I know, I know. We go pretty hard around here. And yeah, I get you're trying to be supportive and the intention is great. But you know the saying, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." Like it or not, any advice or critique or comment from a man to a woman about her appearance has thousands of years of…
I'm one of the very few people who liked the ending - of both the book and the movie. I think Flynn is very good at creating characters that are not likeable, but still compelling. I read Sharp Objects in high school and Dark Places sometime during college. Both are very, very good reads if you're into dark, twisted…
Do you have proof that's what they're trained to do? I'm extremely skeptical that a police officer would be trained to shoot first and ask questions later under any circumstances. If I'm wrong and you can show me some kind of training manual where it says to shoot first, I'll concede. But until then, I have a very…
Even if it did, no gun is visible in the video. Even if it was, police are trained to disarm people - not shoot on sight. Jeffery Dahmer, who was armed and attacked police while being apprehended was brought in alive, not shot on sight. So clearly, it is possible to do. Why did they shoot him immediately? Why didn't…
I'd agree with you, but if you actually read the article, they were asked more than just one question, not all under the umbrella of "without consequences." Some questions merely asked "Would you force someone to have sex?" And men responded yes, whether or not there would be consequences. That's the conversation…
That's false equivalence. The men are being asked about a specific crime. If you ask women about a different one, they don't correlate at all. How is that a "similar survey?"
I realize they're not the same thing. But they're still distinct from an actual rifle. You'd think people trusted to carry firearms would be able to tell a toy from a real gun. Also, way to ignore the vast majority of my arguments. Gonna just gloss over the fact that a gun of any kind is not visible in the video?…
Your problem comes from assuming that we think women are morally superior. When really, we're drawing on the ways that women are socialized to not be violent or aggressive, especially not sexually aggressive. Men are. The whole basis of feminist arguments about rape is that men are not predisposed to rape…

I wish i could star this more than once. Perfect response.
He didn't kill the cops because they were cops, he killed them because he was on a killing spree.
The man who killed those two cops tried to kill his girlfriend before he went out to kill them. But you wouldn't acknowledge that because it doesn't fit so nicely with the conclusions you've already drawn.
Not everything has to help. Sometimes people need to vent their frustrations with things that hurt them. Sarcasm and humor are ways to deal with these serious things that we face every day without constantly being angry or impassioned. That may not be as important as the work we do when we are angry or impassioned,…
In regards to pegging: Hell yes you can be a non-feminist and be into that. It's incredibly popular among men who have a very narrow understanding of gender. To them, it's the exception that proves the rule, so to speak. They think of it as a ~*role reversal*~ which necessitates roles to reverse. Something kinky that…
I'm really, genuinely curious about why you believe some gender socialization is "good and healthy." No snark, just curiosity.
I just shook off one of those!
I think about this issue a lot, because I'm really attached to my last name. I'm the only child, and if I don't pass on my last name to any kids I could have, it'll die with me. So like, as much as I understand societal pressure to keep your last name as a man, I'd really struggle with this if the person I wanted to…
Not every single article here needs to be on par with a Martin Luther King Jr. Speech for this to be a valid space. This is not a necessarily feminist website. Nowhere is it described as such. Just because it covers feminist issues doesn't mean it's a solely feminist space. It also covers celebrity gossip, but we…
