I wonder if that stat is low? My ex-fiancée is retired JSSOC (Army Special Forces) with PTSD. After we split he met a woman who is active military with PTSD. When they first began dating, she claimed to be fine with our continued friendship. Doesn't sound fine to me, but whatever. Who am I to read into her words?)…

You're making our conversations sound a lot more malicious than they actually are. Since you weren't a participant in them, and you seem more interested in attacking me than having a conversation with me, I'm going to thank you for your opinions and walk away.

"And I think the MRAs would be better off if they understood that a lot of the issues men deal with are because of our patriarchal system. "

It would just be nice if they not only were willing to admit to themselves and the world that their views are feminist views, and if they would realize that the vast majority of feminists are not like the ones they read about from the 70s who supposedly burned their bras (they didn't) and formed "no penis clubs".…

OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! Can I say it? I'm gonna say it! NOT ALL FEMINISTS! LOL

Even many women have this misconception. I have a few very strong, very independent, very politically active female friends who are feminists. They are active feminists, yet they refuse to refer to themselves as such because, "I don't hate men." It's a really sad misconception that I've given up trying to dispel when…

Other things yoga is supposed to teach us: non-judgement; empathy; unconditional love.

I had one last night tell me "of course men are going to try to divert the topic when misogyny comes up".

Thank you. I appreciate your support. I also love the phrase, "sucks canal water" and will be using it in the future.

The irony of this statement for me, is that I am ten times more badass and street-capable than either of my older brothers. I'm the one who volunteered for the Israeli Army. I'm the one who grew up studying martial arts (which my mother wouldn't let me take at first because "nice girls don't need to know how to…

I'm furious that when I was date-raped, my "feminist" step-mother told me, "It's a sad fact of life that promiscuous women often have these things happen to them." And then she had my father demand an apology to her when I responded by sending her a three paragraph email in which I told her in no uncertain terms that…

*snort* It's sad how true that is.

Good luck finding most jobs now. How many employers do you know that would knowingly hire someone who was expelled for rape? I don't know many.

Maybe he was worried he would inhale too much carbon trapped in the tunnel? People are weird. Weird I tell you.

"How can you claim to love something that so stupid it has to be trained not to lash out?"

That's really interesting; it makes tons of sense that the article would focus on sex workers and things they are asked to do, especially considering that people feel more comfortable asking sex workers for fetish fulfillment than they tend to unpaid partners. it's a somewhat sad commentary on how our society works,…

8. Because they want to make more money, which is why a number of strippers I know have had cosmetic surgery.

So about that- my Jewish sister's lifemate is a guy who does WWII reenactments. He plays a NAZI officer. Full on uniform and everything. So, some women do? I think they do role-play stuff, but I've never had the chutzpah to ask because I find it a bit unnerving.

If I had to go by the display next to the mannequin on what they were trying to sell, I'd guess DVDs as opposed to outfits.

"OMG! I feel hurt, angry, totally betrayed, not to mention pubically humiliated in front of an international audience: YOU MUST BE THE ONE!"
