my kink is closing doors so that i am in complete solitude
someone in my target language: hi :)! how are you?
me and Duolingo in haunting unison: the boys have the pears
you: *opens my audio biography*
me: hi welcome to my audio biography.. chapter 1.. [begins screaming for 4 hours]
male entitlement in academic spaces is so boring. can’t tell you how many times i’ve been in a class and a girl gives a short, insightful analysis, and then a dude raises his hand and says “jumping off of that…” then says literally the same thing she said but longer and worse.
I hate to be that guy, but it doesn’t just happen to women. The assholes who do that will do that to anyone who’s analysis isn’t sufficiently complex and long winded for them.
Been done to me by people of both genders.
Also I have been guilty of doing this, so I apologize. Because I was overly excited and just couldn’t wait to talk…. yeah.
(Nothing is ever clear cut eh….)
dude.
i work in a pet store. a woman was looking at our bettas and asked me whether one was male or female. i told her that they were all male, because they are- our company only orders male bettas. she looked at me incredulously and pointed at one and asked, “even this one?”
i was like “…yes, why?”
“it’s pink, though! why is the male fish pink?”
i swear, she was borderline angry at me. i didn’t know how to explain that fish genetics don’t adhere to human gender roles
