I shouldn't pull this out of the grays, but it needs to be said:

I love her channel so much. High school students would probably get better sex ed from putting her videos on the overhead while the teacher takes a smoke break than they do from actual curriculum.

"Are you sure you weren't actually too aggressive the first year and then too quiet the second?"

If you look at the religious denominations that allow women full participation in all leadership positions you will find they are generally pro-birth control and pro-choice. This has been true since the 70s.

Are you trolling, or are you seriously, on an article about how men don't take women at face value about what they say, asking me if I meant what I said when I said that this is a thing that regularly occurs? My insertion of "slightly different words" was a bone I threw to suggest that not all men just steal the words…

Anyone who has ever sat in a classroom/meeting/whatever and made a point, been told it's not exactly right, only to hear a man in the room repeat THE EXACT SAME POINT in slightly different words, and be told he's a visionary, has experienced the rage. It more or less sums up like 50% of graduate seminars, and no doubt…

The lack of plus-size workout clothes infuriates me. Clearly, we fatties don't work out AMIRITE?!

I am 38 and started college when I was 16, so I am pretty sure I went to college earlier than the author.

Well, in our infant room, which is children 12 months old and younger, they learn "nice hands," starting as soon as hand movement is voluntary. We touch our friends with nice hands. That's more geared toward not hitting each other, though. But once they're in the next room, in my opinion, that's when they are really…

It needs to start even earlier than that. I work in a day care and I teach pre-school-aged children consent. "No means no and stop means stop." gets tossed around a lot in my class. They ask for permission to touch or hug. They understand that there are ways to say no that don't involve talking (My class is 4 and 5…

Just a little clarification: Doe Eyes is AKA Dr. Lindsey Doe, a sexologist and host of the popular "Sexplanations" YouTube channel.

There IS. Cambridge is its own little world.

It's ok, I still don't understand Kinja commenting. I would say most dads internalize things. Especially the ones from the WWII and Vietnam generations. My dad and I have always had a good relationship, but since I've gotten married and have a child of my own we've gotten a lot closer.

All of these things are fair and rational requests to make. Can't see any reason anyone would have a problem with any of them.

eShakti.com is THE BEST if you're into cute dresses and retro vibes. Sizes 0-36, but you can also send them custom measurements. Their clothes aren't cheap cheap, but they're great quality and will last for years. It's worth the investment.

Here is the thing (and I'm sure I'm about to piss a lot of people off, but I'm going to say it anyway): Both of my sons are autistic. They were autistic before they had their shots, and we saw signs before they were vaccinated. We vaccinated them anyway, because vaccines do not cause autism.

Can you call a child by this name? It's a name for boys and girls. Would you never call a child by this name? It's not a name for children, probably not a name for use in public either.

Owning a gun does not make you safer. It makes you more than four times as likely to be shot either fatally or nonfatally as compared to the general population.

'Innocent until proven guilty' is a standard that exists specifically for and within the judicial system. Yes, it's true that we shouldn't just believe everything we read without question, but that doesn't mean withholding all judgement until a uniquely judicial standard is satisfied is appropriate either.
