LOL so true. There are days where my business account has $1M in it but our outgoing payroll and AP is $1.1M so we have to borrow from the line of credit. The amount of money in a business account at any given moment in time means nothing.

Hey Baby... what ya think of me now? Uh huh, that's right. Sexy like this doesn't come 'round very often. I'm nobody's giga-bitch.

Right? I had a guy tell me in the first 2 minutes what kind of car he had down to the "Series S 235" or something, I don't know, I don't keep track and I certainly don't want to date anyone who assumes I would care about that kind of shit in more than a passing sense.

Yeah he's definitely going to attract a certain kind of woman. Or man. I don't know what Brandon's into besides probably jerking off in front of a mirror.

I had not understood the unquenched thirst for men's butts until today, Mark. But now that I see this need, I will begin casting immediately.

No! We should celebrate all butts! Man butts are some of my favorite kinds of butts! But this is not about that right now.

Exactly. I dubbed this Schrodinger's Slut because all women (and girls) are in a state of simultaneously being a slut and not a slut all the time.

There's a reason why a kid asking "why" drives people nuts—they know they'll get to a point where they don't know. I think the questions are a good way to challenge them. If you just go on a spiel about why slut shaming is wrong, they would prolly tune you out. But endless questioning forces them to engage you. Fun.

I like being the asshole who plays this game with men when I hear them use the word slut or ho or thot. If I'm feeling feisty I'll go "what IS a slut though?" They'll say "A girl who sleeps around." "what do you mean by 'sleeps around'?" "Someone who has a lot of partners." "Like how many?" etc etc. Usually they…

It's really fucked up how society still can't accept that teen girls like sex, too. I remember when I was that age getting told things like "you don't have to have sex just because a boy wants you to" or "you shouldn't have sex just to feel cool or because all your friends are doing it", but no one ever seemed to…

Your experience is just as valid and important as promiscuous people's. In fact, we don't have a perspective of what it's like *not* to sleep around. And what you say about not being able to have sex with someone to whom you're not deeply committed is essentially the same sentiment expressed in the article: know…

My mom was very casual in her approach to talking to me about sex. Once I started actually showing an interest in guys, she became pretty open about her younger years—on the way to shop for my senior prom dress, she used an NPR segment on Planned Parenthood to segue into a talk about how she used to use PP, and how…

Parenting skills - you haz them. After my first date I explained my revulsion regarding my first french kiss to my father who calmly replied that I would like that with the right boy. I told the story at his memorial. He had MAD skills.

my school was abstinence only, but (on a day I was absent, I was so mad, because even though I knew about everything she said, it would've been nice to be there for it) my teacher told the class "this district is abstinence only, which is frankly bullshit, because we all know you're gonna start sleeping with people.…

"I don't regret sleeping around, I do wish I had a better idea about why I was doing it"

I agree. I notice some women will admit to using sex in unhealthy ways. Good luck finding a man who will admit that he used sex to fill an emotional void since all men aren't supposed to have feelings to hurt nor be vulnerable to having low self-esteem. It's sad.

My twin daughters had "Sex Ed" when they were 13. It lead to some interesting dinner conversations. Not surprisingly, the instructor stated as fact that boys would always want to have sex, with no reason given. It was never mentioned that girls would want to have sex or take any pleasure from the act, and this from…

If I had a daughter, I'd be buying her the crunchiest-granolaest feminine-journey-of-self-discovery books I could find, and I'd start with Our Bodies Ourselves (worked for me and for my foremothers, amen). I'd want to impress upon her that she needs to know what her body and brain feel like when something's a real…

"In my early twenties, I was a slut. I don't use that word to slut-shame myself, I use it because I feel that it accurately describes me at 22. "Kinda whore-y" would also work. Or perhaps, "sexually pliable." But regardless of what name you use, I was one and now that I have a daughter of my own I plan to raise…

To be fair, I'm not sure a mother can really do much. A girls going to do what a girls going to do, BUT I do think raising a daughter with self esteem and a sense of real self with ambition AND a family who supports and loves her no matter what will go a long way. My parents were total crap at all of those things,…
