The worst is how most men just. don't. get. it. They tell you you're making it up or overreacting or that you need a thicker skin or that you're being unfair to men.

It was a pain in the ass, but I definitely miss hurling my brown/green/clear bottles into huge containers.

I saw this at a local film festival. It was really beautiful and well done, although the characters were a little flat for my taste (especially the title character, really passive.)

Yeah, I love how Linda and his kids are the crazy irresponsible ones half the time.

A lot of guys expect blowjobs but are reluctant to return the favor. I've been asked for anal sex by almost every guy I've been with, and when I said "no", many of them acted like I was unreasonable or a prude for saying it.

It's because there is support for womens soccer all the way up to pro leagues. Not so much for women's baseball (is that even a thing?)

Definitely. I've helped teach kids in some intro to programming classes, and half the time they ask "I hate math, is that okay for programming?". I think it really helps to understand mathematical thinking — big O notation and the like — but I've never used any of the math I studied past algebra.

I have to say, I wasn't really a fan of any of them. Maybe it's because I read them in my 20s, but none of them packed the same emotional punch as The Giver.

Yeah, I've heard decent things about them until this.

It's just tone-deaf. I'm sure they genuinely thought that it might appeal to women, but based on the near universal recoiling in disgust I saw over this from tech spaces, they utterly failed. Even if we set aside the sexism issue, this is not a good way to interest women in your product.

Because this is a phone company, and they're putting on a beauty contest for women meant to titillate their (assumed) male-only audience. It's using (straight male focused) sex to sell something totally unrelated to sex.

I want to clarify that I am not a feminist though, far from it!

What is this? I love it!

Yeah, I'm Asian and no one in my family really uses deodorant and I've never noticed any of them really smelling, even when we've gone for a long time without showering (camping, etc).

Here's hoping that something will actually be done about it now that it's not just affecting one (female-oriented) site.

Yes. It came so close to being another sad story of a woman murdered by her ex. I'm so thankful that she was able to escape.

Wait, how does this work? How do you know the car is okay if you buy online?

What guts me is that the anime is based on a semi-autobiographical novel. These events really did happen (except that the boy lived).

Same, especially when Wash gets his own introduction.

If it's prolonged and intrusive (guy won't leave her alone), then I think getting in there and asking the girl if she's okay is a good, non-threatening solution. I'm a woman and when I do that, the harrasser generally slinks away quietly.
