Tone is hard in comments. I was mostly trying to be silly and a tad tongue in cheek. You make excellent points, of course.

I actually enjoy sex without embarassment and thus I get more turned on if my toys look and make an attempt to feel like dicks. Weird, I know, right? :)

I love them!

That only comes clear if you read her subsequent comments in the article (and even the "do the right then" can be read more ambiguously than you do into a place of "breast feeding is 'right'" although I am perfectly willing to concede that may not have been her intent. The original bill was what kinda set my teeth on…

I found the note on the bill incredibly creepy, like "why is this woman SO invested in whether a stranger breastfeeds over bottle feeding? Is this yet another instance of mothers judging other mothers that runs rampant nowadays and strikes me as woman-on-woman crime, an insidious form of sexism perpetrated by the very…

I have a simple thought for Mary Louise Parker: see that little button on the upper right hand corner of your computer keyboard? Push it. Your profession in no way shape or form requires you to be online so just.... Unplug. And then go do what you love and have fun doing it.

AMEN. I have seen every episode of each season at least 5 times (it's my put on in background while cooking if nothing else is on/want to fall asleep to noise) and it is sheer brilliance. Like Arreseted Development, it is made for repeat viewings as it is so meta and self-referential, with long building and recurring…

Seriously. He is such a self-important douchenozzle.

MANY people would say that the police and prosecution botched this case and not necessarily disagree with your second sentence based on that (I am not one of these people, but they are out there)... but you are at best willfully disingenuous and at worst a fucking fool to make the argument that this is "not about…

Comment of the day. Thanks for making the laugh in the midst of all the mind-numbing rage.

How is it about race? Easy. Consider this scenario: One dark and rainy night, a large black man in a truck starts following a white 17 year old teen coming home from the convenience store with Skittles and a drink. He then grabs his loaded gun, exits his vehicle and starts pursuing this white teenage boy on foot,…

Completely agreed. The season picked up MAJOR steam by the first GOB episode (Colony Collapse, ep 7) and just hit its stride from there, such that the ending with all those threads dangling (is Lucille 2 dead? What is UP with Michael and the unexplained banana stand shirt in the opening episodes? What happens between…

Don't give up. Watch all of them, then rewatch them. It is MUCH more impressive and hilarious the second time through. Trust me. And know that the George episodes are meh, as are the Lindseys, but overall, it was an amazing season.

You win my Favorite Person of the Internet award of today. Thanks for the laugh out loud. Now people are staring.

Sincere question: did you read the article or just the headline?

Good point. More like: I wanted to find some "legitimate" (read: concern trolling) reason to shame sluts, so I asked some random questions of people until I found minor blips in mental state I could sucker the general public into believing is the result of "casual sex" (which I am going to define arbitrarily, while I…

I am calling bullshit on this entire study. The conclusion of negative mental state within recent proximity to a new sexual encounter is SO easy to attribute to many, many OTHER reasons than shame over the act itself, which is the implication here and LIKELY what the researchers explicitly went in to find, which is so…

Oh it's all Nielsen data, which slices and dices people down to characteristics like: female, Latina, x income level, geography...and thus stops thinking of consumers as PEOPLE with contradictory impulses and erratic behavior. They think they have you nailed because, say, you are an affluent mom in the suburb and…

I think an issue with this approach of Dove's is the idea of "stop. Look at the camera. Be pretty on command." A far more interesting approach would have been to take candid photos of women who are unaware of the camera, who are enjoying life, laughing at a conversational point, cuddling their children, pondering a…

I have the same issue. Any posed photo I look deranged and four chinned and weird eyed in. The absolute best photos of me are when I don't know the camera is there and am laughing and natural. Perhaps THAT is a more interesting angle for Dove? Look how beautiful you are when you are not called upon to be so, but when…
