I teach high school and when I hear a kid call someone a nerd, dork, etc. I say "you're calling him/her a nerd now but you know what you're going to call him/her in ten years? BOSS". That shuts that shit down right quick.

Wait until your 40s, they're kind of awesome. I want to write a parody Dr. Seuss about it called, "Oh! All The Fucks You Won't Give!"
Part of what men who threaten to rape need is to hear other men saying it's not okay. To not be supported by a crowd when they throw something like that out there (I really liked seeing men in the crowd doing the across-the-throat "cut it out" gesture). It's not about protecting the little wimmins, it's about standing…
I know, wasn't the audience's reaction the heartwarmingest?? Surprised hell out of me, but pleasantly so. It raises one's faith in humanity by 2 notches to think that the That's Not OK message has fiiiiinally started to sink in— into one of the cultures where it is needed most.
While I sort of get your sentiment, I appreciate any and all genuine public shows of alliance and outrage, especially from men who aren't misogynists.
Ok, I do not advocate owning wild or exotic animals but GET ME A FOX RIGHT FUCKING NOW
I'd like to know where you live because I don't know a single woman who wishes that men would all "just die" or who takes their existence for granted. (I do know one dude though. He's gay. And he hates men and thinks they should all be rounded up and sent to camps for "forced re-education". Charming fellow.)
I find it interesting that they cast a pretty average-looking guy and a few actually quite attractive-looking women - AND still delivered the gross, dehumanizing experience.
"The children were traumatized by these pamphlets on the same day that a baby cow was on campus as part of a lesson on dairy farming."
You're in way, way, way less danger of being raped compared to the women of India who get leered at. And as for me here in the states, I don't mind if a guy seems interested but who likes to be stared at? And it sucks when men feel they are obligated to something from me or don't get the hint/don't care that I'm not…
Try imagining that you can't tell the difference between a gay guy and a gay-basher because there's too much overlap between the groups. You can't tell whether what he wants to do with your body involves consent or assault.
It doesn't FOR YOU. You are not a woman, and I am guessing that you've never had a fellow gay guy yell threats or insults at you after staring. If we don't give the "right response" that is likely to happen. Context is everything here. And there is also a difference between playfully looking at people and being…
I had three mice that were awesome. They would run over my shoulder and then hide in my shirt pocket and poke their little noses out. I really gained a respect for them when one of them became very ill. He went blind and then could only walk in circles. The other two would actually come over to him and sandwich…
You mean they made this the best nativity scene EVER.
Peter Sarsgaard SARS Guards!
I still can't really wrap my head around the fact that men aren't expected to be able to control themselves around a skirt and yet it's women who shouldn't be trusted with nuclear codes because of periods.
In my opinion, every shop needs a shopcat.
I don't care what anyone else says. I love Gaga. Unabashedly.
