6 Women Respond Perfectly To Old-School Sex Advice
In a new video for Glamour, six women reacted to old-school, sexist dating advice pulled from different advice columns and books in the years 1680 all the way up to to 1984. The results are undeniably hilarious and cringe-worthy.A whole lotta nope.
my nursing lecturer was saying how her daughter almost died at birth and the doctor said ‘you’re lucky she’s a girl because girls are more resilient, even from birth’ and she just thought he was comforting her but she researched it later and there had been studies literally done into it
Not even just from birth. Female fetuses are less likely to miscarry in adverse conditions, such as famine. It makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint. If a sexual dimorphic species is to survive, it needs far more females than males. In nature, males are pretty expendable.

When boys complain about bra straps being distracting, and start comparing it to pulling out their cock, do they fucking realise that a bra is underwear, not genitalia? And the equivalent would be them walking around with their pants so low that their boxers are showing, which they would never do… OH WAIT

I do not understand why y’all had to ruin tiddies. Tiddies are cool B but like idk why yall had to hypersexualize em. Do you know how cool it would be to just be chillin topless in a city park during the summer on a hot day wit ya girl just relaxing and having a picnic and shit? Be able to take a nap at the beach together skin to skin and have it be completely normal? Like i get why yall like tiddies, I like em too. They cool to look at just like a muscular chest or calves or eyes or any other cool body part. But to the point where yall see a tiddie and get a boner ?? Yall needa fix yaselves cause you ruining some good times and experiences for the rest of us normal ass people not jerking it over a damn nipple

if you dont have me on facebook you are probably not missing out on any posts but the comment section is important too lmao
I went to the Renaissance faire dressed as a warrior. I had a real sword with me, too. I was standing (in character) next to a sword-fighting ring, where kids of all ages got the chance to pick up a sword and challenge the champion. Some woman walks by, with her little girl. The girl starts walking towards the ring, saying she wants to fight. But the mom pulled her away hella sharply, and was like, “That’s for boys.” You don’t want to be a BOY, do you?” And the girl looked around and saw me. I think she thought I was a boy; I had my hair in a ponytail, and was wearing a hood. So she comes up to me and asks me, “Do you think girls can be fighters, too?” And her mom looks like she’s silently gloating. Like she thinks I’m going to say no. So I take off my hood, untie my hair so that it flows freely, and kneel before her. And I’m like, “Milady, anyone can be a fighter.” I swear, the look on that mother’s face made my day.
This post was good but then it got better
Okay, this is a slight topic diversion, but in response to the above comment. I’ve volunteered at the CT Ren Faire for years now. For the last 5 or so I’ve worked in the game section, and we have a game similar to the above comment called “Smite the Knight”. I’ve been in the ring before, it’s a ton of fun getting to run around with the kids. The main goal is entertainment. Have a good shtick, keep the crowd engaged, and let the kids have a good time.
In both work and observing, I have learned something about kids. A lot of parents try to get their boys to go fight. Of the young ones that do, they tend to be shy. You get the ones who just swing the boffer swords around with no regard for life, but, mostly, they’re reserved. It’s adorable. I mean, they’re kids.
But the girls. THE GIRLS. Holy crap. I swear, the pinker the dress, the more taffeta and glitter…the more intensity. I remember, the first year I worked there, one girl came in, grabbed the biggest sword she could, and WENT TO TOWN on our knight. Lifted it over head, let out this primal scream and mowed him down. Homeboy is 6′2″, she was FIVE. And once he was in the fetal position (He was fine. It was for show.) on the ground, she stopped, put her foot on his chest, and yelled “I AM A FIERCE PRINCESS!!”. Later in the day when she walked by a couple of use yelled “Ah! It’s the fierce princess!” and she stopped and flexed. It was the best, and I will never forget that girl.

The other logical thought about Furiosa is that if she wasn’t made for men, she must have been made for women.
And, 1. there’s nothing wrong with that
but, 2. she might be made for everybody
There’s that myth about genre media where the genre is human experience, dividing everything into categories, not so much because it’s helpful to find what you’re looking for but because it’s assumed only people from certain communities will be interested in consuming certain media
so you get women’s cinema, and lgbt cinema, and black cinema, and disabled cinema, and when you’re just looking for a regular good movie you don’t really go near those shelves unless you’re connected to the subject because it’s just not universal enough, it’s going to have “an agenda” and you won’t be able to identify.
What horseshit, right?
And people get so angry about Fury Road being described as feminist because they think that puts the film on the Feminism Shelf where only angry activist women can browse. Someone actually got so angry they said “It’s not yours, it wasn’t made for you!”
Well shit, friend, it’s made for everybody. And if it’s made a little bit more for the women than the men, is that a problem? Strike that: if it’s made a little bit less for the men and a lot less at the expense of women, is that really a problem?
You enjoyed the film, it’s yours. You identified with someone who wasn’t like you- GOOD. No one’s gonna try and take that away from you. But don’t you be selfish and spoiled, either, don’t try and act like it belongs to you and no one else. Just accept that you enjoyed a movie that wasn’t putting your needs first. Is that so hard? Is that something to be ashamed of?
Because I think it’s fucking wonderful. Especially if you’re in that demographic that always gets catered to.

working in the drive-thru
- me: and would you like a hot wheels or barbie toy with that, ma'am?
- woman: uh... it's for a boy.
- me: okay congratulations
- me: do you want a hot wheels or barbie toy
- woman: i want a boy toy please
- me: haha dont we all
- woman:
- me:
- me: so do you want a hot wheels or barbie toy you have to choose
Then get a better job, don’t go out in public if you don’t want people to look at you, and get over yourself. Don’t be surprised if you get shamed for doing something shameful. & “feeling” harassed is a hell of a lot different than “being” harassed. Facts over feels.
This just in, its always a woman’s fault apparently. Ladies, you need to work harder then you already do in order to get equal pay. You should also stay home forever because it’s your fault you’re being harassed on the street!
Victim blaming and misogyny are some of the ugliest traits and I’m sorry you don’t know any better.

Evening Post: August 12, 1899.
“She immediately alighted, caught hold of the astonished youth, and gave him a sound thrashing, using her fists in a scientific fashion…”
I would love to know what this means.I think that might be code for “punched him in the balls with devastating accuracy”.
it is absolutely code for “punched him in the balls with devastating accuracy”
As is the case with boxing, it most likely means that she was precise and methodical. So, yes. She punched him in the balls with devastating accuracy.
