I think dudes who try to discredit women didn't need a study to be all lolhormones.

I /love/ how many responses are "This isn't about the death threats to Anita S., it's about Zoe Quinn! But also, Anita's points suck and she sucks and I hate her. I wouldn't email a death threat to her, but I really need to make known that I disagree with her in this post, which is absolutely not about her but about…
Readers are not a subculture. The internet, by its very build, needs you to read in order to be a part of it. A more apt analogy would be if the New York Times piece was like "upper-middle-class WASPs don't have to be your audience." Which, I would heartily approve.
One thing about putting it in your coffee, start with little amounts and work your way up. Otherwise, you will be weeping poop.
What @crashfrog said. I was pretty gung ho about men and women having similar sex drives too, but it turns out to be pretty inaccurate in basically any sexual study done on genders that I've found.
I agree with most of your points except that "lesbian bed death" is totally a "thing." I've found that it is WIDELY complained about in LGBT circles, by lesbians, who get pissed that their relationships always seem to fizzle out sexually at the 1-2 year mark. Not all lesbian relationships fizzle out, just like not…
I know, right? I mean, have they just been watching so much anime that they don't realize the eye manipulation only ends up looking creepy?
Damn, we have somebody getting insulted when someone's insulting him for being insulting. /sarcasm
Oh man, I got it from the dishwashers too. I was a hostess and had to wear heels regularly for the first time in my life. At some point one night, I slipped on the stairs going down to the kitchen and tumbled down them. The first thing the first dishwasher who saw me did was to squat down and rub my leg from calf up…
So, except for the kiddy rides part, my cousins, my siblings and I used to do this every other summer (we'd switch between Disney, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott's).
That one person telling everybody to just go and die to "thin out the herd" is a dick (and ironically for this thread, the very thing the author was afraid Katie Couric's documentary would be about), but other than that jerk's idiot diatribes, some good points have been raised.
Fellow NYUer here: I had the (un)luck of meeting some NYU newly grads here in Shanghai recently, and one of them was like "yeah, I'm like, so poor now but at least I can still afford not to have to move to the boroughs."
And my eyes rolled so hard I actually fell off my chair.
I remember the Hong Kong people being the…
What I hated was the people who would expect $5 back from you almost immediately, but then always conveniently forgot when they owed you anything. It's like, if you do you not have an appreciation of other people's money, you really shouldn't act like a Scrooge. Big red flag.
I think it's probably relevant to consider where people from Duke (the college that student who had the resume-cleaning friend) tend to apply to go work. Granted, most of the kids I know there are Asian American, but they mostly ended up in either D.C. or New York (or, if Chicago, a financial institute there). Blue…
If any of the conversations I've had with office workers in blue chip companies are any indication, it IS a pretty bad idea, especially for the kinds of jobs you would be applying to from an elite university. I don't know if this person's friend should be the one getting the rage for the inequities in the class…
I'm a girl gamer and I'll be the first to say that having a lead you can identify with really helps your enjoyment of a game. I love the Assassin's Creed line too, but it has been a bit of a bummer that they haven't made a (main console) game with a female protagonist yet.
Maybe someone already mentioned this (I didn't read through all the comments), but I think the juxtaposition is that a lot of the world, including the world these wives and girlfriends inhabit, have moved on from letter writing and phone calls as the main form of long-distance social interaction. This means that wives…
Actually, there are people trolling and I hate them but the point that someone who plays Farmville for 30 minutes shouldn't maybe count into the 45% "gamers" figure makes sense to me, especially in the context of having three-dimensional female protagonists.
The issue is that, since its a new medium, gaming just…
My god, that's a lot of meanness in you.
Anecdotally, I used to work as a hostess in a Tribeca restaurant and all the women there were very into the ugly/not ugly dichotomy.
One of the girls there actually said something along the lines of how she only hangs out with pretty people because it makes her happier to not have to see ugly ones.
