My partner won't even walk behind a woman on the street in the dark because he understands. He goes down a different street so she doesn't feel weird. Because even though he knows he is a good guy, she doesn't and he doesn't expect all women to let their guards down just because he is a nice one.

and btw, we are told and trained by women AND men to profile men. We are taught to look for ANY sign, not "proof" but sign that a man could be trouble. As Louis CK so wonderfully put it, "men are the #1 cause of mayhem to women" and when a woman is on a date with a man, he is most definitely being "profiled", as you…

ok, you are glossing over "dealing with" here. This "dealing with" is terrifying and yeah, I will encourage shady behavior among all women if that is what they want to do to stay safe. Have you ever been cornered, alone, by a bro who refuses to leave you alone? Shit is scary. Sometimes putting my safety in one hand…

Ok, these altercations have happened to me more than a dozen times. I'm supposed to say "not interested" and just cross my fingers that you aren't about to go apeshit or follow me home to spare your feewings that a strange woman brushed you off via fake phone number? Fuck you. I think I will keep doing what I need to…

Cool, bro. How am I supposed to know which kind of guy you are? How do I know that when I say no, you're not going to follow me for the next 4 blocks prompting me to call the police? Happened.

I have been yelled at and threatened for not giving my number. so please step off.

and it used to be that if someone you weren't interested in wanted your number, you could just give him a fake one. not anymore. now they text you immediately to see it it's real. now, you HAVE to say, "Sorry, not interested," and deal with the "WTF, Why?" and "Fuck you, you ugly anyways," comments

I see what you're saying. Just a few empty lines after the word SPOILER and the actual spoils would really help.

As someone who can read three sentences at once, that SPOILER warning was really no warning at all.

It never ends, either. My partner's parents are insanely pro-gender stereotyping and pro-gender roles. here are some examples:

OMGOMGOMG, Britney wants a daughter for the SAME reasons my mother did. She was alone and felt valueless and wanted someone to cuddle and she was mentally unstable and wanted us to be just like her and guess what? my sister and I loathe our mother. I know this is my personal anecdote but I cannot help seeing…

i miss mine too. i have cats who are murderers so i no longer have rats, but I have a friend who does rat rescue so i go to her house to get my fix

RATS! Rats are where it's at. I love them and they are bigger and easier to hold. Abby does great rat training videos.

no need to see their FACES, right!

it's really sad. I have never not told someone where I got something I was wearing, whether it be perfume or clothes. it's stingy.

I could understand if I had gone out and purchased it myself. But it was a weird coincidence that someone bought it for me and as someone who thought of herself as the ettiquette queen who went to finishing school, whatever that is, she should know that it would be rude not to accept the gift. And we didn't live…

Just to nitpick - As of May 2013, there is no more Asperger's diagnosis. It's considered just part of the Autism spectrum or HFA (high-functioning Autism).

i will check out Kamiks. thank you

the little things on the side falling off doesn't bother me too much. I really want at least 5 years of wear from a pair of $150 boots. Also, my calves are so big, i would have to do with the short boots.

yeah, it's really pricey for me. My MIL is offering to get them but still, I want them to last 5 years or I would feel bad.
