I totally disagree. I've met some really disgusting high-status attractive men. Men with lots of money too. There are men who love making women feel uncomfortable just for the sake of seeing someone be uncomfortable. Money, status, and looks don't change this personality flaw.

You're speaking as though women and men are two totally separate species. If men's value were based on their physical appearance and men were catcalled, they wouldn't like it either. We don't dislike it because we're women, we dislike it because we're human. Why should we "empathize with the male perspective"? Why is…

Lol at the guns comment. Although if we all just started shooting catcallers, I bet they'd stop doing it pretty fast...

That's EXACTLY the same thing I was thinking when I read this article.

I've seen the studies, but I don't think that they necessarily didn't know it was wrong. They may not have known it was illegal, but I'd think a normal person's conscience would kick in when the sex is obviously not consensual. We need to end this notion that rape is just an accident that can happen to any guy. Normal…

You can't see a movie rated over PG that doesn't have bare breasts in it, yet a movie that's main point is literally the sex appeal of this character can't have a penis in it. We have some weird priorities in this country.

That's a good point about Eminem (and I, for the most part, like Eminem). He has tons of racist and sexist verses in his songs. Again, I'm going to re-iterate my point that it seems like male rappers get away with having an offensive rap "persona" and female rappers don't seem to be at that point yet.

Are you talking about Australia or American in the genocide comment? Because I don't know how much you know about American history, but America has slaughtered over 90% of its native population, then stuck the rest on reservations...

I'm confused. Iggy Azalea is representing a culture as well (she just doesn't happen to look like most of the people in that culture). I'm kind of getting the impression from this thread that male rappers are allowed to have a "rap persona" but female rappers are not. I get that she's said some insensitive things on…

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. I've had paranormal experiences since I was little (probably 4 or 5 is the earliest I can remember). Some have been absolutely terrifying, but unfortunately I can't share for fear of being doxxed. However, there were a couple of creepy things that happened a couple years ago I…

I always like to watch Kurosawa's Dreams around Halloween. Not a "horror" movie (actually a collection of short films) - but some of the shorts are damn creepy.

Yours freaked me out! Your parents need to get a priest in there to exorcise the house, stat!

If you Google BBW you're not going to get photos of "big boned" women. I think BBW generally means a woman who is around a size 20 or larger. "Thick" can range from "above a size 2" to a woman with larger breasts, hips, and butt but not quite to the point of being "BBW." I don't know. I wish women could just be called…

I think the point is that it's frustrating that anytime anyone has a conversation about women who happen to be "BBW" or "Plus-size" or however you want to define it, a bunch of people say things like: "Being fat is bad for you! We shouldn't encourage people to be fat! Fat people are lazy - it's not hard to lose weight…

We're not all ready to claw each other's eyes out for your boner.

I can confirm this and I know the Bible very well. Of course, the Bible doesn't mention much about gay men either (6 verses out of over 30,000). It does, however, have a lot to say about pride, greed, and gluttony, but we like to conveniently ignore those things in America, even when we're trying to say it's a…

I love saying to bigots, "If being gay was that big of a deal to God, don't you think he would have made it a Commandment?"

The King James version, which is the purest English translation we have, is not so clear cut:

I'm a (liberal) Christian and I condemn pretty much all of the actions by the religious right. Unfortunately, we don't have much of a voice because atheists seem to be suspicious of religious people in general, and obviously we don't have an ally with the religious right either. Like most groups, the most extreme…

I love that the main argument against anti-discrimination is "but men are going to go into the women's bathroom!"
