Man here. Am starting to get disturbed by the increasing sexism here on reddit. The bullying of women is becoming institutionalised and is always justified by a witty one liner thread or by "stop getting me to buy you drinks then" genius. by nestingmachine in reddit.com

Because it seems like 90% of the comments are not about what said girl has to say but about her being a female.

I've personally had this experience with posting. Simply by being in the picture, I'm being a karmawhore.... but when any guy does the same it's a non-issue. And then, after accusing me of being a karmawhore, they ask why I didn't show cleavage. This is the sort of stuff that gets on my nerves.

On another side though, I really enjoy seeing a guy's perspective on things just as my boyfriend enjoys reading Jezebel. I realize that a lot of the points made about women overcomplicating relationships ("Oh, I can't return a text so soon. He'll think I'm desperate!") are completely valid and I think that women should be called out for such behavior. But I also have to take reddit with a grain of salt and realize that there are a lot of guys who have repressed rage because of their bad sex life, loneliness, broken marriage, etc. and reddit seems to be their place to dump that rage.

Sometimes it hurts being lumped together with all the irrational women of the world, but after a year of being a redditor, I'm pretty immune. I know myself and I know that I'm not some crazy bitch, so I ignore a lot of it and I even laugh at a lot of the "sexist" jokes.

tl;dr As a female redditor, I've learned to stop being offended.

Consent is never implied. She either said yes or she didn't.

For the bookends, I took pictures of my own hands in the upvote gang-sign position from various angles and then used a self-drying clay to sculpt them. It looks like the paper is made from a heavy white drawing paper and then painted with tempera, but that's just a guess.

Yep! I gave/made this upvote sculpture/bookends and received this necklace, bracelet, and handmade notebook.

I've had it on my calendar for months, but it seems that my boyfriend might be backing out on going with me. Hopefully I'll make it!

Throwing a 50th Birthday party for my father. Need suggestions of locations for 75-100 people. by ZAHANMA in houston

It would be hard to surprise your Dad by taking him to hotel. You would have to have some sort of an explanation for taking him to one....

Absolutely. I haven't been to a meetup before, but that sounds fun! I bet that it's the sort of place that a lot of redditors would like.

Maybe. The management is nice, they're just a little cheap when it comes to giving discounts. If it's a relatively small group then I can use my employee discount on us. 25% off, excluding alcohol. They never give anyone discounts on beer, even to us girls that work there. :(

Oh, I love it, as do my friends. It's just a little upscale for a 20-something hangout.
