Are you seriously saying that I can’t have loud sex in my own fucking apartment? Like I wouldn’t do it with the window open, but I think it would be kind of silly to have to forego fucking just because someone MIGHT hear when it’s my own home.

I mean this is clearly a sick woman we are dealing with. On the other hand,with what little I know about her, I’d take everything she said with a grain of salt.

Nooooo....

Dear Death,

Melissa McCarthy is great, not really sure why you’re comparing the two.

Watson has distinguished himself significantly in his advocacy for racism; I’d argue that he’s actually a good deal worse than this guy, who’s more of a garden-variety asshole.

Generally speaking, the argument for late term abortions is that they really, really do not happen unless either the mother or fetus is at extreme risk. All outlawing it does is make it more difficult for the woman to get her desperately needed medical procedure. That’s it. More hoops to jump through. More red tape.…

I assure you abortions existed 2000 years ago.

Is a 2mo old attached to a human body?!?!!

I believe the generally accepted view is that there isn’t ever ONE cause; suicide happens due to a build…

Thank you, good reporting of suicide saves lives.

Patrick: Did you not consider this issue before or during the writing of the article? Because this counterpoint to your advice is widely available in any even minimally feminist space and the article is lacking without it. Captain Awkward would be a great place to start.

That happens so often it makes my head spin. I love that this article is coming from a good place, but I know from experience that lots of guys get very offended and verbally or physically abusive when you tell them no straight to their faces. It’s dangerous to be so naive.

Here’s the thing. Of course it is better to be direct, and personally I always am in these situations. But there’s a reason why some people aren’t, and that reason is that sometimes the person who’s asking for the date is completely unreasonable. Remember last year when a woman got stabbed in a club for not giving a…
