I love people that bitch about others wanting "free money" when the only price they would pay for labor if given the choice would be "zero."

if the knowledge of whether other peoples orifices have or don't have a penis inserting in them enrages you, you need to reevaluate your priorities.

You're like someone who argues white privilege doesn't exist for them because they grew up poor.

This x 1000. Employers take men more seriously in salary negotiations.

Most of the time men don't even need to negotiate. The higher pay is just automatically handed to them by virtue of their "higher" sex.

This "men are better at negotiating" bit is shit. From my experience, employers are more willing to negotiate with men.

while i agree that feeling "unsafe" was a total overreaction to the rugby players' actions, i also disagree that it was the most mature or respectful way to approach her. i just feel like discreetly emailing the feminist organization itself about a possible meeting would have been much more appropriate and would have…

It's called email.

I see your point but you missed one thing in your analysis: the song advocates rape; it's not just misogynistic. What if I went to university and sung a song advocating lynching? I would expect to be scary to anyone who's felt threatened by lynching.

Athletic culture is fucking rapey. And misogynistic. And frequently racist. The fact that this song- about raping a dead prostitute- is considered "traditional" should probably tip you off.

No need to do it in the cafeteria. Do it later at the party. Record it, even- post it to social media. So long as you're an athlete in a place that values athletics over people, the administration will cover it up.

Nice try attempting to strip all context from this. Context is fucking key.

Nice gaslighting double-play: invalidate her feelings AND insult her professional/leadership capability. Wow.

Their intention was to intimidate, and you goddamn fucking well know it. We all know these types of guys far too well for your bullshit to actually fly.

So you think the best way for them to approach her was in a group? Hmmm... a group of rapey athletes offering to "talk" with a feminist. Can't imagine why anyone would be suspicious of that....

Rather big wall of text. Read at your own volition.

Jessica Lange is everything.

I just wanted to point out something you may not know. The mental health community is trying to change the language of 'committed suicide' to 'died by suicide'. The change is to help reduce the stigma that people suffering from severe mental illnesses have 'committed' something shameful and are making 'selfish'…

I almost feel silly to admit just how badly this upset me to read. Fuck depression. As bad as mine got at one point, complete with suicidal ideation, I still cannot imagine the hellhole of despair it takes to go through with it.
