Sunglasses are practically a must. When I was living in Toronto, and riding the subway, I started wearing sunglasses almost all of the time while on the train. I’ve had a few instances where I’ve just been scanning my surroundings, accidentally matched a guy’s gaze for a split second, and have had him take that as a…

Great, so you only support women as long as you like the tone of their replies to you. Congratulations, you are in fact part of the problem.

The ‘you should smile’ is a HUGE rage trigger for me. I naturally have a very strong Resting Bitch Face, regardless of my mood. I fucking hate it when I’m told to smile. It will automatically make my mood match my expression. I’m told this a lot by other women, too, particularly women who always seem to be perky and…

Oh, come on – dudes should not get a pass for being less gross than they could be.

Damn, I thought you couldn’t top the bit where you tried to blame misogyny entirely on men’s mothers, but the whole racist screed thing is just next level. Amazing.

maybe dictating how anyone should feel about certain situations isn’t a good strategy... for a start, we don’t have a full clue about the context...

I lived in NYC for 25 years, and it was the same thing every day- put on the headphones so you don’t hear the comments. No matter what you wear, what neighborhood you’re in, what time of day it is, there would always be at least 2-3 comments to deal with. I chose to block them all out because life was stressful enough…

This is not irrational. Headphones on mean you don’t want to talk to guys at the gym. That’s been part of the gym code for like a billion years, plus or minus.

Do you think he really needed to tell her this multiple times and that it’s a valuable thing to say to someone? “well” is vague. Maybe “Whoa I’ve never seen someone do X for that long etc” would be better. Either way, it’s wasting her time and interrupting her and just as obnoxious as “smile more honey.”

She can rage if he repeated tries to interrupt what she is doing when she is clearly busy just to tell her some nonsense. Don’t tell her how to feel.

That wasn’t irrational and that was totally 100% justified anger and annoyance.

It’s not just speaking to her, though—it’s coming up and interrupting when she clearly didn’t want to interact.

If a guy passing by said “Hey, I like your form on those reps,” or whatever you say at the gym, that would’ve been different.

And that’s why I walk through my city with sunglasses

When I hear it, the tone used with “Damn. Thank you” usually means “You damned stuck-up bitch. You should be grateful that I’m paying any attention to you. The proper response from you is a ‘Thank you’ to me.” And that’s why I walk through my city with sunglasses and headphones destroying my hearing: so I can at least…

She right and I love her boots.

Most of the times I’ve been catcalled have been first thing in the morning, after walking my kid to school. Baggy sweats, oversized hoodie, no makeup, greasy sloppy bun. My mother-in-law got catcalled in her gardening clothes. She’s 60.

I am confused. Why would I force a person to play basketball with me if he/she was dressed like a basketball player? Does that happen? Forced basketballery?

Many possibilities: Manning skips the class and has a friend sign him in (some professors pass around sign-in sheets, which is of course ridiculous), or he signed somebody else’s name, or he just skipped class altogether and tried to alter the professor’s grade-book.

I guess in five years a comedian is going to make a joke about it and suddenly it will go viral
