       @meghanmurphy Also, there's a flag for "sapiosexual" aka being attracted to someone who intellectually stimulates you. Because apparently, dating someone with whom you can actually have a conversation is just as extraordinary as not wanting to drop your panties at first chance.

       @meghanmurphy I second that. There are many public figures who refuse to "come out" to their followers out of fear of losing their respect or seeing their book sales drop or something. I've heard of a published feminist writer who confessed she was too scared to even "like" a GC tweet for fear of the backlash. We would really need these people to speak up in France. What good does it do to call yourself a feminist activist and cower out of fear of backlash from people who have done nothing but smear their sisters, at the cost of losing friends and basic respect from strangers, both in real life and online where abuse is rising up. If the people in power won't publicly speak out in favour of their people, then the people will make them sit down and listen. Names are powerful. Anonymity can be easily disregarded. Let's show that there are people behind ideas, people who can be vastly different from each other, people who are not just shadows and who can't easily be discredited as "internet trolls". That's how we get our legitimacy back from those who attack us from a place of power with their names, titles and public reputations written all over the media and in associations. That's what free speech means at its core : being unafraid to tell the truth as your own person, a person with a name and a life. Anonymity creates a gap between us. The human cost is staggering.

       @Lemondrizzle @Gill_TSQ There's theory and then there is ideology. School is a place of learning. It should make sure that students are searching for the truth, not evidence to confirm their political convictions. This mess is largely inherited from student activism.

       @Cyclou Autant interdire les prénoms qui ne sont pas mixtes, dans ce cas-là... Trop discriminant d'assigner un prénom masculin ou féminin. :grr:
