While the author has about as much credibility as myself on the subject, being an undergrad it does show evidence of strong female roles in viking society. Caused by what caused American feminist ideals were rooted in; men were off to war - women picked up the slack and ended up doing well for themselves. I'd say the math works out

I've also read on the Internet that viking women held all domestic financial power because they were believed to be mystic, and a cheating husband was punished by castration if this is the source you're referring to. But I'm fairly certain I read it on tumblr, so let's do some fact digging

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Oh ffs attacking a gender as a whole is as pointless as racism. Not ALL women do that thing you hate. Not ALL men think that way. People are individuals beyond their genitals. Some people have traces of both genitals! What then? Projecting your fear of rejection by scarecrowing the other gender is such an oblivious way of handling your issue. That aside, the media often sexualizes female nudity and humorizes male. Nothing new. Just a biproduct of stupid audience polls (stupid audience, not stupid polls) showing that's how people like it

The fact that kids claim they have boyfriends and girlfriends before puberty doesn't speak to their immaturity as loudly as it speaks of society'so high pressure demanding heteronormative behavior on innocent children. Why is it cute to talk about a 1 year old boy and girl getting together in the future like it's some normal thing? They're [bleep]ing infants, let them be infants.

Basically this. Don't just break up with him out of no where. Only if it's an actual problem is it worth even possibly breaking up over. Why you consider your boyfriend to be a hoe is a different issue

Everybody's all "wooooo CODBLOP3" and I'm all "I thought that happened already" even if I was wrong, I don't see how it's any substantially different from the last call of duty. I might as well have been right. In any case, we're that much closers to knowing if DICE killed Battlefront or not

It's the most accurate word I know New meds make it so I can't stand without toppling over and I'm still having 15 minute coughing fits that nearly result in puking. I'm scheduled for 36 more hours this week but I think I'm gonna call out. I'd rather go through the aggrevation of trying to get a new job then work like this

One small rejection on tinder might as well be 1000

No, it wasn't covered already. It was blown off with some irrelevant hand waving about the occasional ancient civilization walking around naked. Sexual assault is: A) A serious crime, which can lead to life inprisonment and even the death penalty. B) Looked down on generally by society (so much so that murderers in prison even have a special distaste for rapists). What more do you want? How can it be "more adequately described as bad"? In major cases yes, even the hardest criminals look down on child molesters but the benevolent sexism is still very real. For example, there is nothing sexual about a female breast but thanks to modern society, we've oversexualized the female body. It's the very same nurture that allows all of the things we fear (like perverts) to develop and thrive. If nurture taught us that everything involving nudity was totally normal and not at all taboo, there would be far less problems involving these topics. Does that reflect reality? Perhaps not, but to say that it wouldn't help i would simply disagree with

This tired argument is brought up time and time again. Nowhere in our culture is it taught that sexual assault is a good thing. Sexual assault is perpetrated by disturbed criminals, not by "brainwashed" but otherwise healthy members of society. You can teach that "nudity is fine" on an intellectual/societal level all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that humans have a visceral biological reaction to nudity in most cases. You can't legislate that away no matter how much you try. Absolutely valid, I only argue that there is an inherent atmosphere in western culture that doesn't so much say that sexual assault is good, it just doesn't adequately say that it is bad

I think it's an area culture thing though. Philly has tons of gay couples. I can only assume grinder and all that are just as used and available (my one gay friend went on a grinder binge when he first came out and got laid like 10 times a week for a couple months)
