Haha, that's always been my line when guys ask me for it!

I have a lot of feels for this woman, who is Irish and was visiting. It takes a lot of guts, I think, to go to the police in a foreign country, file charges, and be willing to go through the whole legal process, even after she has returned home.

Also, why does EVERY guy seem to think ALL women HAVE to love anal? I'm starting to think guys who can't comprehend women not liking it feel that way because they like it so much.

Tangentially related:

It's funny watching them without the sound. It's so much more obvious how conscious they ar of not accidentally flashing the camera. So many of them look very uncomfortable. High stools and almost-mini-skirts isn't very practical.

they are doing it. there are a lot of "potty parity" laws that are based around the fact that you can cram far more urinals into a space than toilet bowls.

I can't tell if you're trolling but I mean, men don't have periods and don't have to sit to pee so...yeah.

You could argue that gender mainstreaming could encourage men to participate in some of these stereotypically female activities (like running errands related to caring for children or other family members) by making them less annoying to do.

Yep. There definitely NEEDS to be more communication between academics and the communities they serve. I study public policy (specifically those policies which affect minorities and women the most) and it's a duty I and many others in my discipline need to strive harder to do. It's easy to curl up in the ivory tower…

I don't think I'm egotistical. And since I am about a year out from professorship now I guess I should start working on that.

Hmm. Sorry you had a bad experience with your school. I had a lot of really wonderful professors.

While I can see a lot of people feeling that way, especially if you are speaking from the experience of the trans community, Judith Butler had a lot of important things to say. She created a language for a lot of us to use to discuss lived experiences that we might have otherwise not been able to discuss- even though…

Trololololol. Yes, you ALSO learn to think critically from "basic scientific training," but to suggest that humanities subjects like philosophy or English don't teach critical thinking is pretty absurd. Have you ever taken a philosophy or English or feminist/gender studies class, particularly at the college level?…

"because professors and other academics tend to be stuffy, egotistical assholes who think they're infallible."

That was mine too! I found it really empowering. I remember going for a drive with my dad one day. I was maybe 11. I had an announcement to make: "Dad, I have thought about this, and umm, when I grow up I want to be a writer. I am going to go to school for that and I probably won't be happy about my career until my…

Well, to be sure, some people really do learn better in an academic setting. But really, you've never taken a single WS class, yet you know how the professors are?
FTR, none of my women's studies professors were like what you described (indeed, few of my professors in any field were). While most were white, few were…

"you're really better off learning stuff outside of academic channels if you can manage to do so, because professors and other academics tend to be stuffy, egotistical assholes who think they're infallible." does not describe even one of my college professors from my women's studies major at a small liberal arts…

I'm sorry, you don't have a very high opinion of the liberal arts? Because literature and arts and languages and mathematics and science and philosophy and history are just so pointless?

"It's precisely women's studies that gives women the tools to think critically about precisely these distinctions between media portrayals of women and their lived experience."

Man the real problem with the lapdance thing is that you're explicitly breaking the rules and putting hands on a woman who can't or won't resist explicitly for the purpose of winning them as a sex partner. It's rapey as shit, and that the mechanics are basically rewarding you for this it reinforces a lot of creepy…
