I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

Story: Quantum Leap

She explains repeatedly how she had learned to cope with sexual harassment/assault by denying that's what was happening to her. As always, the victim is not to blame, even if she goes along for a while, or goes along because she doesn't know what else to do, or shows her tits, or...

This was my ideal wedding too. Stuff is SO expensive though. You want nice food? That's $92 a head. That simple roughly frosted cake that the florist will decorate? $900. Celebrant? A very reasonable $600. I honestly have no idea how anyone manages to spend less than 30k and have a sit down meal. My friends just had a…

When I was in grade seven, a kid was suspended for having a pocket knife and I remember the majority of the school making dumb jokes about how you can kill with a pencil through the eye, so they should suspend us all!!LOL!!1!

Another white guy who has to make it all about him.

You're mistaken. I'm very amenable to your points; you're just asserting them in the worst way. It's all very circular: vulnerable people are vulnerable. And very general. You make a lot of essentialist claims. And I'm not really sure if "a celebration of death" is necessarily a bad thing. Frankly, the goths I know…

You sound like you must have an extensive background in childhood development. What is it, again? I mean, besides your niece and nephew.

I'm a 30-y-o gothy parent of a teenage girl. I've been frothing over this ridiculous bullshit for years. I don't need to grow up: I am a fucking grown-up. My husband and I adult perfectly well. Our house is filled with dragons, skulls, fairies, fantasy art, antique silver pieces, and carnival masks. Is that silly to…

To people saying, "we should ban knives now!!" Sarcastically or not, let me just say knives have useful, practical everyday uses in our society. We use them for cooking, surgery, construction and the list goes on and on. Guns, on the other hand, are used to kill. That is all. Full Stop. Thoughts and good vibes to the…

*Trigger warning - violence*

Good. It is crappily written and has nothing to do with the BDSM scene.

The post-church crowd is always so fucking crabby. If your church is making you crabby enough to mistreat service staff, y'all need to thinking about finding a church that I dunno...makes you leave feeling good?

Hi, my major is in Early Childhood development (with a concentration on Elementary and Adolescence), and I'm just going to say it: spanking is bullshit. You know why it's obviously bullshit? Because you have to keep doing it. If your kid keeps getting his or herself into trouble constantly and you keep hitting…

Those studies included people with lower levels of depression. People with serious clinical depression ARE helped by the drugs. I'm one of them, and neither you nor Tom Cruise will take them away from me.

Whenever I hear "Ragnarok" I always thing of this thing, for some reason...

With all your expertise and education, how can you not know that your individual preferences in cuddling partners are completely irrelevant to how teen girls feel about their bodies and talk within their peer groups? "Oh, gee — some total stranger with rock-hard abs says it's good to be as soft as a roll of Charmin! I…

I like this comment a lot. The fluff means he eats carbs, and will likely be "cool" with me eating carbs. No fluff means a whole lot of trips to GNC and sad, grilled skinless chicken breasts.

That's exactly what it's like. I hooked up with a semi-pro basketball player once. He had the chiseled, super muscular body. It did feel like a statue not a human. He was attractive from a distance, but I'm more comfortable with my usual type, skinnyfat sort of geeky guys.

HAHA! Marble statue! Okay, that's a perfect description. And it sounds like we have the same guy in mind. Beard, craft beer, probably a flannel shirt, tall...
