Whether I agree with her opinions or not, I think asking older women—especially one of Greer’s background— to sit down and let the young’uns take over is a bit much, too.
Let her talk and defend her views, or let her talk and change her views. If we just tell her to sit down and shut up, old lady with outdated views,…

While it’s not a “free speech” issue (could be some argument, is this a government run school?). She should definitely be allowed to speak.....and made to feel she isn’t welcomed and a damned bigot.
Transphobia is more than just a disagreement or freedom of speech. It’s dangerous ignorance. Imagine if there was a speech on how homophobia is a mental disease. If people are respecting gays now, then transpeople need that respect too. This mentality is not just a point of view. It’s fuel to transphobic crimes. Trans…
Greer Garson??
Yeah her reasoning isn’t sound at all but I understand not wanting to cater to student petitions given that colleges have begun being so pc as to drown out the right to free speech. Canceling her would be giving into the urge to keep anyone from being offended at all costs. On the other hand if she is transphobic in…
And this design had to get past many, many people in the design and marketing world before it got to retail, right? WTF.
I’ve heard of a time where a single mother didn’t want her daughter to go to a friend’s sleepover because the friend’s father was there. The mother didn’t say there were any accusations or creepy vibe from him. She just didn’t want her daughter to be in the same house as a man even through the mother would be there.…
It’s not about what they want. It’s what they NEED.
When I was 31, I dated a women ten years younger. I thought it would make me feel younger (it didn’t.)
It’s unfortunate, but looks will always be men’s main priority in picking dates. Everything else is secondary. Personality, common interests, kindness, etc. just help to narrow down which 20 year old to pursue first.
Yes! I hate it when my husband compliments my looks. Like, if he thinks I did a good job on my eyeshadow or something, that’s cool, but a generic “you’re so beautiful” isn’t really a compliment, because I had nothing to do with creating my nose or whatever. Tell me I’m smart or funny or nice; that actually took…
This tells me she was 100% right in not wanting him to have visitation. This sucks.
I don’t get it either. But I also think why some men who always seem to go after younger women, is that it’s not just about looks. When you’re younger, you also tend to be more naive, and up for more things. Not that that stuff is a bad thing, but some men take advantage of that. They want the younger women, because…
Twenty something year olds I AM SO SORRY that old dudes are contacting you. Eew, you have to deal with that. I’m in my mid thirties and NO ONE is contacting me. It’s great spending Saturday nights shampooing my cat. I got her tropical breeze shampoo so when she sits on my chest while I watch netflix it’s ALMOST like…
I mean, the good thing about this is that according to the chart, in approximately one-two more years, creepy old men will stop hitting on me in order to hit on women slightly younger than me.
I think that most of people that want someone decades younger want a trophy, not a relationship.
We had some college kids living downstairs from us for a while and empirically speaking, they were attractive. They were lovely to look at. But the few times that I wound up having a conversation with one or the other of them, I just couldn’t get over how they were basically just children. I’m 33, and the idea of…
If you think that there aren’t 45 year old men listening to Green Day and eating hotdogs and ramen, then I envy your optimism about the human condition.
I’ve had an OkC profile on and off since I was 21 and I’m 25 now and I haven’t really noticed getting any fewer messages now than I did then. And from older female friends, I haven’t heard of any dramatic drop-off at 26 or 27 either.
