I refuse to watch The Hours with anyone in the room other than my SO... so much bawling...

Thank you so much for giving me ONE article that I can read on Jez without feeling like the world is a horrible, horrible place.

Allow me to just go puke in this corner over here. Talk to you guys later...

Next thing you know WaPo will be running an article on rising health costs related to college women's ever loosening vaginas. "Sales of purses plummet as college-educated women start storing things in their ruined vaginas"

I like how the article implies you aren't going to get raped if you aren't a floozy...

Oh dear God yes. Can we please have an article about the depressing sex lives of people who have so internalized our culture's sex-shaming?

Personally, I think they're both good. But if you're going to play both of them eventually then start with 3.

Totally agree with you. Legal contracts for everyone!

Not in California under existing law if they used in vitro fertilization after donating their sperm.

I've just seen a lot of confusion about this specific law. From what I can tell, the only situation where this law can actually be applied is if there was NO agreement beforehand to waive custody rights and if the donor helped raise the child. The purpose is to extend the current rights which exist for a married man…

OMG I love you. Larry Mantle is so good when he picks a topic of any relevance to anything.

So, the WP article claims that if the donor brings suit to have parental rights, it's on them to prove that they've already acted as a parent at some point to the child. So if they've never raised that child, they don't get access. Except in the case where you signed a contract with them to begin with which stated…

The law makes it clear that if you get any parentage you get full parentage, which means if you bring a suit so that you can see this kid, you also get to pay child support.

Wait, I thought this was Melee we were talking about.

Just thinking about these bottle-service guys makes me go "Eww..."

I actually really, really, really agree with Dan Savage on this point. This is from an interview where he was asked about hookup culture on college campuses:

Exactly, this isn't the same thing as "oh look I can fit this condom over my head if I want to". Birthing is not fun. Plus babies don't go in and out and in and out...

What about PiV being the standard makes sense for you? I'm just interested in the reasoning.

As a fellow dude, I am interested in what kind of things got you called a slut. Inquiring minds want to know

So gross... The sad thing is this guy probably gets off on knowing so many people knowing about it
