I've always wondered this as well. I used to smoke weed with exes and hook up, and I've had a fair few drunken hookups with people I didn't really know that neither of us would consider rape or felt harmed by. Obviously if someone is passed out, unaware of what is happening, or otherwise...

I've come across people saying things like "teach men not to rape" in response to the problem of sexual assault in America. The more I see this idea, the less I like it. I feel like it genders rape, which I don't think is the way to go when dealing with it. I think looking at it from that...

I would agree with this. When I woke up this morning and re-read my post and his post, I had a moment of "what the hell was I thinking last night" and "ugh now I gotta commit to this." I really misread his post, basically. I thought he was saying that the entire wage gap concept came from women...

Not going to bother quoting at this point. I agree that the person this thread is about is misguided and going about things the wrong way, I also agree that trying to solve false problems takes away from the actual problems women (and other groups) face. I don't get it though. I think trying to...

I'm not a feminist either. I don't think you're sexist because of that. I think you're sexist because you can't acknowledge that women face problems in our society because of their gender. Both genders do. Fact is fact. I'm not insulting you, I'm just calling it what it is. You're trying to...

He says that women in male dominated industries sometimes don't succeed simply because they're crap at their job. That can be said of any group of people in any profession; so why bring up that example in the first place? He also says that suggesting that women in these industries are less hard...

This is just straight up old-fashioned sexism. Men can also be crap at their jobs. Being crap at a job is in no way related to one's gender. There's still a wage gap, and that accounts for both men and women who are terrible at their jobs. There is no sub population of women that are championing...

All degrees are inherently valid and worthwhile. What's wrong with teaching your field of study being the only available job? Teaching is an awesome career for some people. Who cares if some degrees make less money than others? The monetary value of different jobs is an arbitrary standard set by...

I love dates. I talk about pretty much anything that comes to mind. Adversity, their career aspirations or current career, what they were like in college, their interests, whether or not they still party, and I kind of screen them for latent racism and sexism. Like everyone is racist/sexist to a...

Omg this post. Okay. So first, your wage gap example is disingenuous. And I'm just going to repost one of your examples, because right in it there is evidence provided that there is a wage gap. http://social.dol.gov/blog/myth-busting-the-pay-gap/ Did you actually read this link? For your...

Are we talking about old cartoons? I love that stuff. The Rugrats was probably my favorite. I find that it's still kind of funny to watch as an adult because you suddenly understand the adult parts of the show, like the time grandpa Lou rented a porno. Digimon was probably my other favorite...

Alfieri is literally Yuusuke Urameshi.

It doesn't determine one's intelligence, but it does have a big impact on how people form opinions and relate to the world. I never said it determined anyone's intelligence. People have more extreme opinions that may not have been thought through as much or exposed to counter points the younger...

Wrath, greed, pride, lust, sloth, envy, and pride? I don't understand why you think people deserve death for these things. First of all, in moderate amounts, most of these aren't even bad and can in fact be adaptive. If you didn't value money and attaining money (greed), for instance, then you'd...
