This. More playdates with girls. Then they can see that girls are badass - which makes (traditionally) girly things badass too!!

Yes, no, kind of.

I think you’re right about self defense. I should try to encourage the women I know to do that.. I guess men too. The better we (the people trying not to be assholes) can collectively protect ourselves, the more confident we can be. More men should stand up against asshole behavior though...

Nice to see a positive note. Something like that might be worth reading to offset the generally depressing news, I think we sometimes forget that we need something to balance out the doom and gloom, or our opinions start to be come controlled by it.

I’m male. I agree with everything you say. Feel sad being a member of the human race most days now. I’m terrified to let my Fiancee go out with her girlfriends just because the world seems to be full of horrible people.

All to do with timing and which direction people typically fly on specific days (one way on Friday night, other way Sunday night for…

If you ask me Numerology is a wolly discipline. Now Ancient Runes, that’s a fascinating subject!

This women is obsessed with the color of light. I was production managing a concert of hers about 8 years ago and saw her yelling at the poor Lighting Designer about the orange backlight that was spilling onto her hair!

Best. Typo. Ever!

Amazing piece. More like this please!

Way to much rape, gave up several seasons ago :-(

Sorry, that picture is not GNK Power Droid but an EG-Series Power Droid

OOh I have a fun bit of related info. I was working as a lighting technician on a Mariah show many many years ago and the LD who I was working for got a telling off about a tiny bit of magenta backlight that spilled into her hair in one song.
