But the thing is, Lena's "brand" for lack of a better word is "trailblazing millennial feminist" while Mindy doesn't seem to really want to be the voice of her sex or race or generation. She's too concerned with just being funny, something Lena Dunham knows nothing about. I find Mindy to be more groundbreaking in this…

It scares me that you can pick out her cat in the din of five thousand cats.

I'm starting to believe that Taylor Swift is just an elaborate PR campaign to improve the image of crazy cat ladies.

Same value as freezing for medical reasons. Medical reasons is basically you're going into chemo and you have it on the doctor's authority that your eggs will be no good after that. For non-medical reasons you're just saying you anticipate waiting until you're older to have kids, so you're hedging against the fact…

Sexy time in the bed? Gross, I eat there!

Hit the nail on the head. If your sex partner's perfectly willing to cause you non-consensual pain in order to gain themselves some sexual pleasure, they need to be ripped out of your life and thrown away like a dangling booger.

Exactly, because it's not that we can't handle pain or that we're ~prudes~ or scared or whatever. But it's extremely important for women to feel like they can trust a guy at all times, and that we're safe. If he's going to pretend like I don't have boundries or he doesn't have to ask for anything, then I cannot trust…

Right?! Just because you said yes to sex, doesn't mean you said yes to EVERYTHING he wants to do. And let's be real. Anal is for the enjoyment of the guy doing the penetrating, mainly. But since they watch it in porn, now they ALL think they need it. We have to prep and psyche ourselves up just to take it. It can…

Is it really that hard for some guys to figure out that it's painful? All it takes is common sense and empathy to imagine why you shouldn't just shove your way into a woman's anus. Women get bombarded with the important message all the time that men's penises and balls are sensitive so FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T USE…

Not to mention, I don't see a lot of enjoyable, relaxed sex in the future of a relationship once you've established that you'll try to cross boundaries by surprise and without consent. That would be a dealbreaker for me.

I enjoy how The Mindy Project approaches sex - adults have it, in a variety of situations. Sometimes they feel great afterwards, sometimes they regret it, and it's not a huge overwhelming deal if they have a one-night stand that doesn't work out. They're clumsy, they're confused, they're having fun...it's so much more…

Ok sure, but when I have someone come in and check the lighting my husband's all "What are you doing, this is weird"

Pygmalion, the original Shaw play is actually more feminist than My Fair Lady, and Shaw fought pressures to have Eliza & Henry end up together. Eliza knows she won't get as far in life, in such a classist society, if her speech betrays her as a Cockney. So she offers to PAY for lessons to improve her chances of…

It's not her fault the networks won't let her use her natural, wonderous, beautiful Scottish accent, an accent that makes birds sing when it's spoken. It's like taking away one of her superpowers

In high school I TA'd all the science classes, and before I'd even start grading papers (that they wrote instead of doing a science project), I'd find the first typo in each paper, pop it into Google, their "paper" would be the first hit, and I'd fail them. The teachers were always amazed that I got the grading done…

I like that. In fiction, I think it's when your name is in a larger font than the book's title.

Ask the teacher to send you a copy of one of this kid's other writing assignments. Post it to Jezebel with your name on it.

Go at his letter with a red marker and then send it back and ask him to fix his mistakes.

I always tell my students: if you can find it on the internet, SO CAN I.
