I was mentioned by name in a suicide note by a boy I'd turned down. While I feel badly for his death, I do not, cannot and WILL NOT take blame for his actions because I refused to date him. I am so sick of this idea that men are owed a date/kiss/blowjob/anything just because they want it. Nobody owes anybody…

And I feel that this type of comment amounts to silencing, pure and simple. This woman was likely suffering from a severe and possibly undiagnosed (or miss-diagnosed or under-diagnosed) mental illness and that's a very real, horrible issue that women all over the world deal with every day. Yes, I realize there is a…

Not sure which pamphlet to give him? I'm sure Ms. Pillsbury has something...

How nice that all of these young, white, apparently middle- to upper-middle class, two (straight) parent families who have dads who work outside the home and moms who can afford to stay home with the kids (long after any maternity leave would have run out) are having such a great time video taping their kids'…

Some say the world will end in fire,

Clearly, the battle cry is coming from this general direction, mid-distance. Prepare thyselves, and wet your beard-combs. The reckoning has arrived.

Right!? A body part doesn't override your mind. Gender essentialism is such a waste of everyone's time.

Mostly. I was born with gastroschisis, so that resulted in parts of my intestine being taken out, so I can't digest things as well. I would be vegetarian anyways, but gd sometimes I break and eat it, which results in pain. ITS NOT MY CHOICE HEAR ME. I WANT CHEESE SO BAD.

Anyone else think Kim was the most interesting character on "Freaks and Geeks"? I don't begrudge any of the actors from that show their success (maybe James Franco, because he turned into such an insufferable twat) but I wish Busy Phillips was a household name too!

I am actually completely dissapointed in her statement about teens and middle aged men. I gravitate towards TV shows with leading ladies.

You eat chili dog sandwiches with a spoon? Is the spoon for fighting off possums?

I'm more or less always on some kind of fairly involved diet. Some of it is about health conditions (I have celiac, for example) or ethical concerns (I was vegan for 3 years, and more before that) but it's usually about weight loss too. And I feel funny when I go out to eat with friends and they feel compelled to…

Sounds like it's all a bunch of hilarity to you! For reals though, try to think of this word, woman, as a state of conscious being and feeling instead of this silhouette on the ladies room door. Maybe try this little thought exercise... if your penis was suddenly chopped off (if you're cis male), do you think you'd…

Oh, I am well aware of girl farts. Claire* had cystic fibrosis, and while everyone knows how that affects the lungs, few people know how it affects the bowels She could not eat anything without taking a handful of enzymes that she had to get juuuust right (and never did). When we moved in together, I gave her the…

I'm one of those ladies with a penis and in my expereince the ones that freak out about it are women. I've never been threaten by a man or men either verbally or physically, but women have verbally abused me and asked me the most insensitive and intrusive questions.

Here's a secret for the gents out there. Lean in real close, now:

Some of us ladyfolk have penises. It's totally okay that that happens, too. Stop freaking out about it.

Oh dear god, the infrequency of bra washing. But whatever, like they're washing their jeans everyday.

I work at a doggie daycare, and I fart all the time secure in the knowledge that no one will hear over the barking, and I can just blame the smell on the dogs.

Here's a few lady secrets for ya:
