Almost EVERY TIME I go running. Headphones in. Actively propelling myself forward, looking straight ahead.

I mean, I guess I understand if you want to say something, but when I respond with a one-word answer and don’t bother looking up, you’d think the hint would be taken. Apparently not.

Also, I would be willing to bet five Schrutebucks that the majority of dudes know exactly what these social cues mean. They are choosing to ignore them because they think that the social contract doesn’t apply to them in cases where the other signee of said contract is female.

I was really hoping someone would be so self-involved as to turn a larger issue into an anecdote about a unique personal experience that does nothing to change any of the points made in the post. Thanks!

“Please leave me alone” or “Please go away” usually is met with a “fuck you very much, bitch” response so, hard pass on inviting insults into my day. How about dudes learn and understand incredibly common social cues?

you should feel LUCKY that a guy like me is even TALKING to you.

The gall that it must take to interrupt someone who is quite obviously working because you want to flirt with them is rather incredible.

I often go to my favorite little wine bar to do some writing on the fic I’m working on. Much as I love the confines of my bed and mechanical keyboard, occasionally I just need some outside inspiration and change of scenery. You would be shocked (or maybe not, really) at the number of guys who think I want to discuss…

Maybe men should get better at that.

So they made fun of girls for being stereotypically girly and a man for not being stereotypically manly, is what you’re saying?

Who cares if they paid attention to the game or not. They bought their ticket- they have the right to enjoy their seats anyway they want as long as they aren’t hurting anyone.

Baseball is boring as fuck. I don’t know what you mean by “inability to connect to the world around them”, but I have a feeling you also yell things like “get off my lawn!”

I was coming here to say this exactly. Men taking selfies after being encouraged to = a real super fan trying to participate in the game activities. Women taking selfies after being encouraged to = vapid, vain, self-involved idiots, probably just at the game to flirt and ogle players.

They were participating in a promotion that involved taking selfies put on by the stadium. It had just been announced right before this clip.

My dad loves baseball and kept trying to get me to like it. I am thankful for no Internet when I brought a book to a Mets game and also gave dirty looks to cheering children.

This is so cool. What a shock—girls not as dumb as people assume!

Nobody asks a woman why they chose to continue a pregnancy, even though that’s often a more emotionally, physically, and financially taxing decision. An abortion needs no more justification than “I don’t want to be pregnant” just like a pregnancy needs no more justification than “I want to bear a child”.

People like abortions as much as people like getting their teeth cleaned, getting a pap smear, getting their prostate checked. It’s not exactly the most pleasant experience for anyone, but it’s something you gotta do when you gotta do it.

The asshatery coming from the Forced-Birth movement really just dumbfounds me. It’s often the only thing I can’t “discuss” civilly with these neanderthals about IRL (I can entertain small govt, 2nd/1st amendment, etc. convos) because I know they do not, at all, give a single shit about the “sanctity” of life. They do…
