Here is the thing, with any education comes responsibility for your own knowledge.

Exactly.

This is great! I love this article and you and all that you're doing. 100%

What a great blackmail tool for when he's misbehaving.

I saw this going around tumblr about a specific con that I can't find now. Did anyone actually encounter these scumbags?

Exactly. Childofthekorn might have been goofing around but then there's always obnoxious people like the person who responded to my other comment saying they weren't using the right word. That they're "losers" not "nerds" because...something about being uncool or something...not sure.

It just didn't come across as jest. It seemed out of place and irrelevant so I was confused.

Right, that's terrible...what is saying that your situation isn't exactly what those girls are fighting against?

Pretty sure when you're a high school student who is worried about "nerd discrimination" you're probably an ACTUAL nerd getting discriminated against...or watching actual high school nerds being bullied.

This is great.

Omg why are you always the best. "Jezebeau" !!

Yeah, I have lost the patience for such bullshit I would be so loud about someone doing that. However for the same reasons you listed and the fact that it wasn't her responsibility AT ALL to stop him, the teen should absolutely not be blamed for if she didn't throw a huge fit.

I definitely did this. It wasn't weird. I don't think my family was as open with nudity as a lot of my friends' families but there was showering together with my mom til my sister was big enough to throw in the tub with me.

I think you're exactly right about the MRA thing. It's just really weird when people need to talk about what's going on in their head like it has some big profound meaning to the rest of us.

Yeah, I think I don't know how to have fun now maybe.

Who cares if they appreciate it? They are the ones being offensive.

Yes, this.

I was going to go to the park that day but took a nap instead. If only I'd known!

I think it's really cute how most of this all boils down to just being nice to your partner.

You know, whatever floats your boat as long as you aren't hurting anyone or doing things without their consent.
