I think it keeps some otherwise intelligent, funny, strong contributors from participating here, which is unfortunate. I know that’s the case for me.

Or you’ve just been lucky so far.

The ignorance of decent men regarding the fact that ALL women get treated like this at some point would surprise me more if I had not lived through the Anita Hill hearings. It was the same conversation then. “No, most men don’t do this!” Okay, maybe not, but the ones who do, sure do get around.

“Maybe if these assholes would spend less time worrying about “protecting women” and more time denouncing this shit when they hear it in person and also raising their sons to not be entitled shit bags this wouldn’t be an issue.”

That makes sense since they are evolved from exclusively meat-eating animals, why would they be able to process plant toxins. Did not know that.
