I didn't assume anything about you, except that you were able to work an unpaid internship. I worked hard too, but my course load, financial commitments, and actual paying job precluded me from working an additional, unpaid job, with the exception of one semester. What is so hard to understand about that? It's great

So, that's your argument? Ok, sister. Whatever.

What is your point? That because you did it, everyone can and should? Different circumstances, bro.

You're not the only one, but I totally disagree. It's nice that you can afford to work for free, but not everyone can take a pay cut simply to prove how dedicated they are. When I was in college, I worked my ass off to pay for food and housing, while my wealthier peers could afford to take unpaid part or full-time

Good. Unpaid internships are the hazing of the professional world. Only those with enough money and privilege to sign up have the honor of being used as slave labor, and when it's all over, they perpetuate the cycle because "if I had to work for free, why the hell shouldn't the next guy?" Meanwhile, those of us who

I completely agree with you that Jezebel, Feministing etc. are skewed towards issues that affect straight, white, middle-class women. That said, straight white women still experience sexism and internalized misogyny, so I don't agree with the idea that the discussion just needs to die already. I don't spend a lot of

Also, don't give up on BJ's yet. I mean, I don't have a penis, so I can't speak from experience, but I hear good things ;)

Hahaha you're going to be fine. The fact that you WANT to do well and recognize that you don't have an inherent knowledge of oral sex puts you way ahead of the curve. Just pay attention to her reactions and when in doubt, it never hurts to ask if you're on the right track or what she likes. Aaaand now I can say that

Ok... Those are also valid issues, but that doesn't mean that this isn't a valid issue, as well. There are lots of women who experience body shaming on a daily basis, and it's important for them to hear that pubic hair IS ok/natural/not disgusting, because there's are so many voices telling them it's not. I'm not

Yeah, no offense (for real, because your heart/mouth is in the right place), but you need to toughen up. Hairs are generally attached, so they probably won't end up down your throat. That said, if you enjoy going down on women, you should get comfortable with ALL aspects of the vagina, rather than expecting your

That would be faaaantastic. But as long as dudes think it's ok to say shit like "you don't wax? Ugh, nasty" (this was actually said to a friend of mine recently, by a seemingly "nice" guy), I think it's worth discussing.

I want to hug you so hard right now. Please forgive yourself. You were not Callie or Samantha in this story, you were a fucked up 17-year-old kid who needed help, too. You survived, and your friend didn't. That's all there is to it. You're not a moron. You're walking around with a lot of pain and darkness, and it DOES

Maybe you should stop passing internet judgment on them then, until you know what you're talking about.

It's cute how you're still glossing over the part where he sued reporters and ruined people's careers to protect his lies. Not to mention threatened people and forced a formed employee into bankruptcy, if I'm not mistaken. Are you going to explain to those people that they should give Lance some leeway about the whole

Condescending much? I live in Alabama, and I'm the first to say it's screwed up, but if that's enough to make you "Dixie-bash" and write it off as a "sinkhole of hate" then it sounds like you're pretty intolerant yourself. It would be GREAT if the rest of the country would celebrate when the South tries to improve

I find it troubling that Jezebel published an article shaming 'gullible' people (all women, in this case, even though the original 'victim' was a man... who is now profiting from the phenomenon) for being too trusting, because their motivations MAY have been shallow. It feels a little victim-blamey to me. Just sayin'.
