The one in your back pocket is for you. The one in your breast pocket is for her.Oh, GOD. Seriously? rulesformyunbornson is filled with nothing but nauseating tripe.

so, to recap: chivalry is sexist. chauvinism is sexist. finding a specific collection of traits or body type more attractive than others is sexist. putting women on a pedestal is sexist. putting them on the exact level of a male you have a similar relationship with is sexist. looking is sexist. actively not looking is sexist.
am i being absurd? of course. but everything about gender relations has always been absurd, because it’s based entirely on the social constructions of gender, which, this just in, are artificial. can we all just agree that treating each other like crap, due to gender, is unacceptable? and if we aren’t treating each other like crap, then maybe we can all chill?
and yes, i am STILL holding on to the time in university where holding a door for a young woman resulted in me being told that she ‘could open the door for herself, thank you very much.’
