Have to admit, her clothing line is really great- I know she doesn't design anything herself and is basically a famous face to sell someone else's work, but dabnabbit, I bought one of her coats without realizing it was a Jessica Simpson (it was so cute, the shame and snobbery probably wouldn't have stopped me) and it…

No, Philadelphia... which narrows things down a bit!

I'm truly sorry if you've had the experience of assault, or know someone who has. I've had quite a few men open up to me about their experiences, so I'm no stranger to the concept that men can be sexually abused, assaulted or raped as well as women. But you know what I didn't do? Tell them their experience wasn't…

Ah- I guess I didn't see it!

Maybe think about the way you're reacting here, and think about why the women in your life aren't opening up to you about their experiences.

Wow. I so wish you hadn't doubled down on your stance, despite all of us here trying to tell you that your anecdotal evidence is incorrect. It's great that you're trying to be a part of the solution, but why reject all attempts from women to expand your world view on this?

Nope. It is the norm. The idea that rape/assault is mostly something that happens when a stranger pops out of the bushes is a myth, and one that dangerously feeds into the "legitimate rape" argument. It's great that you are trying to be an ally to women, and I hope this discussion opens your eyes to the complexity…

Brava! And I sincerely hope Zeke Stone takes these points to heart.

Man, THIS! I have a regular and organic grocery store within two blocks. We don't buy food for more than 3 days out. When Mr. Trousersock's brother came up to visit from suburbia, he was totally freaked out by our lack of food even though we thought we had a full pantry. We were like "dude, we're surrounded by…

When I was putting myself through undergrad, I managed a local coffee shop- we always had a ton of bagels left over at the end of the day, and even though there was a food pantry 2 blocks away, I couldn't drop them off myself because they couldn't take the donation from the company. Same issue of liability- even if…

The only way for a whore to un-whore herself is through the sanctity of motherhood, y'all.

Respectable ladies don't drink wine.

It was, but is was before he was Dr. Wilson- he was still the swoony guy from Dead Poets Society. And because now I feel bad, I've must spring to Wilson's defense. I have since been told that he was going through some tough times when I met him and not at his best. I've also been told he's changed a lot. I mean,…

Hooray and break out the champagne!

Ha!

Well, to be honest, I stopped watching the show before the end, so I have no idea what happened to him, and to be fair, I've heard since then that he was in a bad place when I met him and he's actually had a real awakening. So go ahead and fantasize about the good Dr. without guilt or shame (I'll fantasize about the…

Preach it!

No. Being really physically attracted to someone might factor into a person not picking up on sketchy behaviors right away, but if a person is behaving sketchy, handsome won't over-ride that. True fact- I've been hit on by a fair amount of celebrities, including everyone's favorite boyishly good-looking oncologist-…

What everyone else said, and... sexy is so subjective. Many times, I have put what I consider normal effort into my appearance, which is practically no effort at all, and someone has thought I looked sexy. My friend is totally turned on by ladies in a long, straight skirt, boots and a turtle neck (he fetishizes the…
