Neither do I. I feel more annoyed about bus lane cameras, that petrol may go up by 2p a litre and that I thought I had more than a week to finish a project than I do about Facebook. It's a free service so I expect to be a "product."

I seem to be the odd one out here, but I honestly don't care that Facebook 'did' this to users. A few more often positive words, a few more often negative words, and now I'm supposed to flip my shit over an admittedly interesting experiment? So what? How is my life today at all affected for it? I don't think I would…

So right! This morning, I took a bus downtown to do some shopping. From the minute I went to catch my bus until I walked to catch my bus home, I had to navigate a fucking obstacle course of assholes. My encounters were as follows:

Even if parents aren't progressive enough to teach their daughters about safe sex they still do teach them precautions. So even conservative families like mine and your wife, we get the how not to get raped talk even if sex isn't discussed. That is why it's annoying to hear some dude or woman give us that advice which…

I apologize, because you're right, I did overreact. And I absolutely agree that women and men's experience are completely difference. A man would have to be seriously lacking in empathy to think otherwise. I just don't know any women that would claim that they are the victim of sexual assault on a daily basis.

Actually I have very conservative muslim mother who won't discuss sex with me but has given me advice on how to not get raped. Make sure i'm not alone with a dude, never to put my drink down(not alcoholic drink, just any drink), not to dress or act in a suggestive manner so it doesn't give some guy the wrong idea…

You mean I responded to your inane insults appropriately.

A lot of guys don't understand how their average behaviors trigger fear in women. How they unconsciously position their body to block a way to an exit for the woman they are "just talking to". They will misread body language of the woman, so when the woman placates the man out of fear with a smile they then go in…

Okay, other men don't think they DESERVE to fight you. Has anyone ever told you that wearing certain clothes will make other men want to fight you? Has anyone ever told you that you were were playfully wrestling with a guy earlier, so when he beat your ass later you must have wanted it? Has anyone ever asked you if…

I got into an uncomfortable work-lunch discussion several week back about rape. One of the young men I work with (I work in tech, most of my coworkers are young men) said that he didn't believe rape statistics and that rape is usually just regret. A couple of the other guys were trying to get him to understand reality…

I read this comment first and then went back to find bitchyolympian's original comment and I gotta say, she's totally right that it happens literally everyday. I can't speak for other women and this probably has a lot to do on what a person looks like, where they live, etc but I am definitely harassed everyday. I work…

define 'violence' - because most men don't classify the everyday harrassment women deal with as 'violence'. have you been followed home by a stranger? had a stranger comment on your body, your clothes, your face, your hair? have you been commanded to 'smile' on demand? have you been hollered at by passing vehicles?…

How is this a bad thing? Men don't have to take the same type of precautions as woman because we are not at the same constant risk of sexual assault.

Your post scrolled past retrieval, but a reply is in order...

Men like you make me just plain feel better. I'm lucky that no matter how many shitty experiences I've had, I also know many caring and empathetic men. I've had men who want to make sure I'm never in a situation where I am scared and at risk, these are good men. But just plain compassion is an amazing response.

Other men don't think they're entitled to fight you. That is the gigantic difference in our experiences.

OH MY FUCKING GOD DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN YOUR COMMENTS TO YOU?? Can you just read your own shit and figure out the context of the answer I already gave you?

"Let me give this really awesome Tublr address! It's all about lentils and they can cure cancer and stop sexual assault!"

yep, there is nothing like a man following you literally to your doorstep and having to make it seem like you aren't going into an empty apartment.

Holy crud, you guys - that was like a checklist of my life! Down to the getting the keys out and opening the door to say, "Hello!" when I get home! (Granted, I'm kind of half talking to my dog, but...!)
