Faux-juniors are exempt from that trend. It's only first-time juniors that are perma-banned on their first shot.
The mods occasionally show mercy, though, and I can't imagine that bsb went unnoticed until now, so.
They are? Huh. I didn't know that. I always thought it was one of the consequences that came with being perm junior'd. I guess thread privileges is the only one.

How does Junior membership work anyway. Is there a set of requirements to meet to get promoted to a regular member or something?
3 months and 300 posts before you become a regular member.

Well, I've got way over 300 posts already. Just gotta not be naughty for the next 2 months!
Except when we forget to check their file, assume they're real juniors, and permaban them anyway. Usually they send a note to someone and it gets fixed. Usually.
Edit: Also, this is a great article -- http://pamelaclark.tumblr.com/post/87113711124/35-practical-tools-for-men-to-further-feminist
Haha that's pretty interesting. Understandable though.
I'll give the article a read since it sounds good.
Don't believe Thanos's lies!
That was a lie put out by Zeliard to cover his tracks for whipping up that Thanos explosion the other day. As you'll notice by my red name, I am still a mod.

Oh my god that street harassment thread.
Ladies, bit of a rant and would love some feedback.
One of my roommates was working in California for the summer and we were trying to decide what to do with our month off before school starts again in September. We ultimately settled on me just meeting her in CA because it's her first time there for work, we're poor students, and I have friends all around that we can crash with making the stay super cheap. Plus, between socal and Bay Area and everything in between, seems like there's a lot to do.
A month ago, I'm trying to plan my trip out there and she's being kind of unenthusiastic, so I straight up ask her if she's having second thoughts, because I need to get the tickets booked and let my friends know, etc etc, and that she needs to say so because I would plan accordingly (not stay as long, basically). She just tells me, why would she be having second thoughts, of course she wants to stay, she met a guy and she wants more time with him, etc. So I booked my plane tickets, she doesn't have to do anything but pay a change fee to move her flight back 2 weeks or so. I set her up with one of my friends so she has someplace free to stay before I get there. She doesn't actually change her flight plans but as she says, she can do that whenever.
Now, she's been having some issues with her summer lease every since she moved in (basically, she lives with a crazy person). I've been trying to figure out wtf she's doing so I can make more concrete plans about when I get there, but she texts me yesterday (5 days before I fly out), she still hasn't changed her flight plans, says she got evicted and has been staying in a hotel for the past week, it's cost her close to $1k and she's not sure if she can stay anymore. I feel like I can't be like...well, you SAID you'd be there so suck it up honey and pay the change fee and keep me company, but I am mildly pissed. I do have friends out there but they all work so I can't hang out with anyone during the day, I can't cancel the trip now, 4 days before, so I basically have to fly out there and be by myself.
Also, when she started having serious problems with her summer roommate (her roommate is legitimately horrible, but she didn't exactly help the situation either, she was acting really passive aggressive back), I even offered to ask some of my friends if she could just stay the last week with them instead, I guaranteed they would not care. She said she thought about it, but decided to just stick it out her last week. So I'm also upset because if she just would have told me, she could have avoided this whole hotel nonsense. I haven't responded because I'm afraid I'm just going to be angry because it feels like she totally ditched me.
Am I being unreasonable? Give it to me straight, girl-gaf.

This thread, dear gods...
I must be very lucky because that pretty much never happens to me. I can't imagine what it must be like to be harassed rampantly like that, ugh. Does it depend on the place you live in, like poverty levels maybe? I'm not rich but I do live in a "nicer" part of town, I wonder if that's a factor.

Well then.

Hah, I know. I was mostly being sarcastic towards wildfire (who appears well-intended but kinda clueless in this thread... -_-).That's not it
The first time I ever got catcalled I was 12 yrs old and way across the street. It only mattered that I was visibly female.
I live in an urban area, but a mostly "nice" part of town, I'd say, and I worked in an expensive but touristy area (the old Montreal) and I've been in various parts of town though I rarely go in the scummier or poorer parts, at least not by myself. Maybe there's some truth about the stereotype of Canadians being polite or something...
but in all honesty I'm probably just very lucky.Mineshaft_Gap

I used to walk to school in Chicago. I'd get catcalled by these black dudes all the time on my way to middle school. Creep factor 5.

Certain streets are known areas for street walking and then assholes act like every woman walking down the street should be disrespected.
Some areas are just zones where you don't want to be but it's on your way to work so what can you do.

Thanks for the reply! I had a good rant about it to another friend and she's had the same complaints. She's otherwise a very good friend and roommate, just, as you said, so flakey. We just won't make plans in the future relying on her, I guess.
That's not it

It probably is more related to the amount of foot traffic and how much people live their life outdoors, which is a lot less in suburbia than urban spots.
You know whats funny, I got way more cat calls when I was in elementary school and early high-school then now, I think the world may be changing a little bit...I mean guys in trucks still scream nonsense that is not even words, so...I don't know.
That thread made me tired as hell, just repeating ourselves to guys that don't understand anything.
The Feminism for men thread ...I took a look and was like...'no way too tired for this shit'.
You aren't overreacting. I've just avoided OT today. The feminism/sexism threads always make me unhappy. These are the same posters who show more empathy for Elliot Rogers and pedophiles than they do for women.

If you did, you'd really just have to watch your tone. You're unlikely to get banned for having a well-reasoned opinion.

Some of the comments in that Christina Aguilera thread - eugh. It's great to see a mod trying to tackle the truly gross crap, but I think it's a lost cause. Why do some guys think other people are interested in what they masturbate to?
It could have become a discussion about the representation of pregnant women in art and media, but that ship sailed a ling time ago.

That rape poster thread.
uuuggggghhhhhh
uuuggggghhhhhh
What's going on in it?
Poster of a victimized woman shown with the text "One in three reported rapes happens when the victim has been drinking."
Many responses of something like, "That's not victim blaming. That's just telling women to be careful," again and again and again and again and again.
