What are your thoughts on “orientate” vs. “orient?” “Orientate” seems to be winning.

I know it’s not, but at first I thought Tilda Swinton.

I can’t imagine what I would be doing on my world tour. My husband and I joke that we could teach cuddling seminars because we have named some of our positions. There’s Sidecar, Texas Twister, Pitty. My rider would be Harry Potter books in Spanish and English, herbal teas, cooking magazines, and zines from the city…

Are there storytelling events in your city you can try out? I did my first storytelling a few weeks ago, I know I rocked it, and had a blast doing it.

You’re making me think, hmmm...female characters that aren’t animals or inanimate objects.

Ahhh I was too lazy to scroll up. And yes, Hush was terrifying.

Would that one be kid-friendly? 4th grader.

Haggis it was the best they could do.

Will your cloak fit two of us?

I share your optimism, tempered with cynicism. Perpetrators have to realize that sexual assault & harassment survivors are coming forward in greater numbers, and finding that their stories are believed. So I do think there will be less places where this goes unchecked. However, I don’t believe misogyny will end, just…

It sucks you’re having brother troubles. It’s a little prickly with mine too, so I can relate.

I like the way other women here have posted about flipping their language on them. You could say it to him first next time and tell him perhaps the discussion should end because he’s getting emotional. Gaslight him.

I hear ya, sis! I didn’t want to comment anything more than I did, because Rihanna’s body is not up for judgement. I just uh, really like to imagine her in a Snuggie working on her night cheese. Thanks to Wallflower for posting the gif. Mwah!

I like imagining Rihanna on the couch eating her night cheese.

Ending misogyny as a societal value is going to take all genders and races. Somebody raised you right! Thank you for working on helping your friend. It shows you really care about him, and about women.

Wow it’s amazing how much is packed into such a disgusting phrase. “Keep sweet.” Maintain a facade of pleasantness at all times, no matter what is happening from moment to moment. Isn’t that what robots do?

“You’re cute when you’re mad.” Try telling them that next if you really want to destroy the friendship. ;)

Do you think it’s a projection in that case? Like the man is panicking inside that he is being bested by a woman, so he says “calm down” to her as he’s trying to save face?

Right you are, but if I read a long article on documentaries about Marsha, then have to Google her to see what she did, that means I agree with NonServiam Ghost’s point that the reporting was messy. Inserting hyperlinks doesn’t mean the five Ws become optional.
