actually I was thinking about the same thing. I just started worrying no one would show up (I know, very silly to worry about such a thing beforehand) and I have no idea how to lead a book club. But I think its a good idea and I might give it a try...

You are actually wrong with that, at least I dont think its generally true. I grew up in Bern (capital of Switzerland), and a lot of my friends are actually quite critical (how much I realized when dating my eastern european ex, but thats another story). So I actually moved in some quite progressive circles. Though I…

My heartfelt answer: Don't do it. It's not as glamorous as it's sold, and some experiences might be irreversible.

I have moved to a new city for my PhD and also split from my boyfriend ca. 2 weeks ago and I feel toootally alone - I would love to find friends. Here where I live (Switzerland) it's really super difficult to meet people. I have looked through meetup.com but there are mostly programming related stuff posted. (..?!)…

I've found a new tech role model! :)

recently I accumulated a long cat videos watching history on youtube. the term "catlady" is becoming real in my life >_>

yes yes, I totally agree with you on this sentiment. I mean if a guy would ask me how many people I have slept with to then infer if I fall into the "slut" or "no slut" category, I wouldnt be sad for 1 second to lose him. I mean I dont go out with guys where I feel they would mind if I would go to bed on the first…

I fucking dont know really.

I was just reading the guardian and all the men already defending him/accusing some supposedly crazy women who just want to make profit out of accusing him made me want to vomit...

yes, yes, of course...but then this difference also can be subjective, at least to some degree..

Um Im not entirely sure about how wrong 6 is. I know women are slutshamed for enjoying sex and I find that absolutely ridiculous. On the other hand I met a guy who was 23 and had slept with more than 100 women. For him it was true that he was a "player", that means an extremly insecure person who boosts his…

comes accross sexist actually. The girl is called a slut and the damn joke is on her intelligence? Classy

I just dont find this women "ideal" in any sense. Its not that Im jealous or anything, but I dont believe that there has ever been one "unique" ideal through history as it is sold to us over and over. The message is: "THIS AND NOTHING ELSE is the ideal and everyone thinks so!!" - of course the message has to be like…

thats a rare case that I see a nude of a woman and dont feel she is objectified. Its become she comes accross selfconfident, but not because she gets attention for objectifying herself but because she really loves her body and sexuality

was thinking the same. weirdly, clothes make her looks disproportionate - she looks way better nude

yes, of course. the dishonesty is really the bad part here, and not only because of the dishonesty alone, but then the sleeping around with people becomes instantly asymmetrical. Like I can cheat on you behind your back, but actually its not a deal between us so only I can do it...- you know what I mean? In this…

I am not sure how genuine feminism can be used to sell anything. Feminism in its roots is also the theory of human worth, that no human should be reduced to and treated like an object - this is exactly the contrary of all the merchandise industry which tells us constantly we are not good enough andor we need to be…

It's not fortitude, without wanting to judge anyone, for me it would be just lack of selfrespect to stay.

wow she looks awesome!

"men women children" - in this order of hierarchy?
