.. or do men do it too? Whatever, it's disgusting and so disrespectful of other's privacy in a shared washroom. Smarten the hell up!

What is all the B.S. over Gays getting married? It's long overdue. I think they should be able to suffer just as much as a couple in a hetro marriage: Wedding Ring, Suffer Ring, same thing... —Suffer Ring Hetro Husband

I'm going to say this, because its relevant and meaningful. A woman has a right to stand up for herself, at all times. Trying to make a living should not stand in the way of achieving this very desire. Being an independent and opinionated woman in any context is not wrong. Standing up against misogyny and white privileged attitudes in any context, is not to be censored or mediated by some absolute form or righteousness. Since when does being part of an institution mean that you need to subject yourself to belittlement, prejudice, degrading behavior and silent pain hidden behind a veil of " professional and standard conduct " ? I think there is something to be said about what " professionalism " entails, and how much a woman is supposed to swallow silently, before a line is drawn. There is nothing progressive about repressing your feelings, repressing your right to an opinion, and repressing your need for self respect in the form of you, standing up for yourself. The most obvious truth is that humans are individuals, and women are very much so a part of this equation. Seems ridiculous to standardize the behavior of such a vast array of people, in the name of Capitalism and preserving archaic systematic delivery of silent misery. There is nothing standard about humans. There is nothing beautiful about Capitalism, and there is nothing progressive about treating other people like shit for being individuals who desire self respect. That's my 2 cents. As a woman living in Nova Scotia, I am very disappointed that I cannot seem to find a way to be able to stand up for myself, and not have to worry about preserving employment. I personally think that this is because of gender related issues, and I think we all, as women, should be concerned about this, and should voice our options and thoughts on the matter. Its not because I am a woman, that I am in a constant state of pleasantness and sweetness. I'm allowed to be offended, I'm allowed to be insulted, and I am allowed to show emotion. Fuck your archaic gender standards. —GirlGoneWild

Walking down the street late one evening, when not too far away a couple of people were walking along and one of them said aloud (though most of their conversation was audible) "Is that a guy wearing pantyhose?" Yes, I am wearing a form of tights, first of all. Second of all, guy? I'm sorry, but not one person can tell the gender, sex, sexuality—or anything about that individual for that matter—just based on looking, regardless if it is day or night (high vis or low vis). I am not male; I am queer. Every night I'm out I am yelled at, stared at, laughed at, for being openly queer. I like "women’s clothes.” I enjoy decorating my body for myself, not for you. You are entitled to your own body, so leave mine alone. Everyone should feel comfortable at any time of the day. And PS, to a previous bitch comment section where someone mentioned their frustration with bro shaming: Bros publicly shame a lot of people. There’s nothing wrong with fighting back. —Here and Queer So Fuck Off My Dear <3
