    You can't hit me, you're the woman!

    It is a communications section. And my unit is deploying in a few months.

    You can't hit me, you're the woman!

    It's only the same legal issues that exist everywhere else in the military. There aren't large numbers of women and anyone stationed overseas is going to be away from their wives or girlfriends for months. I'm the only female in a commo section with over 20 people, that's not any less risky...

    How Do We Break It To The Mom?

    You make it sound like I negatively impact your studies...except for a few missed classes last week, I haven't really done anything. I, at least, go to my classes, do my work, albeit a struggle to get it done in time some days.

    You can't hit me, you're the woman!

    I am in the military and I wanted to be a combat engineer. Can't do that simply because I'm female. What's so wrong with a woman willingly putting herself in harm's way so she can blow things up and make impromptu bridges? And in my job, I didn't so much get paid less than my counterpart...as...

    You can't hit me, you're the woman!

    There are plenty of things that women aren't allowed to do that men can. Can't fight as infantry, can be a combat engineer, they're not required to sign up for selective service (be drafted). You may claim that it protects women, but many of us would prefer to be equal in all means, good and...

    Poll: Is homosexuality genetic?

    I believe there is a genetic predisposition to be so, but it's also heavily environmentally influenced. If my father were not abusive, I may not be a lesbian, but he's also a closet homo (I'd refer you to his journals, but we no longer have them) and that reinforces the idea of genetics having...

    How Do We Break It To The Mom?

    I agree. And although most of the year, she lives at college, there's still summers and breaks. And she definitely still accepts their money, she has tuition to pay and no full-time job. We've talked briefly about the possibility of them kicking her out, but unless it goes horribly, it shouldn't...

    How Do We Break It To The Mom?

    I'd like this to be on as good enough terms as possible, though. Basically, I don't want this to drive a wedge between her and them. They'll blame me. I look bad enough to them already, I'm very wary of doing anything to seem worse to them. If the only way for them to know is for her and I to be...

    How Do We Break It To The Mom?

    In all seriousness, her mom is really starting to freak me out. I'd never let her mom scare me away from her, but it is hard to deal with. Among the other things said this morning was "How often do you sleep in your own room?" "Most of the time..." (a lie) "Do you have any classes with her?"...

    How Do We Break It To The Mom?

    Situation: I'm a lesbian, my girlfriend is bi. Her parents know this. They knew we were really close friends and have been worried that we'd start dating. They don't have an issue with gays or lesbians, far from it. They have an issue with me. They met me a few months ago and simply don't like...

    There Will Be Brawl: There Will Be Brawl: On Set

    I'm twitchier than Falco under normal circumstances. And I've re-watched twice in the past twenty-four hours.

    There Will Be Brawl: There Will Be Brawl: On Set

    You're not the only one. I actually have been waiting all this time. I'm not exactly the patient type, I get twitchy waiting this long.

    There Will Be Brawl: There Will Be Brawl: On Set

    Can't really say without even having an estimate of when it will actually debut.
