Do not even put that into the universe what is wrong with you?!

I mean this as respectfully as possible, but men making jokes about molesting wives rubs me the wrong way. I try not to be a humorless asshole, but even a sarcastic “ha, this dude rapes women” is just not funny or insightful or biting humor to me. It’s just stating the allegations made against him and laughing about…

I’m concerned for her posture. Shoulders back lady!

I’m very into the word alabamians because it reminds me of animaniacs and that makes me happy

You acted like you want to have a conversation but instead of listening to anything I’m saying you deflect and talk about how men aren’t being treated fairly by “mainstream feminists”. You’re not interested in my point of view, you’re interested in proving yourself right and that’s not a conversation I’d like to…

No, I’m not going to waste my time persuading men who think they’re good people but refuse to be held accountable for their shit to become feminists. And you didn’t respond to the article, you jumped in a thread that was critiquing the article and then got irritated when I pointed out that you’re doing exactly what…

I rarely go myself and when I do is because I’m craving over priced theater popcorn

It’s not women’s job to protect men’s feelings and make sure they’re comfortable. These conversations need to make people uncomfortable because that’s how change happens. If a man decides to stop being feminist because he feels like he’s not getting enough credit for his work then he was never a feminist in the first…

I agree! I think your intent was clear but feelings were hurt anyway, because it’s hard hearing “we don’t need your comments on absolutely everything” and not taking it personally. It’s not a fun thing to hear but sometimes it still needs to be said.

By giving up power I mean changing behaviors that exert power over women - drowning out their voices, not believing then or interrogating them when they talk about their experiences, asking women to teach men how to be better (among other things)

No way would I see this in a theater. Subject myself to the sound of other people’s chewing for 2 hours? Worry about my seat creaking and annoying everyone around me? This is like a panic attack waiting to happen

I was a part of the sns thread and my intention (and the intention of most of the commenters I saw there) was to call out “performative” allies who rush to comment first on every article and don’t meaningfully contribute to the conversation. I didn’t want to kick men out, it was just that I noticed popular male…

Fwiw, I think the intent of that thread was to call out commenters who aren’t adding to the conversation but still comment on nearly every story with some inane comment that ends up at the top of the page because they get there first. I don’t think the idea was to shut men out, but to make sure that voices get…

Could be, good point. I’m not very familiar with the laws and many of the stories I read seem to have perpetrators with short sentences. But it could be that those cases are publicised because of the short sentences.

Same. I think I’ve heard sketchy things about his mom too? I try not to read too much about him or other teens who got famous and struggle now

I’m sorry that happened to your son. I recently read a story about a man in my state who was convicted on charges for child pornography (I think viewing and distributing) and sexual abuse of a minor (forcing oral sex on a minor, I believe a 13 year old). The sentence for the abuse of a minor was 2-3 years, the child…

Yup. The resources don’t result in coping skills :(

I want beiber to be a good person so goddamn bad. I hate when kids get famous and then fuck up their lives (or their lives are fucked up for them) and don’t mature and turn out to be turds. I root for the child stars! Make me proud beiber!

Idk maybe if he was related to all these women?
