Even if you don't step on it, the creep has to come ask for it back. Perfect way to see who's operating it.

I saw and reblogged that not ten minutes ago.

I'd send him for one more day, wearing a kilt. Hey, it's technically for men!

This isn't a response to sexual assault. This is school administration washing their hands of any responsibility by saying, "Hey, these groups aren't affiliated with us!"

The first book is a year old so I'd assume they have it. If not, I'd try your local library, that's where I found a copy to read.

It's really quite good. I read about the author and it seems like she had the idea to write an intersex main character for a while, but made sure she waited until she fully understood what she was writing about. She's also pretty talented with world-building and overall plot, even if the writing is sometimes a little…

Oh man, sorry about the misunderstanding! I must have been really tired, haha.

That's not what I said at all. The idea that bisexuality is the sexual attraction to only one's own gender and the "opposite" gender is outdated because gender is not binary. The definition I put forward from the bisexual community is better because it includes people who don't fit our narrow definition of gender.…

Bit of a tangent, but there's a new-ish Young Adult series out now that has an intersex, bisexual main character (plus a bisexual supporting character!). It's called the Pantomime series, by Laura Lam. The writing isn't incredibly sophisticated, but the story's very unique and it deals with the issues of gender, sex,…

The commonly-held definition of bisexuality now, from the bisexual community, is "being sexually attracted to the same and other genders." This is important because it helps reject the idea of a binary classification of gender.

Right? And that on top of Meera being so close to her own rape. I was watching and I thought, "Oh come on, seriously? Can we just have one episode this season without triggering rape scenes?"

Ugh! Can we get a gif of that quote already? Heartbreakingly true and relevant both in the fictional world and in ours.

I think we've all tried to be that at one point in our lives or another. We're expected to be this kind of paradox, but it's stupid and impossible because we're human (a fact society likes to forget).

I'd been a fan of hers for a while, so I read it right when it came out. It took a few months to get popular, so I guess I have hipster-status on it, haha. It's not the definition of fantastic literature, but it's pretty damn good. What I really liked about it (and what most people didn't like about it) was that it's…

Exactly. I got lucky and was raised by feminist parents, but not everyone grows up with an accurate portrayal of the movement. However, I don't think it's necessarily mean or nitpicky to correct her.

"Men always say that as the defining compliment, don't they? She's a cool girl. Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth…

I agree. And with so many people (specifically privileged ones) that are pining for the "good old days," I thought it was especially poignant

What do you mean by "she needed to illuminate the subject?" It's slavery. Everyone knows what it is. Yes, it was insensitive, much the way that white people have been about slavery since its inception. I agree that it might have worked better in a stand-up situation, but I'm just not really sure what she could have…

What's this? It seems my panties have dropped...

Cute boy with a cat. I simply cannot.
