Right? Theres so much tied up with “women aging” but not being visible to street harassers has to be one of the best benefits so far. (the actual best benefit being just not giving a fuck anymore)
Maybe, but you have to remember that colors and gender-coding has change in recent history and it really only emerges with the rise of a consumer culture.
And we’re all super-smart, natch!
All of these things. Though I hope you stick around, because you’re awesome!

good luck, you aren’t invisible to me
(seriously though, virtual internet hug)
Middle age becomes a filter that weeds out the poopyheads and only keeps the good guys.
Yeah, but since you have what, 4 accounts, don’t you have lots of scope to comment?
Shhhh! The first rule of feminist sock puppet club is do not talk about feminist sock puppets!
I’m your same age and it’s getting worse! Damned genetics.
LOL - to be fair, I work at a university and I rarely go out. So beside all these dewy fresh faced undergrads I’m a hag.
I don’t work at University of Michigan, but exist in the same locale. Still not adding up.
Obviously you are a witch and we’ll need to burn you at the stake.
@Missy_Pants if you are a hag, i’m the ice king from adventure time.
Really? I think it’s quite striking and powerful in its mixed patterns and intense, vibrant color impacts.
A very masculine helmet, I would think.
I think, after reading all the opinions about this helmet, and adding my own, that it will fit perfect on the person who likes it and buys it.
Oh, well, then.
50 million Elvis fans can’t be wrong. Apparently a whoooole lot of them say he’s still alive.
Gin a logic meet a logic,
Comin’ through the rye
Gin a logic kiss a logic,
Need a logic cry?
Just because this needs to be said…
Aww, shucks. I’m not going anywhere, exactly, I attribute some of this to my personality. I’m not a small-talk kind of guy. It’s one of the reasons I hate networking, dating, and sitting on planes with someone who wants a conversation. If you want to talk about the weather, I can honestly say that I mostly don’t care. If you want to talk about grain production in Soviet Russia and the mechanization of agriculture in communist Russia, I’m suddenly like twenty billion times more interested. Just once, I’d like someone to sidle up to me with that kind of conversation ready to go. I don’t need to know anything about it to hear the story. Failing that, let’s argue about politics. We don’t have to be at each others throats, let’s just hash it out. Mostly, I find that people don’t want to have the conversations that I want to have, and I find myself with nothing to say. I’m not bitter or angry, just disinterested. That’s in real life. The Internet is a little better, but I’ve become more jaded of late. I think it’s one part mood and one part feeling very hamster-wheeled about online discussions.
Oh good!
Yeah, but there are things that you’re not supposed to talk about with strangers because it’s… I dunno, rude or something. But yeah, I like those kinds of conversations too. Just randomly talking about all sorts of things is better than talking about the weather… we can all see if it’s raining or not…
I feel ya on this. There isn’t much new being said - just back and forth, same-old-same-old. I do feel like here the same folks with the same BS points keep showing up on the BBS with regards to race/gender. We need a better class of trollies hitting us up. I’m tired of the same old nonsense…
