I'd suggest we burn him, but it seems like he's already constantly on fire.

This is so 2015.

There was this guy today at the cafe, where we were the only two people in the room, and he kept on staring at me, while I was eating, doing homework, and using the phone. And as I was using Tinder, I saw his profile, it was quite racially charged and full of fetishization (think confederate flags, Yellow Fever,…

Let's be honest here. A civilian getting shot isn't going to raise enough of a stink with the right people to make anything happen, good or bad. It's going to take a cop being shot by someone who's being swatted who thinks it's a home invasion. That's what's going to make a lot of shit hit a very large fan.

All swatters should be charged with attempted murder.

to to pull out my favorite cs Lewis quote. - "Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the…

I see what you're saying, but I'm pretty sure what these comments mean when they refer to men "saying they're feminists" is when they're super strident and braggy about it. (ya'll feel free to jump in if I'm mischaracterizing.)

Or a better analogy might be if your girlfriend pretended to respect you as a person and respect your boundaries, only to violate these things later to try to get in your pants.

This. I dated a guy in college who, like me, was in the sociology program and read the cannon, but the more time I spent with him, the more I noticed that his general demeanor toward most of the women in our classes and our professors was dismissive. He called himself a feminist, but actively distanced himself from…

My experience has been different. Many of my male friends happily say that they're feminists. It's not something they go around shouting about though.

Originally from Michigan, he strove for an anti-capitalist lifestyle, the pinnacles of which were his militant veganism and leadership in the biking community.

this is just horrible, but honestly, it makes me feel less alone. I didn't have to through what these people had to, but when I was 18, I started seeing this guy and after two dates he convinced me to come to his room (her had "get his jacket") where he told me he didn't want to have sex that night (I'm thinking,…

I have never experienced assault at the hands of a male feminist, but I have experienced Macktivism for sure. I only trust men who listen more than they talk about feminism (in a conversation with women), who are feminist in actions but not necessarily name. I look for nuances in conversation, reactions to real world…

Basically, Link finds himself on a pretty pleasant (if slightly boring) island, blessed with lots of unique and charming inhabitants. Of course, Link wants to get home, and what he wants he gets. Link eventually learns that the entire island is actually the dream of a giant magic fish (yes, really) but the people on…

At last, evidence that you should always bring Spears to a knife fight.

Well, I'm off to write personalized thank you notes to every guy I've ever dated, because, sure, some of them were selfish or stupid or controlling or still in love with their exes, but at least not a single one of them was a sisterfucker. And, for that, I am grateful.

while the inital trilogy may remain at the core of that universe, i think you're missing something special by overlooking what was written in before and after. (though personally, i can do without the galactic empire books.) if you're into not just world-building but universe-building, seeing the robot novels build up…
