views of a sheltered minority dominate your thinking in this way, dude.

I understand the issues you face as a non-native speaker of English, but I think you can do better than this. Make some fucking sense. Which lifestyles are not activities? Which sorts of disagreements rise to discrimination? When is the apostrophe used to indicate that the verb "to be" has been appended in its…

For my part I'm rather surprised that with your poor grasp of spelling and grammar you even managed to get onto the internet, much less muster up complaints about reviews. 20 significant spelling or grammatical errors in post that's only 200 words and is more than 1/3 grammatical quotes from a third party. Almost…

I LOLed.

I am so, so sorry, that is really scary. You should talk to a local pro-tenant advocacy if you are a renter, because the landlord has a legal obligation to provide a space free from sexual harassment, much as an employer does, under federal law. If you document the instances of harassing behavior just as you would for…

I have been having the happy feeling that I'm aging out of street harassment (alongside the concomitant worry that my daughters at 10 and almost 13 are growing into prime harassment years). I don't know to what degree it has faded just because I moved out of the States to Singapore and the culture is strongly against…

OK cool. I realized prety much the grossest thing anyone ever said to me on the street "I want to fuck you till you bleed" was when I was wearing a black turtleneck and a full-length skirt, with combat boots, Buddy Holly glasses and aforesaid haircut. Then I decided, fuck it, I'm not going to bother to try to dress to…
