4. That was my thought too.
That would entirely change the meaning of the picture. Showing the two pictures side by side would show the gender bias pretty clearly.

7. I guess I'm not sure.
:(

It's raining. I think I'm medicating enough to keep up with it, without overmedicating. I guess I'm doing kinda okay.

Today hurts, but not so much that I can't handle it. :)

:hug:

12. Exactly
Write this on a Post-It for easy reference:

He's a stud.
She's a slut.

13. That's a good point, but...
The same can be said of countless commercials and print-ads, sadly. This one's just a little more straightforward about it.

3. That's an ad?
Why would 3M want to be associated with that?

8. I think everyone, of both genders, should be required to have a post it note with their name on it.
on their forehead. It's an idea whose time has come.

Thank you.

10. I knew a guy who got a "Hello, My name is: (his name)" sticker tattooed on his chest
for that very scenario. I thought it was very thoughtful of him. I'm thinking about doing the same thing, but I don't want to be a copy-cat.
