She was an asshole, but Aiden was just not it. He would have made me want to drown myself in the soymilk at the bottom of my corn flakes.

Yes, your opinion is much more important because you are a mother. Please go on.

I had exactly the same thought. I think not having kids (or having as few as possible) should be incentivized, but not prohibited. Banning childbirth is just as wrong as banning abortion.

You’re not alone in your thought. With this new policy, I guess we should up the estimate for world population in 2100 from 11 bn to 12 bn. Thank god I’ll be dead by then, because the planet will be a wasteland.

See, I thought Jez was side-eyeing Mayim because, well, she is a little wacky about some parenting stuff and I can see where that taints her as a source if you’re trying to be snarky. I wasn’t thinking about it in terms of sex-skepticism.

I don’t watch BBT unless I’m too lazy to find something better when the reruns are on, but Mayim’s essay was pretty good. She basically says a)it’s creepy and sexist that people kept asking her if this fictional character who her fictional character had fictional sex with was “good” and b)the characters had fun, and…

First and foremost you kinja name is fantastic and it made my day.

The murders happened during Spring Break of first year, so we all had been living in the dorm together approx. 7 months. Her first relationship at UVa was with my roommate. They were together for only 5 or 6 weeks, but it was intense. She dumped him right before Christmas Break. It was at least partially because he…

the conspicuous absence of the male gaze

not her idea she was very uncomfortable at the end

I found this interview completely delightful, but I worry about how the hosts seem to introduce the clip and react to her like she’s some kook, instead of a whip-smart intellect. She’s more than wacky—she’s making a deliberate choice to turn her high intelligence and highly tuned BS-meter into humor instead of despair…

Ugh....please, please, don’t start.

Carrie Fisher won all of my love when she massacred Roseanne’s roast, outta fucking nowhere. It was like what Martha Stewart did in the Bieber roast, only less forced and more batshit insane. Skip to 24 minutes for the fireworks display!

Can’t believe all the millennial children getting upset about porn stars. It’s like you’re surprised that scum act like scum....

People are going to say you “can’t choose your kinks”, but come on, it’s not surprising that men get off on raping/abusing/torturing women. It’s not surprising that ‘painal’ (pain from anal) is a huge subgenre, as is everything and anything that shows women in pain and women not consenting to sex. Yes: some women are…

Right on. This “I choose my choice” brand of feminism is perfectly unhelpful. Nobody is saying you’re not allowed to like what you like, but when they suggest that maybe you like something that you wouldn’t like had it not been for the toxic culture you’ve soaked up since birth, they’re not passing judgement on you as…

And she had a great line of “I don’t judge individuals but let’s say I am suspicious of how many dudes have fantasies that align perfectly with existing patriarchal norms.”

Hey, she looks like a hamster I know.

Yeah... at a bare minimum, I think “I was feeling really lonely and isolated, so I started doing something pretty extreme to change my body shape!” probably warrants a follow-up question or two.
