My opinion on guys is generally favourable - I think most guys, like most women, are ok people. That said, I’m still weirdly touched when guys are on this site, and when they are good at not linking their security to old school gender norms that need to just die off already. I know you dudes aren’t like that just to…

I totally get there is a gendered element, and a historic one, to this dynamic. But on another level, don’t we all dislike having close relationships with people much smarter than ourselves? Like, if you did this survey for what girls or guys want in their best friend vs say, their kid , wouldn’t we get a ratio like…

I’m worried about what cancelling this stuff in the name of protecting the traumatized will do. If the link is too forced, as this might be, then we are creating a perception of victims that they can’t be helped, because everything is potentially “triggering.” They will be deemed over-sensitive, and their real…

You will never ever hear me siding on the team that wants to make life harder for sexual assault victims. So in that interest, I have a question that may not have an answer: is the trauma reinvigorated with male nudity? Not the assailant’s nudity, just general male nudity?

I totally agree, this makes logical sense. I think the answer is that even before social media, people always felt saddened at keeping their photos in a vacuum. Even if no one scrolls through them online, it’s still a bit easier to stomach than knowing only you will ever see them unless you force them on family.

And then it’ll be like MORE WOMENZ BECAUSE THEY TAKE LESS MONIES, THEN IT CAN BE A FEMINIZED SECTOR!!! THEN BASIC PAY FOR THIS OCCUPATION IS REDUCED ACROSS THE BO-ARRRRDD!!!

The part that really annoyed me is that we already do. Like, to the tune of $75,000 per year in unpaid, unacknowledged domestic labour, which we are required to do because we’re loving. Even in households that share it better, even with stay at home dads in the picture, studies show women are the ones that get saddled…

I have lots of feminist angles here, but I’m also really choked about that bar. We’ve made so much progress in efficiency we should all be relaxing. Much of Europe has the attitude “why work so much longer than you need to, you slow?”...because the goal all along should have been save the extraordinary effort for your…

I mean, it isn’t great behavior, but many of the comments explain attention from same-aged boys isn’t nearly as problematic, partly because we know what’s going on. All kids are awkward and potentially offensive during puberty. What is super valuable is adult guys who have your attitude. Anyway, it would be great if…

I think the issue is not the men that catcall/street harass etc. I think it is that they are a visible sign of what many more are thinking, in a non-creepy way. Basically, while the harassers are never wanted, you can interpret their existence to mean that guys in general (good and bad ones) are appreciating the view.…

If the US always has to pay the country’s living wage as described by the IMF or UN or some other organization in accordance to US law, then the country that competes will still benefit from a US factory in a more positive way.

Part of the problem is that to create better margins, they shifted production overseas where quality was drastically compromised. This means my FF 21 sweater might still be cute next year, but won’t survive til then. So I need a new sweater. The sweaters in my price range (and many above) simply aren’t built to last,…

There are solutions so that it doesn’t need to go this way. They are just ultra unlikely to survive passing into policy thanks to corporate stakes in the business. One of these that would swiftly end the sweatshop is to say all American businesses must pay living wage in countries of operation, and must extend all US…

I’m not sure I get the Emmy Rossum one? She’s been great and in great stuff, but why her specifically of actresses?

I always wish the knee-jerk reaction to media parents find unsettling would be to fortify the kids with education. I never understand why they can’t just. Like, why go down these much more idiotic, expensive, painful roads?

I know right? When I think of different looks, I think Amanda Seyfried or Emma Watson for day makeup, you know, maybe Jennifer Anniston for natural...Kim K for heavy makeup. None of these looks are bad looks, just varying degrees of makeup you can tell they have on.

I have an Umbrelle spf 60 for the face, after 3 min or less you can’t detect it on, and super easy to apply. Don’t be off-put by the size - with daily use, it still lasts 6+ months.

For abstaining to be beneficial in that regard, much like panhandlers in North America, I think we may need a more unified front. Unless each and everyone one of us is immune and refuses, the parents will try, only it will be a less beneficial use of the kid’s time. If education isn’t worth everything, it’s likely…

I agree sexual leagues exist...but I want to clarify one thing because this is my major and I never get to use it outside the university: the divorce rate in those cases is due to class, because chores are divided along income. In other words, the partner making the least tends to take on most of the chores, even in…

From what I remember of boys in my 3rd grade class, they not only know all about it and then some, but they were brutally misinformed about safety.
