Totally agree with everything you are saying, plus (not to derail) cis women and men would benefit from these bathrooms as well. Hell, sometimes you just want some freaking privacy! I feel like this is a no-brainer that everyone would welcome.

Oh, I was actually talking to Kyosuke!

Sorry, I'm confused by the Bush twins reference. Because I went to college with one Bush twin but the other one was back in Texas, I thought. (Sorry if this it nitpicky— I'm actually just trying to figure out if I might actually know you somehow!)

My boyfriend's reaction upon seeing this: "oh, yeah, I'm for solar, shale gas, farts, little mini child slaves, whatever!"

They should just get the homophobes at Coors to sponsor it! ;)

I'm not sure you're hearing me — it's obviously better to just send money. We agree 100%. But most college students aren't going to think, oh, I'll just stay home and give the money I would have spent to charity. So it's not an either/or, it's a question of whether going to "volunteer" is a net loss or gain to a host…

I do support charities and non-profits both in the U.S. and abroad that are run by people in the communities they serve. I agree that this is clearly the preferred way of providing financial support to communities, in need or otherwise. If every person and organization set aside a certain amount of money every year…

On one level, I agree with you. However, it seems to me that a lot of these white-kids-go-volunteer expeditions actually have the potential to be really beneficial for all parties involved. Let's say one of these incoming freshman goes to Honduras to help build a school building or something. Sure, the value of…

I just kept clicking through the pictures and being like, but that's the same outfit...

My 7th graders come to school just fine, but my first period class is a million billion times more subdued than any other. (I know in theory that sounds like a good thing, but it's actually worse than being too rowdy.) It's more about doing what's best for kids' bodies — sure, we could say, no recess, third graders!…

If you buy the insurance, doesn't that mean you were... *asking for it?*

I literally thought they were going to buy ladies' rape insurance for them (in Michigan). Which seemed kind of sweet, in a disturbing way!

I don't know, to me this video (and the staged one) = super hot.

Hava Nagila/ Have a ham sandwich hahahaha nice.

Oh, I just remember his name because every time an article is about sex, he has something offensive to say about it! And he usually does better than this — goes crazy anti-Semitic/racist/sexist/ableist. I just like recommending dismissing him every time I run across him running his mouth since he apparently will never…

Don't forget to dismiss the creepy fat shaming troll lurking here!

Thanks for your response. I still don't really understand what in this comment signals either "erasing" or "malingering." To be charitable and assume you have the best intentions, it seems to me that maybe after dealing with inappropriate comments so often, you have been conditioned to expect problems where there are…

By the way, don't forget you can dismiss wackadoo responses to your comment!

I don't want to speak for someone else, but I think you are misunderstanding this poster's intentions. It is not hijacking to use your own (related) experiences to shed light on a story like this, particularly to help others understand more about this woman's possible perspective. This poster's comment made me reflect…

I adopted a dog that I was fostering a few weeks ago. When we first got her a couple of months ago, I was a little relieved that she seemed stand-offish because I didn't want to get attached. She is a real sniffer and new smells take precedence over everything else, including food and people (still true). But over the…
