Yes, but at this photo shoot there was an energy everyone was giving off that it was okay to expect these actions. Poor choice of words, but on point.

But your entire casual chain was built on the fact that actions rolled into one another. If you believe that then surely you must also see that your actions may not be to freeze up or kill the mood when things start leaning toward the uncomfortable. Instead, you may just feel inside "I'm unsure if I want this"— you…
I agree with you and beets, but I also see some trouble.
Communication has to happen at some point in your casual chain. The other individual involved has to have some indication of where the lines are with you, so if they cross that line they know they have, and if they continue then they will be held accountable.

Well, I'm glad you've found some peace, but acting like every situation of rape is the same is a problem. If you create this talismenic experience where speech has been completely chilled then what happens when a woman is confronted with a situation that doesn't fit that profile? We give her no coping mechanism, no…
Bleh, "pretentious," "faux-artistic", "faux-intellectual" is just perspective driven supremacy talk (aka what Franco is doing). Just say you don't like the guy.
I wanted to say, it's really interesting how similar all of this is shaking down compared with critical race theory.
Currently, as with critical race theory, a lot of people are upset by others claiming the barriers that once stood have largely eroded. Most of those quotes above exhibit some wild belief in a "color…
Nah sorry, I must have misread the comments out of order. They seemed to flow from the above comments the other day. Now, not there.
Well if this is about #NotAllMen, which is what I gleaned it is about from the context of the above comments. I don't think its necessarily "the same boring tripe" per se and it's important to see why there could be a legitimate problem with it.
#NotAllMen was a very poorly structured meme because it possessed similar…
I don't think it is okay. I think calling young men "boys" is adding or supplying the fuel to an already disenfranchised group. But specifically about what you just said, our laws already aim to prevent a lot of it—rape law, criminal law, and tort. These are some of the most important victories for women's lib and…
Of course it is a narrative. However, it is a narrative that surrounds young men completely before they can understand it. The thing is, as a young man, you want the lie. You want to be the guy that has rockstar status. At college, it is reinforced strongest by the avid party culture and make-yourself ethos.
For the…
A lot of these individuals have likely been treated inferior to "men" their entire teen and young-adult lives. Calling them "boys," even for good reason, is just another way of emasculation. I don't think punches should be pulled, but I do feel recently a lot of people around feminism are calling men "boys" or…
Please don't call them boys. That just perpetuates the problem.
It's probably a lot. A lot probably on the site and a lot probably outside. Women need to understand this is about masculinity. The conversations you are seeing are in-part a by product of them being put through a very hard-to-see male world most women would find horrifying. These men are very hyperbolic, but the male…
