I am a man and when I saw that video, I cringed and turned it off. I just forced myself to watch it in its entirety. It was pretty difficult. I really can’t imagine anyone thinking it was hilarious, but that probably wasn’t the point.

I think the stupid thing men do is pine for women they’re either not going to get or not going to get back. Men do this more than women. The stupid thing that women do is get with and stay with men they should not be with. Women do this more than men.

Iceland’s economy is doing really poorly. Perhaps their recent wave of tourism is helping and my opinion is outdated. But I sometimes muse about writing a children’s book about Iceland making a concerted effort to produce my superstars to prop up the rest of the country.

“potential future son.” So, are you in a relationship? Would you not expect to be with a man who would hopefully be a proper role model for your son? Or are you considering adopting as a single parent, or perhaps you are not heterosexual.

You know, since I also had high school lockerroom anxiety regarding my body and underwear, I really do not think it is creepy for me to speculate that current children have similar issues. Another female commenter here commented to me that when she was 9 years old in 1971, she had tremendous anxiety over having some…

I think that men have a lot fewer choices than you might imagine. Sometimes women ask me what my “type” is. I suppose I have a type, but I really have to wonder what percentage of men can have a type and can realistically date according to that type. I think that women can much more successfully date according to…

I absolutely do not think that girls’ locker rooms are giggle fests. If I had to speculate, I would think that all high school locker rooms are cauldrons of anxiety. Yeah, friends are sensitive to their friends’ feelings, I would imagine that enemies and non-friends would not be. I do on occasion hear a girl tease her…

Yeah, nothing teaches us how to be men. The traditional rules of dating have become passe and it can be very hard to navigate the current dating rituals since so much of it depends on looks, serendipity, and not looking like you care. I also think that comedians and rock stars tend to come from unhappy or troubled…

Well, which musicians do you find non-boring?

Do you mean rich people will pay a store to open during non-business hours so they can shop in privacy?

When I see kids at the beach wearing tshirts over their swimsuits I assume that they have negative body image. It is hard to believe anyone not coming to that conclusion. When I see kids leaving school in their PE uniforms I assume they have anxiety over their bodies and/or underwear. It is hard to believe anyone not…

There’s a brief scene in “Being John Malkovich” where the viewers are travelling through Malkovich’s mind. There is a high school memory of the locker room where a very scrawny young Malkovich is being taunted by all of the other boys as “Malkobitch.” It is really the only part of the movie I can remember. Yes it is…

So if a young single woman says, “I am a supportive traditionalist, I choose to be the submissive wife to a good man,” you would support that as a feminist choice?

That sounds awful, thanks for sharing. I am surprised that 9 year old girls in 1971 were wearing training bras. I think I read that a very low percentage of Japanese women wear bras, and a surprisingly high percentage of American women really don’t even need to wear bras, but do for cultural reasons. That I can…

Because I am a douchebag. Is that what you are thinking? Is that what you really want to talk about? I am a man, and I definitely do believe that the patriarchy exists and is not some meaningless buzzword.

Yeah, she is not topless, she is clearly wearing a sexy, uh, garment, but the extent of its revealingness is actually similar to the black gown she is wearing in this article’s other photograph.

Re: women throwing their underwear at rock musicians.

I think that women’s underwear is just plain inherently more sexual than men’s underwear. I teach high school history, and in the textbook is a photograph of men at the army induction center lining up in their underwear. I really cannot imagine a similar photograph of women in their underwear being allowed in a high…

Hi, you question “feminism is all about women making choices,” and you mention time and how things can seem feminist at one time and not at others. I am a man and I think we largely agree.

Yeah, your opinion seems bold, and I and many others are wondering what you meant. I am a man, and a lot of people don’t care what I think. But it does seem that if saying feminism is all about women making choices, it seems to me that sometimes those choices can be decidedly unfeminist.
