As a guy, I have never had an issue with cutting ties with people I have no desire to associate with. Why would I want to be friends with a bitch ex on facebook? It makes no sense at all to maintain connections.
If you were stupid enough to go out with a dude who likes Nickleback, then you deserve everything coming to you. I don’t care what kind of goggles you have on. Liking Nickleback is the emergency break that never fails on the relationship shuttle.
So much of this. He comes off sounding like a petulant little child who has been told he has to share his toys. And do I sense a little resentment there? Because as much as he says he wants his friend to end up with a girl like this, he’s not putting much effort into making it happen.
You are the reason why Jezebel is never taken seriously. Of course trolls are going to attack them. Jezebel makes themselves an easy target because they are so ridiculous all the time. This is straight up a tech issue. It has no connotations of being a gender issue. And how the site handled it was pathetic. Gawker is, by all accounts, working very hard to deal with the issue while continuing to allow its reader to submit tips anonymously (which Jezebel takes hefty advantage of).
First off, note I didn’t say a sober male having sex with a drunk female is not rape. Nowhere in my comment was that stated. That is not okay in my book. I stated that feminists claim a male should NEVER have sex with a drunk women. Note that the NEVER is my point of contention. If this is the case, every single drunk hook up that has ever occurred is rape, by both males and females. All of them, because drunk consent is not consent. And implying that males are the only ones who have sex while sober with a drunk partner is both naive and ludicrous.
Secondly, my point about the harassment was not that women should trust every person, male or female, immediately upon meeting them the first time. MY point, if you actually read it as opposed to going into an immediate rage, was that classifying every single male you meet as a predator, which is what that statement says, is both discriminatory and a sad way to live your life. It is the equivalent of every man classifying every women as a delusional crazy person upon meeting them the first time. Because as that statement says:
Not every women is crazy and delusional to men, but every man has been affected negatively by a crazy delusional woman.
And as a little experiment for you, I asked my female coworkers (I have a lot), and they agreed that was discrimination.
For your information, I am a male. I had to work for everything in my life. My parents did not give me anything that I didn’t work for. I am college educated, with a Bachelor in Economics. I have worked as an Project, Policy and Risk Analyst for a while now. I worked my way up from the better. So am I uneducated and privileged? No. No I am not.
These women are misinformed, no doubt there. But I get where they are coming from. They are talking more about the kinds of feminists who say “drunk consent isn’t consent”, and say a male should never have sex with a drunk female. They are the feminists that are giving you a bad name ladies. I honestly think it is about equality now and that message is lost in the man hating that certain pockets of feminism encourage.
A perfect example was a quote I saw on twitter the other day:
All men don’t harass women, but all women have been harassed by men.
With the caption to it strongly implying that no woman should trust any man. Really? If that’s not discrimination I don’t know what is. All I am saying is, keep it reasonable ladies. The vast majority of men are good people. Assholes, sure, but good, moral people.
You make blacking out sound bad. Some of my best nights have been ones I can barely remember, if at all.
If you count the last four decades as the “last few years”, then sure…..
Also, pretty sure a three year old should never be referred to as any kind of bitch
Throwing this out there: What if he hasn’t changed at all?
Oh how it’s hilarious that all these people who are saying it was false are now proven extremely wrong.
The number of girls who will stop being batshit crazy because of this or any other article: 0.
If my girl showed up with her face painted and pigtails to go watch football, I would tell her to stay in the car. No. That isn’t sexy. You look like a middle schooler. This is the appropriate amount of face paint. http://www.brobible.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/belgium-fan-devil.jpg
#19 is a solid way to propose.

It is extremely refreshing to see someone take responsibility for themselves. You will be a far better person in the long run for it. Good for you.

Awww I’m sorry. Did you get butt hurt?

Veronica is right.
#22 is bullshit. If he broke up with you, then chances are he’s probably alright. And yes, it was easy.
Why is a guy providing an opinion on how a female orgasm feels?
It’s only saving grace is it’s an acceptable way for women to read erotic fiction in public. Even if it does read like a tenth grade English paper.
Both your responses were absolutely correct. Actions have consequences, both good and bad. Thanks for being sensible.

Sterling/Knox, you are the best writer on Grandex. #2 is so spot on.
