Dorland inspired a different reaction, and I have never known why. Here was someone who was driven and passionate about many of the same things as me (writing, social justice, reproductive rights) but whose approach to those subjects made me feel insecure in ways I still find hard to pinpoint. We were friendly at…

I guess someone’s been watching Star Trek Voyager re-runs

Actually, it hasn’t except for a dropped ball in turbulence, because I always fly in a window seat and use wooden circular needles, to reduce the clicking AND keep my arms and elbows in my own damn seat.

If you recline more than half way during daylight hours you are a monster. I actually pack so I can put my hand luggage under the seat in front of me to keep it handy (I knit during long flights), and if someone reclines all the way I can’t get to my stuff without banging the seat.

Someone’s tried it!

Cleansing milks have been a thing in K-beauty for like a decade? 

I know! I am so lucky!

But it’s still funny when I get a string of messages like this:

Not as heinous as some of the others, but the guy I’m seeing has English as his third language, so sometimes he sends me really goofy things that have very sexy sentiments behind them, but still make me laugh.

A sample:

 “you have so many beautiful features, looking at your photo one that I can’t stop looking at is…

Pink has been saving their asses since 2005, at least.

God, yes — I’m a 5th generation NYC Jew, my grandmother and grandfather grew up speaking Yiddish on the Lower East Side and I could see SO MUCH of my family and my culture in that show; I don’t know of any show that gave me that sense of recognition since I used to watch The Nanny with my mom. 

Like you said, It’s a…

I read a lot from both sides to keep myself informed on the debate, and what I can say is this: the average poster from r/gendercritical (for example) would be fine with you. Most of them are afraid of exactly the people you mention:
