This was me my last year of high school and my first year of college. It was a phase I grew out of as I came out as queer/pan and got more comfortable with myself, but it happened. At 19 I definitely had a 3some because I was into the girl and it seemed like the only way I could dip my toes into that water at the…

I’d agree with the examination of consent. If there was berating, continued pleading, or otherwise emotionally manipulating, I could totally get behind the title. But if both people are aroused and make an otherwise sober consensual agreement, is the implication that people are not in the right state of mind to make…

Come on. Nice guy stealthing? This is not stealthing. This is two people making bad decisions in the heat of the moment.

Knowing what stealthing is, I was still confused. Is it stealthing if permission is asked for and given, even in the heat of the moment?

Every time we have salad at our Thanksgiving, it’s forgotten and left uneaten. We’ve stopped trying - though maybe we’ll try this for Black Friday.

Yeah, no, I’m sorry. I don’t have kids either, but you can raise children on a budget.

Abusers have serious sociopathic tendencies that asking they actually put the burden on themselves is extremely futile.

The problem is that some (not all!) parents get really upset about “child-free” because they perceive it as a sort of celebratory, anti-child thing.

Empirically, we’ve seen that this kind of public shaming doesn’t work as a deterrent (I’m thinking theories of reintegrative shaming vs. stigmatizing shaming). It seems to result in higher recidivism and does not address the systemic problem of rape culture (more particularly turning a blind eye to rape culture in…

I’m not disagreeing with you...I’m staying that the prestige that comes with being an athlete is a systemic problem in our society, and that it encourages athletes to see themselves as above others and the law. Athletes aren’t any more special than anyone else, and it’s a problem when we treat them like they are,…

Exactly....and particularly not unpaid student actors & musicians.

I the problem is that we equate “athletes” with “role models.” Athletes are human beings who are in aggregate no more or less good or moral than anyone else.

Unless they agreed, in which case they’d buy it and congratulate themselves on having such great taste.

IQ is such a bullshit metric anyway. I don’t doubt that they may have some cognitive impairment, but the fact that the US & state governments still cite specific IQ scores as though they’re meaningful just drives home the anti-scientific bias of our legal system.

Would you say the same thing about the new Star Wars movies, now that Lucas is no longer involved?

This “purpose” of Uber undermines the cab industry, allowing for rides that are half the price of cab rides...as long as the customers and the society regulating them is ok with discrimination against people with disabilities, either paying driver employees almost nothing with no expense reimbursement OR allowing a…

To be fair, I think this is one of those things that a good reporter would explain the meaning behind, instead of expecting their readers to have a broad knowledge of IP law, especially since that’s not often the scope of Gizmodo.

This is a brilliant move. I hope that if I’m ever in a situation where I see this dickery happening, I’m also in a position to afford doing this.

Because bisexuality and monogamy are mutually exclusive? Would you have married him if you knew he was bisexual, but also that he wanted to be monogamous?
