Yes. But. I would analyze that still. Not someone holding the door open for me, but you know when a man opens the door for you, but for some reason you shouldn't be going first (too far away, bulky bags, with friends, whatever) and gesture for him, and he refuses? And he stands there (for me, always with his arm over…

However, radical feminists are not going to change their minds because of these images, and the MAJORITY of feminists don't say these things. So... it seems like it's trying to make feminism less "scary" for people who think feminism is made up of radfems, but to me it seriously undermines women who do NOT agree with…
I would sincerely enjoy that photo series.
Hahaha that's amazing!
Yes! So much of this.
So well said - I don't think women are invited to this, no. We're invited to be her, not to interact with her.
Agreed. I really enjoyed this article!!
Oh wow, barf. So someone being beautiful = a woman you find fuckable. Gag. Thanks.
Yeah, wow. We can have endless photo-debates of whether Tom Hiddleston or Benedict Cumberbatch is hotter ("But he looks like a weasel!" "NO he is UGLY!"), but heaven forbid you say something negative about a skinny woman. Don't you know that's skinny shaming?!
Wow, that is a lot of anger for essentially a one-sentence post! Do you have fun raging out on strangers over nothing, or is it stressful for you? I find it stressful, so I hope it's fun for you.
It really, really is amazing.
Okay, these are ridiculous but the Steve Madden one is pretty funny. Considering it was tweeted by, y'know, Steve Madden.
You are so right with this. That's what was running through my head while I wrote you an answer on some safety tips I've used, all the while hoping that people reading it realize that it is not a woman's duty to do these things, it isn't her fault if something happens and she didn't do a specific safety thing, that…
Sorry, to me date does not equal dating. This all applies even if you're looking for hookups. Grab a coffee or a drink first just to make sure you feel good about the person (instincts are awesome!). I mean, that's what I prefer even for no-strings sex, but if you don't even want to do that much that isn't sex then do…
It already ended, there's an update on the article that she has been found and there was no foul play.
That would be pretty great, done properly. Because it isn't about how you meet them - I mean, you can know someone from ten years and still be abducted or assaulted by them. But with the way stories like this are covered it's reasonable to feel like you can't ever talk to a stranger without risking your life...
Exactly. And really, most of the "God" reasons we would be perfectly applauding worded slightly differently without the religious tone. It's about who God thinks you are = it's about who you are inside that matters. Etc, etc.
If undergrads are taking their academic linguistic cues from online blogs, we have more troubles than 'feels'.
Thank you. <3
