Nobody is judging her choice to abstain from sex. She can and should be able to do (or not do) whatever she wants with her body. People are criticizing the tone of moral superiority she employs throughout her article and her apparent reliance on misinformation. She seems to think that a woman is either a virgin before…

She has really weird ideas about what life is like for someone who is not abstinent. I didn’t have any pregnancy or STD scares in the ten years I was sexually active and not married and I was about the sluttiest slut that ever slutted.

But promoting chastity as the best path to a full, independent life isn’t feminist at all. No one tells young men that if they want to really enjoy their lives, experience new things, and have a rewarding career, they’ll have to give up romantic relationships and any hope of having a family. Of course it’s fine for…

Absolutely. Her assumption is that women who have sex before marriage are inherently burdened by that situation which is just absurd and I can't imagine comes from anywhere but a place of trying to stake claim to some sort of moral high ground which, hey now, is pretty fucking un-feminist in judging other women for…

This jumped out:

Choosing chastity because you dig that lifestyle is feminism. Choosing chastity because sex = sin and realizing that you like being chaste is Stockholm Syndrome.

Yeah I mean I feel like this lady thought she’d get more intrigue by a click baity title. There’s nothing inherently feminist about abstinence, in fact I’d say if your motivation is based on a commandment from a patriarchal religion then there’s an argument to be made that it is not feminist at all. I really don’t…

It’s already starting now.

Man I hope I don’t come across as a sanctimonious prick, but the NFL is borderline unwatchable. It’s super fucking slow. The fanbases are basically the worst subset of humanity in each city. The players are mostly god awful human beings. The league has done everything it can to not pay for medical care for what…

Honestly, I think I’m only still watching the NFL for the same reason I’m still on Facebook: social pressure. Like 80 percent of my friend group cares about these games, our fantasy league has been a great way for my ever-sprawling college-era clan to keep in touch, it’s a good thing to chat with my dad about when I…

Any helmet-to-helmet hit should have an automatic timeout and have officials review the play to determine whether the hit was intentional (or, fine, avoidable) or not. If so, you’re out of the fucking game and should be suspended if a repeated offender.

I had no idea how close I was to reaching a turning point in my relationship with this sport until last night. Like, I was goddamn hyped for that game and by the end my excitement for the start of the season had been entirely replaced by frustration. The second half was basically a showcase for everything wrong with…

It’s hard to qualify in words, and therefore just as hard to put into an NFL rulebook, but there’s a certain level of human violence I’m willing to accept from my sports.

They do, they’re just all deflated. COINCIDENCE?!

I said this in an earlier post, but I’ll repeat it here, the solution to these kinds of hits isn’t hard.

All I can say is thank CHRIST they penalized that one guy for jumping up and down after his team scored a touchdown. We need to keep that sort of behavior in check.

I honestly want that tidbit publicized by Deadspin and others as much as humanly possible. The NFL commissioner became frustrated with his head of officials and was rendered unable to restrain himself from laying hands on the guy and shoving him around. That’s absolutely appalling, and a real key insight into the lack…

It seems pretty basic that at this point in the league’s history they should have full time officials (like in other sports) who spend their time in between games studying film and doing whatever is necessary to improve their skills.

he was so frustrated and, I’m sure, getting so much heat from Cleveland that he gave me a hard shove into my door to try and continue the argument about McAulay in my office.

What a horrible, horrible cover to a book. I was half expecting to see some bold yellow text “DID OBAMA BIRTH ELVIS LIZARD BOY?” going across.
