Yeah, I think that there’s a difference between “confidence makes a big difference in whether you get sex or not!” and “confidence erases all disadvantages that fat people have in a society that says that fat people are gross, lazy, unloveable, inconsiderate, selfish, etc” and people are surprisingly bad about keeping…

yaAaAaAas I use this with everyone all the time and it really helps. if anyone’s interested, here’s a pay-what-you-can/pay-with-a-tweet ebook that is p great: http://www.guidetogender.com/

wait why is anal play included in this? like BDSM, cumshots, gangbangs require an understanding of nuance, fantasy vs reality, don’t actually be a sexist douchebag even if you roleplay one, etc. butt stuff? everyone has a butt, go ahead and check your butt out, use lube, etc.

yes

wait though... theme parks have whole physics days where they invite tons of physics classes from all over the area to learn about science by riding roller coasters. this is most definitely a thing.

yeah, I’m trying to remember and apparently I’m not as obsessed as I thought I was because it’s not ringing bells

yep yep y ep yep yep

I mean, so the point that confidence is good is a good point. HOWEVER, this comment comes pretty close to blaming that girl for her own lack of relationships, which is pretty unfair.

Yep! it’s a myth :) Basically, stubble looks darker than longer hair for a number of reasons, and perhaps that’s where that myth came from. If you waited for that stubble to grow out to a longer length, it would be the same thickness as before you shaved. Shaving can’t change the thickness of your hair or the number…

Hahahaha

Yes? I don’t ask people to produce their medical records to prove to me that they had cancer. If they say “I’m a cancer survivor” I’m not gonna be like “mmmm are you really? Could it have been a cold instead? Are you sure that wasn’t a misunderstanding with your doctor?”

ok

nope

South by South is a lovely, gender neutral name :)

Yes!!!!

omg that little nugget reminds me of my little brother when he was much younger than his current 13 years on this planet <3 <3 <3

Wow dude I think you had a break with reality. I’m aware of what Title IX is and how it works, as I spent a good part of my undergrad doing sexual assault awareness. As I said, I didn’t/don’t go to NU, and as such, it’s pretty obvious that I am not one of the people filing the suit, so I don’t know what this “fuck…

I mean, okay, you can ignore everything else I said, I guess. Yes, replying to the chronicle is a good idea and better than the daily northwestern but again, power dynamics. the point is someone used their position of power to shit all over and infantilize undergrads who were assaulted or felt violated by professors.…

I think an inappropriate swimsuit is possible. I mean, an inappropriate swimsuit I think is one with really gross writing. Like, your kid might not have any idea what it means, but other adults do and I’m not on board. Everyone gets to do them, but I would be scandalized if someone wore a tiny babby swimsuit with like…

I mean, I don’t disagree. I think that this is an attempt to work around some of the inherent power dynamics involved in “I’m a professor who wrote some pretty misogynistic, condescending stuff” and “I’m a student who can write whatever in the newspaper and be soundly ignored.”
