I'm not even surprised by that percentage. I worked for a fast food company when I was a teenager, and shit like that happened to us all the time. I think the worst was when I worked a 12 hour day (which was illegal since I was under 18). Rather than pay me time and a half, my manager just split the hours between…

Yeah, I've done something similar and found that men pretty much expect you to oppose them and get confused when you don't. Though I think that if any guy whipped out his cock in the situation you described, I'd probably just point and cackle my most obnoxious cackle.

Eh, I've always been taught that placating insecurities over and over in a relationship encourages a weakness of character. I have my own insecurities, but I deal with them on my own rather than asking my partner to validate me over and over. It gets repetitive and irritating.

I hope it's something cool like squid ink!

I will level with you - I get absolutely no validation from positive comments on my physical appearance. None. I know it's fucking weird and not the norm, but there it is. So in your example, if my boyfriend said the exact thing you wrote, I would be at peace with it because I would be thrilled that he considered…

Kinja won't let me fix my shitty grammar. That should be RESOLUTION, not PHILOSOPHY. I'll start drinking now :P.

Eh, fair enough. I'll drink to a "to each his own" philosophy on this issue. I'm totally cool with people doing whatever they need to do to make a relationship work.

I spend most of my free time eating the heads of my victims after I mate with them. I know it's unusual, but to each his own.

Showing appreciation doth not equal placating insecurities as a result of gender.

Right. And I do like to make my partners feel good. I like to cook dinner for my partner. I like to give massages. I like to do things to let that person know that I'm thinking of him and that I value him as a person. I'm not sure where placating apparently masculine insecurities by pretending I can't open a jar…

Why is it my job to stroke a man's ego though? Not trying to be snarky but this is something I really don't get.

As long as one person acts like the man and the other person acts like a woman. It's the only way!

And sometimes, you need your knight in shining armour.

Ooh, I got to try the strawberry Kit Kat! Surprisingly good.

I am very fascinated and horrified by this...

Thanks for the username love!

This is EXACTLY why I walk around with this cup to collect them. In fact, doctors recommend drinking up to three cups of male tears a day for maximum health benefits.

I'm all for the practice being abolished for all genders.

Right, because removing foreskin for (debatable) hygiene purposes is totally the same as removing the clitoris so women won't feel pleasure. Totally the same thing.

That boy's stepbrother is a hero.
