It’s very difficult, and much less likely, for a female to commit a sex crime against a child.

Does that apply to bigots too?

This is bullshit propaganda being peddled to subordinate women.

Does it matter what the teenage daughter thinks? Or should she shut up and take it, and find somewhere else to be naked if she’s scared of a penis?

Where do you live?

Since when are intersex people ever transgender?

Thank you for being sane. It should make women extremely suspicious that we’re suddenly expected to ignore our femaleness, or pretend like it’s something intangible that we identified with and chose. After all, if you have a problem with being submissive and subordinate, you must be a transman!

NO

Haha shock :)

‘Cause I want to Germany intending to have a shitty time? :-P

Yeah, there’s a difference between “I’m open to dating black people and might even be happier with a black person” and “I want a black person, any black person, to satisfy my needs"

No apologies, I’m interested! That might explain why she came across as so creepy. She was trying to prove something about herself.

This is obviously some kind of group pathology anthropologists of the future will write about. ‘Cause seriously, wtf?

I was actually a student, and good call on Bavaria, that’s where I was :) and I seriously doubt they were joking around. Maybe I should have stuck with “colonial Europe” or something like that. I got treated very weirdly in England before Bush was ever around, and similarly in France after Obama was elected so I…

It was a language exchange, the Americans all spoke German at least ok, and the Germans were english majors from a gymnasium that specialized in languages. There may have been class differences going on, but they had a deep visceral reaction to Americans of European descent (none of us German, though, weirdly ‘cause…

Middle class German professionals and their gymnasium students. The kids especially had a hard time grasping that a bunch of teenagers had no control over the US’s evil culture that was (is?) ruining the world. They felt very comfortable (at first) correcting us over innocuous cultural differences, because we were…

We’re a post-colonial country. Our beauty standards are based more on class status than actual beauty.

I wish you could down-vote on Kinja. Nice backdoor insult, asswipe.
