Believe it or not, I feel like some dudes are rude the way they open doors for women (not saying you are like this). But about 40% of the time when a dude opens a door for me, I'll either get a creepy look/vibe like, "Hehe, I'm about to check out your ass. I'm so stealth!" or he will look at me expectantly as if…

I have to feel for y'all, being fed that weird ass version of what it means to be a good person. Question: I open doors for guys all the time. Would that make you feel bad?

Oh man this lady screams "budding alcoholic" to me. In part because of her obvious misery and part because of that red, swollen face.

Agreed. I love short hair almost anyone, but her style last night looks way too much like my mom's.

So... Yeah..... Sleazeballs.

But I'm sure it made for an entertaining episode. Which is her whole job.

Since part of it was filmed for her show, I wonder if the producers pressured her into it.

My only theory as to why it would ever even occur to anyone to sit on a floor in a crowded high school hallway and spank off is that maybe he had a good vantage point to creep at minors in skirts. :/

Yup. That's the patriarchy for you. Our #1 priority as women is to be attractive to men, THEN maybe we can be respected for other things. I feel like the undertone of a lot of sexist comments about Clinton are something like, if she can't even manage to be hot, how could she possibly handle running the country?

Good point. Just another reason this is less about Clinton's potential effectiveness as a president and more about "Eeewww she's all not hot and stuff!"

I agree that popular opinion is often not in the best. That was actually the OP's point, that if the community says it's wrong then it's wrong, which is why their comment was SO DUMB on every possible level.

But 80% of voters DON'T want to ban abortion. Sooooo officially nothing you said makes sense.

The amount of adorable in this gif actually makes me feel a lot better.

They* seem to think they have some sort of right to completely dominate society, and every time the majority decides that some part of it isn't fair or respectful to others they feel persecuted. For a class a few weeks ago I was reading about the Conservative backlash against the decision to make it unacceptable to…

Soooo then you disagree that playboy models are both objectifying themselves and being objectifying by others?

Um no. Do you know how to read?

That's understandable. It doesn't have anything to do with my point, though (which I've clarified further down on the thread).

I feel like a lot of people are confusing the description some of us have made of having a creeped out feeling with a judgement that those dudes or those women are icky people. It's the situation that's creepy. It's just the fact that this exists as an industry that is pretty much like any other, only women are the…

Yeah, at least the one where the dude is placing the model's hand on her genitals just right. And I get that this is what professional photographers do, but I think might be what makes it so creepy. The models are in such vulerable, intimate positions. It sort of hits home the fact that instead of modeling shoes or…

Sadly, I know what kind of response I'd get if I posted that. It'd be something like, "But I'm just trying to make other people better too!" Because the "gay lifestyle" (God I hate the words they use!) will send people to hell. They also think that people like me (straight allies) are terrible because it's part of lovi…
