Exactly. There is absolutely nothing ageist about saying there is an age that is too old to have children, both for men and women, and I would say that when you will reach the average life expectancy when your child would be just graduating high school you are too fuckin old

Let’s not frame this as a question of “choice” or whether or not she is a good parent. No reputable doctor should administer IVF treatments to a 65 year old woman. Pregnancy at that age is dangerous to her and to her children. Let’s not beat around the bush, this is completely reckless and immoral behavior.

“The female bod” didn't exactly make this one happen by itself. I hope everyone comes out of this reasonably healthy and well. Feminism shouldn't mean we have to applaud medically risky choices.

No one understands that guys who are attractive are MORE scary to us! I have been damn near assaulted by "hot guys". Awkward guys who look regular are my bread and butter, I adore awkward nerdy dudes. I will say hi, go "ah, thanks for the compliment but I have a bf." But alpha frat boys find my alpha nature to be…

Because despite not being there, he has intimate knowledge of what happened to the point that he knows 'it was nothing personal' and that it's actually Sophie whose awareness skills and boundaries are lacking.

I'm the rude one

THANK YOU.

When I've shared my experiences with street harassment and unwanted come-ons, I've actually been told — by men I know — that I should NOT feel unsafe just because I've studied martial arts for years. Even men that I've trained with think that knowing martial arts is the answer and cure-all to women's safety. So on top…

I am so fucking tired of men telling women that women's stories and experiences don't matter, that we're over-sensitive and over-reacting and we OWE it to men to 'give them a chance'. Fuck that. Your "friendly" comment/gesture/conversation does not take precidence (spelling, sorry) over my own perceived safety. And…

Between this horrible shit, the fact that 60 percent of the population seems to think it doesn't exist, and the official declaration that killing of unarmed black men is completely fucking legal if the murderer is white...this country is FUBAR.

There's probably a lot of footage, edited out, that would have given better context to why she "exploded" on him. I highly doubt that the sequence of events you saw were anywhere close to the real-time development of the situation.

I have a weird fondness for the twinnies from TAR (I don't watch Survivor anymore, though I kind of follow it). I think I'm the only one that likes them, though.

I'm going be a bit of a Debbie Downer and point out that Watson's talking points were a) pretty basic Feminism 101 and b) a little bit shallow with little in terms of objectives. I genuinely appreciate these celebrities volunteering their time to promote worthy causes, and I am a fan of the possibility of the UN's…

"women are always taught that our bodies are private"

So, let me get this straight, Reddit.

"No, we all know what your pet issue is."

Look, this isn't my pet issue. Someone at this lit festival asked the question—because it IS a representation problem, whether people think it's legitimate or not—and I pointed out that his answer isn't really an answer. Why have exclusively straight POV characters? Isn't that exclusionary? Why or why not? He didn't…

This is why we need fucking comprehensive health care. If the family did do this scam to pay her bills, then look at all the money and time and effort that that is taking. Plus add in the cost of the tv news coverage.....

What I don't get is how the "abuse" line of hardcore porn can be considered okay. Even professional wrestlers pretend to hit and choke each other. But this is full on beating of women, and equally as bad, psychological torture. I'm not saying the porn industry used to be wholesome or anything like that - it was always…

I agree 100%. If men are consuming violent sexual acts constantly, it continues the fucking RAPE CULTURE. Why do you think young men are so angry at women today. I'll give you one hint:
