I can understand that, but the guy seemed pretty adamant that I could have beer or whisky *only.* He acted like he was completely unwilling to make a mixed drink at all

My mom used to literally throw us kids out of the house and lock the door.

When I was 15, a friend an I were walking home when a truck full of rednecks pulled up beside us and asked for directions. They were probably in their ‘20’s. We gave them directions and they drove way, but then they came back and said they could not find where there were going and could we please get in their truck…

After my middle school administration did nothing about sexual harassment (they considered “peer mediation” a good solution) I carried a pocket knife in school (a tiny one, maybe 2 inches long) with my father’s full support. I felt so unsafe and even though I never had to use it, having it made me feel a little better.

Your trumpet teacher TOLD YOU TO DO KEGELS?!? Good God, I am so sorry. I have Asian-American friends and I know you ladies have to deal with so much bullshit of the sexual harassment variety.

I think I would straight up swing around and elbow him in the groin.

Nah, sneaking a peek here and there isn’t a huge deal. It’s more the boys who openly stare, “accidentally” bump into your body parts, snap bra straps, etc.

That whole “you’re too sexy/you’re hideous” paradigm really fucks with your head.

Ugh middle school boys are the worst. I developed early too. All my little, undeveloped friends had boyfriends and had their pick of the boys. I just got boys snapping my bra straps, staring at my chest, and asking me totally inappropriate questions about my sexual experience (because large breasts automatically make…

Be there for her, teach her that no one is entitled to touch her without her full consent, and, most importantly, be interested in her life and talk to her. I have an amazing father, but during puberty he (and my mom) were dealing with other stuff and didn’t pay much attention to me. I acted out by doing things that…

Same here. I always have to be careful not to go “full hippy” when buying clothes for work...

I don’t necessarily want to see men objectified, but I do look forward to misogynists who are totally pro-Hooters bitching about unrealistic standards and getting a taste of their own medicine when their girlfriends want to go here and they feel insecure.

Idk, me and my hubby took a short break many years ago, figured out we were pretty much meant for each other, and got back together. Sometimes you need to take a step back and assess what you really want.

Nope. Poor working college student here too (now, lower-middle-class working grad student). Someday, I’ll travel. When all the schooling pays off and I have lots of $$$ to do it.

She mentioned a friend, so I think she may have been travelling with someone else.

Only it kind of is. If these women are trying to get out of the sex trade, they’re going to lose their source of income. No money = no abortion. It’s essentially punishing sex trafficking victims for getting out of sex trafficking.

I share your pain. I couldn’t wear tampons at all until after I lost my virginity (I was 18 when that happened) and I still don’t really like them.

Oh, Pitbull can get it. I find tough guys who dress well (see also: Terry Crews) incredibly attractive. Not Shia so much for me - not because he’s not attractive, just because I can’t see him as anything other than “Even Stevens” kid.
