Good Reading
Apr. 26th, 2008 11:08 pmYou 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.
