Oh man, I just acquired myself a yeti-man. Never thought I'd be into it.

Women wearing birkenstocks. College was a VERY frustrating time for me.

Finally, the first legitimate chance that Pissing Contest could win Pissing Contest.

Not sure how weird it is, but I recall the thing that short-circuited my tiny, little brain the most. I still start to breathe heavily when I think about it too long. My wife (girlfriend at the time) told me she was going upstairs to take a shower. She came back down buck naked and took the video camera and plugged…

It's as good a time as any for this:

Rob, as a man*, I have this to say: Fuck your victim blaming and fuck you very much.

That last screencap. It's always so telling when these guys are like "OH SO I CAN'T STARE AND LEER AT WOMEN, HOW AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO INTERACT WITH THEM SOCIALLY THEN." Plus the whole attitude that it is absolutely imperative he be able to notify "attractive females" about his boner.

I think VICE actually put out the best article about this whole Fappening issue:

Yeah...fuck this article.

:(

My husband and I are usually pawing through the dollar books on Sunday afternoons. Small internet world! :D

It's all about the context.

THANK YOU. I'm in the "nothing's off limits to comedy" camp, but with a HUGE FUCKIN' CAVEAT that "You had better make sure that the joke works, because the consequences will fuck your shit up otherwise, and you'd better own that as well."

A whole bunch of chickenshit comedians ignore the second part.

Another major issue is the implicit misogyny when a bunch of men fire a woman because they think she's overreacting to a rape joke.

No, I won't get it- especially since I meet the criteria you seem to think would inform me otherwise.

Just a joke... a 'joke' isn't something you say because it's rebellious/weird/quirky to you. A joke is funny. A joke is something that makes you and other people laugh. A joke's entire purpose is to creature humor.

Okay, so the owner probably didn't know/care about the (ha ha, so funny) "rape room" nickname. But the fact his reaction when he was told was to brush it off and allow the whistleblower to be fired — and not to reprimand his friend about not making fucked-up jokes — speaks volumes.

As the palest white person ever, I understand where this ebullience is coming from.

My white friends love to tan and I never understood it - first of all it is TOO. DAMN. HOT. It's like torture. I'm black and I park my ass under an umbrella when I'm at a beach with them. I was sitting on the beach once without the protection of shade and I thought I was going to lose my mind. It had only been twenty…
