My feminism is sooooo much broader than yours if that's all that feminism is for you.

Is feminism a movement for women's liberation? Because gosh darn it if every time someone accuses feminism of being for women only and that's why it's man-hating/not as good as humanism or egalitarianism, we don't defend it by saying that it's a larger movement for gender equality. Comments pointing out that men's…
Firstly, I don't think feminism should be a women only movement, so I wouldn't call feminism as a whole a "female space." Secondly, I deny that these spaces aren't, at least for me, one in the same. The queer spaces I feel safest in in are overtly feminist ones. I think if trans men take their issues to say... gay…
I think it has a lot to do with your (general 'your', not picking on you) definition of feminism. My definition of feminism is about gender, not women. I like that feminist spaces can be so women-friendly, and women-populated, and I would never want to change that, but also open up spaces for feminist men to talk to…
Why is a male audience treated like a validation? Are men more worthy?
I went to an all ages concert at a club a few years ago. It was mostly teenagers. My friends and I went upstairs to the 21+ area to sit down and watch from the balcony because there was hardly anyone there. A middle aged woman who was chaperoning her son and his friends asked to sit with us. She was so relieved to…
And now you are calling my gender into question? Would you do this to somebody on the street? You think that I have to tow your line to be a woman? You are one seriously damaged piece of work girl. Seek professional help.
It's troubling for some of the people older than that too. We like the event, the energy, the drinking and the people, but not necessarily to the extent of ... yeah I'm going to say it... "bros". We're not on the hunt, but we don't mind looking at attractive people (and to be honest, the interesting outfits of both…
I see your point but it's also about the people you're associating with and how you want to hang out with people, like you, who incorporated new experiences as they aged. I like drugs and casual sex as much as I did ten years ago, but I would rather stay home and do a bunch of crossword puzzles than party with people…
"Oh, we're going to a house party?"
"No. We're going to my house to party. No cover charge. No police. No bartenders. No line. No landlord. No bullshit. And I can punch a damned hole in the wall if I want to. Because mine."
"But. Club ..."
This actually makes me feel better in a weird way.
The best part of this article is all of the people (mostly dudes, I am guessing) acting like being 35 and going to spring break to hook up with drunk nineteen year olds is just some hobby and why are we attacking them??!
This headline needs an update: "College-Aged Girls Love Drinking Our Booze for Free, Barely Tolerate Our Presence."
College girls, here's how you figure out the impostors: "Never have I ever resorted to trickery to cover up a bald spot." Then see who drinks.
Doing some Googling, it looks like Brian Morris has been crusading for pro-circumcision policies since at least his 1999 book and long before the Africa/ HIV study. This guy has a definite agenda, which makes me extremely skeptical about the findings or the way they are stated to make the risk appear much higher.
And yet the rates of HIV infection are much lower in Western Europe than in the U.S. where circumcision rates are much higher.
"half of all uncircumcised males will, over the course of their lifetime, develop some kind of medical issue related to their foreskin"? That's the most bullshit bullshit ever to have been bullshitted.
Can someone who owns a penis speak up?
Please take this information with a grain of salt. Even the American Pediatric Association's official stance is "There's no particularly compelling reason to do this across the board."
They're both rooted in puritanical sexuality (preventing female orgasm, preventing male masturbation). They're both justified by religious woo-woo. They both involve involuntary sexual surgery on children, usually without anesthesia. And, they both have a measurable affect on adult sexual expression. It's great you…
