I don’t really care if you believe me or not. If you just for a brief moment consider that the sheltered bubble you appear to live in where women are never sexually aggressive may not hold true to other cultures then my work here is done.

Not even slightly so. Tilt at windmills all you like, I simply informed you that your statement “men as a whole don’t experience this” is perhaps true in the US, but catcalling and groping by women is commonplace in city centres in the UK at night time. The fact that you want me to be saying it’s just as bad as how

I wasn’t the one suggesting this wasn’t a problem. That was you.

Well, the second half of the statement implies that women haven’t been doing this for a long time. Where I am from (and Mr Cavill, which is the important part) they have been doing.

I am that stick man.

Normal men don’t. Fucking horrible men do. If normal men did this, it wouldn’t even be news. This is an absolute aberration.

“I’m giving away many years of my life.”

I see the logic, but I don’t know... it just feels off. It’s neither one thing nor the other.

That’s an odd system of rules. Why not just split it 50/50 or by what each person ordered?

If Cavill wasn’t famous no one would be yelling at him. Men as a whole just don’t experience this.

Go for a night out in any city in the UK and tell me women catcalling/groping men without provocation isn’t very commonplace.

That’s what I’m saying though. There is no double standard there because cat calling is unique to women.

No, I’m right there with you... I don’t get how this is rapey...

Isn’t that the right message to send though? If you want to say “No” make it a clear “No”. Shouldn’t everyone be doing this?

I have a very firm belief that extra-judicial punishments are always wrong, but damn if this doesn’t push right up against that line.

But its symbolism predates most of Europe’s interactions with Africa (of course there has always been some contact). I think it’d be a stretch to say that early medieval people who probably weren’t aware black people even existed naturally associated them with evil.

Now playing

Are we absolutely sure it wasn’t a mosquito?

Might want to qualify that. I’ve tended bar and worked service. Getting a 10% tip (or more commonly a drink paid for) was a nice little highlight to my day.

For someone that comes from a country where servers make at least minimum wage (it’s called that for a reason) can someone enlighten me? Isn’t the employer legally obliged to make up the difference if an employee doesn’t make minimum wage through tips alone?
