Is Helen Mirren stalking you? You should alert the authorities.

Oh ffs. You really are bloody obtuse as well as in dire need of an editor.

does everything always have to be political?

I suggest chopping your head off. You don’t appear to be using it.

What is the social concern?

I WANT to tell bros stop spitting everywhere because I find it disgusting. I WANT to scold bicyclists that ride through campus because it’s dangerous to pedestrians. However, I don’t. I realize that my wishes and their wishes carry equal weight. But keep on feeling aggrieved that Mirren’s opinion trampled on your…

Saying that is simply a coy way of saying “do this.” It’s basically giving herself an out.

No. That’s offering an opinion, not a solution. “I want to say” isn’t doing anything. And the toddler remark has to do with women’s power as a group in the world, which is sadly correct. Globally we are in a terrible state. But please, explain your superior perspective on women’s issues. The wanting to divorce…

Mirren is offering her interpretation of a particular behavior. How is that “policing” anything?

I think if she’s happy in her marriage, then that’s great. But the article made me feel sad for her, and wish she didn’t feel so unattractive. She states that she’s the less attractive partner as if that’s just a fact. But it isn’t. I looked up pictures of her and she’s really cute. She’s an attractive woman. I was…

He is attracted to her personality/mind but not objectively attracted to her body.

I don’t know if I’d worry about cheating, but either way that’s not really a relationship dynamic I’m interested in. Like when I like someone’s personality and everything but not really their body, the attraction still comes along with that. Even if I know I wouldn’t pick their body out in a crowd if they were a…

There can be a spectrum though. I suspect I’m more attracted to my partner than he to me (though I think I may just have more physical attraction to go around than he does, or externalize it differently) but it doesn’t mean there’s no physical component on his side.

How do you know Prince Charles isn’t, and wasn’t, physically attracted to Camilla?

Of course you can be sexy without being considered conventionally attractive. Attractiveness is highly subjective. Like my sister finds her husband super sexy but he isn’t conventionally attractive by any stretch of the imagination. (Sorry sibling) .

I confess I would be really uncomfortable being with a guy who didn’t find me physically attractive. I’d always worry that he would cheat with someone who he did find physically attractive. I want to feel sexy in a relationship. I want to feel wanted and lusted after by the dude I’m with. I want him to look at me like…

Nobody NEEDS to enjoy anything they, in fact, do not enjoy. Peace be with you though.

Yes. It’s never enough to say, “this is how it is.” I think that we as human beings still have this blind spot.

I god I once asked a straight friend in college why guys put their arms around their girlfriends in public and his response was, “to show other guys that she’s taken.”

^ This. It follows a gendered pattern. Like, saying “it’s just that couple’s business” is like someone pointing out that women end up doing most of the childcare and other people getting all butthurt because in THEIR relationship it’s totally a choice based on mutual preference. Also, you’re doing that shit in public…
