Teaching men to not rape is the only valid way to prevent rape. These kinds of "rape prevention" ideas that put the responsibility on women for their own safety is just another tool for the rape culture to victim blame when rapes happen, because they didn't follow the "rape prevention" manual closely enough.

I just won a bet with myself as I was sure Kahlua would play a part in that cocktail. But Jesus Murphy, what a nightmare in a glass.

So what, quit yer bitchin'.

Good on you. These child-endangering willfully-ignorant dolts deserve all they shame they've brought on themselves.

We need Democrat leaders across the nation to start calling out anti-choicers now. They are not "pro-life" they are not "anti-abortion" they are simply anti-choice.

This makes me want to form a huge biker gang to chill outside abortion clinics and intimidate protesters with their very presence, like The Patriot Guard does with Westboro Church at funerals. Recruit the loudest, biggest, burliest, scariest bikers and have them rev their engines or stand around menacingly and inch…

Why don't we just call this what it is - it's terrorism.

It makes me sad and conflicted that Neil Gaiman is married to her, and continues to be married to her, seemingly by his own choice

What I see in my head every time a Republican does this:

It's avocado, sunflower, and grapeseed oil. You'll be fine. Think of it as dressing for your cuticle salad.

They don't actually give a fuck about you while you're in the womb either. They don't care about the "baby." They care about punishing the slut who chose to have sex out of wedlock without the intention of spawning.

Teddy Ruxpin was pretty much my religion when I was 5. Maybe that's why church didn't stick. The devil already had my soul.

I want to offer my services to all media outlets as the expert in "how not to say stupid shit about rape."

In fact, he's repeatedly denied it. This is why I've been so angry any time Bruce comes back up in the tabloids, and all the media who covers the tabloids. Even we, here at Jez, need to be awfully careful to just "cover the coverage" and not insinuate that Bruce is transitioning. Whether he is or not is actually…

Forever grey, hope y'all will see this: Having been homeless, please let me attest to how very shitty it is to have your period and no supplies. Homeless teens have it even worse, because usually going to a shelter means someone calling CPS. For the first month, I had supplies I'd taken from home. The second month, I…

Yup, I'm fine with this being banned. We should also add ear and tail docking to the list too, while we're at it.

Yes. This is something abusers do to victims to humiliate and debase them. Filing a police report and getting an order of protection would not be out of line at all.

Dr. Phil's reaction, to call a teenager a bitch, is a not insignificant part of why I'm interested in getting trained to deliver dialectical behavior therapy. In DBT, there's a codified intervention technique called irreverent communication which is especially useful in working with teens. Essentially, you say some…
