I think this is a really interesting problem and has maybe as much to do with age as it does sex. My first instinct if I had a younger person who’d been wronged would be to advise them to take the money, knowing what kind of options a mid-six or seven-figure payout would give them, especially knowing that the defense…

This article from the Times says that single instance rapists aren’t unusual: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/health/men-rape-sexual-assault.html

From my dinner table a few years ago after my father-in-law was scraping the bottom of his bowl of vegetable chili I’d made:

Women initiate somewhere between 60% and 80% of divorces, so for a solid majority, it’s worth being poorer to be rid of the schmucks. Maybe just make divorce decrees more economically equitable?

I would also note that nothing about avoiding women protects you from false accusations. I know two men who were exonerated (one for rape and one for harassment). The guy who was accused of rape never met the woman who accused him. He was never alone with her. She just claimed he attacked her at night. It turned out…

The only reason Spacey isn’t getting away with it is because a victim became famous enough that he would be believed, so yeah, used to be they always got away with it. Now they need to pick victims too powerless to pose a threat.

I’m so paranoid at this point that I’m wondering if she’s just a paid Russian stooge. I mean, it certainly looks like Jill Stein was. It’s not just the right wing that can be infiltrated.

Seriously? WTF? It’s not hard! It’s not! Keep your hands to yourself. Don’t say gross shit. When you grab women and say stuff about their bodies or things you like about their appearance or God forbid things you’d like to do to their bodies (Yuck!), they have trouble sleeping because they’re thinking about what they…

I felt like kind of a moron for feeling like that, but I totally felt happier that an American won than if the Keitanny had gotten her 4th.

The housework is sexy meme is so ugh. I mean, I guess if your spouse is full of resentment, she definitely won’t be down for it (unless hate sex is her thing); but I feel like “I find a man doing housework sexy” is about as common as “I find being filled with resentment sexy.” That is to say, do your share to make…

Yeah. It’s weird how leering feels so much different when there’s virtually no chance of its being followed up with rape and/or murder. It’s almost like context matters?

I also like this one and am decidedly meh on the other ones.

Just have some cut and paste responses to emails with basic questions. The nudniks won’t answer them, so you’ll know right away they aren’t serious. Go ahead and block anyone who annoys you even a little bit. We had a VP who went on like 50 dates in a month when he started. Very focused on finding a spouse. Anyway, he…

So I work as a data analyst for an online dating company, and I’ll say that people who have success (as in “I met someone I want to be exclusive with, so I’m leaving the site”) disproportionately have it early in the experience. My advice is to go on a site, find some people who seem promising, go on dates with them,…

I feel like this would only be redeemed if the movie were moved to Japan, and Chloe Grace Moretz character is played by an average 55-year-old woman who is set on taking over the yakuza. She murders the Malkovich yakuza boss, takes over, and installs the Louis CK character as an underling below his previous status…

I’ve got to believe the nannies also want to be left the fuck alone. At least now I have justification for why I never wanted to be friends with any playground dads. My wife would sometimes come home and be like “I met this other dad. He was super friendly, gave me his number. You should call him.” I was like, “I…

Fuck. Seriously? I always found the bullshit polite parent chit chat to be unbearably awkward. I can’t imagine being like, “You know what would make this better? Being super gross and inappropriate!”

Just to put it out there. Some dudes are so terrible that their ugly-assed penises aren’t the worst thing about them. E.g., Donald Trump, whose penis is probably way worse than average but who manages to be so bad in other ways that any part of his admittedly grotesque corporeal form is a relative strength.

Seriously. I mostly think sports are boring, but football and combat sports are completely unethical. You can’t ask people to try and make the trade-off between short term rewards/glory and long term brain health. We’re not wired to make a good choice in that situation.

OMG. This was the dumbest fucking article. It could have actually been a good one. “It has not happened in every workplace, of course, and depends in part on company culture and employees’ trust in human resources to appropriately deal with harassment.” seems like the area to investigate. I.e., I’ve known people…
