Attn Feminists: When boarding a bus, out of consideration for other passengers baggage is left on the outside, in the outer compartment - the same etiquette applies to emotional baggage.

remember that lf women's thread where they had a long discussion about how if a man is at a party they shouldn't lean up against the wall near a woman because it suggests dominance and control and will scare the woman.

women sit next to me on the bus all the time, even over other women in adjacent seats. grandmas in particular like to sit next to me.

so women are uncomfortable with men in public spaces but white women are generally more afraid of black men than white men.. does that mean a black man should be more careful to avoid white women than a white man should be or is there a definite boundary for physical proximity between all men and women regardless of race which is based on some factor besides comfort/fear/whatever?



well if theres a black man on the bus you should quickly swallow a xanax to steel your nerves and try to fill up the most vagina-adjacent seat before he gets there. be sure to yell "CONNECT FOUR" as loudly as you can so everybody knows you just prevented a rape

I frequently find myself in jam packed subway cars at rush hour, buses at 1000% capacity where the drivers roars past crowded pickup stops because there's no everloving way a single extra person can squeeze on, with an empty seat next to me cos noone will take it. I live in such a considerate city <3

one day you'll be sitting there after a long day of work and you'll be like sigh why won't anyone in this cruel city sit beside me and someone will plop down beside you and you'll look up and it'll be your wife and you'll smile from ear to ear and she'll say "i hope there's toilet paper left at home because i've got to dump a load."

i got onto an intercity train today and chuckled to myself because there were only like five open seats left and they were all beside young women and i was like ah yes the baby finland dilemma in the flesh. and in WWBFD? fashion i decided to sit beside the person dressed the most modestly.

actually in the 1970s i was referred to in the new yorker as "the human quaalude" because my mere presence in a room was enough to relax even the most frenetic of states in young drug addicts. i also wore a clown nose.

The DEA managed to get producers to shut down and eliminated the supply and therefore the public health problem.

All this contrary to the idiotic stoners and wooly-headed activists who still insist that prohibition doesn't work.
