Damn! Even in a softball post I have to read about NC State getting swept.

As in my personal relationship that I go on to discuss. In your rush to get offended, you skipped the reading comprehension step. Hope this helps clarify. I think we all know men can experience domestic abuse.

“I can remember what part of my faith I lost for each year I was in public schools. Seventh grade is when I stopped attending a mosque. Freshman year of high school is when I stopped fasting. Sophomore year is when I gave up on praying altogether. By the time I graduated, saying I was a Muslim felt like a lie—I had…

A courtroom isn’t the place for theoretical arguments like this. The professor has never met the alleged offender so can’t speak to his condition at all. A theoretical argument about feminism or patriarchy doesn’t speak at all to the specific incident at hand and, therefore, has no relevance to the case.

Not only do people just not care and world geography has no relevance in their day to day lives, it’s just relatively useless information to retain at this point. That information is so easily accessible online and elsewhere and you’d never do anything specific with a such vague understanding as just pointing to it on…

I would certainly advise anyone to get far away from a physical abuser fast and any abuser in general. But we can still have empathy for those we don’t interact with or see on a regular basis. Empathy is an individual act.

A museum is infinitely different than a movie and, as you mention, you usually interact with your companions throughout even if in brief intervals. And I never said there were no social aspects to it, but just that it was one of the least social things you could do with someone

I can honestly say I never have gone to a bar with a movie being remotely on my radar anymore. But you’re right, that scenario would require watching the film. I am (lamely) in two books clubs and could create a similar scenario. Although, even if we read together and then discussed the writing, I would consider the…

We agree that getting a drink before is social. That getting food after is social. The movie still doesn’t seem very social. When I’m in DC for work I don’t consider my Metro trip to be a social engagement even though I’m in close proximity with people.

My family members that enjoy going to theaters regularly also go solo usually so you aren’t alone in that. And I cede to you, it’s usually in small groups so technically social. But as you say, it’s usually before or after the movie when people are actually being social. The movie is the period of time when that…

It definitely changes the circumstances, but I don’t know if should eliminate empathy entirely. I am a guy so I never had to deal with violence in my relationship, but my ex had severe depression and anxiety issues. She threatened to kill her self multiple times and once took a gun out of my safe (I had given her…

Sound. Yes. Picture. Yes. Social? No. You are sitting quietly in a dark room. It’s about the least social public activity people regularly engage in.

Oh, come on. Don’t underestimate Hollywood. Any culture/story can appropriated by white people for commercial gains!

Did I really come across as worried about it? I praised and said how I have appreciated the scene myself when going with others. You’re a clown. Stop trying to be outrage police. I volunteer some of my pro bono time to a LGBTQ center legal center. What do you do for people?

Friday was an amazing movie. I still watch it when I see it’s on. All of the fast and furious movies are garbage. Haven’t seen since the second or third installment (whichever had our instagram-Trump Bow Wow in it). I wish he had the money for a great classic instead of a franchise installment, but a great milestone…

Honest question: as a straight guy, I’ve been to drag shows with my godfather (he’s gay) and some women from my work. It was a blast and fun to see how amazing the performers were with their act and ensemble, but I never had any desire to go individually. Ostensibly, some of those guys waiting in line three hours are…

Women still have unnatural beauty standards of course and, I guess, some men’s stuff does too, but for both sexes everything has trended toward casual for far too long. Men don’t do a damn thing with themselves and half the time barely look showered. Most women are out in athleisure wear despite decidedly looking like…

I have to deal with this issue for work so I understand your concerns. I respect that position and many of my colleagues hold it as well, but I think there is a state interest in having their citizens’ with identification. We show ID for everything and stuff much more trivial than voting. I understand concerns about…

And, even then, the caliber of partner a rockstar/athlete/whatever would have would be hot enough that they could still keep up with the guy or probably outpace if they really desired.
