Well said. But we aren't even a "minority"! So if one needs proof of patriarchy, this is it.

You raise SUCH a great point. What I am observing is as gay rights hit the Gladwellian tipping point (yay!) there is a commensurate erosion of women's rights, which scares the shit out of me. It's as though conservative white men have turned all their anger and frustration at the loss of power over minorities and gay…

And I hope you help your child make the best choice, too. My children will be encouraged to choose the institution that serves their academic, social and personal needs not solely their gender. if that school happens to be single-sex, so be it. But I *certainly*don't think that only single sex schools support women.…

One day scientists are going to isolate the "empathy" gene and then we will discover what we all suspected: conservatives are born without it.

Because all-women's colleges do not innoculate women against sexual assault, as many others have ably said. And I also believe quite strongly that both men and women are made better when they are made to learn from and with each other.

(f'ing Kinja on iPhone, no edit function) .... Manage to not get assaulted and not theirs to understand what constitutes consent, as well as all the ways our society puts women's bodies up for grabs....

Google "rape culture" and read up. I don't have the time to go into all the ways boys are taught both implicitly and explicitly that it is up to girls to manage not t

Um, it's not exactly happening, that's the point!

Thank you. Why are all the solutions proposed all the time by everybody ALWAYS about the woman and what she can do to minimize her chances of being sexually assaulted? How about, just for this month of sexual assault awareness as a start, we limit all our suggestions to practical, actionable, immediate, legislative,…

I read that as the country not the registry item and was verily confused. :) It's been a long day.

He also, from all accounts I read, threw an empty vodka bottle at the "assailant." Who besides addicts has an empty vodka bottle at hand in their vehicle?

And of those 500,000, I bet roughly 400,000 were purchased by Pimp Mama Kris Jenner. It's entirely conceivable to me that she would spend $4,000,000 to ensure her favorite trick broke some records and proved everybody wrong.

OH GOD THAT MOVIE. Just reading that gif makes me tear up.

I read that more as "sorry, Mom, that your dream of me marrying George will now not come true." Hmmmm....

Why are we calling what they encourage "rapey behavior" and not "rape"? "Rapey behavior" seems minimizing/sing-songily abstract/less criminal. They are vocally advocating RAPE. They are encouraging and breeding rapists. A spade = a spade, please.

I had this happen to me last night. Well, not exactly, but one of my best friends came over for dinner and had a wrapped gift for me; I opened it to find a baby book and a note that I was going to be an auntie. I wish she'd had a camera on my face because moments of true ecstatic surprise are so rare and I'm pretty…

1. The Sherlock news made me squeal out loud at my desk. #completelyunashamedsuperfangirl

I would totally love one of these, transparently though—- meaning the person managing my profile is visibly an assistant up til date time—— if that were not viewed negatively by prospective suitors. Someone who knows me well, can do outreach, manage inflow of conversation requests, curate the candidates, arrange dates…

Fair enough.... and certainly I enjoy hand play as part of the entire sexual experience. I just mean I'd MUCH rather give a blow job to completion as a whole act than a handjob. The former is sexy and makes me feel powerful and hot; the latter just feels like work and makes me feel insecure because I know he has had…

This is totally the reason I have no interest in giving them. I'm competitive! I like being great at sex! I invest energy in perfecting my blowjob technique, my kissing technique, sex moves, sex talk, etc.... but I know in my heart of hearts there is NO WAY I will ever be as good at jerking a guy's dick as he is…
