Can we just make campus rape a criminal matter like it is everywhere else? Of course that means we need to improve criminal rape investigation procedures, but that still seems better than allowing school entities with a direct conflict of interest (i.e. pressing reason$ NOT to admit sexual assaults happen among their…

It's not about conception though, it's about predispositions you're setting your baby up with. What epigenetic markings do is essentially flag parts of the genome that are already there. All babies have the genetic components that make up a biological anxiety response; if the mother is anxious during…

right? I think if you want to make a connection online you really can. Mr. Rambler and I met on chemistry.com and we emailed non stop for weeks before talking on the phone for another 2 and then met. So if you want to have deep convos (not that ours were that deep, mostly making cheesy jokes and getting a kick out of…

I went out with a guy like that once and he told me "You're funny but you should stop that since men are funnier and have a sharper wit." I left shortly after that.

what about soccer

Right? He's not looking for a "human" connection because he clearly doesn't consider women human (as in, diverse and not consumed with wanting to be with him in particular) - he's looking for a very specific connection that was promised to him through movies, music, and culture at large.

He reminds me of a guy I worked with who looooved to go to bars and "prove" how dumb and shallow every woman was. He was the do priest, dullest and most boring person I ever met.

His conclusions are definitely dumb. That last dialogue in particular shows that had they both been real people, they could have made a real connection. Maybe not a romantic connection, but a very human one. She was right there trying to make him feel better and had he then (been a real person and) expressed why he…

This comes across less like some deep and meaningful social experiment and more like a bitter dude trying to punish women for not respecting his special snowflakeness. 'Oh, you failed to notice what a bright and shining and unique soul I am in a sea of less fascinating men? Let me waste your time and pretend that it…

Came here to make that exact point — and found that you'd beat me to it. It's like they say — meet one asshole in a day, sucks that you ran into an asshole. Meet two assholes in a day, bad luck. If everybody you meet is an asshole? You might be the problem.

Ok, but "what about soccer" made me lol though. I'm seriously thinking of using this at the end of any argument or tense conversation I have in the future.

"Man uses robot on dating site. Women confused." Also, let us not forget there are legit guys on dating websites that are more incoherent than that.

Not re-elect him? Replace him with someone more hard-line? (like the previous guy)

True. Men only get asked about it because they've spoken out about it, women are asked about it by default. Usually right after being asked what exercise regimen they used to get in shape for a role.

There are quite a lot of young women as well - Evan Rachel Wood, Zooey Deschanel, Olivia Wilde, Ellen Page. It's just that actresses get asked the question a lot, and the ones who are anti-feminist or just badly informed get quoted. I don't think actors get asked the question unless the interviewer knows that the…

Unfortunately, whenever a writer doesn't include a nod to "OK, this might not be 100% altruistic" in situations like this, there's always some genius jumping up and down screaming "it's just a publicity stunt! They just want to ride the tails of tragedy".

Men get celebrated for saying they're feminists, while women get vilified for it. Quite a few of these young actresses aren't willing to stick their necks out yet.

This brings up an important aspect of physical abuse that we don't often talk about: that for many women, an attack that affects their appearance is also effectively an attack on their livelihood.

There are probably going to be a lot of cosmetic surgery costs that wouldn't be covered under most insurance, and the dental costs alone are probably going to be huge (I don't know about you, but I've never seen an affordable dental plan that covers much beyond routine visits).

Look yo, like this movie or hate this movie, whatever. But can we please stop acting like having money makes you immune to boredom or loneliness or any other type of problems? It's not true, and it's harmful.
