Just because it fits doesn't mean it is comfortable. Don't get me wrong, they make condoms for any size penis so it is not an excuse not to wear one. In my own experience, I avoided using larger condoms because I didn't want to seem like an asshole who thinks he has a giant penis, but my girlfriend suggested we try…

What!?!

Why don't they have a pill that cures cancer yet? Because it's a hard thing to do. Women have a built in hormonal mechanism for preventing ovulation, the female birth control pill just takes advantage of that. For men there has never been a pill that was anywhere close to the level of effectiveness that the female…

I don't understand this. It seems the responsibility is equally on both parties. As a woman, you can refuse to have sex with a man unless he uses a condom. As a man, obviously you can put the condom on yourself. Why is it an argument that we can count the number of contraceptives available to each sex and then say…

It says the law includes exemptions for "rape, incest, the life of the mother and highly lethal fetal disorders."

My mom is on the board of a local nonprofit cat rescue and they charge something like $200 to adopt a cat. Most cats come in, they spay/neuter and vaccinate them for about $50 and they go out the next day. A few, though, have serious medical problems that are expensive to treat. So instead of charging people a…

Move to Baltimore! My fiance just bought a 4 bedroom house in one of the nicer neighborhoods for 170k. She rents two bedrooms and makes enough money to pay her mortgage and utilities, so she is living for free. Seriously, move to a cheaper city.

I agree, my parents haven't given me a dime for school. I got a scholarship for undergrad and I am fortunate enough to have research funding for grad school. A lot of people are surprised to find out that if you are a STEM grad student not only do you not usually have to pay tuition, but you will be given a small…

I think you could say just that. If I know you and I walk up and get in your car while you are watching, and drive away without you protesting, then probably I am not guilty of a crime.

I guess I would be "broke" rather than poor, because my parents have money but give none to me and I have been in grad school for 5 years. One thing that always confuses me though is how people will complain about being poor but will spend an entire evening out drinking at a bar. I am quite convinced that the reason…

I feel kind of stupid arguing about +-1% when there is obviously a bigger point, but articles like this make me quite mad. Why say "more than 120" and then give an exact number for the total respondents? Why switch back and forth between percentage and "one out of"? It just makes things confusing and, to me at…

"More than 15 percent of female undergraduates reported experiencing non-consensual vaginal penetration during their time at the University"

Lol what? That would mean more people were successfully raped than had people attempt to rape them. Think a minute and maybe you won't make the same mistake as the author.

"One in six female Princeton undergraduates said they experienced non-consensual vaginal penetration"

Chalupa Batman, that's what it will be if the internet gets ahold of this.

I don't disagree with you, but to go the other direction and act like privileged people are walking assholes for being born into a certain class is not the right answer either. You can tell me how lucky I am to be born white but it doesn't make me feel any better when my cat just died. Maybe I'm privileged because…

Yeah, g0ing to have to agree that is just being a nice boyfriend, not feminist. If you decided to clean his apartment as a thank you is that anti-feminist? Just two people doing nice things for each other. Congrats on finding a cool guy though :-)

There might be a informal quota for male nurses, i.e. a doctor's office might want to have at least one for procedures where a guy might not feel comfortable with a woman nurse. Given the still small number of male nurses, that would change the supply/demand.

There's something wrong about me, but I am actually really comfortable living in a tiny apartment. Before I moved to the city for grad school I was in a giant house and I used to always freak out and think that someone had broken in downstairs and was going to kill me in my sleep. Now my bed is like right next to my…

Well he does have an MFA from Columbia and is getting a PhD in English at Yale. That's gotta count for something.
