I’m not sure what the requirements are or how they are validated, but I live upstate with only a handful of restaurants on GrubHub/Seamless, and it says that half of them are “Women-led.” However, I know who owns and runs these establishments and they certainly aren’t women.

I get it for the show (I’d imagine they have a laundry list of health conditions that would disqualify you), but the stigma surrounding herpes is maddening. Most people that have it never know they do- as they are either completely asymptomatic or few symptoms so mild it’s mistaken for a yeast infection or ingrown…

You’re correct. Herpes isn’t tested for by any repro health experts unless someone has an active outbreak. We can’t distinguish between oral and genital herpes (90% of americans have the former, 20% the latter according to the CDC). So basically, if all you do is the blood test, almost everyone will test positive. If…

It’s not an employer’s job to educate and help reform an employee who violates others in the workplace. It’s the employer’s job to provide a safe environment for it’s other employees. Jeffrey Tambor needs to go learn how not to be an asshole all on his own, or with a therapist, his choice.

The old timey way of teaching math was to drill the long division algorithm into the kids heads but not really explain why they are carrying the one. It saves some time and energy for the teacher as you can teach the kids faster (and it is expected that not all of them will progress far enough in math to need to know…

Makeup should definitely be returnable because sometimes you have an allergic reaction or some other kind of reaction to it. Making people prove that is harder to do, though, and it is easier to just accept returns. But if they accept returns then they shouldn’t be putting it back out on the shelves, or have a limit…

Now’s as good a time as any to note that Rand Paul spent years holding himself out as a board-certified doctor, even though was certified by the National Ophthalmology Board an off-and-on board which he created, and not the American Board of Ophthalmologists, whose certification hangs on the wall of damn near every…

40 mph in an unsafe, modified car on a sandy, twisting road after the actress had repeatedly voiced her concerns over the safety of the stunt. Uma Thurman was within her rights to demand a stunt person to fill in for her, and yes it is an abuse of power to force her to get into a situation that she (correctly as it…

It means dismantling the power structures—governmental, legal, societal—that privilege men and marginalize women and non-binary people.

If wage equality is communism...you know what? Never mind. This article is reporting what happened, so take that up with Jessica Chastain.

He’s also a man, but I see you’re committed to comparing apples to oranges, so carry on.

So, you don’t think that the fact that the black Oscar-winning actress is naturally less valued than the white Oscar-nominated one—especially when that win occurred in a category they were both nominated for, in the same year, for the same film—is an issue? Okay.

Idk, I guess I don’t find it that difficult to say “no thanks please don’t contact us again” that difficult, no matter how often it happens. I get approached for media, ad and event sales all the time (don’t own the business though) and even with the pushier ones I stay polite - but I do have to represent my employer…

Am I going soft because I feel bad for this vlogger? Her email was polite and professional. The moose Lodge could just say “nope sorry not interested” instead of trying to embarrass her on social media. Even though they blacked her name out it would still be awful to be talked to this way. It’s pretty common knowledge…

Ansari has always struck me as a creep, and I have long felt that straight women lauding him as some sort of feminist ally hero was indicative of their desperation to make nice with straight men.

Yeah - the devil is kind of in the details there:

Have you tried peeing on it?

Beware if you wade into the comments on the AV Club entry: it’s filled with a terrifying amount of denial, misogyny, and victim-blaming. I almost had a rage stroke last night.

Andrew Sullivan thinks removing condoms during sex and stealing ideas from women of color are “minor offenses.” I’m not sure you want him to be your go-to moral authority in this instance.

So that incredibly detailed story along with his confirmed phone number and apology isn’t enough? She needs to be outed and have people know who she is simply because she had the audacity to tell someone that Aziz Ansari engaged in sexual misconduct with her? Gross.
