Colin,

I really appreciate this article. I appreciate most things you write, in fact. I was going to suggest that maybe you could amend the article to say what you did a few comments up, about the point of this article. Good shit. Keep it up.

I wrote a few sentences in reply to filmtime, that I was gonna leave out, but I can't help myself. I really want filmtime to know that a liberal arts college is not a license to claim knowledge of all things feminism, and actually, dude, makes you sound profoundly weak. Your diatribe against those girls in your program with the rich dads was not only inherently sexist, but is in fact the epitome of bell hooks' white supremacist racist patriarchy theory, which she espouses every chance she gets. In a few lines, you blamed gentrification (ne capitalism) on the girls in your feminist studies program and not at all on the men who created the patriarchal system of capitalism which allows gentrification to flourish! Apalling!

I would also caution you, filmtime, to avoid the trap that because you took some courses you're now well versed on feminist thought and theory, and to know which schools you're cribbing your notes from (1st, 2nd, 3rd wave? Marxist-feminism? Anarcha-feminsim? Liberal feminism? Capitalist-feminism? Anne Coulter? Rosey O'Donnell?) You've got a long way to climb before you hit the feminist peak, bro.

Thanks again, Colin. You're a gem!

Oh cool Hugo thanks for your input I'll take that all into consideration next time I am deliberating whether or not I want to start being a totally vile shithead instead of a decent human.

It's funny enough you have a pizza slice review website. You don't need to annoy us with your political correctness about gender relations! I wink at mad bitches all the time. And I gets the drawers. So whatever you have to say about it, only applies to you!

Slice Harvester,
On Match, the dating site, if you are interested in someone and perhaps are too shy to write an email, you wink. I get "winks" all the time from women. Seems innocuous to me. And I think that it really depends on whether the person being winked at is attracted to the person winking. I doubt many women would be bothered if Brad Pitt winked at them. Also, I think there is an assumption when you talk about winking that there is some sexual context associated with it. Sometimes people wink to communicate that they understand the funny/ridiculousness of some moment or to privately acknowledge "hey good job".

To Slice Harvester: Of Course I have a Goatee, I'm clearly satan.

You don't know what your miss out on, there going to be announcing it over the P.A at whole foods, " Pick up on aisle 9" " Mop on aisle 5, its getting wet" It's going to be all winking and critiques on modern day feminism, then I'm taking them out for Pizza.

on related note, where do you think the first Ray's pizza was located and 2 bros, best thing or worst thing ever.

This made my morning! Saw you on the morning news and decided to check out your site. You are a great writer and I'm looking forward to taking my husband over to Pizza Supremo. We live in NYC and LOVE pizza, but there is a lot of crap out. Thanks for narrowing it down. I'll be sharing your link on my new blog.

How about me and you conduct an experiment, a social experiment and Wink at women in Whole Foods and see who they think is Creepier, come on man, please come. I'll be at the Whole Foods on Houston St this Saturday at 4 pm, here's a image link.

2012-01-04T11:43:28.123-05:00

Thanks Allison.

I think I regret focusing so heavily on the conversation I had with my father because it seems to have left a lot of people fixated on this very specific thing-whether or not it is ever okay to wink at anyone (answer: WHO CARES?) when my intent was to open up a conversation about how people interact and the oftentimes very unhealthy ways people are conditioned to behave, and specifically how many straight men seem to interact AT women rather than interact WITH women.

The point of writing all this was not to say "DON'T EVER WINK AT ANYONE EVER" so much as "please consider that things you take for granted as okay might not be okay to some other people and when you learn that those things are not okay to those people, instead of becoming totally defensive, listen to them and genuinely consider their feelings," which SHOULDN'T be that radical a concept, but sadly, it is.

I think it's telling that so many people are so up in arms about their right to wink at strangers, too. Like, is that really such an integral part of anyone's personality that they can't bear to let it go?

I came across this after seeing another article about the completion of your pizza quest (congrats) and was pleasantly surprised to find this anecdote as well - thanks for posting it.

Getting winked at is so rare that I think that's why it comes off as creepy. And while discussing the merits of winking isn't part of the grand schema of intellectual feminism, it does reflect how feminism should be a part of our daily lives. Give women the same respect you would give to men (no matter which gender you're attracted to). Your blog post may not be a Betty Friedan philosophical masterpiece, but there's no better advice than asking people how they like to be treated, and then using that as a basis for how you interact with them and others. So simple - and yet people get worked up about it.

2012-01-03T18:53:06.376-05:00

I first want to say that I enjoy your blog and I did a crap job in my post.. Too put it simply in your initial post, you seemed to really over exaggerate “winking” as a form of Patriarchy and sexism. Granted you seem to be informed about topics and the history of feminism, how ever you also appear to be misinformed about what feminism is. Feminism is about equal rights, financial, social, etc. for women. And yes it also has to do with cultural norms and standards that are sexists, i.e. Pigheaded, lude and demeaning behavior toward females. The current opinions on what feminism or pigheaded behavior usually doesn’t come from scholars or individuals with a strong grasp on the topic and things such as claiming winking, trying to talk to women, anything that involves expressing an interest in another person can be considered sexists. As a person, It really is upsetting to see society consistently go past the point what initially makes a lot of sense to misrepresenting those important ideals. It makes for a repressive and conservative society on all though and expression, almost puritan in ways. Also I kind of have a chip on my shoulder because I went to a good Liberal Arts college and 2/3 of the woman I knew that did woman’s/gender/feminist studies, usually had rich parents, and would ridicule men, but they could take money from their fathers, now they all live in Brooklyn and Harlem , are part of the process of gentrification and make it harder for low income families to pay rent and lets say send their kids to school. So in my opinion, the really valid ideas by Women like Betty Fiedan, Bell Hooks, ETC. have been lost on this generation and is now a form of social sophistry and that seems to be what your trying to suggest.

dude, I agree with your thoughts, just I went to a liberal arts college and took feminist theory courses and I can say that you all have no idea about what femminism (sp) is. This is typical overly examining details and putting out of context. Hate to tell you this, but if a woman is interested in you she will talk/flirt back, sexuality predates feminist theory and all cultural learning be it bad or good. If you winked she would be more likely to be interested rather then some weird long pick conversation about patriarchy and weather or not your offending her making her think your insane. Also who shops at Whole Foods during a recession, rich people.

2012-01-01T22:56:48.521-05:00

Wow, that's a leap Slice Harvester!

Maybe you should ask your lady friends the following question:

#1: Have you ever fell for a guy that you were originally repulsed by?

The reality is that your dad could pick up some serious tail if he so chooses. The reason? Because the ladies will perceive him, not as a predator, but as confident.

Only if you're a predator.

2011-12-25T23:02:48.597-05:00

Colin, FWIW (and in the spirit of your request in the last paragraph of this post) I asked both my girlfriend and my sister how they felt re: men (strangers) winking at them. Their replies were the same - neither felt it was unacceptable (as a general rule...although both acknowledged there were circumstances where it could be creepy).
