Into using roleplay and D/s to take out our kinks on said women.

At least at 19 you have the excuse of thinking “hey, this sounds like fun.”

Maybe Goethe is in here for The Sorrows of Young Werther. I remember in a college class about Romantic 19th century literature reading that book and complaining to the professor in a class mostly female that Werther was an annoying, self-pitying narcissist. (I’m a guy.)

Plus, you know what would constitute a bookshelf red flag that would make me not want to go on another date with somebody? Those blank white book covers some people cover whole shelves of books with to make them look more uniform or “clean” or whatever. I’m making excuses to get out of there as quickly as possible.

this. It just means you are intellectually curious. Judging someone for the books on their shelf is stupid unless it’s very obvious they are all one sort of thing. Then, judge away!

I think it depends on the reaction to Fight Club. There are those who see it as a satire of toxic masculinity, which is a sensible point of view. Then you have the ones that go out and start Fight Clubs and start to spout very Tyler Durdenesque (rightwing MRA oriented) stuff on Facebook and think they’re being…

Also, it’s positively asinine to think a broad reader agrees with everything on the shelf.

I never get rid of books, so all of my youthful literary missteps are on full display.

Username checks out.

Also, the idea that one’s library has that much to say about you really tends to apply to those with a one-shelf library. True bibliophiles (or, you know, flat-out book-hoarders, which I won’t deny kind of being), will have stuff they’ve well outgrown, to-read sections that they’re ages from getting through, and full…

If I go to someone’s apartment and they have a copy of “Fathers and Sons” on their bookshelf, I’m going to be slightly impressed. Not many Americans read Turgenev anymore who aren’t, like, Russian lit majors.

“Many were offended”

2.) Lack of books.
3.) Suspiciously and exclusively similar to a Google search for “list of classic books” or things you might have to buy for a basic lit survey course.
4.) Nearly everything comes from the same basic philosophical perspective. Even if you broadly agree with it.

“Infinite Jest”? But it’s only 1,079 pages! This is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the movie The Neverending Movie.

ooooh.

You’re experiencing a weird Ellen DeGeneres ouroboros:

I guess you should ask PreparationHeche.

More to the point, few such victims end up with a platform like McGowen has. The ones who never made it in LA aren’t in a good position to fight back without amplification, and these sorts of accusations still aren’t taken seriously enough.

Twitter and other online communities do have the power to ruin lives, particularly when the target is an average person who doesn’t have the ability to defend/isolate themselves from the doxxing or harassment. In the case of celebrities getting called out for shitty behaviour, I have a harder time laying the…

If history suggests anything, anyone who is “destroyed” or “canceled” or anything will be back and working in a few years.
