Yes, please nobody conclude that evo psych (as commonly understood by MRAs) is any kind of science, social or otherwise.

Angry boy-blogger who lives in his parents' basement and writes books on how to get laid:

That is fucking brilliant. And well executed. Thank you.

Yes, exactly. Seeing only (or primarily) someone's colour is not exactly progressive and humanistic, whether you make a point of only dating your own race or only dating another race.

See, that's why you get to be Liz Lemon's Gym Bag and I don't. Bravo.

A friend of mine would say, in a totally earnest and not creepy way, "if you go home with me I guarantee you the best 90 seconds of my life." He was funny and brilliant, which of course helps, but I'm sure I would have given him a try if I'd ever been single at the same time as him.

If you could have Xanax and sex, would life be perfect? I want to say "yes."

God, when I was single I had a fatal weakness for shtick like this.

Telling other people what should offend them, and being offended-by-proxy for them, is itself a form of appropriation and Orientalism.

That is a very good point. Thank you.

It bothers me because it can be suboptimal to have bleached and absorbent paper pressed against mucous membranes even during periods, when they're getting pretty full of blood, let alone month-round, when they'll be drying up the membranes. Clearly this isn't a problem for many people, but it's a serious problem for…

My understanding is that a more acidic vagina (heh, not a phrase I ever though I'd write) is healthier, because it discourages growth of bacteria and yeast.

Yeah. My point isn't so much that it's NOT thin privilege, but that it's also shoddy science and shoddy business. Expecting businesses to be moral is a stretch, but expecting them to carry out good research, and to make their products useable by as big a chunk of the population as possible, both for their own ultimate…

Excellent. That is just exactly it. Not only is the law a teacher, but teachers and adults are supposed to be, well, teachers too.

Also reduces the likelihood of implantation of a fertilized egg, btw. Which I don't consider morally problematic at all, but if it only prevented ovulation it would be totally fucking useless for a good chunk of the menstrual cycle, when in fact it reduces the odds of pregnancy even after ovulation.

Well, it is their fault if this is an assumption they're making and yet they don't state it explicitly for prescribers and consumers, particularly given that the increasing scarcity of <25 BMI bodies in the US is not exactly a) new b) a secret.

I worked in a women's clinic providing peer counselling on birth control options. Every few months we met with a doctor who updated us on best practices, new evidence, new options and so on related to birth control and abortion options. I never, ever heard about this. I'm also fairly neurotic about my own medical…
