So maybe I'm cynical about guys always, always, always turning up in these discussions to defend male access to teenagers because they are technically able to consent. This is not an issue about unclear consent, it's about the implications of the age disparity. 18-year-olds *are* fragile compared to most people his…

Every guy on Earth is just waiting for the teen girls to be legal? Because of course no matter how many decades older he is, damn if he isn't gonna get a shot at that? I guess this is the natural thought process of the gender who isn't constantly reminded that their desirability has an expiration date. I don't…

It's not the age difference per se. As with most things, it's about the double standards. However men may be regarded for going after younger women, there is a consensus that this is, if not admirable, totally understandable. (It's to the point where men are actually admired for preferring women their own age)…

That sounds pretty familiar. I made that connection because the knee-jerk stereotyping of vegetarians/vegans is similar to my memory of weird stereotypes of gay people, just in that they both assumed that being open about your lifestyle=militant. Not that they are literally the same people.

Do you ask because you're a non-homophobe who doesn't like vegetarians?

It was a long time ago, but yeah. And I still get stereotyped as judgmental for being vegetarian before I've even said anything.

Male pubic hair does not "get in the way" of most sex acts

All 1 of my lovers is, anyway. Probably the Croatian ancestry. The only manscaping he does is maintenance tweezing to keep the unibrow at bay.

Do you really want to talk about how "preferences" do not exist in a vacuum and before the Brazilian trend caught on, no one seemed to notice (or spend so much time/money correcting) this glaring flaw of every post-pubescent woman's anatomy? Rumor has it that's where the expression "beaver" comes from.

Just sayin'

I think this is something that needs to be changed. Where's the men's leggings movement?

those same people rant about how I am somehow shoving my beliefs down their throats

One example that comes to mind (among many but I chose the most dramatic): I have a friend who was offered $10,000 by another straight guy to receive oral from him. He declined and we as his friends all wonder whether it was some kinda bluff where both guys understood that his straightness was ironclad. That aside,…

I am stealing that photo for my personal gallery.

I think the point is if you're going to ban leggings, ban everything. Don't just act concerned when it's about girls bodies being "too provocative". That's loaded with victim-blaming implications and sexist double standards.

I admit to being distracted by leggings. Don't ban me.

Very true. If you're outside of the spotlight, the people who single you out for abuse might not even know you. I am sure popular kids get bullied as they just tend to get more attention generally, both positive and negative.

Eh, I've found that I'm kinda socially turned off by very traditionally feminine and very traditionally masculine behavior. My friends of either sex tend to be closer to the middle of that spectrum. Some of us just aren't as into gender expression as others and yeah, we sometimes find it boring.

When someone spouts the message that college is a good place to find a mate it DOES make a difference when her advice is motivated by her assumption that finding a father for your kids is the most important thing you're ever gonna do.
