I'll prolly buy one can when it comes back and than instantly regret it. I can't stand Mt. Dew and just regular soda makes me feel like shit now. But I loved Surge as a kid because I thought the label was cool and junk food was a rare and exciting treat.

I remember drinking these as a kid just because I thought the cans were pretty. I was like 6 or 7 and would always ask my dad for change if we were out and saw a vending machine that had them, and he would always give it to me because he had no clue it was more sugary or caffeinated than normal soda. Needless to say…

Yeah, I thought checking accounts were supposed to just be for small amounts of money. If you keep ALL your savings in checking than it's pretty easy for someone to clean you out if you lose your debit card.

Yup. Guys who believe that women only care about money are usually scummy douches whose money is the only positive quality they have. Or they're scummy douches without money, who convince themselves that they can't get a girlfriend because they don't have a 6 figure salary, instead of realizing it's because they have…

And then he'll probably complain that women are all gold-digging whores.

I never meant to deny that sex work is part of that system. The problem is that those things are part of the overall patriarchal system, and that's what my issue with feminists who just want to dismiss all sex work as damaging to women is. Yes, it's all part of that system but the whole system would also still be…

I'm not making excuses for it. You're right, there are a lot of gross things about porn that perpetuate sexism. Nearly all straight porn is made for men and focuses on male-centered sex acts, like blowjobs. Even lesbian porn just shows lesbian sex as something for men to enjoy Most professional straight porn isn't…

I think I was unclear about my point there. I didn't mean that slut-shaming was the biggest part with stripping.

Men have been acting entitled to women's bodies since long before Internet porn. What do you think is the solution? You can't just get rid of porn. Actually working to change attitudes about rape and sex and male entitlement is something that's actually doable. Because while the world is still a pretty shitty, sexist…

I never said porn advances feminism. I just don't see it as a problem.

No, it's slut-shaming when people act like strippers aren't people, and say shit like that they all must be drug addicts who hate themselves.

I don't think sexism is inherent in men, I think it's inherent in our patriarchal society that was set up centuries before strip clubs were ever a thing.

True, but her makeup just looks like normal night out makeup to me, other than that awful pink lipstick.

Then it sounds like they have shitty girlfriends. I can quite confidently say that I've never slapped a guy. Well, technically I have, but that was during sex and he asked me to.

That doesn't follow at all. The NFL is at fault because they are supposed to punish this type of behavior and only did so after public outcry.

That is just sad then, there are plenty of women who don't slap their boyfriends, it's called not being a completely terrible person.

I can't really get mad if a guy hits a woman back with equal force. You have the right to stop someone from attacking you. What grosses me out is that those guys seem to think that ANY level of force is acceptable so long as the woman hit first. Self-defense means just using enough force to get the person to stop, and…

Lulz, that isn't a porn star thing, that's just a makeup thing.

I don't think stripping has to be inherently anti-feminist. I mean, people like to look at hot people. Theoretically it should be fine to go pay to look at beautiful women get naked, so long as everyone is a consenting adult.

pornography was a form of fraud and libel in that it presented lies about women, making the public claim that they wanted to be abused and objectified.
