This jackass's definition of harassment is super concerning. There's a difference between a guy saying you look nice and asking you on a date and a guy commenting on your body parts every single fucking day, even after you've asked him not to. And to illustrate said point, I *was* asked out on dates occasionally by

I think that once you've started a consensual relationship with someone sexually, they can express their admiration for your body. Is it really weird to you that people have active sex lives with their partners, yet have no obligation to enjoy the sexual advances made by every dude on the street? I shudder to think of

I had a girlfriend who worked at Hooters, and said that sometimes the tights they wore were the only thing that kept customer's fingers out of their ladyparts. She actually gave it up and went back to stripping for a living, because at least there the men weren't allowed to touch her, and she could go home after a

Not leaving a tip is such bullshit. Like, it's not enough of a power trip for these guys to perv all over the servers, who can't leave and have to be polite and provide service. Nope, these assholes have to make sure their victims don't even get paid for doing their job while putting up with their nastiness.

It seems like you can't win in the food service industry. If you flirt with customers for a tip, people think you're a 'gross slut', leading them on - whatever else "nice guys" complain about on the internet. If you don't play along with their creepy advances you don't get paid. Lovely.

Or just work for free, period. When I asked my boss for career advice at a photography internship I had he told me to work for free. When I said I couldn't afford it he said "I guess you don't really want it then."
F that. The rent isn't going to pay itself.

Ah, good point. Thanks for that.

Even better when people want you to work for free because "you're supposed to love animals!" Yeah, I love animals, but I have three at home for that. I also love a roof over my head.

Hopefully no one will name their daughter Bush.

And here is my take as a man to men who claim misandry....

"Black men" have been oppressed. "Men" as the group DO the oppressing and have all the power. I'm really sick of dudes and their enablers trying to make it seem like being a man is THE worst thing ever. Wanna trade, then?

Is it weird for me to say that your comment struck me. In a good way, I mean. We are living in a world where a fucking hashtag discussing our experiences is considered a rebellion. That's crazy.

The delusion is thinking that facilitating a platform for women to speak up, won't change anything. Of course only updated legislation will have the lasting effects us feminists are aiming for, but you can't change laws until you open a few eyes. Also, as a woman I'm not afraid of being trolled, but I sure am afraid

It's ironic how touchy men are about this campaign, feminism or a bunch of women speaking openly about the female experience—ironic and terrifying all at once.

If you're not actively blowing the sort of moron who uses "not all men" seriously then you are in fact attacking him. You must fluff up these dudes every second of every day.

Of course Republicans dudes would be more interested in sex tips and fashion than healthcare and legal rights. Call me when they're reading BITCH magazine.

And yet Count Chocula and Frankenberry still won't publicly acknowledge they've shared the same castle for over four decades now. We've come so far, but we're not there yet, people.

FFS - NO ONE reads magazines. Except at the doctor's office while waiting for our unfunded abortions or birth control scrips.

Now if some female Senators would pose with a bunch of actual literal douche bags then we could say that they understand the men in that picture!

I try to take anything that prides itself in it's skepticism with the same grain of salt I do with alternative health folks who really heavily on the naturalistic fallacy. Self-described skeptics will often wave off anything labeled "natural" or "alternative" as snake oil and then go searching for evidence to support
