I was about to reply to your first paragraph with a Statement about how well any Kind of evidence we have as human society Points to the overwhelming fact that yes indeed it is much harder to exist as a woman period -

I'm sorry, but why are you apologizing for that? I mean, seriously, do you go through the world and don't think there is something wrong with the power dynamics between men and women in society? From fighting to get the vote to foot bindings to female genital mutilations to the sexualization of women's bodies to…
That example with tap water doesn't even come close. Basically, that commenter couldn't make it more obvious that he is a man if he were to attach a medical file to his post every time.
MomarSzyslak couldn't prove any better that he is a guy if he'd sent us his medical file. If women had had the option of leaving when we didn't want to bother with misogyny he'd learn about women in history class because we would have left this planet centuries ago. He'd be sitting in a classroom looking at replicas…
That last sentence sums that guy up.
That poster's line of thinking also makes no sense whatsoever for women. If women had the option to leave if they "couldn't handle it" this entire planet would be completely devoid of women. Human society on planet earth is not a very hospitale place for women. They would have left millenias ago to live in peace if…
Every single time I've ever posted on say Gawker or reddit or ANYWHERE else on the internet without specifically stating that I'm female I was assumed to be automatically male - you know, the generic standard human life form - except on Jez.
The little boy's clubs have their shit together and patriarchy will come down on you in my experience. Around #allwomen I got really, really, really sick of all the male gawker readers flooding to Jez to vomit their misogyny on us. So I replied to some of them. Not on Jezebel. I did the same they did. I went to their…
"It's this person's goal to shutdown conversations and make you feel unsafe. They want you to feel upset, they want you to feel humiliated and they want you never to come back here."
I've actually been banned from comment forums by site moderators. For being feminist and not swallowing down misogyny. That was enough to ban my IP address. Meaning I not only was shut out from the forum, but I couldn't even ever access the website again on my own computer.
Awesome, but is there a specific connection of the X-Files to Ottawa?
If he hated "hippies" though, who would probably have picked up the trash, what exactly was his idea of "sticking it up to the man"? If he wanted to rebel against the structures of society in 1964 wouldn't hippies be the ones to do it? I imagine by throwing out trash from a driving car, into a natural water reserve no…
Wouldn't it have been considered worse in 1964?Arlo Guthrie wrote a whole song about it and that was bringing trash to its designated place. Not that people would have thought that much about the environmental effects (although they would have to be really studpid assuming there were none) but in a kind of…
What the freaking fuck? Your FATHER thew an empty soda canto the river? Where the hell are you from? Where I'm from, stupid irresponsible dumb children might throw their trash out because they are unbelievable idiots and their parents should be responsible to give them hell. But what are you supposed to do when the…
Yes, that is a very weird response. So if somebody is single sexual harrassment is ok?
I don't get this. I watched an interview with Strayed. I still didn't get it. There are thousands of people who walk from fucking Honduras to die in the desert of Sonora, who walk hundreds of miles from refugee camp to refugee camp in Somalia. There are rarely movies made about how great and cleansingthat is.
Yes, I don't understand her either. Kylie Minogue and Avril Lavigne could have and should have rightly sued Nick Cave. But this?
I LIVE in Germany and always use that as a starting point saying that I'm lucky because our spiders aren't really that bad compared to other places. Now you are telling me that they are bad lol. But at least they are not poisonous?
What makes me coughp up at this comment is that there are actually women in Saudi-Arabia who are legally required to do so and can't leave the house without permission to show the police.
Do you know this stupid thing they keep telling me? 'They are so much more afraid of you than you are of them' Bullshit. That is not how it works. I don't like being a murderer. I feel really bad about it. But when someone offers to take them outside I just think that not only will they return but they will have…
