Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.

It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

I like this response. Here's the thing: I (a female) have never been to a club, because I've seen the stupid crap required to get into one on multiple occasions, including wearing ridiculously "sexy" clothing. Most of the time, it doesn't bother me, but I know that I don't have a hugely social life in part because I don't go to clubs. There are many days I feel absolutely shitty because I don't wear what society deems as acceptable attire for my gender. I hear the rude remarks from both men and women, because I wear jeans and loose-fitting t-shirts due to not feeling comfortable with my weight (a thing I am actively working on, and is starting to change though I am not morbidly obese or anything considered truly shocking). Society, for good or bad, judges me because of what I wear, because we are inundated endlessly with what should and should not be allowed in public. I get it.

However, I know that heels are a bitch and a half to wear. I try to avoid them, but working in an office means I am also subject to them. I would be absolutely grateful if someone lent me their shoes so I did not have to walk home in heels. After one time, and now that I have been informed of those crazy shoes you can put in your purse, I'd start bringing those. Would I give my flats to a woman in pain from wearing heels if conditions were suitable? Hell yes. Would do that for a man just as readily, if they had some crazy tight shoes on that were killing their feet? Hell yes again.

I partially agree with OP, though the way it's presented seems a little excessively negative. The real issue here is the definition of this being a male-oriented expectation. Women are just as capable of selfless, small acts for others, so applaud them as well as men, and don't infuse it with a gender orientation. Get "True Humanitarian" into the vernacular instead.
