That photo right under your username just makes me smile.

It's like they really don't hear themselves when they talk.

Yeah, my boss actually likes me. He is just an ignorant toddler.

My boss is more of an entitled Michael Scott idiot than malicious. I'm not sure how yours was.

The worst was when he wanted me to fire my assistant, even though he has been the most helpful assistant ever...because we laughed too much.

This topic always gets the following Gothic Archies song stuck in my head (which I love). Gonna just leave this here:

Depending on who is talking to me, my responses are:

I've had that same problem. I was friendly and polite and just pleasant to all my coworkers. My boss called me in and said I was too sociable.

How is this even legal? Banning a hairstyle that has nothing to do with anything? What?

I seriously thought this was going to be an article about appropriation when I clicked on it. (I clicked from twitter so I don't see what category it's under).

They are apologizing for choosing not to stop it because of their bias...you are rejecting their whole apology based on half their statement.

It can happen. Good Doms know exactly how to ask while still being dominant. I have a male friend I go to with all my questions who could probably write this book.

This is a very good question that I think about a lot but I don't want to discuss it in view of MRAs and just dudes who may get the wrong idea.

I got a "will you kiss...him?"

Christian is like, maybe exciting at first and then every encounter I go "oh wait, what? no....yeah...no"

Maybe they can change him a lil to be an actual sexy dom instead of a weird controlling dude with food issues. I mean, really, the food control stuff is RED FLAG RED FLAG AAAAGH.

Yeah, I can see how some people arguing against this book could come across like that. This is what happens when people think only about what they want for themselves/how they would act in a given situation and can't see (or argue successfully) the big picture. Takes listening on both sides to get discussions like…

Also, does your friend realize that this is encouraging guys she DOESN'T want attention from to force attention on her? This isn't teaching guys to care about what she wants at all.

You know, I used to be terrified of initiating sex...but the guys who got me through that were the ones who didn't push me, respected my slow process, made it no big deal, and who didn't FORCE me to say no.

Sames. :(
