For the third or fourth time, no, a woman wasn’t fired for refusing to allow a male character to have sex with her. As I said initially and then over and over and over again in response to your strawman objections, “firing women who refuse to allow particular men to have sex with them is strongly advocated by male…

I thought “awhile” was the adverb while the noun phrase was “a while”?

By a “non-answer”, I meant that you didn’t answer the questions I asked. It wasn’t ambiguous.

Oh, a non-answer. Yes, it does promote rape since deliberately getting someone very drunk so that they won’t resist sexual advances which they would otherwise resist is, newsflash, rape. And, no, women aren’t actually fired for refusing to allow men to have sex with them, but firing women who refuse to allow…

That’s so minimizing. It goes way beyond the Bechdel test. That shows promotes rape and “good guy” men firing women for refusing to have sex with them. When websites explicitly aimed at people of color post about TV programs that celebrate how fun anti-black racism is for white people, do you go there to have…

Why, as a man, come to a women’s website to post about how much you love a misogynistic television show and how heartwarming you find its ‘bromances’?

Is it expected that female lawyers wear heels in your court system while male lawyers are allowed to wear flat shoes?

Yeah, that’s exactly what I said: a man and the rest of the majority-male management of Gawker. I know that people do occasionally call men bitches but the heavily female implication imo it really does obscure the male-on-female nature of the sexual violation of Juzwiak and his male boss distributing photos of…

Who’s “you bitches” in that context? Jezebel didn’t post photos of Hathaway’s vulva, that was Juzwiak (male) and the rest of the majority-male management of Gawker.

Mmm, seems super coincidental that you just happened to see my comment on a day-old, hundreds-of-comments long post all of ten minutes after I disagreed with you. Yeah. Just like how anything in my comment to they dating-help-guy was actually an assumption. Oh, and don’t tell other people to calm down when you’re the…

The most common reason why people have trouble finding someone even when they’re putting a significant amount of time/effort into attracting attention (why “having a devil of a time trying to attract interest beyond friendships” implies he is) is that they’re spending the majority of their time/effort on people who…

Chinese restaurants are, presumably, run by largely people of Chinese descent anywhere, but in a county where fewer than 1% of the population is Asian-American (and that’s including Pakistani-Americans, Indian-Americans etc. etc.) there’s nothing implausible about only one-in-five nail-salon workers being…

If you think that raising the desire to rape and harm in a context where the other party is unlikely to feel like it would be “polite” or “reasonable” to respond negatively is “clearly, obviously, and unambiguously the exact opposite” of grooming, laying the groundwork for sexual abuse, or preparing for legally…

It’s actually fine for the costuming of female fictional characters to be more focused on character, location, and comedy, and less about avoiding what men perceive as ugly.

Other than Tran? Probably because it’s set in Florida, not in L.A. or New York. The Asian-American population in Florida is relatively very small. In the largest city, Jackonsville, less than 3% of the population is Asian-American.

Whose interest are you trying to attract? For example, since you’re overweight and in your 40s, are you mostly approaching other people who are overweight and in their 40s? (People also usually underestimate how overweight they are.)

No, the odds aren’t in their favor. The odds are more in his favor than they would be with a partner his own age, but the odds are much less in the thirty-year old woman’s favor than if he had a partner her own age. Even if she somehow doesn’t mind the hugely inflated likelihood of her child having autism requiring…

No, both parties confirm that she was staying the same hotel but in a separate room that happened to be on the same floor.

Haha, yeah. Anesthetic is spelt anaesthetic in UK English since it’s a loan-word derived from the old Greek, but if you try to spell it the US way on a UK-English autocorrect keyboard it turns into aesthetic. Maybe they’d decorate the procedure room with some local art depicting happy childless couples frolicking…

Somewhere sensitive, for sure, but it would be preceded by a local aesthetic which would take care of that.
