Week? Shit, in Texas they make you take three full years of Texas History, once each at the Elementary, Middle, and High School levels. The only thing I got out of it is the ability to list the Six Flags (cause, ya know, living in a place only counts if you have a flag).

Wow. So you're straight up saying, in many messages, that you are a sexist about feminism! I'm almost not even mad, I'm so impressed!

"A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men"

No. This assumes that gendered discrimination is tied to biological equipment, which sounds to me like the opposite of feminism. Men can experience gender discrimination - AND DO, DAILY - simply for not being masculine enough. Masculinity and patriarchy do not discriminate along biological sex lines, they are…

Bless your heart. Your logic would apply if he were referring to himself as a woman. But he's not, he's referring to himself as a feminist. Feminism is a movement, not an identity. You don't choose to be born a woman but you do choose to be a feminist. The "marginalised" group is women, not feminists. The terms aren't…

I think there's a few people that were killed in Mississippi that would disagree with you, had they not been killed for being civil rights workers. I can never understand what it is to be a person of color and so yes, I will be an ally, but I'm pretty certain I can also be a civil rights worker. And I'm pretty sure…

Last time I checked, being a feminist is about the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. It says nothing about it being a girls club or anything like that

Are people never allowed to grow and evolve in their perspectives? When I was 17-20, I regularly espoused my beliefs that civil unions were fine, being trans was all made up nonsense, that abortion was wrong,and that affirmative action is bullshit.

Did it really seem like I was trying to talk down to women? Did it really seem like that was my intention? Don't you think that, deep down in my heart, I was trying to say something interesting and positive — and funny? Do you really have to write some mean thing? Isn't there much worse shit going on? Am I really the…

unrelated: are we going to talk about how 46 senators just committed borderline treason yesterday? been waiting for a gawker/jez article to properly articulate this fuckery

Ghostbusters, schmostbusters. THIS is the sequel I've been craving.

We're only hearing her version of the story, and even as she tells it, she cheated on him without telling, and only fessed up when he discovered it on his own, then she made him an ultimatum to either let her continue or she'd dump him. It's not clear to me that he's as cool with it as she thinks. It's also very…

I just have a hard time believing that he has one thing and that is all the sexy/kinky stuff he can have and that just happens to be the one thing that she cannot/will not do. It seems like there is a LOT missing from her account. But I mean- whatever. I'm just another jackass on the internet.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm with you. Basically, what choice does her husband have?? I would assume it is a shot to his ego that he was once an active, vibrant man able to please his wife and she him. Now he can no longer please her sexually and must rely on her for his own well being. So that has to just be mentally and emotionally…

My wife and I have been together for 10 years, married for 4. My wife has a form of muscular dystrophy that, while not preventing us from having sex, reliant on me for essentially everything, from providing food to rolling over at night. She came across the article and was just abhorrent because it hit so close to…

Back to that pure hypothetical. You are telling me that finding/carrying on multiple side lovers is easier than taking a class to participate in your spouses kink? And, relationships are about compromise. I learn the safe, sane, consensual way to whip you, you explore different positions/sex furniture to assist the…

It sort of makes it sound like illness is a totally acceptable reason to cheat. That kind of blows my mind. I have an illness right now that has left me physically unable to do a lot of what I did before. I already feel horrible guilt about how this has affected the lives of everyone in my family. The last thing I…

I don't think it's very fair to say "most relationships would be better if they were non-monogamous to some extent." YOUR relationships might be better, and that's awesome. But that's not true for everyone. Some people are truly happy being monogamous.
