Broadly speaking (and this isn't intended to be comprehensive), there are three aspects to your gender:
If one of my tormentors found me on Facebook and apologized, I am pretty sure my reaction would be to say: "That's nice for you. Never come near me ever again.", and then go ahead and re-live all the awful things they said to me back then. It's been over 10 years and no one is the same person they were. The person…
Perhaps because in many Christian mythos, forgiveness is a right, not a privilege - If you meet the correct criteria for it (repentance, faith). Or rather, there are discrete actions you can take to be forgiven, regardless of the feelings of the people involved or the magnitude of the harm. Even if you don't really…
This is pretty true. I remember once when I was a teenager, I got into a staring contest with a stranger at school, and the whole experience of staring straight into his eyes while attempting to hold a conversation (mostly staring contest trash talk) was extremely unsettling because it was waaaay too intimate.
I had the great privilege of visiting a wolf sanctuary this summer, where they explained that wolf packs are actually families - at the sanctuary the 'Alphas' of the pack were actually the two owners, who lived on site. They also really, really emphasized that wild wolves are generally afraid of people and will…
There is a food truck in my city that put french fries in my shwarma. I will never forgive them for this betrayal. I didn't even get a chance to tell them to not put the damn things in because who the fuck puts french fries in a shwarma? Terrible, terrible, mushy, straight from a frozen grocery store bag, secret…
*desire to re-read Good Omens increasing*
I'd be down with that scenario actually. But I think the question is unfairly rigged in one direction in the case of us Lactose -intolerants
I don't think that's silly at all. I listen to CBC radio all the time, and Q. It really can be intimate and emotional - I've had radio programs bring me to tears.
I'd be curious to see how recent the shift to more gendered marketing has been, because I was a small girl in the 90s and my brother and I built lego things all day long... all though I don't remember the original source of the lego (I think we got a big bin at a garage sale) so I don't know if it was intended for my…
We had a golden growing up and nothing was safe from her. Her particular favourites were the rubber wheels off of legos, Crayons, and pieces of tin foil that still had meat juices on them.
Uh, apparently this is supposed to mean "Follow us" but that is definitely not what I read when I saw it.
My guy came from a much less severe hoarder household ( They only had 13 cats before most were surrendered to the humane society. Considering he hadn't been neutered, I feel like that 13 number wouldn't have lasted too long if the cats hadn't been surrendered). He's perfectly well mannered, unless you try and pick him…
Oh god, I'm going to watch this aren't I.
I believe she only had two or three lines of dialogue in the whole movie. People can be outraged all they like that she didn't get paid megabucks, but I highly doubt that, say, Elsa's animators got a share of the profits of the film or toy sales either, and they did way more than a day's work on the film.
Yeah. I remember my reaction was basically "What the Shit? I liked that show." and then growing dismay as the depths of his asshole behaviour started to come to light. I wasn't upset because I thought he'd been falsely accused, but more because I was pretty sure there had to be some truth to it, because the CBC…
