Please don't say you. I've not cat-called a male nor would I put my arms around anyone I don't know male or female. Nor do I find it appropriate. Consent goes both ways. I consider it assault to slap anyone. I don't care if it's a girl slapping a man or another woman, or a man who hits anyone. It's assault, and the law sees it that way too. No whether police see it that way is out of my control.
Did I say that women were perfect? Nope, I did not. I even said that women were guilty as well. I just think that it happens more to women than to men, most likely due to archaic gender roles that are still prevalent to a small degree in western society.
Give me Ben E. King's version any day over Lennon.
I don't know why, but I've never been a huge fan. Granted he died when I was pretty young. I mean I've listened to a lot of his music and I don't dislike him at all, I've just never been a huge fan. :)
And I was countering that it's not just obscenely wealthy men. I was stating that I have experienced every single one of those things and many of those things not too long ago, and I can say that almost every woman I know has experienced some sort harassment.
You have not explained how men have it way worse when it comes to dating? I do really want to know. How is it way worse?
I've had every single on of those things happen right in public. Not in the dark, not in a bar. And some of that not too long ago.
Do some women do some of that to men? Yes. Do all men do that? No.
But I do think that the instances of that happening to women is much more frequent than women doing it to men.
Interesting point of view.
I'm not saying that you are wrong in your opinion, but let me offer a different sort of opinion from a middle aged, cis, white woman.
For the most part I do not feel that I have any disadvantages. I have had to fight for equal pay at jobs, and I've worked jobs where women weren't allowed to have certain positions because they are women. Now, I will say that that has changed, but I have experienced that in my life.
I also do not feel that I have any advantage being a woman. I'd like to know where this special treatment is for me? i didn't have any advantage in my divorce, but we didn't have children. Even then where I live a most custody is being split 50/50 and whomever is making more money is the one that has to pay, no matter which sex, which I think is totally fair, and I'm glad that things are moving in that direction.
I think that both sexes feel that the other has the advantage in the dating world. Dating sucks and it's not easier just because you are female. Please, show me how that is? I think dating is easier for both sexes based on how you look. Whether you can keep a relationship, well looks don't matter so much then, but yeah. I disagree with you there.
Now, when it comes to harassment and assault, I'm going to have to disagree with you again. Granted I'm in my early 40s and I'm not a target as much as I used to be. I will also say that consent education has helped. But when you say that men grovel at women's feet, I'm glad that is how you feel. These are my experiences, but I still have to be aware of my surroundings at all times. I've had the unpleasant experience of having a man take an upskirt photo of me about a year and half ago. He had over 100 pictures of women.
Cat calling is not showing respect. Following a woman in a mall is not respect. Calling women nasty names when they politely say they aren't interested is not respect. Grabbing a woman's ass is not respect, even less respect is grabbing breasts.
Maybe, but I think it depends on if you prefer a new wave sound or pop. I don't judge.
If we are speaking of voices I would say
Dan Steele - Bastille
Michael Poulsen - Volbeat
I'm sure there are people who enjoy the original.
I think the most amazing version of Hallelujah I've heard was at a dinner theatre. Not kidding. It was called Canada 151 and it was celebrating 151 years of Canadian music. I tear up just thinking about it. I really don't think there was a dry eye in the place, it was just that beautiful. I hope that somewhere, someone in the cast made a recording.
I agree. Bob Dylan is a great writer, not the greatest singer.
That's a great cover!

Which part?
I recently went through that with 'My So Called Life'. I not only felt old, but I was really annoyed with Angela. Of course when it came out I thought her mom was horrible and now I totally relate to her.
This one is pretty darn close in age too.
The Lost Boys
Parenthood
The Birdcage
I don't know. I'm not a climate scientist. I just really don't understand why so many scientists would say it's a problem if it isn't. There isn't money in it, so it doesn't make sense.
I am concerned. Years ago my country's previous government silenced scientists. Why? My country and province make a lot of money off fossil fuels. I don't know what the truth is, and honestly, whether we are in for another flood like Noah faced in my lifetime or not, anything we can do to clean up this planet is fine by me.
Scientist have been warning about this for at least the last 30 years that I can remember. Governments have had plenty of time to diversify economies,or come up with some alternatives and to not make this a time of global economic collapse. (I mean that's what they are telling us) They didn't. So I guess we deserve what ever happens.
I would be really proud of her if she were my daughter. I don't think that she would say that she has the answers either, but she has a voice and is trying to tell those who have power to listen to those who are proposing answers.
I would be proud of her if I were her parent.
I thought that CO2 pollution was what was a lead cause of climate change.
My thoughts on this are, even if it's just a cyclical part of earth's history, you can't tell me that we aren't playing a major part in this. If the ocean and forests are the planets filters, and we've cut them down and polluted those forests, you can't tell me that that isn't making a difference. You are concerned about adapting, and I understand that completely, but pollution really is the only thing that we can we work on.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Thanks for the laugh
