given how you wrote about the GPS proposal guy i'm kind of surprised this wasn't:

To the feminists who will invariably be on here talking about how something like this puts the attention on the man's actions being selfish in nature and how he's using his girlfriend as an object to inflate his ego and his standing with her in the relationship, as well as his place within his group of friends,…

Unfortunately I don't think of Jez as particularly feminist, at least not in the way I was taught. Feminism I was taught is that men and women are completely equal. The only job a woman can't do is be a sperm donor and the only job a man can't do is be an egg donor. After that, it's all open. That's not something Jez…

Like everything on Jez.

No one screamed or kicked or spread wider in defiance." And then they asked each man to measure the span of his spread.

Yep. True. Most of the comments are "backing up" the study with personal anecdotes. Or if women are painted in a negative light, it'll be the patriarchy/society/culture. If it's a flaw of men that is pointed out, it'll be, very often...men. The thing is I tend to be wary of social studies and even if I wasn't this…

No need to beat around the bush. The former happens when the study paints women in a negative light and it's the latter when women are shown to be superior. It's so predictable at this point.

I find it so weird how Jezebel reports on these sorts of studies. If a study points to there being some kind of difference between men and women, half the time Jezebel will be all skeptical and suggest the study must be using sexist methodology or working from sexist assumptions. But then sometimes, they will…

You see, I find your viewpoint horribly disparaging of women. So women are supposed to get more power and somehow be fucking superhuman? Like women aren't just people: that they are somehow super peace bros with the ability to end war because women NEVER have conflict and are peachy little hands-across-the-world…

And I realized that men are like children

Nicki, I know you are, but what are we?

Oh, I don't buy that "makeup and prep time" thing for a second. It's a first date, not the senior prom.

My impression is the guy started getting phone calls for his side of the story. Lots. (Although one person calling me to discuss an old rape I never committed with a woman I never dated would be seem like a lot.)

Because the doubt is going to creep in. "Is she telling the truth or is she justifying cheating?" Not to mention if it's known about her accusations and who she accused, that man is going to say "I didn't rape her, it was consensual." Then we have a classic "He Said. She Said." case and without any physical evidence…

People get mad at her for her sister molestation, so she takes to the air about how SHE is the victim and don't you forget it. Classy.

I have tried on line dating many times because I have quite a small social circle and don't know too many single girls around my age. I just cannot get into it though, it just seems too impersonal and I don't care for the fact that it seems to be very numbers oriented.

Guy here, for what it's worth, most of us would like your profiles to give some insight into your real life. It's like O RLY? You really like Thailand and Bali and South Africa (because you went each place one time). Well that's great those places are indeed amazing. But if we're going to be in a relationship it's…

You are are impossibly childish. Does your mommy know you're up past your bed time on the computer?

How do you define it as being appropriate to approach? I've never really been sure where the line is. Some obvious things like books, headphones, being on the phone all telegraph clearly that the person isn't interested in chatting, but what if none of these are the case?

Can it not be appropriate to attempt to start a…

Short term mace or a swift kick to the nuts might help.

Long term we need to isolate and demolish the attitudes and pieces of culture that help propagate the behaviour. Tied in along with this we need to reach a place where bystanders will be willing to become involved when it's obvious that a man is a source of…
