It’s worse than one time a guy wrote a 100+ page manifesto specifically about how he wanted to kill women, and when he failed at his goal because a sorority house remembered to lock its front door, every MRA on the planet insisted his actions had nothing to do with misogyny. I mean, at least that guy actually killed…

I see Ser Meryn continues to enjoy his work.

described homosexuality as a “birth defect”

You mean not expecting different behavior from their partners than they themselves display? Not wanting casual sex from us while also despising us if we have casual sex with them? No, I’d be pretty cool with that. I’m sure straight guys would have also sorts of evopsych reasons for not treating women like gay guys…

I think it’s possible Sansa and Theon are going to interrupt and Brienne will let Stannis live to help get Sansa to safety. They’d head for Castle Black, not knowing about Jon of course. Lbr the only option for Stannis other than death is to take the black.

Yeah, but we don’t deserve all the blame. If straight men acted like gay men do in relationships and treated partners and casual hookups the way gay men do, we’d feel way more safe and free. How can we let ourselves act more like gay men when we’re stuck with straight guys?

What's awesome about these fucks is that a guy turns out to actually be stone cold murderer and that STILL doesn't make them think hey, maybe these ladies were telling the truth.

You’re right. Multiple women lodging the same complaint about this guy are definitely suspect, since his measured and reasonable response of murdering one of them in cold blood indicates excellent moral character so he probably he wouldn’t do anything shady, ever.

Your username is amazing.

Yes, but the reason why this point you’re trying to make is problematic for me is that you could make the exact same argument about young women who, knowing frat houses got a whole lotta rapin’ going on, choose to go there to party and get wasted anyway. Once someone is that wasted, they’re no longer consenting,…

Well, we are usually talking about 18-yo boys who are already extremely drunk. There are also way more members than there are pledges, so they’re outnumbered, and may be trapped in the basement or hauled out to the middle of nowhere blindfolded...so while it’s not forced in the systemic sense, in the moment, yes, it…

Are you differentiating between FFM and FMF? I mean if she was specifically going for FFM and didn’t get the whole thing where that means girl touching, as opposed to FMF where it means no girl touching...but FMF is perfectly legit. I'm not into girls, but I've done FMF with a friend and her boyfriend. She just wanted…

He gets residual Nessa love from me. I can’t dissociate them, so...

I love it when a book comes up like this that flicks my “re-read immediately” switch.

Guuurrrrrrrl.

I think it's less about the way he looks and more about that time he raped the au pair and then blamed Trudy for his crime.

I don’t either. I personally am way more interested in the female audience than female artists. I love the idea that mainstream country depends upon the female audience, and I don’t care that female artists aren’t of interest to that audience. I find it way more beneficial to women as a whole when we’re recognized as…

There is NOTHING wrong with women’s fantasies being serviced, and women shouldn’t feel bad about this at all. We should feel great, actually. Girls and women shouldn’t feel bad for liking mainstream country music because they’re fantasizing about the guys any more than they should feel bad for liking boy bands because…

We’re not talking about women. We’re talking about a specific audience. If the data in this article is accurate, women make up 75% of the mainstream country radio audience, and have been shown in marketing studies to vastly prefer the big mainstream male country stars. So, these are not women who are listening to…

I don’t think he’s offering any commentary about female artists at all. He’s saying that the numbers show that the vast majority of listeners are female, and the vast majority of female listeners want to hear male artists. His job isn’t to ask why, because his job isn’t to advocate. It’s to sell.
