Exactly. one of my FB friends reminded everyone on the DAY it happened that more deaths took place in Iraq that day. I get it. You're right. But talking about this doesn't minimize what's happening in Iraq. We just need to talk about our soldiers more in general.

I never got the "high maintenance" label. I'm not asking YOU to do the maintenance!

So you're saying it's not genuine. I get that. But I think it's progress to get people on the side of social justice even if they realize it's because they HAVE to. I'm guessing supporters of gay marriage are happy that all of these senators have changed their tune, even if it is motivated by political gain.

"There are tons of feminist services popping up." Great! More of those! Though I don't think the dating service is a good example. What makes you think we don't want our wants and needs paid as much attention to as men? Is there something icky in that? You say it like it's a NEGATIVE thing. Oh no, an advertiser or…

"There is a reason so many politicians pander to women so much."

I have heard my friend say (after seeing a man driving a car with flames painted on it): "He has a really small dick."

The worst thing is that it sounds like she thinks women SHOULD have eating disorders, just maybe bulimia instead of anorexia. Cause he shouldn't have to eat alone right? That would be the real tragedy.

The kind of man who thinks like this is insufferable. Most women don't stay thin, or as thin as society would like, without limiting their food intake. Poor baby, he feels bad eating alone. She is probably eating too, just not finishing it all or ordering a salad. He's the guy who is demanding enough to ask her to be…

Ugh, I totally fall for smug assholes like windbreaker guy all the time. "Hey, you look cold. Would you like to borrow my windbreaker?" *pulls aviator sunglasses down* Works on me every time.

I know! How much would you bet that the same guys who profess not to like "I don't eat" girl wouldn't dare date a woman with a few extra pounds who will eat a hamburger with them? As one commenter gloriously pointed out recently men want skinny girls who look effortless. Fuck that! If you want a skinny girl trophy…

Yeah, I want to clear up that I didn't mean all men who say "I wouldn't do that" are saying they don't care or it's not a problem. I meant to say a some men in that category say "I wouldn't do that, and I don't know anyone who would, so you're clearly wrong." I don't assume men who point out they're not capable of…

Fun fact: I have been given rape threats a couple times for expressing my opinion but a very well known and opinionated fellow I know is deeply disliked for things he has written about Israel has not received any death threats. I find the juxtaposition odd. "I'd like to not be cornered in a doorway by a random…

I don't think Tominda is saying they passively accept it. I think Tominda is saying that they always assumed things were just peachy for women because they never experienced sexism. Then they hear of sexism and are horrified and puzzled by it. They can't believe a large portion of the male population, aka lots of…

So true! "What, men can be dismissive and condescending to you because you're a woman? I've never treated women that way. I haven't done anything and I'm the everyman so clearly you're just imagining things." Or something like that.

lmao. That was wonderful. Now when I think of otters (more likely than you think) your comment will pop into my head...

I agree with Bob and yeah, I agree it's unfair to say men aren't bombarded with messages from women they're not into either. I don't know it from that perspective so I can't say that women don't harass men who aren't interested. If anything, this site might attract men who aren't into traditional gender roles, MAYBE,…

I can imagine some fellow paranoids are thinking about the next time they go on a date and see clothes on every chair and couch. Conspiracy! Nice way to ruin it for everyone, PUAs.

Yeah, I agree with lunch coma on this. I have rarely approached a man on my own and when I had on one particular occasion, it was after he approached me first. I asked for his phone number and skedaddled. Sure enough, three hours later he texts me to ask if he can come over to my apartment because he "might as well…

Dayum he's sexy.

Wow, you're so right. I never thought about it that way. If that was the intention the whole time I missed that completely.
