Yeah, that's a really good point. Thanks. I was getting that little seed of self-doubt reading all these replies that say that no feminists care about doors. I *wouldn't* berate someone for it, and if I did, it *wouldn't* justify a big sweeping generalization. Thanks, New Internet Friend!

Yeah, I had a professor at my school do this dance with me once. I just stood there for a sec and gave him incredulous look and said, "Really?"

I don't have a problem with people just holding the door open for me because they're there first. It's the exaggerated chivalrous crap that makes me want to gift them an…

I guess I'm one of those straw feminists because I *do* dislike having doors held open for me, and this article explains why a bit. Because it's part of an overall pattern in which I'm held to be less capable than men of things that are well within my grasp, but I'm supposed to be grateful to men for doing them for…

What makes you think by "we" I'm referring to women? I'm referring to the whole fucking culture, you selectively blind moron. I even said that there's a good chance people who have been actively hurt by those kinds of jokes are reading this. Meaning MEN. Meaning "we" doesn't just mean women. Jesus.

Oh, and "I'll save…

Jesus Fucking Christ did I not say any of that shit. Feminism is a joke?? Women bring this on themselves? Slow your t/roll.

If you really can't see that making people anxious about the size/shape of their genitals contributes to a culture where it's ok to make people anxious about the size/shape of their genitals,…

Let me get this straight: You believe that since male insecurity and anxiety is the cause of misogynistic bullshit, we should continue causing insecurity and anxiety?

Edit: Blergh, replied to myself. Can't delete.

I get that, but if you're the butt (heh) of that joke, it's probably a lot less funny. Chances are good that there are people reading this who are actively harmed by those kinds of jokes.

I sure wish we could stop using "I have a small dick" as such a catch-all for behavior issues. My friends and I talk sometimes about how men never believe us when we tell them we aren't bothered by their dick size. They're so conditioned to associate "small dick" with all kind of assholish behavior and unmanliness and…

...You know, I'm almost happy to see a departure from the one desperate talking point Israel and its supporters bring out every time an Israel rocket blows up another bunch of children, "LOOOOOOOOOK how sad it is that Gaza's leaders are forcing us to kill babies! SOOOOOO SAD for the people of Gaza (that we're bombing)…

Thank you for knowing that.

ETA: Wait, what do you mean "was?"

I care about your cat's boner. I mean, now I do, because it livened up my work day. Thanks, cat! Eternally grateful.

Captain Awkward's most famous post. Since I love her and it's come up. http://captainawkward.com/?s=creepy+dude

Dude, nobody has ever gifted me with a mic drop before. Now I'm gonna have to ruin my "truth to power" moment by admitting I'm absurdly proud of myself for getting this gif.

Yeah, hi? Woman here. Inspired and motivated by Nicki Minaj. I would apologize for dosing you in reality right now, cept you've probably already decided that well, I'm not like REALLY empowered by her, or that no no you meant like REALLY empowered. Or that I'm a tragic exception to the rules you've so neatly laid down…

Jesus. Who the hell are these women you're sleeping with, is my first reaction. I'm really sorry man, you've had some lousy lousy experiences. I guess my advice would be to... try to work it into conversation beforehand. That might sound weird if you're not used to talking about that, but I've got to say, sex got SO…

I grew up in a missionary family - even did a short term mission myself once as a teenager. My mother does missionary work in Kenya. I'm... not really surprised. I mean... this guy is a monster, totally. But to be honest, missionaries creep me the fuck out. It's like they have to go halfway across the world to find…

I recently changed my last name, legally. I had been married and took my husband's name. After the divorce, I didn't want to keep it, but I didn't want to return to my somewhat appalling maiden name that reminded me of my somewhat appalling relationship with my family. So I took on a new last name, one I chose…

...Did you date my ex?!

Nope, it's still fine. Really, everything I'm looking at here is just FINE.
