Big, mean feminists!
It's hard to go into a space where you're no longer afforded (as much) gender privilege, isn't it.

You said that you'd opened up for a moment in your comment, but I just mocked you.
When you say things like 'why am I responsible for their orgasm? I'm already responsible for my own' - Pro tip: selfishness in the sack is a guaranteed girlbone killer. Visit a page largely frequented by women and say this, and you're…
You know, while I'm truly sorry for any pain you might be in,you really can't have it both ways.
The idea that women are there to soothe your ego, heal your wounds, and generally watch for your feelings, while you get to act according to however your proclivities move you - is highly misguided. I am not your…
Where does pain and misery come into this? If you're having a rough time of it right now, I'm sorry. I don't wish that upon anyone.
Oh my gosh. Mucho macho. Oo la la! Etc.
Paladin, meet Atlas. Atlas, like you, is a man carrying a heavy burden.
His is the world. Yours, it seems, is the clitoris.
You know how, when you're eating a big, hot juicy hamburger with all the fixings, you have to be careful not to let the bun get soggy and fall apart, and over time you work out how to eat it before that happens, while maximizing your enjoyment?
Girls are, like, way more worth it than hamburgers.
Clits are more special…
You made me laugh out loud. <3
Thank you.
My last boyfriend, a 6 year ltr, told me on the first date that he was an 'intellectual'. I laughed out loud, thinking it could only have been said in self-parody. Who comes out and says that? But no. Not joking.
He read research, non-fiction, books with ideas in them. But kept his old time, good-ole-boy, douchefrat…
The mainstream will always reward people from a minority group who speak, and affirm, as 'insiders', the criticism-often verging on hate- the mainstream has for that group.
If anyone would like me to be an anti-feminist, anti-woman, anti-jew mouthpiece, I'll be over here. I take everything but AmEx.
Dang.
I am going to have to reclassify my 'tasteless porn'.
There's almost a Prince vibe to this photo. I find myself unwillingly attracted.
You are not reading my comments, if you somehow think I implied in any way that street harassment is a compliment.
So it's completely impossible?
If you don't understand my experience, make an effort before labeling me. Don't shout me down. We all have different things we've been through. She told us where she's coming from. I shared that I'm coming from a different place.
To reiterate - i didn't say her experience was an enviable…
Wait...my typing those words has transformed me into a man? Damn, girl. You been reading too much Harry Potter. *That's not how it works.*
I didn't say it was acceptable. I didn't say you were being wooed, all proper like. I didn't say you weren't being harassed. Generally speaking, though, getting the wrong kind of…
Yes, those men are hitting on her. That's why they're talking to her. It just happens to bother her. It may not be flattering, as it's not at all about who she is as a human being, and what she's owed (the ability to walk down the street without being harassed). From how she describes it, it's definitely not fun.
But…
When I was 16 and dorktastic, my homeroom teacher told me I really should smile more. And then she compared me to Holden Caulfield, which perplexed me. All sorts of assumptions.
Her point was that people may get the wrong idea. That if I looked sort of warm and welcoming, and were maybe more outgoing, I could make…
They're taking your supposed downcast state as an excuse to talk to you. Do you think they'd be so overly 'concerned' if you weren't pretty? I'd prefer this sort of intrusion to walking around feeling invisible. I know...we all have our own things we carry, but. Privilege.
How about the way Kanye refers to women as bitches in his songs? Are we supposed to be totally over that?
There are far more women than people with Parkinsons, even if we're not all agreed that 'bitch' is offensive. Why does he get a pass for this?
I just want to say that, with the text over his forehead and chin, the fellow in the video looks like a 5:00 shadow-version of Phil Collins.
I guess he has more than one thing to regret.
