I love scotch egg! A restaurant in Philly always serves them during Sausage Fest. They are incredible. As a side note, I also recommend sausage wrapped in a piece of french toast, stuffed with a little cheddar cheese and drizzled with real maple syrup. Sausage Fest!!
But that's the only way I get to see him. I have a Tivo alert for anything "Wheaton".
That is awesome.
I feel bad for all people, men and women, who don't understand how to connect to another person. It's true that culturally we're told that men have to do this, and women have to do that, but as individuals we have to do our best to find our own way.
To me, if you're asking a woman to take out her earbuds, take off her sunglasses, and give you her attention, despite the fact that she has given every indication that she doesn't want your attention - that is "shouting". I mean, I assume we're talking about the Craigslist post, and the commenters reaction to that…
"Boners" is short-hand for guys wanting to get up into women's faces and shout their approval of their asses, breasts, walk, face and general attractiveness. They can disguise it all they want with, "your eyes match that scarf!" but the women know that what the guys are doing is signalling sexual interest = boners. If…
I don't think anyone is saying that men shouldn't compliment women. There are many times that it's appropriate, like at a party, after you've spoken to her for a while and found out you have lots of things in common and it seems like you're really clicking. A compliment at this point is great. So is a request for her…
Well, the boss thing is tough. None of these guys were my boss, so I didn't mind being bitchy upfront with them - I knew I'd be able to be nice later and change their minds. But if my boss said stuff I'm not sure how I'd handle it. It can be very tricky depending on the boss.
It set off some trolling bells for me. It's too perfect.
But that's what we're doing right here; we're spelling it out for them. We're letting them know how patronizing and sexist and thoughtless this type of behavior is. What more do you want?
I kept thinking it was a trolling master class. Especially the bit at the end about himself.
I used to be the only woman working in a place with 17 men. I had to have a "private" conversation with at least 3 of them that I didn't want them to compliment my clothes or body or how I look that day. I said, "If you have to compliment me, please just say I look nice today. Please don't say that you like my…
I grew up in a household where nobody watched sports on TV, with the exception of boxing (Muhammad Ali!) and the Olympics. None of my brothers played sports at all. But the girls played volleyball, softball, did cheerleading and gymnastics. But even so, nobody ever said or thought that the girls liked sports. It was…
I'm still not tired of this.
I guess you don't remember being 16? There's no way her parents could stop her if that's what she wanted to do. Or let me re-phrase, neither my parents, nor my friends' parents, regardless of religion, politics or socio-economic status, were able to control who their 16 year old kid was having sex with.
I know. I read the rest of the comments and slapped myself.
Agreed. I wondered whether he has a neurological problem.
My period is the one, single thing that every doctor I ever went to asks me about first. When was your last period? When do you expect your next period? Do you ever miss periods?
I'll show myself out.
