If you actually look at the website for this campaign, you'll see that they actually offer teachers and parents resources and practical advice to encourage that kind of environment.

Sidenote: they probably will. And bisexuals will be invited over for lunch sometimes.

Probably free speech, too. "I'm allowed to say anything I want that could make my daughter feel like shit about not fitting my standards of femininity. It's called BEING AN AMERICAN."

To paraphrase Jesus, "Blessed are the gay people for they will inherent the kingdom of heaven."

It always baffles me when women say "I don't NEED feminism."

I had to explain this to someone and it made me feel stupider just explaining it. Seriously, it just means that casual dismissive comments against girls being assertive should be avoided because it hurts girls.

There was a really cool feminism hashtag on twitter a couple months ago that was about inclusive feminism and what that means (trans rights, supporting the rights of sex workers, push back against slutshaming, etc etc). Some anti-feminists people were trolling the tag and responding to people and there was one…

I had a theater teacher in high school (who, fun fact, was the cousin of Robert Downey Jr.) who did the LA thing for a few years before moving back to teach and one of the last things he did was do one of these dating game shows. They said he was "a teacher from Indiana" although technically he hadn't moved back and…

His reasoning was that his nickname was "rapebait" .... as if that nickname came out of FREAKING NOWHERE and had NOTHING to do with the email's topic.

I'm not sure my thought actually applies to the girl in this story, but I'm just talking about male celebrities in general who are trying to have some fun but not you know, manipulate younger women into doing something they don't want to do because they're intimidated by this famous person who happens to be older. I…

Yeah, I was willing to let this go as "A stupid idea on his part and fairly creepy" and leave it at that. ... But don't blame social media for your horniness, Franco. Come on.

Yeah, that's the thing for me. Our tolerance level (or frame of reference) for sex creepers online makes him seem "not that bad," but it's still FUCKING CREEPY. So yeah it could have been worse ... but it could have just not happened at all too.

Yeah, but I feel like an older guy with as much wealth as he does could actually be a little scarier. There is another layer of power there beyond just "he's older," you know?

Honestly, I was going to let this one go ... I hate to say it that way because it was still pretty damn creepy of him, but he didn't ask her to send him incriminating photographs, he asked to meet up with her only after she mentioned having a visit planned in the States (when she'd be of age), he didn't push her…

"I'm new to social media so I didn't understand that being creepy as hell towards someone who is barely legal in her own country and not legal in mine is wrong even though I'm a freaking adult and should know better! Lolz."

Oh my god, if he ends up referencing Lolita in the press for that movie, I am going to freaking LOSE MY MIND.

Someone (a guy, of course) tried to tell me that just because a woman is posing sexily on a movie poster that it doesn't hurt anyone. Well yeah, out of context it's not a big deal right? But add in the context of rape culture and objectification and centuries of patriarchal bullshit, etc etc, and suddenly it doesn't…

But also realize that women's sexuality is often used against us, either through objectification or shaming or both. So strangers being sexually aggressive towards women isn't just dangerous because assault is so common, but is also really an insult to us.

Also depends if you use public transport or sidewalks to get places or if you drive. I like in a city with practically no public transport, so I don't have to deal with strangers as much as I would if I took the subway or walked to work. But even walking to my car from doctor's appointments or at the gas station I've…

Well, men also don't have people telling them that if/when women attack them, it's their fault. That's part of it for verbal harassment towards women ... we're legitimately afraid of it turning physical and on top of that, having no one believe us.
