Hm, this is a dilemma. Perhaps a way to pay in advance and keep my Rory Williams stored, then?

Uh, guest, rape isn't about sex. There are plenty of guys who can think about sex all the time and don't rape anyone because rape is about power. It's about making the other person do something they don't want to do, making them feel scared. As I would like to point out, most women do. Do you constantly think about completely scaring a woman for life to the point that when her own father tries to hug her she flinches away? Rape isn't just "taking it too far", it's violating another human's basic rights and hurting them in ways no one should do.

Do you deliver? I'm stuck in events here on Earth and can't come pick up my Rory Williams.

I thought it was a show of how great Rory is because he doesn't even bring that up.

I for one can see where your wife is coming from if you don't even look at us equally just because we're disagreeing with you. You don't even look at all of the facts before you called Saviourself a bitch, and you don't even seem to try to see sense in talking to people rather than believing your own opinion and an anonymous poster on the internet.

I feel like you should be more focused on being healthy than how much you weigh :/ be a strong and healthy person over being curvy or thin.

I am depressed, I've been diagnosed, and while I'm sure eating and eating isn't healthy, the way I eat and act isn't either. I eat so little that I frequently get dizzy spells and temporarily lose my balance and my sight. There may be some ways that this is healthy, but what I'm doing is not one of them.

I agree with Kitteh, but I do think that certain things need to be handled better. Telling someone who is anorexic that they're beautiful, they will probably think you mean their body, and that means as soon as they eat something and gain weight (which happens because their body adjusts to having no calories and when they have more than that they gain weight because of it), then they will starve themselves again. Telling this to people who are unhealthily overweight isn't going to get them to fix their health problems, even if they feel good about themselves. :/ I don't actually know how to best handle that, but I think that the guest is right in some things, yes everyone has something that is good about them, but hearing it from someone saying "everyone is gorgeous" who doesn't even know you or say anything specific frankly doesn't help raise anyone's spirits...

to raise awareness about other places, and to stop rape and the idea of false rape claims. And to stop people from thinking like this.

And where did the guest get those statistics? On average, stranger rapists will rape 30 different women before they're caught. 1 in 5 women are raped in their lifetime, and 1 in 71 men. 85% of sexual assaults are done by someone they /know/. If you don't have a fact about prepubescents being sexually harassed, how do you know? Childcare /costs/ us money, as most jobs do /not/ pay for it. And as far as opportunities go, I actually believe we've gone too far in most cases, because it is easier for most women to get a job, just like it is for other races, because employer's have to hire a certain number of not white males. Society, I think (as far as jobs and opportunities go) tries far too hard to treat women and non-white races better so as to not seem racist or sexist, but that leads to people believing there is no such thing, while on the individual level it's still present. And, like I said, this isn't just about in first-world countries. In general, I think feminism is stupid except

Well, women keep the thing that feeds off of them for nine months and then painfully squeezes through a hole too small for them.

This pisses me off, because women do get discriminated against. Just because you don't do it and your wife says you do doesn't mean we don't. Even in America, my mother had to fight to get paid more than the men who work UNDER her. Outside of America, women are still forced into arranged marriages and treated like property. Just because /you/ don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. This isn't talking about just privileged women in first-world countries, so shut your mouth.

I know that you're right, but I assure you that my searches are pretty much restricted to pregnancy symptoms, heroin symptoms, pokemon, dominoes pizza, and doctor who, but the results that popped up when /I/ searched this in the following order were:
"vote"
"work"
"wear bras"
"go to college"
Google tailors it to most common thing searched if you haven't searched anything like it in the past.

for me to not eat for one or two days in a row. I've done it before because I can't be bothered to make myself something. Only after that long does my stomach start to growl... It doesn't seem like it would be terribly hard at all to just give up food most of the time, to eat so little that I could theoretically die from starving, even though I do eat every so often to make sure no one suspects anything. So yes, sometimes I do get positive comments about being this thin. But more often than not, I get teased. Even when I try to eat as much as I can as often as I can, I don't gain weight. And what exactly is privileged about being skinny when it's something you can't control, when people make fun of you, when most other people ignore you, and when everyone is too worried about people being hurt about being called fat to think that not everyone would /want/ to be super thin? About having health issues because you're trying so hard, but no one notices you still?

Everyone thinks it's okay to make fun of my weight because I'm very obviously not fat. "If you turn to one side and stick your tongue out, you look like a zipper." "If you close one eye you look like a pin." Even people jokingly saying "Oh, don't feed her anymore, she's too fat." And I mean, whatever, I'll be fine, but there are people who really do believe what's said of them. Even though I'm unhealthily underweight, I still notice that my belly has a bit of a bulge. Whatever I think when I look at it is that it looks like I'm pregnant. I still don't let that get to me, because I love food, but some people in my position would stop eating. I admit that even I don't eat enough, because even though people joke, I /like/ being thin. I like it when people say things like "How can you eat so much and stay so thin?" well, the answer is that I only eat one or two meals a day. In the summer, not even that much. And it's gotten to the point where I don't get hungry anymore. It wouldn't be hard
