He said during his 2008 campaign that his administration would not spend resources to prosecute medical marijuana cases in states where it is legal. This did not stop his landslide election victory, and was not a prominent line of attack from Republicans. Despite virtually no political pressure, he has in fact done…

Who made Obama go after medical marijuana in states where it is legal, contrary to his 2008 campaign?

It bothers me both because of the image it creates of the Adderall user, and also the fact that it makes it hard to get. I live in Harvard Square and I never know if it is going to be in stock at the local CVS. This is partially because the DEA limits the amount of Adderall that can be made at any one time to prevent…

What? Who is glamorizing the Democratic party here?

Does she really ever think that a relationship with Christian Grey is something "she honestly believes she can't live without"? If she does believe she is going to die or suffer irreparable harm from not dating him, is that a reasonable and rational belief he can be expected to act upon? Is he required to never break…

Let's posit a situation in which someone threatens to break up with their SO unless the SO has sex with them at some future point, and the SO consents to sex even though his/her internal feeling is that he/she hates it, and he/she is ashamed to tell his/her friends that he/she had sex. That is emotional abuse but in…

The books do portray abuse, but it is emotional abuse and essentially separate from the BDSM activities. Arguably the most abusive episode in the entire series is when Christian Grey emotionally blackmails Ana into giving up her maiden name in her professional life, very much against her intentions and her wishes. He…

I thought Jezebel was the kind of place where sex robots didn't have to worry about being stereotyped as emotionless and manipulative.

My experience in college a little less than a decade ago was that there was a culture in which there were usually two possible states: "one night" stands or really serious long term relationships. I think this creates skewed incentives. For instance, those interested in something more than casual relationships were…

As a man who has never once achieved orgasm from a blow job, I say, let the reclassification begin!

I'm all set for uteri, but thank you.

My wife says I'm not allowed to talk about that.

Even if some women are "attracted" to men with money (as a very rich man, I have certainly encountered this phenomenon before), the logical fallacies involved here are stupendous. The elision of "some" with "all", the belief that people vote for the person they'd most like to mate with, the idea that making money by…

Wait, as a man, there are lizards I'm supposed to think are sexy? WHAT ARE THE SEXY LIZARDS?

What federal law is violated by asking an employee if they're gay? I don't believe there is one, as (unfortunately) the Employment Non-Discrimination Act hasn't yet passed congress.

I agree with you. There is an implied endorsement of his "brand" in professional collaboration.

At first I read the headline as "preppies" and said to myself "I thought only my wife thinks that."

That is a protest at the site of the oppression—like those people arrested outside of the courthouse. The proper analogy is whether you think that the Woolworth's sit-in or protests against segregation outside American embassies in Europe were the effective tactic in 1960?

I notice her webpage describes her as an "actor". Cognitive dissonance is an amazing thing.
