It isn't possible to go 'too far' when we are talking about equality. 2.they use their rights to get away with anything and everything, Men have been doing this since, well, ever. Male privilege is ingrained,... |

I don't usually mind.
That said, I don't like being stared at, due to it's judgmental connotations. |

It's been a while since I've felt really strong emotion (Not really willing to put a time frame on it, I honestly can't remember.)
What type of music (if any) produces an emotional response in you? |

Basically, one who conforms to the idea of what a weird person should be is fine (think, well, most subcultures.) One who does not is seen as committing a ma... |

| That used to annoy me, too. She is a NT, right? She is reading (and writing) between the lines. So when you say, that you have AS, she hears it as if you said: - Mom, there is something terribly wrong with me. I feel bad. I hope you still love me. And she says: - No, you can't have AS, because you ... |
