“Age is just a number.”

Here are situations that phrase is meant for:

  • When your grandpa is feeling really old because he just turned 80.
  • When you and your partner want to get married but you are both in your 60s and feel that it is too late in life to do that.
  • When your grandkid tells you that you are too old to be playing LEGO’s
  • When your judgemental coworker says you are too old to quit your job to start your own business
  • When your teenager gets embarrassed and says they’re too old to be dropped off at school.
  • Etc..

The situation where the phrase isn’t okay:

  • When you are excusing pedos making advances or being in relationships with minors
  • When someone is grooming a minor with that phrase
  • Really anything to do with being a creep.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

Ok so some fun facts here. Those are military shoulder straps. Most modern uniforms use them to affix epaulets that show rank to.

However their original use was to hold ammo bags, bayonets, and other military gear in place while it was slung over your shoulder.

The reason they show up on so many commercial jackets these days is because a lot of fashion designs have their roots in military uniform designs.

World map of tradition of removing shoes in home. Green: shoes removed; Blue: shoes not removed.

If you don’t remove your shoes in my house I’ll remove them for you with your feet as collateral damage.

I only leave my shoes on because there’s twelve people in my house and I don’t trust any of them enough to walk around barefoot the little nasties

Antarctica makes fuckin sense, dude. those fuckers have to wear those fuckin thermal boots. 1 its fuckin cold inside keep those fuckin shoes on. 2 whos really gonna wanna put those fuckers on and off all the time keep em on for jesus fucks sake.

People will honestly ask “Does that poor person deserve food?” but never ask “Does that CEO deserve ten cars, three houses, and two yachts?”

And before you respond with “the poor person is buying that food with someone else’s money”, the CEO bought those luxuries with money earned from other people’s hard work.

Three cheers for these guys [x]

This is how to be a good ally.

Using their Bro-ness for good, not evil

So a tiny story: on Black Friday a few weeks ago I went to Gamestop to buy my brother a game for Christmas, and I noticed this older man was watching me like a hawk. He was loitering around the front of the store without really buying anything, and every time I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye he was looking at me. I went to look at the PS4 games, and he was looking at something right behind me. I checked out the Nintendo games, and he was looking at them too. I was the only woman in the store, by the way.

By the time I got in line to pay he was loitering at the front of the store again, and I just had that feeling that he was going to try and take the game I just bought, or steal my purse, as soon as I left the store. OR, he was going to try and follow me home. And I know I don’t have to explain that terror to any woman reading this, but all I could think was that I’m in this Gamestop alone with at least twenty other men and something is about to happen. I’m beginning to freak out, to the point where I’ve just pulled my pepper spray out of my purse and into the pocket of my coat. 

So there I am, next in line to pay, and there is this GIGANTIC dudebro right behind me, and I say gigantic as a 6 foot tall woman. He says, “Ma’am? Don’t be offended, but would it be alright if I walked you to your car?” and I was like “Are you serious?” and he was like “There are some weird guys in here right now. Have you noticed that guy watching you?” and then I showed the dudebro the pepper spray in my pocket and he was like “Right on. Would you still let me walk you to your car?” and I said yes.

So I paid, and waited while HE paid, and he walked me to my car. And just as I was getting in, the weird guy who’d been loitering came out of the store, saw me and my dudebro, and turned around and walked away in the opposite direction. 

In short: men who recognize that women are unsafe in dark alleys, college campuses, grocery stores, gas stations and retail stores and do something about it are the kind of quality men that this world needs more of.

Please for the love of god yes.

Hell yes.

Juniors Eric Hundahl and Kain Martin, as well as graduate student, Joe Raddock, became local celebrities after setting up a tri-fold poster board that says “Have you felt unsafe on campus? Discriminated against? Threatened? Afraid to walk around campus? We will walk with you.”

The community has showed its agreement with great enthusiasm. Hundahl said that on Monday, some people just stopped to take pictures, but by that evening, the guys were on the front page of Reddit and going viral on Facebook groups like Pantsuit Nation, as well as spreading among UNO students and alum.
