This is the problem that a lot of third wave "sex positive" feminists are creating.

I couldn't disagree with you more. I actually like Rihanna. I like her music, I think she is one of the most beautiful women on the planet and I think she looks like a shit ton of fun. But… I also think that a large part of her is simply manufactured, including and not limited to her not giving any fucks.

"This is showing what it looks like when women sellsex... so much of it feels staged for men, not for our own pleasure."

Clicked through to the comments just to see how many people though your gentle leader was a muzzle. *sigh*

Seriously, stop with these analogies that make no sense. Please.

My 14 year old neice is a huge gardasil promoter. That's because she watched cervical cancer kill her mom when she was 12. She nursed her mother for four years, as the cancer slowly took everything. She's the only teenager I know who knows how to administer morphine via injection and change an adult diaper. Why didn't…

The, "My strength is not for hurting" line is gross though. It reminds me of (and I honestly don't remember who this was) a woman who was quoted on this site as saying that she was able to prevent her own gang-rape by appealing to one of the potential rapists to be the good guy (the good man) and help her. Men who…

Suggesting that women shouldn't get hammered is not blaming the victim. It's smart advice suggesting ways to decrease risk. There is literally nothing that makes a victim responsible for being sexually assaulted. You should not need to alter your behavior because some people are soulless cretins. But there are…

And so you shall!

I wasn't calling you pompous, I was calling the notion/idea that we have just decided that human beings are be default more important and deserving of respect than animals pompous — which, by definition, is absolutely true. I, in no way, said "You are pompous." I was just voicing my opinion at the idea that we do not…

I have a white friend who always went with black guys and eventually married one. She thinks she is the last word on racism, knows all about it, talks about the dirty looks she gets when she's with her husband (we live in the NYC metro-area so they are hardly novel) and thinks she is, of course, racism-free because…

Screw you! I love getting abortions! I get 3 or 4 a year! They're superawesome!!!!

No

Well I live in Seattle, so Log Lady has never gone out of style. This is what we all look like up here in the damp PNW. While we sip our damn fine cups of coffee.

Here's the catch in your story: the guy lied to you about his relationship being on the verge of ending, not about being in a relationship. You knowingly went into your relationship with him while he was in an ostensibly monogamous relationship with another woman. That was wrong.

Okay I'm only 16 and my parents had me when they were 21 and 23 and I turned out just fine. But I have to disagree with EVERY woman having kids before age 26.

focuses on a young Sarah Connor and her (eventual) baby daddy Kyle Reese.

If anything he's better-looking than Gosling.

Ever since I saw an epic flower girl meltdown at my cousin's wedding (she vomited, turned on her heel, and ran the other way ... the flower girl, not my cousin), I have been completely unenthused by small children dressed up as miniature brides and grooms, walking down the aisle, holding chalkboard signs that say…
