Plus, we're socialized as women to NOT ask for more because it's not ladylike or polite. We taught to not be assertive in our careers because you don't want to seem like a bitch, right?

Trust me, I had a boss who proudly sported a faux hawk... this guy seems just legitimately cool and it looks like a mohawk to me. I have to wonder if naysayers are just annoyed at the attention he's getting, but it's not like he asked to become a meme.

I think the point is that just because a person doesn't realize or claims to not realize that what they're doing is harassment doesn't mean they get a get-out-of-jail-free card, so to speak. At some point the basics of what is or isn't harassment should be common sense. For instance, (and this is from Valentine's blog…

While not exactly the same situation, I used to work for a catering company and we had some temp workers in the kitchen for a big event. I had been put in charge of setting up some areas and one of the guys kept "jokingly" putting down my authority in the kitchen. Before service, we had some time and I was shooting…

I hate to go slightly Godwin on the comments, but a decent comparison is jokes involving the Holocaust. If you make a joke about how ridiculous the very idea of that kind of event is OR the ridiculousness of the Nazi party, then that can be funny and clever and not offensive. It's why Springtime for Hitler is one of…

There was a really good laundry detergent commercial in the US this year with a Dad talking to the camera about keeping up with his kids' clothes while he folded laundry. His daughter asked him to put her hair in braids and he smiled and asked what kind she wanted. It was one of the most genuine portrayals of a father…

"MY BODY, MY CHOICE. NOW STICK MOOSE TRACKS UP THERE!"

No, you did a great job explaining it. And you have better grammar than many of the native English speakers on the site.

It's also one of the plants you can find in Animal Crossing. :)

I look at it the same way I would at a friend offering to pay or one of my parents... if you insist on paying I would be gracious, but I wouldn't expect it. And if there was another date, I would offer to pay that time.

"from one bad customer service email come on that’s a bit excessive"

Well, this has just gotten silly. With the plethora of PR professionals out there (some of them VERY good at their jobs), why in the world would they hire back the man who single-handedly soiled their good name? ... It just doesn't make sense.

I've only read the first chapter or so of the webseries, but I believe that quote is taken from the protagonist character, who starts off as a very naive young woman who doesn't believe lesbians actually exists... until she's taken on a space adventure by lesbian pirates.

Yes, the fact that a positive article about transgender transition was posted on a gaming site sure is awful.

Beauty is subjective. Just because you don't find someone attractive doesn't mean they aren't physically attractive to someone else.

No seriously, good for you. Open communication is always key and most men don't put nearly as much focus on that.

Which is ridiculous since the Siegfried and Roy maiming came from The Animal starring Rob Schneider.

But how can I choose just one?
