cddlswthsqrrlsYeah...I don't think any girl is complaining about buying tampons. Girls use razors too so like I don't see how this discussion is relevant haha.
cddlswthsqrrlsIt seems I have misspoken. Apparently women care about this. Although I wouldn't say it's a huge deal, for some people who aren't in the best place financially it's a bit inconvenient. I guess I just don't understand why razors aren't taxable in the first place?
cornholiowhat a shitshow of a thread
theabortionatorlol, so much butthurt in this thread
theBearJewI tried really hard to not use the word feminist or allude to it in the OP. I really tried to not have it be about feminism...
cddlswthsqrrlsI feel like I'm partially responsible for the derailment of this thread. I'm sorry OP.
I think It's pretty ridiculous that this is happening. If you don't like the way a person is sitting then get up and move to a place you're gonna be more comfortable. If you're the one with the problem, you should remove yourself from it. These guys are just trying to chill on a subway and women harassing them like this is pretty fucking nuts.
a_pla5tic_bagI ride NYC subways 4 days a week and everyone still sits like that. Haven't seen anybody get in trouble. In fact I don't think I've ever seen a cop actually on a train, only walking around on the platform.
What I really wish people would stop doing is standing in front of the doors when they open with their back to the outside and not moving when people are trying to get in and out because they don't want to give up their spot at the door.
theabortionatorSo I didn't drink for a year and a half. Went to a show in nyc and was like fuck it I'm back in the game. Was double fisting beers on the subway and boom, 3 cops come in. Probably just to check on shit and make sure nothing crazy shady was going on, maybe trying to go a stop or two.
But I was like fuck my life. The one time cops are on subway I;m drinking in public for the first time in well over a year. The cop hassled me a bit but I didn't have to ditch em or get a ticket so I was happy.
Would have been an ultra bummer to get a ticket for that shit first day drinking again.
As far as those people I just run them the fuck over. I'm not a dick, I'm good at avoiding people, but if you're not going to move, or at least pay attention, fuck you, fuck you, I'm running you the fuck over, and im out
californiagrownFunny. Caltrain encourages drinking on their trains- to discourage drunk driving. Trains to Giants games are full on party trains, and trains to the city on Friday/Saturday evenings can get crazy as well.

Even the non-extreme feminists live by a double standard lol.
