Good Reading
You know, it's so sad that these things have to be spelled out. So very sad.
Don't Be That Guy. Excellent read for any guy on how not to be a sexist jackass (most of you are, at some point or another), also can be applied to anyone coming from a place of privilege (aka myself from my white, middle class American women place of privilege). Made me think and view some stuff differently. Some things I should change in my behavior and somethings I should stop putting up with (granted, I'm spoiled rotten by having some truly wonderful male friends, but still).
A Straight Geek Male's Guide to Interaction with Females - pretty basic, like I said before—very sad that this needs to be spelled out.
Thoughts on Men and Rape - A very thought provoking read on rape and how society, specifically men, treat it.
On my own personal note: Just because I'm having a bad day or am pissed off at you does not mean I'm PMSing. Could be, could not be. Also, just because I'm PMSing does not mean everything I say should be dismissed out of hand. 'Cause I'm a champion at suppressing emotions and when the hormones mean I can't control them is when you'll find out if I actually have any issues with you.
