These kind of men only 'like' women when the women agree with them 100% about everything. But as soon as we have a different opinion about anything? Then we're sluts, whores, bitches and any other nasty name they can think of. Because, god forbid, we should have our own opinions and use our brains to form those…

What would validating your lived experience mean? Should we ask you to educate us about the pain and suffering experienced by gamers who eat too many Taco Bells in one sitting??

Actually, there is dynamically MORE disparity in terms of mature and informed consent between a 17 year old and a 24 year old than there is between a 24 year old and a 35 year old. This debate always emerges on Jez every time there's an article like this. The reality is that the human brain has not finished fully…

That is a weird and unfounded assumption. It is illegal for a teacher to sleep with their student in Texas, so he would be a sex offender anyway, regardless of the age of consent (which again, is not 18 like you assumed). Trying to shoehorn a "why can't we fuck teenagers" angle into this story is neither necessary…

(if this was actually the point you were making and we are in agreement, i apologize for misreading!)

So what if he did love it? It's still fucked up and should be a crime. If you give teenagers alcohol and cigarettes they'll love that, too, but it's still a crime.

She's that teacher that goes back into a school setting and falls back into her own school experience, needing validation from the kids, needing to be the cool teacher and bowing to student pressure that same way kids now to peer pressure. At every school there's that one teacher that forgets that just because they…

So you do not believe men ever come across as entitled, yet you write a comment that is seventeen paragraphs long about how women are wrong to share their experiences in a forum aimed at women, because you personally have not encountered the same experiences?

I see you have never had the experience of a stranger coming up to you to ask you out while you are doing your shopping, refuse to leave you alone after you politely say no, force you to take an alternate route home so you can make sure they aren't following you, and having them show up at your office the next day look…

Brava!

Hey guess what, we know what the fuck happens when a boy gets rejected because we've all been there. We've had men call us bitches for not responding to catcalls. We've had men follow us down the street and through parking lots because we won't talk to them. We've had men grope us against our will. Women know what…

No. I'm talking about the reality that you can't get birth control at the 7/11.

Dear Joan,

Born in Garoua, North Cameroon.

Most people don't think aboutthe health consequences of teen pregnancy because there's a popular myth that the younger a woman is the more fertile she is. WHO released a study in 2012 (or so) on the high maternal mortality rates teenagers giving birth face as wellas the higher rates of complications and permanent…

What the fuck? Do you realize it's 2014 now and many women pay their own way? Are you 82?

The frequency of women walking up to men and, randomly and without context, telling them to pay for things is truly one of the greatest cultural problems of our time.

the secret is: we don't really want you to. menfolk invented and perpetrate that as a way of demonstrating power over each other and over women. stop doing it and it won't be missed by anyone except those who have also bought into the patriarchal bullshit, and you don't want them anyhow.

And who exactly are you referring to when you say "these people"? Nevermind, I know who you're talking about.

Also, there are absolutely people who are homeless who live out of their car. It may be the only asset of any value they own free and clear.

Also, as the story makes clear, he was accusing her of implying that he wasn't ordering ENOUGH, not that he was ordering morbidly-obese person quantities. I'm honestly pretty sure you didn't finish reading that one.
