I just don’t need kids going to jail for pinching butts.
Yup. And I am now a fully formed adult human and I mentor junior high and high school kids weekly and the boys are still the worst but I get them for an hour and a half each week so you best believe I make them sit and talk about consent and boundaries and all kinds of tough topics.
My first reaction was “hey, we’d take this a lot more seriously if the recipient was a girl!” then I remember that I was once a girl in junior high who got groped just about daily and no one ever did anything to stop it so...I stopped talking.
Kids, keep your hands to yourself. Adults, save the prosecuting for real crimes and how about just give these grabby kids a stern talking to and explain what sexual harassment is so they don’t carry this crap with them to adulthood.
I feel like the audience for Bill Nye’s message is people who think differences in skin color reflect on a person’s worth or humanity (i.e. racists) and not people who recognize that race is a social construct based on physical characteristics that results in the unfair mistreatment of people of color, which then…
Why is Annie Leibovitz so opposed to even trying to shoot a group photo? She used to be such a great photographer but she is just a one-woman photoshop of horrors these day.
I like to decorate the dick pics and send them back.
I’ve watched it over and over pretty much daily for the last 3 years. Best show ever.

Whose name is he signing? That is neither a D nor a T.
When I was in high school, my ultimate goal was to become a missionary in North Korea and be martyred for Christ. I read the book Jesus Freaks one too many times. True believers are really capable of anything. Had I been raised by hard-right religious extremist instead of being self-taught and just a little…

“We cannot be out there going ya-ya-ya there [Ed note:He means protesting] and then when it comes to young brothers killing themselves, then mum’s the word,” he’s said. “No one’s saying nothing? You can’t ignore that we are killing ourselves, too.” Who exactly is ignoring it?
I use them too. Context, though. If I’m saying “my boyfriend and I are banging” it’s didn’t than “he’s banging me.” I’m not a passive actor in the banging! Look, you don’t object to it, I find it icky...move along.
In the context of that sentence it sounds sexually aggressive and dominant to me. Like he’s the one doing the act and the women are being acted upon, as opposed to a mutually enjoyable act.
Of course. I’m talking about the difference between feminists and non-feminists.
I agree with you here but I think a guy who refers to sex as “banging” and women “chicks” is trying to get across a certain message and it’s not “I enjoy enthusiastic consensual sex with women whom I respect as political, social, and sexual equals.”
