I hear you! I keep my hands to myself and if I do want to touch something I do it very obviously and make sure I very obviously put it back. I generally just leave a place if I can avoid giving them my business. Luckily in my general life though I tend to be a regular, well known and liked amongst my neighborhood…

It wasn’t just one store, it was Every store. I have no idea what someone could do except for what I did which was to avoid the shops. I saved money that way but it remains the one trip I never came back with a keepsake from. The place was so dreary none of my pictures even came out that well, stupid Montreal.

Does anyone know where the line to have sex with this man starts?

Everyone I know talks about how much they loved Montreal, but it wasn’t until after I went that I realized everyone who told me that was white. I got followed in every store we went to and ended up not buying anything anywhere (because I stole it all, haha jk) because of how uncomfortably obvious it was I was being…

Maybe don’t let this get out, I can see climate change deniers claiming the ocean levels are rising due to the water displacement of the rebounding whale population.

Also my grandparents were both teachers and I know they too, even back then, would occasionally pick up second jobs to get by.

Yes, about 10 years ago I worked a Sunday brunch shift and 5 of my co-workers were teachers.

Maybe the only option they'll have for rebellion is to become feminists!?!

I read somewhere that the hormonal cycle women go through every month are actually experienced on the daily by men, reason being they produce sperm every day versus women’s monthly production of eggs. It was saying that because men experience that hormonal cycle daily it is less noticeable than the drawn out process…

For the record I am mostly straight but would with no hesitation get naked with Bette Midler over Drumpf any and every time.

I used to know some guys that worked in a Very Fine juice factory and swore they would sometimes pee in the juice, or people they worked with did, or something to the effect that it happened on the regular. I never bought that brand juice again so I have no idea if the company is even still in business. I do tend to…

I had a formula to appease myself. I would take the number of people and divide that by the number of years I’d been sexually active. (In the past tense because at some point in older age I stopped needing to appease myself about my number.) I figured between active and dry spells things would even out. I think I felt…

I wasn't even thinking about translations in reporting, if the French have masculine and feminine forms for "victim" than both versions should be included in my opinion. Domestic violence knows no gender, even despite the fact that one gender does seem to bear the brunt of it.

I was curious about that “female” moniker too. Shouldn't it just be victims of domestic violence? Laws should not apply to one gender and not another. I will rack my brain for instances where laws should concern just one sex, but really can't think of any off the top of my head. Though I realize there are many laws…

Police officers too? Who pays for their defense lawyers when they mess up? (Sincere question, I don't know.)

That’s what I was thinking, her male colleagues were more attentive towards the waitress than herself so in typical female misogyny she misdirected her "displeasure" with her evening towards the server.

To say the least!

“Sorry” is not a complaint, it’s an apology. Why would one apologize to the person they claim was not up to par? My guess is her male colleagues were grossly oogling the server and ignoring her so she misdirected her “displeasure.” (Another example of how important it is to focus on not judging women, it should be an…

I watched the beginning several times (and initially without having read this comment), and nothing looked like any part of a vulva to me. I tried really hard and paused it in a few places too. But of course it is not unheard of, and I wouldn't rule your observation out.

Divide and conquer is how the misogynists win. I truly believe us women need to check ourselves when we find ourselves judging or competing with "our team."
