Ok, Thank you. Will read again.

I don't know why Jezebel is covering research from Norway so naïvely. Norway is very different from the US when it comes to women's rights, both concerning equality and political values. In many ways Norway is superior. But I have been ever so disappointed with Jezebel because they never covered the story of how the…

Which person? Anyway, Norway cannot be considered high on the ladder of equality when just a year ago the government considered letting doctors reject women asking for an abortion.

It is impossible to compare Norway to the US. The general values are completely different and complex. The problems are vastly different when it comes to feminism and gender equality. So these kind of studies are worthless if you look outside where they have taken place. Take dating for example — In Norway we only use…

You're brave for coming back and checking the replies. Reading the comments from your comment left me feeling very conflicted and made me reflect a lot on what understanding and empathy really are. I know a lot of people are not exactly showing empathy towards you here. I don't know what is right from wrong, but your…

Agreed, this is something people have not commented much on but the writing is really good, especially the post on her website.

I had problems with that argument too. Obviously, I don't know Moore and I acknowledge that losing your parent is painful no matter what age, but there is a small mercy to be allowed to have a mother into adulthood.

Also, the power of the dick is fresh and new? We think it will last forever, but experience eventually teaches us that a dick is just a dick.. I don't think we ever become fully immune though.

My mum talks about this phenomenon as well. She's 75, catholic and would never use that word but she still manages to get the point across and how she was affected by it in her twenties.

I don't mind accidental touching at all, but a constant intrusion of my area, the seat I have chosen, feels unnecessary and it bothers me because it is their comfort over mine.

Why are you bringing up time? This is an article about the spreading of legs — which men do. And why are you angry at people who don't like other people's legs touching theirs? If it really is impossible to keep your legs shut wouldn't it be more constructive to encourage airlines and other transportation companies to…

I think the way people behave on public transportation is such a good indication of their character. You did the right thing!

Keep spreading if you need to! If someone asks, just explain. Or let them know in advance. One thing I hate about public transportation is that people make assumptions based on appearance. People will get up for an old woman who might not want to sit, while people with invisible diseases will get the side-eye if…

You know what? I was thinking in similar lines the other day. What if we all had a little bubble we could keep around us in public that no one else could enter? But then I realized it would probably piss some people off even more and ways would be found to destroy those bubbles :(

Once when I was taking the train I sat facing an older man and a younger woman. The man was spreading like I've never seen a man spread before. The woman was sitting normally next to him, although I noticed his hips were uncomfortably close to hers. He kept giving her nasty looks like _she_ was taking up _his_ space.…

I am a woman and I don't normally wear skirts nor shorts. I wear trousers and I still think it is annoying when a man's knee and thigh is taking up (at least) 1/4th of my seat. It makes me feel like I can't relax in my own given space. It feels intrusive. If I gave anyone a nod they would most likely think I was…

How wonderful. How did he manage to get a short-term partner? Is she aware that it will be over after you have given birth?

Yup and a two-year-old doesn't deserve to be on the receiving end of the anger whatever the cause is :(. Grown ups can handle this, but if she is unleashing undeserved anger at a toddler that is sad.

I deeply agree with you. When people are distressed and worried for their life or their wellbeing... well, of course they will want attention - they want people to listen and help. By your last sentence it sounds like you might be working in the health sector? It is such a great things that you recognize this issue.…

That is tough. Does she sometimes come to her senses though? I sometimes did and it helped me understand those around me better and analyze the situation.
