    I don't know why that MRA trash troll liked this post. I was saying it was good that Time finally apologized because the author wasn't going to. Now she's even distancing herself from the apology. So either she really doesn't care about feminism even a little bit (without which she wouldn't have that job or an opinion

    Good. Katie Steinmetz, who wrote the article, was on Twitter refusing to budge.

    TBH, in Jezebel's case, I took it as not wanting to give attention to each successive wave of releases. I don't know their motivations though.

    Yes, this. Sometimes the thought process is, "Is saying something worth one of us potentially going to the hospital tonight?"

    I was surprised this wasn't on the list. VLC is my go-to for capping as Photoshop won't open a lot of HD video formats. Thanks for sharing!

    This, yes. Like the bookstore example I used earlier. What in the world does that have to do with street harassment? People (men and women) just keep removing the context to make themselves feel better about what is happening in that video. "I say 'hi!' to people in the suburbs!" This isn't the suburbs it's NYC. "Well

    Yes, THIS. I was just talking about this with a friend last night. I mean, everyone learns this as soon as they learn to talk, right? Why are the men in these comments acting like it's a foreign concept.

    My friend just described this mentality perfectly. She calls it the "starring in my own indie film" mentality. Like boom, you just walk out the door and there's the possibility you're going to randomly run into that quirky love of your life that's going to make everything better. Zero effort. The stars just aligned.

    Ugh yeah, and the people who respond to the the "When IS it ok?" questions actually get on my nerves the most. I expect the bullshit male voices on this, what I don't expect is a woman describing an "OK" scenario that makes my stress level go up just reading about it.

    But, you don't say hello to strangers on the street in a major city with millions of people. Those people are commuting. Men respecting the social contract and normal boundaries - that seems pretty fair to me.

    I had less problems on the street in London than in the US, but my worse experience was also in London. I had a French guy turn around on the escalator in a tube station, follow me onto a train (during rush hour too so he could press up against me, ugh), then follow me as I changed lines onto the next train. I had to

    I like that you mention that NY vs LA thing. First off, I was watching this video and as a woman it's far too familiar. As an Angeleno, though, and was thinking how it's a little different in the sense you're less likely to be walking down the street in the first place. However, this has not stopped multiple people

    Yes. I had one drink at a friends private party before a second one was handed to me by someone I knew. I had maybe a few sips of it, and thankfully not more, then boom was behaving like I was super drunk. I was dropping things. Suddenly I woke up blacked out in the bathroom with no idea how I got there. I assume I

    "We have prisons now filled with guys my age. Sixty-year-old white men in prison who've never harmed anybody, would never touch a child,"

    I would definitely go back to Terminus and kill the cannibals. There were tons of guns and supplies there. The gamer in me knows you should obsessively collect such things. Killing the cannibals would just be a bonus.

    Char wouldn't even have necessarily had to pick it. Korina being in the same room as Char could have been enough to create some drama. So, still producer manipulation methinks.

    I'm with you. Korina's attitude hasn't been great and it's been there since the beginning. Yet, at the same time, I don't think I've ever seen such an underwhelming designer (Char) go to fashion week. She was given chance after chance, and I don't think anything she's made has been even remotely remarkable. It's clear

    If it makes you feel any better, I'm American and I've never heard "ass over tea kettle" until right this very moment.

    I once had a guy I was seeing list off their "checklist" in front of me and some mutual friends. It was super embarrassing because this dream person of his was nothing at all like me (it was also a super passive-aggressive way of letting me know that was going nowhere). When it was my turn to go through my list, I

    Totally agree on the first three. Those are the big ones for me. Fourth would probably be no Republicans (...or is that redundant?). I could have more, but really those end up being more "preferences" than "dealbreakers".
