My PMDD is incredibly debilitating, too. It REALLY throws off your life to be totally immobilized by depression every few weeks. As soon as I would start making traction on a goal I would lose all momentum. For what it’s worth, anti-depressants really, really helped me.

Pros: His face freaks me the fk out.

Thank you for this. I had a similar experience, I internalized blame because I had been drinking and flirting, and then I tried to act the same as before because he was acting like nothing happened and frankly *I couldn't deal with it,* defaulting to my usual behavior while I was screaming inside was the best I could…

Exactly, they mark up the food. The only people who pay the price are those who wouldn't tip well otherwise. Those who always tip 20% anyway, such as myself, don't notice a difference, and most importantly, the wait staff is guaranteed the 20% they should be able to count on anyway. Seems reasonable enough to me.

The $10 option is just a guarantee, like base pay for salespeople, so they aren't totally screwed if business is unusually slow in a given day/pay period. he pays them whichever is higher, the intent being the 20 percent.

Because it's satire? Because it's a song about what it's like being a woman in the music industry, so she portrayed women in the music industry? Having a combination of men and women being sexualized would not have made a strong point about women's objectification specifically. Turning it on its head and objectifying…

I hear you, but the thing is that there isn't a hard fast rule that every time someone calls out sexism or racism they are 100% automatically right. There are multiple legitimate perspectives on this and it isn't really reasonable to expect everyone to just shut up and agree with my take. It's reasonable to expect…

But this is *about sexism*, so of course all the dancers are female?

Hmm. So if it had been white women's bodies being used to satirize objectification it would have been ok? If we accept that it's a satire of sexism, doesn't that include the objectification of women of color? Shouldn't it?

There's ironic sexism where something is sexist with a wink, and then there's deliberate satire,…

Sorry if my comment just reiterated what you've already said. I didn't read the whole thread, just wanted to address the question of "is it wrong for her to like it?" and why I feel like no, it isn't, but street harassment is still wrong.

It isn't wrong that she likes whatever she likes, but it's still wrong on the part of the guys cat-calling her. It isn't really even surprising that some women enjoy being cat-called in a culture that tells us that our value is tied to our attractiveness to men. But we also live in a culture where women are told to…

Mormons don't have anything against modern medicine. :/

Oh I LOVE good kissing. Nothing worse than a bad kisser, it's like this massive disappointment. :) But yeah, we all have our things that really get us going, ain't nothing wrong with that.

HAHA best comment.

Yay, feminism, let's over-compensate for slut shaming by making women who happen to not be that into sex feel inadequate and wrong!

THIS.

I really enjoy dancing. You don't enjoy that activity as much as I do? What the fuck is wrong with you!?!??!

More well-rounded, fully-realized female characters that aren't primarily there to add sex appeal. If avatars are customizable, offer a female option. A good game is a good game and you will find that a lot of women are interested in the same types of things you are. I think of gaming as an entertainment medium like…

I think there's some definite truth to that. I did leave, and it wasn't easy, and the fact that it wasn't easy added to what ultimately made me want to leave. :) I'm just saying it isn't as simple as "just leave then." These are people's lives. There are a plethora of reasons one might choose to stay (family, culture,…
