but she didn't have the equivalent of her dick out!

your mentality is a huge part of the problem.

I never said there was anything wrong with approaching a woman and "hitting" on her. Because there isn't, your free to do so if you want that's your choice. Even if she's a cosplayer does that mean it's "okay" to take a photo of her breasts? No. Maybe she doesn't know its happening, then your right. There's not a…

So it is impossible to be treated with the same level of respect as a guy because some things that insult ladies just aren't disrespectful from a man's point of view.

(and it was almost difficult to blame them considering the fully exposed legs paraded around)

As a woman, I don't expect to be automatically liked. Nobody does. What I do expect is to be treated with the same basic respect and courtesy you would give a man if you met him in the exact same situation, and that doesn't always happen. I might not like you, and you might not like me, and that's cool because not…

Lots of things in the world aren't black and white, but I really think rape is. Have you heard of the Just World theory? It's easier just to find reasons to blame the victim for their own misfortune, and a lot of people (especially this girl's peers) did just that. By blaming the girl for "her part" in her rape,…

You are a victim blamer. That is why people are saying that about you.

Only the tiniest sliver of a percentage of rapes happen in dark alleyways, perpetrated by strangers you fuckwad. What I'd love is if you went and actually educated yourself about the things you're speaking about before opening your mouth.... or typing on your computer.

OK, so I'll make it simpler for you:

Why aren't you asking any of these questions about the TSA officer and his unsolicited and inappropriate comments instead of the reaction of a 15 year old to said unsolicited comments? And I can only speak from my own experiences as well as the people I know, but sexual harassment towards girls/women usually begins…

Yesterday I was walking home and a creepy old man said "oink oink" as he was passing me. I am average sized and I don't know this fucking stranger from Jesus, but those words have been echoing in my head all day. It's easy to be rattled, especially as a teenager. (I'm an adult.)

Questioning whether a woman was "overreacting" to a misogynist experience is a recurring theme, and runs deep with implied sexism. Even if you did not consider it, it's there. The stereotype of the hysterical woman is ingrained into our culture, and to question her experience as if she should not have had such a…

There are a lot of communities where giving a baby up for adoption, even one that you would have aborted otherwise, is seen as unforgivable. I worked with at-risk youth in rural Indiana for a while and many of the young women who became unexpectedly pregnant talked about adoption at the very beginning, but once their…

Wow Paul Feig, I hope Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy can overcome their boring, womanly personalities and make your movie properly Man Funny.

I think it's just that by pinning the clothes, we get the impression that the dress or shirt is well fitted. It's only after you take it to the dressing room and try it on that you discover you have been deceived: what you thought would nicely emphasize your shape turns out to be a bag with all the fine tailoring of a…

How is this person not grayed out, while I am hanging out in no man's land??

You just won't know how they got so fast and what made them so furious.
