I read your entire post. I agree with so much of what you said regarding strict gender roles and the ridiculous worth applied to a woman's virginity (hell, and in certain countries women are KILLED for not being virgins when married). It blows my mind that this kind of attitude exists in our modern world.

That video is PREPOSTEROUS! I laughed my ass off, loved it.

Yeah...wish I had an answer for you. I agree, it is complicated. Thankfully I am happily married and don't have to deal with this crap anymore, but I do remember how much dating sucked.

I just don't understand the Gene Simmons hair situation. I don't get it. He and Donald Trump.

They do, they do. So, who's next?

key word in your statement: CHOSE. She CHOSE to be sodomized.

Go Satanists!

You are so off it's not even funny. Here let me womansplain to you.

Wow, I am seeing SO MUCH PROJECTING HERE. So far the author has been charged with being a hypocrite, a misandrist, and an all-around nasty person.

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

Ahh...Edna St Vinvent Millay.

BITE YOUR TONGUE!!

I don't find fault with her reaction. At my age, I would've been gone before he came back, but I find that being comfortable with confrontation takes some time and practice, and many young women are not used to it.

That does nothing to stop gender discrimination.

Yes, so logical and linear. Let's tell women looking for investors to just go to the very small group of women investors and not the men investors. So men can keep funding the men and not have to bother with women. PROBLEM SOLVED!

Hey, it was over 20 years ago. I've learned a lot since then about myself and human nature, and the nature of abusive relationships, and never got myself into another situation like that.

Please remove the cat from this man's home and I will gladly adopt it.

Wow, this is fucking awful! Yeah, he will get money but so what? I'm sure he would rather have his penis. His entire life is changed.

Mmmmm... things are just never that black and white. Let me give you an example and you tell me if it's equally shitty.

Except...this one time I used to work with a woman whose teeth clicked together after EVERY bite. I lie not. EVERY BITE her teeth would loudly click together. I can't tell you how much that got under my skin. I ate very fast so I could leave before I did or said something stupid, it was that irritating. I have no idea…
