yeah, it wasn't "she looks too skinny, must be unhealthy". it's "her doctor said her healthy weight was 10lbs heavier and she's decided to go against that despite it not being healthy for her". which is a great example of how a strict beauty code hurts everyone.

you can do anything you want in this world. but there will be consequences. feel free to piss in a jar, but don't be surprised if you get kicked out of the mall or are forced to register as a sex offender. but do what you want to do.

on top of what rokokobang said, you should be careful about distorting reality to be what you wish it were.

i believe the specific brand of logically unsound here is false equivalency.

i guess you're a big proponent of birth control being paid for or discounted by the government, right? since the women are ultimately responsible, you as the not responsible one will want to make sure they have all the tools they could require.

classic bergsy.

what i'm saying is that simply isn't enough. i can, as a white person, speculate day and night about what it is to be a black person in north america today, but i'd still just be speculating. i will never know what it's like to have articles like this written about me, to have the system set up against me, to be…

you don't get to say 'in my experience' when talking about how men treat women and how that makes them feel. i'm not being rude. this is a fact.

this also gets dismissed. fuck off forever douchbag!

lol this is old. aaaand you're dismissed.

They find me. When I'm walking down the street and some yells bitch at me, or when a guy touches me when he's trying to get by. It doesn't have to be that a guy assaults a woman or calls her names, it could be that he keeps pushing when he hasn't been engaged.
If I'm in line at Starbucks and some guy starts with me, if…

i'm really not understanding the point you're trying to make. give guys who harass women a break because they might have other shit going on? men are rejected a lot so we should understand when they call us a cunt for not giving them our phone numbers?

You just put the fear of being sexually harassed for politely saying no on the same level as being reluctant to be politely declined. No one likes to be rejected (and you wonder why women smile and turn away -thank us for making it easy on you) but at least you don't have to worry about violence.

i see you're well experienced in being a woman and that none of what other women are telling you could be true. carry on then.

WHAT APOCALYPSE NOW IS BASED ON.

oop, guess i'll cross the street to avoid that guy.

You are talking about an EXTREME TINY MINORITY OF MEN

yep!
