What if both are true at the same time? Whether strictly socialized or not, I think we can say with certainty that at least some people are fooling themselves as to their genuine sexuality. Optimistically, we'd like to think that some people are being true to themselves. On a social level, for all intents and…

What is up with an industry that is supposedly so welcoming to disenfranchised men yet can't seem to offer the same sanctuary for women?

The work that goes into these costumes just amazes me. Some of these people should be working on movies.

Is there some sort of compelling national security issue that prevents cell phone companies from improving their security?

I wonder how these hackers would feel about their own naked pictures being spread all over the internet?

The headline is worded like one of those ads that's trying to not look like an ad.

That looks like a very typical, very closed relationship. What's the open part?

You know, there was a study put our recently that shows that men get double what women get in terms of verbal online abuse.

Gah. First I heard of it. Thanks (sort of) for the link.

Somebody touches you against your will, you teach them a lesson. Doesn't matter what your gender is.

I still vote for fighting back. You're right that you might get hurt either way, so you might as well take the path that affords you self-respect afterward.

Still against Orwellian cameras. Those would (will ... and do) just lead to women being abused in other ways.

"I can honestly say I will always stand up to someone who thinks they can get away with this behaviour. I'd take a punch again from this loser or any other loser who thinks it's OK to treat women like this."

Is that the law? I didn't know that.

I suppose that "while wearing a wetsuit" is kind of a best-case scenario for being pooped on.

Do women really have a better sense of smell than men?
