I understand what you’re getting at but how can you say the bible or any extremely important document is “not about gender”? Are you saying the Bible exists in a vacuum far away from history and gender and all of the things that affect human beings?
Hey hey, just here to say that not all of us who were teenagers at the time are like this POS. Many of us did pay attention. Many of us remember the details, whether we were old enough to vote in 2001 or not. Many young/younger people do understand what happened so please don’t rope us in with this asshole. It’s not…
I mean, I want to back you up here because this asshat is insufferable, but I don’t think it’s fair to say we weren’t affected if we were teenagers. When something like this happens in your formative years, it really does affect you and how you see the world, how safe you feel, etc. I saw Islamophobia and disagreed…
Thank you. One of my colleagues went to Israel, so now if anyone ever challenges him on anything about his views on anything relating to the Israeli government, he says “I was in Israel for a week! I know the situation! You know nothing!”
“and possibly women’s gymnastics and beach volleyball coz we’re pervy like that” I mean why would men watch women sports for any other reason than perviness, amirite fellas?
I don’t know anyone who could be described as “emotionless.” It’s more about who show their emotions, who allows themselves to process their emotions, etc.....
Women like some leg too, bro. And plenty of women don’t care about shopping. It’s just that we’re expected to look good and impress people. If expectations were higher for men, you might buy some nice shorts.
This is so dumb. So dumb. When in this piece does anyone talk about quality of sex? Perhaps people are realizing the sex they’re having is not great and they feel better about not doing it if it won’t be rewarding. Straight women may be realizing the sex is not worth it, that the men they’re dealing with are not worth…
Even at the beginning of The Mindy Project she had darker skin than she does now. It’s too bad because it looks warmer and more flattering on her but I know nothing about the social pressure to lighten up (since I have the skin tone of Dracula) so I’ll stop commenting.
Ugh, yes. I dated a guy who grew up in an upper class household and he just couldn’t deal with the fact that he was not the boss yet. He couldn’t fathom a world where people weren’t calling him a genius and praising him every day, though perhaps your husband isn’t exactly like that. I had a tough time dealing with it,…
“because he’s a good closer”
Are you talking about the hideous shade of foundation they put on her? It doesn’t seem close to her natural skin tone at all.
This makes me feel so much more certain that there is little chance I’m marrying a man.
Where are the bad dads? I know one of them is supposedly masturbating to someone woman he’s communicating with online and where are the rest?
We know how it works. You’re not saying anything anyone doesn’t know. People are just saying we need to challenge it and say to people who criticize Malia’s dancing “Fuck that, she’s a teenager, and she’s going to live her life.” We can’t feed into this by clutching our pearls every time a politician’s child or…
Haha yeah there is some of that too. And men are “people of action.” They DO things, they are not things to be gawked at in their own right. I don’t know if her friend was American or not, but this is a very weird “no homo” thing that is still pervasive in our culture where men can’t just honestly say that a man is…
Meh, it kind of sounds like the patriarchy to me to say men’s bodies aren’t beautiful. After years of straight men foisting their gaze on the rest of us, of course we would have a difficult time finding men beautiful. Straight men say dicks are funny not sexy, so they must be.
There are several articles you can find on the subject of black women wearing head wraps and scarves and putting hair back in different ways and why this is done.
“And if you’re usually read as conventionally attractive, it can mean a break from being looked at and talked to like a walking fuck toy all day, which, believe it or not, can be pretty un-fun.”
