• there is a huuuuuge difference between "she did this, so i think she might be interested, i'm gonna go talk to her" and "WELL SHE ACCEPTED MY BEER SO OBVIOUSLY I CAN TAKE HER PANTIES OFF NOW."
  
  Did you even read this article?
  You say there's a huge difference, but most men do not care to differeniate and actually teach…

you know how to find out if a woman is interested in you? ask her if she's interested in you. you don't have to use the bs "science" that hair touching is a sign that she totally wants it, bro.

when you teach boys about "signals" on how to read women, you are reducing women to objects. you are not emphasizing that…

thanks for the link with the "scientific data" but you're missing the point.
this is an article critiquing rape culture and the assumptions that "women want it"
even if you have an article that "proves" that women "semi-consciously" want it, we should be teaching boys about consent and healthy relationships, not…

The thing is that this advice ADVOCATES RAPE, so STOP.
If you want to have sex, do it with someone who consents to it.
Did you know that there are women who WANT to have sex, and that you don't have to TRICK or PRESSURE them into having sex?
This might be too complex for your dude-bro brain to process, but I believe you…

Trust me, they still do.

did you get that idea that "pushing your hair back behind your ear during conversation is usually a pretty reliable indicator of interest" from real interactions with women or from a frat-bro instruction guide?

"semi-consciously"
...irony much?

YES.

simply put, mhenry doesn't see women as human beings; they're targets and objects for him to manipulate or to date rape. he contributes to the perpetuation of rape culture.

mhenry: educate yourself and find a counselor to talk to about your deep disrespect toward women.

"civilized world"

you must be a time traveler.

I want to recommend this comment a million times.

I have disagree with you: hate speech and racism contributes to the oppression and degradation of people of color, it dehumanizes them, and it allows others (whites) to say and do unfair, violent things to them.

No one's rights are going to be taken away, especially not white people, so you don't have to worry. I'm…

People saying racist things "is not the type of problem that presents a major threat to society" for you?

You don't see a problem with people saying racist things because "no one is being legally affected" besides hurt feelings?

Wow.

Gotta say it, but:

You must not be a person of color.

YOU ARE KILLIN IT.

well said.

Yes, because the history of Irish Americans is absolutely comparable to the history of Native Americans in the United States.

Native Americans should just "get over" their genocide.

This.

It's harmless because it doesn't bother ME, so it shouldn't bother anyone else!
FLAWLESS LOGIC FTW.

oh god yes.

If the team's mascot is racist, then can we say that the people reproducing the image are racist as well?

If the answer is no, then who will take responsibility for perpetuating racist stereotypes?

Thank you so much for this.
