If your guy hasn't taken it upon himself to learn how to do some domestic shit by the time he's old enough to contemplate marriage, teaching him how to make a three-course meal isn't going to do a thing to ensure he does the grueling, grinding tasks like cleaning the bathroom and making sure there's food that didn't…

Great point, except that this is actually a very old story.

"I grew up in a left wing town and there are plenty of people with great politics who are assholes."

Ugh, gross and chilling. You're a champ for slogging through these books. Obviously Cosby is responsible for his actions, but his cultural outlook is really telling here. Is it any surprise that a man convinced that the ideal male sexuality is hunting and conquest and the ideal female sexuality is, well, having no…

And THIS is what I find so infuriating about 'pro-lifers' in the United States.

This seriously reads like a serial killer who learned English from an imperfectly translated edition of My Sweet Audrina.

Here's a fun story. When I was six, I was at school, standing at the bin, sharpening a pencil. A boy came up to me with a pair of scissors and said "I'm going to cut your hair". I stabbed him with the pencil, with all the force my six-year-old body could muster.

This kind of thing is why I don't understand the common third or fourth wave feminist position that we shouldn't criticize the prevalence of plastic surgery because it's "shaming"

Laughing at all the people saying it's 'OCD' to shower once a day or more. Clearly they aren't familiar with what the disorder entails. I have obsessive compulsive patients who shower every hour on the hour while cleaning their rectums with a toothbrush. THAT'S what OCD is. How often someone showers is a matter of…

There is a major rash of cringe-inducing (if you know anything about animal behavior) "cute" pictures being spread around the interwebs featuring dogs and children (often babies). In the photos the dogs are often displaying signs of fear, stress or aggravation. Even when they're not it's not wise to encourage pushing…

I am hiding under a blanket in bed. I just had the worst day. My MIL made my mom cry so with the help of PMS I called her a crass hag:( and it only got worse from there with my SIL texting me "That's it for me. I don't think it is ok to tell your mother in law she is unpleasant, unintelligent and a HAG. I may be from…

What happened last year? I got fired. What am I doing with the rest of my life? Getting married since my boyfriend proposed a few hours ago :D

I always find this discussion of mandatory condom use in porn interesting because even the "sex positive" commenters seem to make an a priori assumption that the existing working conditions for performers are reasonable and therefore not the problem. By not questioning the working conditions created at a time when…

So here's a fun thing that I need to get out and can't talk about on facebook. I've struggled with depression since I was about 7, and severe anxiety since I was probably 21. I've been on meds that have largely managed things for maybe 9 years or so, but I've started to worry that they're contributing to some sexual…

I've been going to the Planned Parenthood by my house for over two years for my lady health because the nurse in charge is AMAZING at her job, the staff is friendly, the office is clean and I feel better there than I do at my normal doctor's office, thanks to my change in insurance.

I've been harassed multiple times by…

I discovered 'a means of alternative sexual gratification' long before I discovered the internet.

The all too horrible thing for the victims of rape and sexual abuse is that often causes their lives to spiral out of control, to become addicted to drugs and alcohol, to have severe bouts of depression and PTSD, and to re-live the abuse through dysfunctional and unhealthy relationships. So by the time ones finally…

BUYING A KNOCK OFF HANDBAG IS NOT A VICTIMLESS CRIME!!! And no, I'm not writing that in screamy all-caps because I give a crap about the LVMHs of the world—although I do believe designers and artists should have control over their intellectual property. Way more important: knock-off goods are sold by terrorist groups…

As someone who works in the anti-counterfeiting industry, I just wanted to say that your description of how the crime of selling counterfeit goods is simple trademark infringement is incredibly simplistic and just wrong. Finished counterfeit goods are just the tip of the crime iceberg.

Why are the commenters on this site perpetually attacking people in articles about their weight? This man allegedly performed heinous acts of abuse on a child. That in itself is reason enough for your scorn. There's no need for his weight or appearance to ever be made an issue. But, hey, it's an easy punch, right? See…
