Why are you so passionate about preserving the right to use a slur? There is a whole lot of better insults to use.

I think because of the Elliot Rodgers thing I'm feeling inclined to side eye a lot of the people giving Jonah Hill a pass because he was just mad and frustrated. How many whiny dudes came into spaces like to complain we were so mean and man hating for being upset at all the misogyny in our culture and using or…

Yet when women discuss how awful street harassment feels we get told "it's not a big deal" "you should be flattered" or "not all men!"

Thank you! A spaghetti strap top is not going to be acceptable attire at the vast majority of workplaces. It doesn't matter what body type she has. As someone who wears a G cup, I really hate and am offended by the common perception that women with large breasts look inappropriate, which is really just a sanitized…

Great comment. The trolls we get here think that our feminist worldview has never been challenged before. Which of course is bullshit. The whole rest of the world tells us we're wrong or over reacting on a regular basis. We don't magically forget this the second we enter a site like this and the trolls here have…

So, in your opinion CNN is the epitome of objective? You are mistaking balance for objectivity. As Isaac Asimov said:

10 months is an exaggeration but yeah, it's pretty rough.

You are definitely not over reacting. I don't have any advice for how to stop him, but don't let him gaslight you! If he knows how much it bothers you and still does it, you might want to consider breaking up with him because that's arguably abusive behavior.

I don't have a good story of my own so I'll tell my friend's. Recently she went on her honeymoon. They had a layover in LA and visited a friend. Their friend has a medical marijuana license and gave them some edibles to eat before the flight. My friend got way too high and once they boarded she got so paranoid…

Nooo! Alice was by far the best character on the Brady Bunch. I just hope she lost consciousness immediately and didn't feel pain :(

I love it when one sexist troll fails to grasp the sarcasm of another sexist troll.

Ugh. What is it with New Yorkers who think every other part of the country is a conservative red neck infested hellhole? Maybe I'm biased because I'm a progressive Minneapolitan, but I've never been anywhere else that has a more progressive feel. I was actually shocked at how common homophobia was when I got to…

Paul Elam's "Bash a Violent Bitch Month" suggests otherwise.

That does suck. I fit into standard sizes and I'm still larger than a DD.

How is existing in your body while wearing situationally appropriate attire flaunting? Swimming or laying out in a huge t-shirt isn't comfortable. Why should be thinking of your personal preferences when they go out? It's none of your business what anybody else wears. If you don't like it, avert your eyes.

It could be because cats are more quiet. Some places require that cats be spayed and neutered. It's cats that aren't that spray.

That's all well and good but it isn't realistic for everyone. Not everyone has the time and/or money to take martial arts classes. Disabled people can be victims of sexual violence as well. In fact they are more likely to be victimized than people who aren't disabled. That's why shifting the burden onto people to…

I also wonder if the majority of male murder victims are involved with gangs and/or drugs. Men who live in high crime areas most likely have as much to fear as women but men who live in safer areas are likely able to go through their lives without fearing violence and harassment.

Well said. I'm not constantly cowering in fear of anything, but there's a part of my mind that asks itself whether the man walking past me or sitting by me on the bus is going to be harass. That's because it is happened so many damn times. That's not paranoia, it's realism. If a man's behavior displays no red…

Purebred Siberian Huskies are a minority of the total dog population so I'm not sure what your point is. Are you such a special snowflake that your dog's poop smells like roses?
