Well, I do happen to teach while completing my doctoral studies - a continuation of my undergrad and masters level education in social justice and critical theory. I'd love it if you'd attend one of my lectures though (if you can take time off from all of your dance classes, of course).

I am the man now dog.

I'm sorry, what? And why?

Well, no, I didn't 'hate' her. But she was up to some pretty horrible stuff that was likely going to destroy our relationship anyway. The relationship had basically run its course, but neither of us knew how to do anything about it - we'd been dating since we were 14yo. Additionally, I'd become close (and fond of) her…

Again, with the qualifier: 'often'.

Well, in MY circles, people would wonder where in my comment you would find any claim to a 'universal norm', particularly given the qualifier 'in my circles'.

I'm aware of the show, but I've never seen an episode. I'm in my mid-twenties, and I think the show was before my time? Also, I don't really watch too much television - I certainly don't own one and don't really plan on doing so.

A wonderful life, indeed. Just look at that vision of 'wonderful living' portrayed on Ms. Taylor's face.

They are. But people call dudes who prefer politics, literature, music, and art over sports/games/etc 'hipsters' as a way to emasculate them.

Sometime in high school, I made the decision to NEVER wear clothing with visible text, logos/brands, or images. I didn't want clothing to speak for me, or for some corporation. I didn't want my opinions/views to be distilled into a single, vapid and quippy quote. And I didn't want to to dress like an advertisement.

Well, given the theme of this post (that I've loosely interpreted), it interrupted so many other relationships.

Very confused about your comment...

When I was 19, I broke up with my high school sweetheart by encouraging a threesome that included her best friend, knowing very well that she would not be able to handle her jealousy and that it would destroy the relationship.

Yeah, no. Unless the fast food job is specifically and directly relevant to the job you're applying to, you DO NOT list it. I'm assuming the person isn't going to college to then apply for another food service job.

I wish I could take away the jobs held by the sexist, racist, religious, capitalist and neoliberal lawmakers that get paid millions of dollars to fucking destroy this country and its people.

Well, it's often true that fellas don't really talk about this stuff. They use social situations to enjoy a reprieve from those aspects of life. In my circles, guys tend to talk about politics, music, literature, art, etc., for example.

Um. A lot of guys say that stuff ALL THE TIME. There are a TON of guys who absolutely despise cars, sports, games, whatever, and get so sick of being lumped with that male stereotype - or worse - finding ourselves in a situation where we actually encounter that stereotype. Even in places like NYC, SF, PDX and Seattle…

Equally, there are a LOT of guys who really dislike sports and video games and such. The gendered perspective of interests is just so out of touch. Perhaps this person lives in an area where these gendered norms are really pronounced?

Sorry, I know several people who work(ed) for AA as employees and (semi-nude) models, and they are all quite pleased with the experience. The only victims I see are those on this site that project their own issues upon a series of business practices between consenting adults. Quite frankly, the only real problem with…

Aww. Look who can't encounter eroticism without thinking of rape. They have professionals for your sort of malfunctioning, ya know?
