So again, that is an ACTUAL strawman, as I just detailed. Why do you insist that people are lying if female, innocent if male— if not because of sexism?

And what other evidence are they supposed to provide you with? A video recording? Do you expect them to record it by knowing in advance that it will happen or simply by recording every moment of their lives just in case you personally need evidence in order to find any woman credible because your opinion on the…

Sample romantic gesture: a guy who is pretty opposed to experimenting with foods knew that I was bored with my limited medical diet, so he found a restaurant that he thought I could eat at and took me there even though it was experimental for him and that made him uncomfortable. He did pay (because I was unemployed)…

Some romantic gestures are inherently coded for gender. What she just pointed out were some romantic gestures that aren't gender coded, and are thus superior to the standard-issue "romantic" gestures that took no effort, originality, thought, or actual romance.

You're projecting. She's not the one with lack of empathy; you are. You don't get to claim "lack of empathy" as a reason that women are disallowed to have opinions.

Wow. Thanks for letting me know that unless you notice something happening near you, you can't believe that it's happening if and only if it was reported by a woman.

If he just leaned back, he could get his chest in that shot. ;)

I was a web developer on ecommerce sites in 1999. Prior to that I worked as a web designer/ISP tech support.

I don't have one but there's nothing wrong with them. Games are fun!

And if the other person's claim is true, that her things were on a seat and she moved them so that the guy in question could sit, then this guy's story isn't just fat shaming and covering for bad behavior— it's also full of lies.

Sigh. And where would that put him to see everything that he claims and hear everything that he claims? Even if he were standing next to those seats, he would have to have been staring at her the entire time and listening in on whispered conversations— while standing.

It doesn't matter. If he were standing near them, he would have had to be staring at them when she elbowed them, watching her get on, watching her get in the seat, watching her the whole time that she was there, and hear a whispered conversation.

It sounds like you think that's a rebuttal, but then where would that put the writer in order to get all of the information that he claims if he is not the guy who did the initial fat shaming?

You certainly cared enough to read it and comment. So I say the same to you: people on the internet have opinions every single second of every single day. Thousands of more inane or offensive articles have been written in the time that it took me to write this sentence. Don't pretend that because it involves your…

The only way that he could know all of the information that is detailed in his response is if the response was in his own defense. According to his description, there was no row in front of her, action that couldn't be seen from behind her, and whispered conversation that he corrected the text of.

OK, dude, whatever.

WTF are you talking about? There is one dude who works in Silicon Valley and LIVES in SoCal who has taken up the reigns on SoCal's tradition of trying to secede. This time, instead of designating LA as part of NorCal and areas north of LA as part of SoCal, he decided on 6 states, but the previous attempts— when come…

It's been reported on repeatedly for several years on SFGate, with staff and customers all commenting on it.

Transition montages always make me cry because it's just so obvious that they transitioned from sad to happy. I hadn't seen an ftm transition montage but the sparkle every time he talked to show how deep his voice had gotten... *sniffle*

Well that was ridiculously adorable. The lyrics are anti-ableist too. I'm gonna listen again!
