This happened to be me once. I was working for a corporation, was top performer and everyone loved me. But I put minimal effort into my look (a swipe of mascara, tie my hair back, and whatever clothes I have around that suit my dress code). I was denied a promotion in favour of an outside applicant (a man dressed…

I'm a teacher, and it drives me fucking bonkers when parents send their little girls to school in a pretty dress and their hair all done up.

HOW!??! How in the bloody fucking world does it NOT apply!!?!?!?

Having your stuff stolen is not nearly as traumatizing and violating as a fucking rape.

If a woman physically assaults you, you should do your best to restrain her, or keep her away from you. And yes, if that means it turns into a physical altercation, then so be it. You can`t just stand there and let a woman pummel you, just like a woman shouldn`t just stand there and let a man grope her.

Speaking of traditions that need to die...

So when a man insists on groping me, even after I tell him to stop, I should just keep yelling at him to stop and hope he finally listens?

I have been a member of this community for many years, and I *STILL* show up in the grey. It's incredibly frustrating.

Gah...

You're wrong. They actually *don't* know much about it.

This.

This cracked me up.
