Thanks for putting this all in one place. I haven't read the book and don't follow her social media, so it's been a bit confusing. One question regarding this "sexual property" reference – did she actually call it that as an (I don't know how old) child, or is that what she calls it now as a 20-something who can…

Not to defend Lena, because I haven't read the book and, well, don't see why I should, but do we know that the stories about her sister were published without her consent? I know she doesn't have the best track record, but are we assuming here or has her sister made a public statement? I'm really really curious what…

I haven't actually read the book, but from the passage as quoted I kind of assumed that Lena had seen her sister shoving them up and that was why the curiosity got the best of her. I mean, I have a hard time believing a 1 year old could sneakily accomplish this rock-smuggling mission, so it's not that hard to believe…

Where I come from, walk of shame applies to anybody – male or female – who didn't make it home to their own bed for whatever reason, whether it be sexy time with a special someone...or passing out on a random bush, bench, or bus stop. So, crying slut-shaming is a bit of a reach here (especially if you actually read…

This is the first I am hearing of mpreg, and it's definitely different...but I still think that Brave New World was way weirder, and that was mandatory reading in both my high school and undergraduate English courses!

From the sounds of the interview, however, there are plenty of women who are involved in this community, which makes it difficult to just chalk this up to male privilege. For example, there's a member of the community floating around the comments who has tokophobia (fear of pregnancy/childbirth), and it's not hard to…

This article is my first introduction to this subculture, but I would hazard a guess that there is little focus after the birth because (with the exception of breast-feeding) a male partner at that point can become an "equal" in terms of childcare and parenting responsibilities. Obviously I'm just shooting in the dark…

And he's from my hometown! You go, Tom Megginson!

Ya, any guy dumb enough to think that I could tell the difference between a $485 shave and a BIC razor is going to wallowing in the friendzone for all of eternity, because DUDE COME ON.

I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong on point 2, but where are you getting your information about the backgrounds of the other (anonymous) women? In the Star article the original 4 are all described as "educated and employed" (some, it sounds like, within the media), and aside from most of them falling in their…

When I hear defenders of the cat-callers, I always wonder if they either have a very selective memory, or have been incredibly fortunate. I mean, if it really never went past a stranger tossing out an unsolicited "hey beautiful!" it would be eye-roll worthy, and that's about it. It may make you feel like a piece of…

Dude...I'm an atheist who was raised secular, so nice try passing that buck off. Your comment was just so blatantly ignorant, it was impossible to pass by. To suggest that no Catholics/Christians have ever been intelligent and productive members of society is total bullshit and a complete re-writing of history, not to…

I know, right? Because that Catholic idiot who proposed the theory in the first place was...an incredibly intelligent astronomer and physicist. So, there's that.

...or it began as allegory in the first place. If the creation stories recorded in Genesis were meant to be taken literally, why would there be two conflicting versions back-to-back? Signed, a slightly less condescending atheist.

I seriously LOL'ed at your last statement...and then realized how not funny it is that some people quite literally believe this. Sigh.

I'm assuming s/he meant to refer to the fundamentalist atheist faction as the opposite (yet sometimes equally as ideologically irritating) of the Christian fundies. Alternatively, s/he has no idea what they're talking about.

So this is why the fundies don't want sex education in schools. It's all so clear now!

Totally agree. I wonder, however, if part of the problem is also how the Star tackled this "expose". I was expecting the accusations to come more directly from the women – i.e. much more material and quotes from these several interviews that have occurred. It was my impression after reading the Star piece that they…

Uhhh...as a Canadian whose hometown was attacked on Wednesday, with several friends involved in the lockdown... I don't find her tweet in the least bit offensive. In fact, it pretty much sums up the POV of many of my friends posting on social media: for us, this is a big deal because gun violence is not a daily/hourly…

Am I the only one following this story and expecting that "Blythe" will turn out to be Lori, victim of the movie theatre incident, bent of revenge via a 1-star review, knowing it would lead KH to unravel very very publicly? I mean, that would be a mint plot line.
