ughhh I can't stand spoiled misbehaved brats like her! And she has the gall to make it out like she's the victim! I have said that line to my mother about the drugs and arrests the difference is IT'S TRUE in my situation. It's too bad my parents couldn't have this unpleasant shit as a child then they'd appreciate the…

In all honesty sometimes leaving is the best thing a person can do for their children. There's this whole romanticized idea of how a nuclear family is best and healthiest for a child. Well let me tell you sometimes it is the fucking worst option! When two people just are not compatible or one or both are abusive. I'd…

Pulling out is not a viable form of birth control. That is a misinformed perspective people have that are unaware of pre-cum in which the man does not have an orgasm but some sperm is ejaculated during the intercourse sometimes resulting in pregnancy.

Wrong it does NOT take "just" time and effort it takes resources and capital as well. Why do you think all these white men are in power are they really better genetically or did they come from rich families that could send them to private schools, get them tutors if they were struggling, provide them connections and…

So feeling pretty is just a female trait? And why is it an important trait? Shouldn't feeling smart, funny, assertive, etc. be great feelings for women too? What do you think the male equivalent for feeling pretty would be?
There just seems to be too much emphasis on looks and feeling pretty for females. Perhaps it is…

Individual comfort is subjective and does not increase or decrease one's likelihood of being a victim of a crime. How safe one feels has no bearing on whether you will be victimized or not. Perhaps you should look at the literature and criminal statistics and learn to do and analyze correlations of statistics. As…

So if a guy said he knows exactly how you feel or he has the exact same experiences, when he clearly doesn't (for whatever reasons), you would not be offput by that implication? Well then if that's the case this is where empathy or trying to understand can take someone a long way IMO.

I would not say no discussion is tolerated. But the best way I can make it make sense is if a guy came onto a comments sections where women were talking about some personal issue that effects them. Then a male commentor redirected it to himself like oh you ladies think you have it bad? I have it worse! Or if he said…

Well I spoke of North America because the article was speaking of this event occuring in New York. The authoritarian comment was in reference to your very first reply to the OP of this thread. Instead of responding with something like I see and listening you seemed to dismiss what she/he wrote and make it about you or…

This issue is distinct primarily because of its socio-historical-political background. To understand it you need to understand the society, politics and history behind the issue both in the past and present. Trying to compare experiences of white women in Europe and women of colour in North America is like comparing…

what's with the gif? stereotypical imagery much?

There's a sociohistorical context to it since it has an element of race relations. I mean how often do black women go up to other black female strangers and ask to touch their hair or just do it without permission? I'd bet not alot. Yet other people from races feel the drive to do so. Whereas your situation it may…

Am I the only one who has read countless asshat comments online so wasn't as scarred and thrown back by all this? — Except maybe for the you're jealous of being raped one: that was a level of ignorant, hateful, douchebaggery I have not encountered yet. o_o
I usually report as spam or thumbs down such comments hoping…

ooh I misinterpreted it as a personal issue not as a general issue you were bringing up. Well if I ever come across any I will give them the same advice I gave you :) Coincidentally my partner is 24 as well (soon to be 25 in October).

Don't be swayed despite what those magazines or evo-psychologists would have people believe not all men (or women) are the same. So there are young guys out there that don't give a fuck— my partner doesn't give a fuck. Not everyone follows supposed trends so don't let what magazines and people from their limited…

Do you seriously not see the absurdity or irony of saying everyone else is at fault and I'm the only normal one or more to your point everyone is full moron mode and you're not?! I mean think about it logically if somebody else had said something so absurd not you. Here let me help: a feminist who's prejudiced saying…

This poster seems to be lacking in empathy and seems confused, unable to formulate or communicate a coherent argument and has some symptoms of sociopathy. He does seem to be speaking from a bubble; a place of sheltered privilege. (I strongly feel like he's from a certain demographic).

Interestingly enough when they did an International study about the healthiest (read slimmest) cultures around Polish and Irish were one of the 20 or so. Though they were native born and raised in the respective countries. I guess the diet in North America must be fucking with some people's weights too— all those…

I have been told it's because mainstream feminism ignores or does not address the issues of women of colour adequately or at all. There's this thing of how white middle class feminists want women of colour's help yet once they reap the rewards of the help women of colour do not reap the rewards. It's like they are…

Gang culture would be a subculture the researchers identified. If someone has a preconceived notion that only people of colour are involved in gangs and there are no white people in gangs ever then that's on them. Unless they specifically said something like visible minority gang members than yea it'd be racist.
