But she didn’t say it. The interviewer said it, then assumed that she agreed based on a smile.

Your sexuality isn’t defined by who you happen to be dating, though. I’m currently involved with a man, but that doesn’t make me any less bisexual.

I think you do have a point. Obviously we know very little for certain about sexuality. But I think, while we may be able to acknowledge that these things do happen sometimes, it’s not really fair to make the assumption that anyone’s bisexuality is a “phase.” That’s what the interviewer did, and that, I think we can…

The funny (and by “funny” I really mean “depressing”) part about being bisexual is that, whether the person judging you is gay or straight themselves, they always assume you just like dick and will go back to it eventually. This goes for bisexual people regardless of gender. Bisexual women are assumed straight and…

Sadly, even liberal men who believe themselves to be lovers of “strong women” can still fall into the same old misogynistic bullshit. The most annoying part about these kinds of men is that they think that, since they’re liberal, there’s no possible way they could ever do anything misogynistic, so telling them become…

I’m not assuming. I’m close-reading the text. That means looking at the specific language being used and reading into the implications of it. Look it up. It’s a widely-accepted critical technique. I’m using textual evidence, such as the specific things he said about her appearance, to build my argument.

It’s a hard truth, regardless of your gender, that the only common denominator in all of one person’s failed relationships is them. The OP is specifically asking for things he can do. He’s not asking for things other people should be doing at all.

Just happened upon this. Remember when you said people on this site tell men who are having trouble dating to fix their appearence? Have you noticed the other replies in this thread? They say exactly the opposite. Notice how kind and supportive they are, while still getting to the hard truth that it’s impossible to…

That’s not what he describes. Slovenly implies that the person is dirty and/or their dress is unkempt. He says he thinks her hairstyle is out of date (some people like more classic hairstyles, some like more modern ones, so his opinion wouldn’t be valid for every man who saw her). He says he doesn’t like her clothes…

I’m assuming he didn’t look at anything else because the only assumption he ever came to was that she didn’t dress the way he liked. If he had even tried to delve deeper, he would have found other things of note because, as we have discussed, not all men are attracted to the same things in a woman. There are plenty of…

Did you actually read what I wrote? Or did you just reply and say exactly the same things over and over again?

Just because, according to him, the only thing “wrong” was her appearance doesn’t mean he wasn’t blinded by gendered assumptions about how women “should” look. It’s entirely possible that she had anxiety issues when going on dates that made her cold and aloof, or made her want to move too quickly. Maybe she had…

I think another reason his full name might have been used here is that the “Storm” part (apart from being delightfully white-trashy) could be a reference to Stormfront, a white supremacist website.

“beggars can afford homes from the money people give them” Citation needed.

Yeah, because that $8 goes directly in their pocket. Have you ever worked anywhere in your life before? The people who clean up after you make minimum wage. The only people getting rich are the corporations that own the movie theaters and the candy companies. You might think you’re sticking it to the man by leaving…

Right? It’s so disappointing. Especially since even certain parts of the LGBT community think it’s “just a phase” or that bi people somehow have “straight passing privilege” because they’re being heteronormative and assuming someone is straight based on who they happen to be dating.

Unf, I love her. I’m so extremely attracted to her. I get weak in the knees when she gets going and really smacks down the idiots.

Interestingly, Y chromosomes aren’t necessary to make one biologically male. Lots of people are born with all kinds of chromosome configurations that aren’t covered in your high school biology class. Also, we have no idea what chromosomes she has because 1) we’d need a DNA analysis to even being to understand that and…

What we know about “biological sex” has been changing fairly rapidly lately. I’d recommend reading up on the more recent studies on the subject. One really fascinating one deals with the idea of the “phantom limb”syndrome, wherein an amputee may still feel that their amputated limb is attached to their body. In…

That’s fair. Personally, I really liked watching her overcome her anxiety and shyness (hit close to home as so much of Drag Race does) and I also thought it was brave of her to be so candid about her history of childhood abuse. I was also pretty fascinated by the way that Pearl evolved from concept art (that got Pearl…
