Well, that was fun.

Nice try little man.
Quote by Milik_the_Red
I have a couple of suggestions.
The first, put in the vault. A genre that rabidly popular and written with Lush’s usual quality would surly help sell memberships. (Other unsavory genres could be placed there too, but enough of that)
Second. PLEASE don’t allow stories to take up space but the top ten stories of the last month. I don’t think many of us want to see How I Screwed My Daddy as the top five stories all the time.
Right. Peace out.

current members weren’t consulted to see if those of us already here wanted the reintroduction of such a divisive category.
Quote by Milik_the_Red
So I say now, even though I agree in adding the new genre, that trying to say we are protecting women’s issue while allowing is farcical.

Yes, I have had a woman offer to hold the door for me. But I simply tell them that it isn't right and I was raised better than that and I take the door to allow them to go in first. Haven't had one yet refuse me!
Quote by Verbal
I have been described by a few Lushies as having an Alpha male petsona here, which is odd, because that's not the vibe I feel I give off (or intend to give off).
Quote by BethanyFrasier
I think there may be a wide disparity of how I'm perceived here on Lush. But I'm pretty much the same irl as I am here.

Moving friends around always results in a Spanish Inquisition! As trinket says, best way is to hide the list!

Edit: Generalised may not be the way Americans spell it, but in the country where the English language comes from, they do spell it that way.

Some of you put waaay too much faith in Burquette's cool, calm exterior. She will fuck you up if you keep stinking up her #MeToo thread, even in the Spa. Seriously, I've seen her do it. She keeps a shovel and a bag of lye in her trunk.
Can't say you haven't been warned...

i'd like to thank MF for so well illustrating why this, and the HW, thread exist. people have commented on 'why didn't she speak up, say something, report him, etc'. it's because of attitudes like this. we're not taken seriously. we're dismissed. it's joked about. obviously, it's not funny to the person who's been the subject of harassment or assault. but yeah, at some point in time, you realize that speaking up is akin to banging your head against the wall. sure, some of what we've been talking about in here have been "minor incidents", but how many of us have put up with all the little things, day in and day out, without anyone stepping in and saying 'that's not right' or without feeling comfortable about confronting the perpetrator for whatever reason. their position of power, their physical power, the cultural power that backs them up.
we get comments daily about our asses, whistled at, leered at and we're told to lighten up if we respond negatively. that's just a step away from giving permission to be fondled or groped, which in turn, a step away from being assaulted, but yeah, just lighten up. and yeah, we've all done it. instead of confrontation, we've ducked into a crowded store so we're safe. we've stayed home so we're safe. we keep our backs to the wall so we're safe. we stay at home so we're safe. we don't go out at night so we're safe. but yeah, lighten up, girls.
yeah, make jokes. the thing is, unless it's happened to you, you have no idea how it feels. anyone whose gone through it doesn't think it's funny, and doesn't think it's something to be taken lightly. i just hope that his attitude, his presence, doesn't put people off about participating her, about speaking up, about not allowing themselves to be silenced.

There once was a girl who liked boobies. She liked them a whole lot. One day, in the locker room, she got to touch another girl's breasts. And then, they lived happily ever after.
