Even then, it's probably not a good idea to say, "Let me see your crotch!" unless you know them *very* well and have the type of friendship where you're both cool with it.
When/If I get bottom surgery, I'll wear skinny jeans/yoga pants so that no one feels the need to ask about my genitals.

I don't get guys who wear skinny jeans.

I mean.....we have stuff down there. How does it fit?

Tucking. Or just let the whole world see it if you're feeling bold.

Oh, someone make me afraid of what I’ve become!

People who use the 'slut-shaming' argument as a defense for objectifying women in comics/games.  No, these women aren't "choosing what they wear" and they're not "in control and proud of their sexuality"; they're fictional beings who were deliberately designed, either by creator or their superior, to be appealing to men.  Complaining about the constant use of the 'tits-and-ass' pose, the impractical revealing outfits, the frequent panel focus on cleavage and ass, isn't slut-shaming; calling it so is a disservice because you're giving these media outlets a convenient defense for continued objectification.  It's not about making a statement for women, it's about making sure that these characters are enjoyable for men.

The same goes for Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines video.  You wouldn't believe the number of people who said there was nothing wrong with the video because "nobody forced those women to do the video, they obviously wanted/enjoyed it."  I can't help but think of Perfect Blue as a response.

People who change the spellings of their names to seem more "unique".

My friend's ex keeps changing the spelling on Facebook. She's gone from Crystal to Krystal to Krhystal. I'm waiting for the day when her name reads as "Khrhystelle".

It's funny, 'cause she used to go by "Kristen", then various spellings of that name, while also using "Crystal" (and various spellings), and no one seems to know which one is her real name.

Khrystal is gross looking, krystal is a skank name and crystal is just hippyish

I also hate it when parents take unique name spellings to the extreme to make their kid a special snowflake. Stuff like Mehghanne (Megan).
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

I get uncomfortable just sitting in jeans that are a little too small for me.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

My given name is an example of this. My mom wanted to name me after her sister and ended up naming me after a hamlet in Finland. It's part of the reason my chosen name is aggressively normal.

People will occasionally misspell my name with one of its special snowflake spellings. It's such a simple name to spell to begin with, so why assume that it has a bunch of extra, unnecessary letters?

Wait, what? What is your given name?
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

It's aggressively unique, and I'm not comfortable with it.

Theres no place called Agressively unique in Finland!

Just kidding. I'm not going to force you if you do not wish to say it. I was just curious. Particularly since picking a name from finnish hamlets could get anything from "crazy-awesome but impossible to pronounce by foreigners" to just "impossible to pronounce by foreigners."

Yeah, she's turning into Tina*. And apparently does it, a lot.
