If said blue-eyed Biff Anglo had converted to Islam, I wouldn't see a problem with it. It's not totally uncommon for people to change their names based on the culture they feel more a part of.

Boo

Yeah, I'd agree that it's worse for women for the most part. It's a good example of how misogyny hurts men, too.

A conversation about the power (or powerlessness) of a construct like "sexy" is about a million times more interesting and worthwhile than a bunch of commenters taking the opportunity to share their boring-ass ideas about what they think is sexy. Sure, conversations where we all talk about our personal definitions of…

I also don't see how this means that people talking about their opinions on "sexy" means they didn't understand the article. It's interesting to hear other people's viewpoints on the matter. My idea of "sexy" is different from Bob's idea of sexy is different from Ashley's idea of sexy and so on. Unless you are talking…

Oh, God, I just read that one now. Ew. Yeah, I'm assuming that one's more for the attention or to make people think she's funny...GAHHH

My only objection to this guy's movement is that it's for men only. Does he not know that women have porn addictions/struggles, too? And that we are even more repressed and shamed about it than men? Seriously. We need to end the myth that women don't like/watch porn.

I'm a Christian, but I pretty much agree with all you've said here. I really don't get why this article is so snarky on the subject of a man urging men to stop watching porn. I know a lot of people (men and women) who have had addictions/struggles with porn and how it affected their sex lives and relationships. Maybe…

Dude...if this was how literature actually was, it would be so fucking boring and pointless. Literature can be very powerful by making commentary on racism, homophobia, sexism, and class wars, and bringing these things into discussion. The only way to do this is to have at least some diversity among the characters. If…

This is something I've considered as a writer. Most of my stories have a white female narrator, and most of the other characters are white. The only experience I have is that of a white woman, and I don't feel that I could properly write a story from a different point of view unless I pretended that racism didn't…

I guess it really just depends on the situation and the person who is doing it. If a kid loses someone they care about who was close to them, like a family member, and they want to post a selfie of themselves at the funeral, then whatever. It might seem gross to others but maybe doing something so goofy helps to take…

I forgot to mention my boyfriend's enthusiasm for my "un-ladylike qualities". I NEVER thought I'd meet a guy that was okay with my occasionally chronic farting, let alone think it's cute. I swear, that's at least 50% of the reason I love him so much.

When my boyfriend doesn't shave for a few days...He's got thick, dark, lush Irish/Cuban hair and I love it. It makes me want to hug him so hard! He's several years younger than me, so I think I attribute facial hair to maturity or something.

I have definitely had moments where I've wondered if the whole beauty-standard thing is a massive and elaborate ruse used to distract women from important things (like human rights and education and voting and whatnot) by making us obsess over trying to imitate a doctored image of a size 0 Victoria's Secret model. And…

It's kind of strange how excited I get when I see such progressive and thoughtful comments from men on women's bodies. As fucked up as the media portrays women, I think it portrays men badly, as well. For most of my teen years I honestly thought that the only thing men cared about was how I looked and when/if they…

Ok, I am officially done arguing with you. I just said I agreed with you that male rape deserves the same empathy as female rape, but you're still screaming at me. And I didn't have a dream about raping a doll, I had a dream about wanting to see what was under the loin cloth, but the doll ran away from me (God I feel…

Did you ever feel gipped that you had to work harder, or did you feel a little proud?

OMG I am rolling. That's freaking hilarious!

Wow...My bad. This is surprising. So, as a woman, you've really never heard guys talk badly about women's bodies? You've never felt the cultural pressure to be "perfect"?

That's a thing? Instead of saying trick or treat you have to tell a joke?
