I love your comics so much! I put the one about Poe and Verne up in my office and then I was the most popular girl there and got promoted to CEO as a direct result. Kate Beaton is the best!

Fuck this shit, GO USA!!!!!! We beat the shit out of Germany and are going to the finals!

No. Ever heard a guy called a “pussy” for being a coward, told he “threw like a girl” for being bad at sports, or told to “stop being a little bitch” for acting too emotional? It’s not just about attracting women.

Yeah, I kept waiting for an article about the last US game, and nothing

The Enigma at Amigura Fault terrified me for a while. I kept imagining a hole appearing in my wall at home and a hideously deformed wiggly person tumbling out at me.

I was just thinking about this series recently while rewatching Planet Earth. The concept and premise for these books is fantastic. I agree that Fire Sea is heads and shoulders the best one (I remember staying up all night with a flashlight to finish it), but the other 3 that introduce the worlds are pretty good as…

I completely agree. Sure, we place more emphasis on a woman’s looks, but I fucking hate that we factor in a person’s appearance at all when judging their self worth. And you’re right that we judge men for this as well.

This would be amazing on the Hololens or some other augmented reality headset

Dune is my favorite book, and I gotta say that I love the David Lynch movie intensely even if it does butcher the story.

I was the same way. I think my mom would have been really supportive of me, actually, but I always hid it from her because I thought she would be angry with me.

I remember being 12, walking home in shorts and a tank top after just having gotten my hair cut, and a guy in a van honked at me, rolled down the window and yelled “nice!” out the window.

Yeah, I remember how ashamed and dirty I’d feel, like it was happening because it was my fault.

Yep, I remember all the stupid fake stories about the one girl in 5th grade who developed early. Everyone treated her like shit.

Yes. When this happened to me, I felt like it was my fault, that I’d done something wrong to bring this onto me.

One huge thing that dads can do is demonstrate how they want men to treat their daughters. Make it clear that that you don’t see dressing a certain way as an invitation to lewd behavior, that you respect other women and above all else, that you value women for something other than looks.

But that’s exactly what institutionalized sexism looks like. Not some evil, cackling consortium of men who are out to get women, but a system where it’s easier for men to get ahead and that caters to male views and desires simply because most of the creators are male.

You should try asking female friends this question. I bet they wouldn’t be surprised by the statistics, and I bet half of them would tell you that they’ve been sexually assaulted (unwanted, forcible sexual contact)

Oh yeah, definitely. The overriding principle seems to be that the almighty dick rules all. If you touch one once, you are doomed to be gay(if you're male) or straight (if you're female).

I'm guessing from your username that you're female? I think that our society is far more accepting of female bisexuality than of male bisexuality. Men who are bisexual get accused of being secretly gay, so I could definitely see why a guy would feel hesitant to disclose this to a female partner.

I came here to ask the exact same thing
