That sounds extremely frustrating. So she's passive except when she's not?

Lady, nobody likes a bossy bottom.

He knows that, which is why he wants to marry you!

In your case, it sounds as though the ring is for him, his sense of self, etc., more than it is for you. So give him the gift of letting him give you a ring!

Write this into a novel!

To be honest, even those this may sound cynical, it isn't all that unlikely that these women are purposely allowing this to be done to them for the media coverage. I mean, all you need is for some stupid troll or kid to take the bait, right? It is making it very easy for them to pursue whatever type of misandry…

I can count on one hand the number of times I've thought let alone said that a person can't be a feminist and also [blank]. Because people might have different views about what is best for women and gender equality, and even if I disagree, I generally believe those people are coming from a genuine place. Those…

It always boggles my mind that people don't realize poor people aren't the ones with their money. Look for the people who actually have the money.

That's why you establish yourself in one lane before going to the next. Am I misunderstanding you? You can see the truck in the exit lane from the dashcam, so it's absolutely not invisible from the right lane.

You meant to say a "minority of women". Right? Because obviously you're not so sexist as to consider adult women on par with children. I mean, you wouldn't call women "girls" for the same reason you wouldn't call black men "boys".

From a business point of view, what you did was genius. You rendered good will from the customers instead of shutting down the store, making no sales, and pissing off your customer base. The night was screwed, and you salvaged something.

You mean like celebrity sex symbol Adam Baldwin? I'm not sure why anyone thinks these guys are all social outcasts.

It's why I never read Norman Mailer. He reads too much like a men's magazine.

Can you please give us your definition of "feminists" and "SJWs"?

You're a functional person who got through the period without harming your long term goals, and has drawn some happiness in your adult life. That sounds pretty resilient to me, consider what you went through. You never even broke done at the time. That's damn impressive.

They're not going for the women vote. They're going for the, um, not-too-bright vote.

You underwent a period of prolonged abuse. No would question the effects if it had been done in your home. You have a right to your trauma, and if it's still something that bothers you, you should consider some focused therapy. Honestly, it seems like you're an exceptionally resilient person.

You described the way my mom has kept her fridge for as long as I can remember.

We have a Tilted Kilt near my office (tilted to reveal your server's pelvis, naturally) and some of the dudes went there for lunch/after work from time to time. You know. For the sports. Women definitely did not feel comfortable accompanying them, so it also encouraged social segregation in the work place. Maybe…
