It's not a baby.

Taylor's earrings are gorgeous.

There's a difference between comfortably not squeezing your legs close together and sprawling them out super wide. I think most of us don't have a problem with a man who doesn't keep his legs squeezed together. Look on planes and trains and buses and benches and whatever for a while, and I think you will spot the…

No, LoganJonesing401 said quite specifically that it doesn't happen with such "frequency as to be statistically relevant". This doesn't mean it has never happened, just that it is rare enough that it isn't super compelling in discussing how we should deal with rape accusations.

He made it clear early on that he was not taking no for an answer. I get why you have the reaction that you do, and I'm not going to automatically demonize you for it, but I hope you can hear what other commenters have to say, and give it some consideration.

Thanks for pointing that out, because I was thinking that USC didn't make any sense as an MIT rival. Not knocking USC, just mean that Cal tech is, well, they both end in tech.

The Presbyterian Church we attended when I was growing up was awesome. I never really considered myself to be Christian but still felt comfortable there as it was so much more about action and less about dogma. We had an AIDS outreach center at the church, and they let the workers come to youth group and give us some…

I grew up in a pretty awesome Presbyterian church, but gotta give you this one.

She's young. She still has time to learn grammar.

I don't think you can generally schedule an appointment to get an abortion at a hospital. You would have to either be in the hospital for an emergency situation and they might determine you need an abortion for your health or life, or if your regular OBGYN performs abortion and has admitting privileges to the hospital…

As a Texan, I understand what you mean. It drives me crazy when people are all ha ha ha yay, let Texas secede. There are an awful lot of us here (Obama got 41% of the vote, which, while it left the state a clear red victory still represents millions of actual people who are not evolution denying, secessionist…

Yes.

You're right. But I think another factor may be the number of women who undergo traumatic experiences and don't go into porn. I think the point is that the proportion of women who have had these experiences and wind up in porn is not higher than in the proportion of women in the general population that have had these…

It's just like, even when she tries to take what she thinks is the pro-woman stance she is still just the fucking worst.

Yup.

I find this . . . highly plausible.

I'm just replying to tell you that I giggled when I read this. Thank you.

I don't like Jenny Johnson, for a lot of reasons. Actually, I dislike her pretty hard. BUT, I don't think there is ever any reason to respond to a woman calling you names on Twitter by threatening sexual violence against that woman. EVER.

But this is a blatantly false notion. It's one thing when they want women to learn situational awareness, it's entirely another to act like short skirts inspire rape. Women get raped in burkhas. Criticizing a woman's clothing choices is not the same as saying you should keep an eye on your drink when you're out and…

That's what I always say when a man I'm talking to questions a victim's actions: Wow, with all the women not watching their drinks at bars (or wearing short skirts or walking home alone or getting too drunk at a party or whatever other excuse), how do you, personally, avoid raping women?
