Yes!

I'm a fan of the idea of grade eight graduation.

Yeah, it seems to be a recent addition - the intention of the piece was really, really unclear without it (which is probably why they got the negative comments that the above comment is meant as a reply to).

This joke is meant for pro-choice people, as a parody of the ridiculous ideas that anti-choice people have about who has abortions, why, and how much it means to them. All the "wait and think" laws around abortion are premised on the idea that women who have abortions do it carelessly, on a whim, etc. Silverman is…

In the same way that we could say ask why she has to be "a truly strong woman" and not just "a truly strong person". Why does the role-model have to be a woman?

Re. the parody/not parody debate:

At the bottom of the page, in reply to a comment, they say "There is a difference between paying homage to a culture/lifestyle in a way that looks good than blatantly mocking a subculture of people and making a parody of those people.

It's one of many bizarre questions…

But see, I tried blindingly-shiny-bleached-vulva sex and it's just cleaner and more fun. It's not structural sexism if you have a choice!

I totally have the same thing (I'm white but have fairly brown skin and tan really easily) - from my extremely limited experience interacting with other naked people, I would guess that it's pretty common for people to have paler/darker skin on certain parts of their body (thighs, waist, armpits, etc.).

Yes, thank you. The distinction between vaginas and vulvas is a useful one, we should probably use words that allow us to draw it in conversation.
