Duuude, the spirit animal thing is a part of Native American culture. Don't joke about it.

University rules and regs are there for a reason..you know what, forget it.

First of all, if she's got a record of the texts, it's not "allegations"—that's the b.s. word misogynist apologists use to pretend that until someone is proven guilty in a court of law [which can take years], heaven forbid anyone assume they are guilty of the crime they are so obviously guilty of.

I think that rape that is one individual's attempt to "get" the other person to have sex is the exception that proves the rule. The ability to force someone else, or to coerce them, into having sex when that person does not want to, IS a kind of power, is it not? In fact, for males in this patriarchal society, it's…

Violence in patriarchal society goes down the hierarchy, with more emotionally sensitive and/or physically weaker and/or physically slight in stature men coming well before females in the hierarchy. It's not shocking therefore that men have been raped too, and probably always have—however, the women who enter the…

Men are so ashamed because they choose to cling to patriarchal ideals. Men are not passive imbibers of a culture that hates physical weakness and emotional expressiveness in both genders—they choose to hold onto these beliefs, because for the most part these beliefs benefit them. I'm sorry men are getting attacked…

I also think that, just from a practical, objective perspective, if women can survive being gang-raped by more than ten people as a teenager; survive being bullied in hs every day for being queer; survive being largely ignored unless outright harangued for being mentally disabled; survive being sexually harassed by…

WORD—nor should you be.

WORD—the problem is folks on both sides of the 'I want monogamy/polyamory' spectrum are dishonest with themselves hence with their partners [or just with their partners]. Folks not ready to get married settle down for fear of losing their mate if they don't compromise asap; folks who want to get married believe they…

I think that men are told they can be anything, not that they will be rapists—but they are taught that embracing and/or expressing their sexual desires is the same thing as being a rapist, which is a) blatantly not fact 'n b) is I think part of why women 'n men have such difficulty trying to actually start a genuine…

Personally, I care about 2% about men experiencing any of these issues. After thousands of years of systematic and systemic attempts men in the upper echelons of governments across Europe and in the U.S. to silence and to weaken women, I'm pretty sure a few broken noses are nothing worthy of my concern. When 1 in 4…

Oh, 'n also—if there were any halfway decent guys to choose from, ones who had their lives together and were [reasonably, most of the time,] sober, and didn't mess around with other women behind our backs [and/or try to coerce us via the threat to leave us if we didn't oblige him, into 'swinging' or threesomes we…

If he really wanted to change the minds of women who could benefit from his advice, he would have aimed the book at women who genuinely had difficulty sussing out the manipulative men from the trustworthy ones and/or deciphering between her feelings of trust v.s. her feelings of delusional "true wuv." He would have…

I heart you so hard.

I think the point she was trying to make is that if you do these activities believing your method of femininity is the only one that's acceptable, that's a problem; the fact that society tends to agree with you is more of one. However, I entirely agree with lunchcoma—'lady' refers to upperclass women who had the time…

I've been dealing with intestinal issues for years; I have some tips re: helpful foods to strengthen your digestive system and/or coat your stomach so the stomach acid doesn't destroy your stomach lining while you're in too much pain to eat sufficiently.

Eew. Always creepy to field comments from guys who prefer you sick than healthy.

Poor baby. I hate how many men assume that if you're severely underweight, you must be a model—like of course every woman who's that thin must be doing it on purpose, or at least be happy about it, not to mention being happy to be called a model [like that's totally the goal of every woman alive, right?].

I'm sad for you—I also had a very similar experience to yours. My mother could not stop commenting positively on my weight loss when I got down to about a hundred pounds, which for me—as a naturally thick, curvy woman as well—was beyond too skinny. Now that I am somewhat healthy, though still in significant internal…
