Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The person interviewing me was a big proponent of the rock bonding class.
Hmpf. He shouldn't have asked "What do you think about X?" if he wasn't prepared to hear "I didn't like X and here's why." It's an interview question, not an ego-stroking opportunity. I mean, I get why it was embarrassing, but he kinda set you, and himself, up for it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Nah, she wasn't overly defensive about it at all, and seemed okay with my point-of-view, it was just awkward.

That's just guacamole entrapment.

it was just awkward.
It may have been awkward, but better awkwardness in an interview than further bonding with a rock.

Heh! And pretty much a comment only made or understandable by Buffistas.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am in an argument with college-aged boys (that I know) on a log post of a colleged aged girl (that I know) about men talking to random women on the street. And they are such nice, polite young men, and they are writing paragraphs long defenses of men's rights to talk to women on the street and "not all men are like that" and "you need to be nicer or men and women won't get along" and "you are contributing to the women's fear of men by posting this" and "sorry, I won't ask you for directions, because you will kick me n the balls".
And why I tried to explain that it wasn't just about their "right" to talk to a pretty girl but a systemic, unplanned, unnoticeable to them way that men take up space and women can't, I have no idea...

"you need to be nicer or men and women won't get along"
You need to be sympathetic about how much women are harassed by strange men or we won't get along."
Alternately, "You are not entitled to women's attention."
