I’m sure you’re not the only one, but you’re objectively incorrect. There is abundant evidence that shock, panic, denial, freezing up, and dissociating from your body are statistically *far more normal* responses to being plunged directly from a situation where you feel safe to one where you feel violated. You can…

So I’m a non-status flyer. I’m also thrifty and I used to be somewhat poor, but not so poor that I didn’t save what money I could to travel. I simply love flying places.

Aren’t escort cards the things you get handed by guys on the sidewalk in Vegas?

Yes, the only life that is almost definitely ruined will be that of La Cour and he probably deserves it. Dr. Green will likely be okay in the long run. It isn’t as if the cause of gay rights will be destroyed over this.

:( She’s wonderful. Not only funny, but she was heartbreaking on Sex and the City. I feel like I took her for granted because you’d see her everywhere, but she was never the star, she just did her job and she was perfect.

More news out of the music world, except this time it kind of sucks:

Let me tell you about what life is like as a fat sexworker. My job involves sharing photos of myself as a strong, sexy, sexual woman, in varying degrees of undress. It involves me setting a figure - a not inexpensive one, either - on what I feel access to my body is worth.

This, for a myriad of reasons, makes some men…

Not to be a Debbie Downer—-and I don’t think this article necessarily advocates this—-but I think it’s important to be mindful of the whole “Privileged (and typically White) Woman looking for her Carribbean/Latin American/African Sex Play Thing While on Vacay.”

i don’t want to be that person (aka a “debby downer” or someone who takes something seemingly light to a dark place) but something about this post (or perhaps the responses of the interviewees within it/comments) skeeved me out a bit. i have seen a zillion and one pages by men posting about their experiences with…

Thanks so much for this. It’s exactly the kind of rude vitriolic ridiculousness that makes my point. Enjoy Jezebel, I think you’re gonna fit right in here. Hope you’re out of the grays soon so you can really go to town on people you don’t know anything much about.

I just looked at the byline again. You're being too generous, and I really like you for it. The author filed this under "posers", which is editorial enough for me.

It's just my opinion, but publicly shaming someone for something so superficial is a mean thing to do. I guess it's technically true that the author didn't "editorialize," since there isn't any copy to speak of at all, just a mocking headline and pictures, but to me that is almost worse. Passive aggression is still…

What a great idea! Jazz Fest is in two weeks. I'm gonna get a camera, buy a ticket, and spend the day finding people who are not dressed to my taste and make them think I like their outfit so they will pose for me. Then I'm gonna put huge pictures on the Internet without bothering to obscure their faces. I want…

Of course he has an answer. 'Get cancer and fucked by a rake."

So no comment on whyyou've been gone?

Any response to the 1000+ comments concerning your writing here, on Groupthink, and on Live Journal?

See? Men are just TOO emotional to be president. What if he gets into a spiteful bad mood and launches nukes or something? Men have such delicate feelings and just can’t control them, the poor dears.

I know this is about favourites and things you love but its also promoting a lot of brands that test on animals and have poor environmental practices. Its really important to make sure we aren't promoting products that are made by unnecessary, cruel and archaic methods. Not trying to preach but this is one of the…

My collection of lipsticks and lip glosses is so monstrously huge that I can't keep them all in one spot for fear of someone seeing them all together and knowing how big my stash truly is. I've never counted how many lipsticks I own because I don't want to know, but even after the big purge I did last fall I'd be…
