I've done the FB thing, and I stopped things when he started having feelings for me I didn't reciprocate.

Anecdotal, but it does happen IRL, sitcom writers.

Mine is 'Female persuasion....it is more powerful than you realise'...

I, for one, welcome our new lady overlords (overladies?) ¬_¬

I have the sincere belief that the police forces (in all countries) could do with more women. The harrowingly similar Jaycee Lee Dugard case was eventually solved based largely on a policewoman's intuition that something was off about the way the perp behaved, which really makes me wonder how much quicker these women…

Don't the Amish basically do that?

Isn't the voice-over Donald Sutherland? I tend not to trust companies that employ big name celebrities in their ads because it seems like a sign they are MAKING TOO MUCH MONEY...and are therefore probably fairly unscrupulous.

But how can I kept my hair clean looking and non-greasy when the menz are running their hands through it to get to my sexy neck all the time?! G-damn it real life!

Really interesting lecture, thanks for the link.

Least she's apparently proud of her British heritage. You shine on, you crazy patriotic bloodied torso!

I'm more worried about the implication that he pressed his tool into the frosting.

Well, good luck in your new role as part mime, part empty sounding board, lady.

Stupid argument. What kind of a depressingly apathetic world would it be if emotionally invested people stopped being emotionally invested in causes? She's targeting an actual problem, to attempt to prevent it from happening to others, which is hugely laudable. she's not justifying racist ideals through personal…

I kept trying to fast forward this to get to the good bits.

^^ YES. THIS. I normally hate ad hominem attacks on female critics, but the total absence of objectivity makes it clear that Linda is indeed a jealous wizened old biatch to write something like this.

I would agree with this to some extent- that on the whole women are socialised to be 'nice' ourselves, especially in terms of using codified language to reject advances, and we could probably do a lot by worrying less about convention, and more about conveying what we want (or don't want) openly. On the other hand,…

'What the fuck else do you want him to do'- maybe steer clear of writing hypocritical articles on a feminist website, unless they're from the 'I too was once an entitled prick, and here's what I've learnt, and what these guys could do about it' standpoint?

Kinda wish this article had just been written by Laurie Penny, or even the woman who started NGOKC. The message of the article - which I imagine is pretty self evident to most feminists anyway - is fair enough, but given Schwyzer's history, seems a little hypocritical of him to be offering condemnation of men behaving…
