That doesn’t hold water for me because images of naked people are everywhere in our world. I see unsolicited naked pics of men on the internet all the time without asking for them. Not to mention all of the sexual images in the media, tv, movies, etc. Furthermore has it been established that she is [...]

Thank you I thought I was the only one who was offended by some of these. Everyone is different and needs to heal in different ways but under the right conditions (including genuine concern) many of those questions and discussions can be totally valid and totally helpful.

I’m totally confused there isn’t more defense for this man. What he did was somewhat inappropriate but hardly a major offense or anything that will permanently ruin this woman’s life. What she did could very well ruin his. You can’t on one hand claim the moral high ground and on the other take actions that [...]

Quote: As my ten-year-old daughter, Izzy, and I listened to coverage of the rally on NPR, she commented, “I don’t understand why employers wouldn’t pay women the same salaries they pay men.” I had a difficult time answering her. You missed the boat on this one – the EPA was huge and is saving us [...]

I’m not sure I agree it’s easier for consumers to fight sexism in games than for us to push for the gender dynamics of the tech industry to change. Wouldn’t it be easier to: a) vote with our dollars (buy / don’t buy based on sexism in the game) and even better b) start our [...]

Oh and some of the research does get into what you said – i.e., the woman has always made more – because some look at younger couples and women coming out of college, etc. I agree causes for things can be hard to pinpoint and some studies don’t make the distinction but it’s wrong to [...]

Not true at all (in terms of age of studies). There are studies from 2013 that show this – e.g., the recent Chicago study that feministing report on showing 40% of households with children have a female primary breadwinner also showed these same kind of results. Hanna Rosin, in her book ‘The End of Men’, [...]

Why do you say anecdotal when there have been plenty of studies showing increased divorce rates and lower happiness levels for couples where the primary breadwinner is a woman? Most show it’s women that have a harder time with it – e.g., seeing their partner as less of a man or not contributing enough. We’ve [...]

I hate to be nitpicking but the headline and info in your post is not accurate as currently stated. It isn’t that 40% of households have the Mom as the breadwinner, it’s that 40% of households WITH CHILDREN have a Mom as the breadwinner. Doesn’t change the significance much I know but considering the number [...]

They probably took off and left these women to raise the child on their own.

I think it’s more that we automatically assume every male is a pervert and that any man wearing that shirt must be a creep. Whereas an attractive woman like Rihanna wearing that shirt – well that’s hot. Sexy is ok for women right but not for men for some reason. Ironic that men are bound [...]

That only makes sense if you believe that masterbating or images of masturbation are wrong which is something I think we would all contend. Moreso I don’t support ideas about what people are allowed to see in public – sounds similar to not wanting to see black people or women or tattoos or short skirts [...]

That was how I took it too until I read the article here. I still want to give her the benefit of the doubt though. And as an Asian myself I emphasize with some of her thoughts on this.

Women can be put into the friend zone by men too. Feministing (maybe community?) even had an article on this recently that really resonated with me. I don’t like over entitled guys but I don’t feel like laughing in the face of people who have been hurt either. It doesn’t feel very nice when someone [...]

Don’t see why anyone would be surprised. Until these nuns and other women start to leave the church en mass – e.g., to start or join another church, I can’t see why it would ever change. Remember that to most of these fanatics it isn’t something that’s up to them. It comes down from God [...]

Can someone clarify how “hook-up” culture is “white”? I’m not white myself so I dunno if that’s why but I don’t see how this is specific to a given race or culture.

I definitely agree that it isn’t a branding problem but rather that alot of people don’t like or agree with alot of what feminism today believes in. Sure most people agree with giving equal opportunity to men/women but feminism is so much more then that now. And it is many of these other ideas that [...]

While I agree with you, if those goes ahead some of what you say is not in fact true – e.g.: My son has had a passport since 6 months old. Most children I know have passports. Maybe there parents have it but they could a) apply for one themself ahead of time, or b) [...]

How is it that everyone – including this list – is missing Liz Carmouche who competed in the UFC (as part of the first professional female fight) a few months ago and who is openly gay. This was a big story within the MMA community and elsewhere and she was/is heralded as a champion for [...]

Because unless you make them comfortable WITHIN the movement why would they participate? I’m not saying to gloss over or ignore issues but rather to actually listen and engage with them. To not dismiss them just b/c they are male. To listen to their viewpoints and not immediately just turn around and tell them they [...]
