You don't get to control other people's reactions to you, even if you're famous. You can try—by censoring photos and narrowing photographer access—but all you're going to do is generate negative reactions to your attempts to censor photos and narrow photographer access.

Exactly. I work damn hard at being (politely, warmly, tactfully) direct with my dating partners. Sadly, this has more often than not produced unpleasant results. There are lots of men who do NOT want honest communication, and who will sulk, or get angry, or otherwise "punish" a woman who engages in it. Based on…

"[O]ne Tumblr commenter told Charlotte, "enjoy being anally defilled"!"

I'm included because someone thought I was Demi Moore after an overzealous encounter with Restylane.

YES. I hate having to click back to the main site before being able to click on the new topic I want.

The rape-as-evolutionary-strategy paradigm is horrifying because it's a defense of some shitty aspects of the status quo: Men be raping! It's huMan nature! Their genes make them do this because it's biologically valuable! Silly women, why do you complain about the biologically valuable things men do to you?

I have no idea why you think your point responds to my comment. I'm making fun of this dipshit woman, who can't even make her own point coherently.

“We need a new post-feminist manifesto that enables women and empowers women to want all that they want for themselves.”

Maybe. But correlation does not constitute causation. It's equally plausible that when people are already happy, they then have the self-confidence and motivation to pursue other goals, like having sex on a regular basis.

I will hypnotize you with my magic hands and then you will think the idiot things I say are profound truths.

Which is a waystation along the path to adulthood, and which she tweeted her lust to achieve several short hours after tweeting that she had little desire to progress to adulthood.

That's bugging me too. Another option: "vehicle." But really, you shouldn't make fun of Cher for misspelling "magnificent" if you're going to produce "vesicle."

When I go on my world tour, I'm going to wear pants with glitter-highlighted vulva embroidered at the crotch.

He's pursuing a relationship with you. Hell, if you're talking for hours on the phone, it *is* a relationship. Not necessarily exclusive or anything, but this dude is into you for more than just sex.

Based on observation (but not explicit grammatical knowledge), "a group is playing" is the preferred American usage, and "a group are playing" is the preferred British usage. That's why we're used to the former but still encounter the latter, in British books for instance, and then get all confused.

I strongly disagree that both people are in the right. The Reitman review is primarily about Kogan as a person, and Reitman doesn't approve of the way Kogan has lived her life. While that's a fair position to have as a human being, it's irresponsible to make that position into the centerpiece of a book review. A…

I dated a guy who had the largest dick I have ever encountered, and it was AWFUL. That thing hurt like hell. DO NOT PUT YOUR MONSTER DICK IN ME.

Yeah, that was a weird aspect of the book (The Dialectic of Sex), but it did make sense in context. She was arguing that as long as women were charged with biological reproduction, they would always be oppressed.

Yeah, but he was a jerk, a factor which tends to overpower physical hotness.

Generally speaking, I hate the new format. I can't see enough things at once and it takes a lot of clicking to view the various posts, and people's comments, and so on. Yuck ick blergh.
