inkstainedqueer asked: I know that there are women out there who don't like shopping. So it stands to reason that there are men who don't like shopping. But I've found that some men seem nervous when shopping--as if their masculinity is threatened just because they're standing in a store. Is this me reading into it too much? Or is there a stigma--perhaps an implication that if you're a man who...
Gender biased insurance
I don’t really know what to think of the fact that insurance costs are different based on gender. The insurance industry bases its rates on statistics and costs. Demographics of people who cost more are charged more than demographics of people who cost less.
Most people would agree this is just when your demographic is purely one of choice, such as being a tobacco smoker, a convicted felon,...

Debunking 'Brutish' Male Sexuality Myths pt 1 →
The tired trope of aggressive male sexuality is a pervasive one. The story goes like this: because men are full of testosterone and sperm as well as unhindered by the consequence of pregnancy, their sexuality is naturally brutish and promiscuous. Testosterone fuels aggression, billions of sperm want hundreds of outlets and nature failed to offset these desires with physical dangers...
freakingdork asked: RE: Mental illness and violence/AZ shooting
I also wanted to point out that the media generally ignores the fact that when compared to the general population, people with mental illnesses are 11 times more likely to be a victim of a violent crime. Unfortunately, people don't always realize that the symptoms they think would cause mentally ill people to act in violent ways...

I can't point to anything as a direct cause for the Arizona shootings as I have no insight into the shooter's particular motives. But I can't believe the irrational hatred, inflamatory language, and nonsensical rhetoric Americans have been subject to since Obama's election...

If Sarah Palin hadn’t published that crosshair map would Jared Lee Loughner not have killed anyone? I don’t know. He was clearly mentally disturbed (see his Youtube videos). His rhetoric includes Tea Party-esque references to the constitution and gold-backed currency, but it doesn’t seem like it would take much to justify murder in his head. His motivations don’t seem so...

Caleb Laieski, a 15-year-old student and teenage activist, has put Arizona school officials on notice: stop bullying of gay and lesbian students or face a lawsuit.
Laieski e-mailed more than 5,000 school administrators, city council members and Arizona lawmakers in December demanding that they improve measures in order to fight discrimination against gay and lesbian students, stating that...

I have a Peter Pan complex.
Cute, except I’m in my mid 20s and female-bodied. Some of the time it’s alright being genderqueer and age confused, because it’s only a sometimes thing. But sometimes my breasts are too big, and sometimes my hips are too big, and most of the time my belly is too soft…

newwavefeminism:
Why is there this upsurge in wanting to say you’re an “equalist” or “humanist” over being a feminist? Ok, first of all raise your hand if you honestly believe this has no roots whatsoever in the vilification of the word “feminism”?
alright….
Since I use the word “humanism” a lot here, I want to make something clear. I came to identify...
Give your body a chance
Not everything is for everybody. But give your body a chance. Let your balls be tugged in the throes of passion. Let your nipples be pinched. Let your back be clawed. Let yourself be penetrated.
Let yourself be crazy. Let yourself be subtle. Let yourself be sexy. Let yourself be sexual. You don’t have to be. But don’t discount what your body can be to you before you’ve given it...
