I went on a super fancy date with a guy under similar circumstances in San Francisco, except I drank the wine. I asked, somewhere between course eight and nine, what time the last train ran. He said 1 a.m. It was midnight.

Standing outside the very-much-closed train station, he said, “A taxi will cost you at least $50…

I don’t think prostitution is wrong, as long as the prostitutes weren’t trafficked into it and truly chose it of their own free will. In my opinion, it should be legal everywhere.

I think it’s incredibly important for people to talk about this stuff. We talk a lot about ending rape culture, and one of the ways that we can protect people is to be more aware of potential danger around us, and stepping in when we see it. These women did an amazing thing, and we SHOULD be talking about it. This…

I’m having trouble putting my thoughts into words on this, but last night after I read this story I had a really great conversation regarding male/female friendships and how in so many instances their is still such an inequality in the power balance.

Then, in walks Santa Monica PD. They say “Come with us” and he doesn’t protest. Doesn’t ask why. Doesn’t seem surprised.

Her best friend. My heart broke. How many women has this happened to? Too many. Someone I considered a close friend, climbed into bed with me at a hotel party. I didn't think anything of it because everyone in our room was sleeping, including the other guy in the bed. My friend obviously thought I was passed out…

I’m with the author - I would have wanted to tell the guy he’d been seen, watch him deny it, then say okay, prove it’s not true, drink it all yourself right now. And yes I realize that’s not the right way to handle it, it’s just what I would have WANTED to do.

I love when women watch out for other women

I think perhaps the most depressing thing about this is how many comparatively random women present had their own stories. This is part of why I think the number of women who have been sexually assaulted at some point in their lifetime is much higher than more conservative estimates like to place that figure. Men seem…

I know someone else who went through a similar thing reading a book on atheism (i don’t know which one). It’s weird that people actually change their minds about stuff like this. I grew up religious and always sort of took it all as a fairy tale, so it was easy to walk away from when I was a teen. For a person who…

Welcome—but please ignore Dawkins, Harris, Maher, and any other person who perpetuates hate as “atheism.”

I stopped reading after that.

Of course men are perpetually virile, except for “the age-related increase in acquired medical conditions, decreases in semen quality, and increasing rates of DNA fragmentation seen in sperm. In addition, there is an association between age of the male partner and the incidence of birth defects and chromosomal…

Long story short, “She didn’t mean it. Really. She didn’t. Look she didn’t even shoot him. She shot the mattress. She really is a good person. (Over look that she had a gun out in the first place.) She’s a sweetie!”

National Domestic Violence Hotline

Yeah, that was “holy shit fuck no” territory. Got no issue with people’s private kinks (shit, I domme a guy who is into this soooo) but that is fucking disgusting and I would have a hard time not resorting to fisticuffs if some jackass stranger or coworker “nipped” my shirt. Boundaries, learn them.

Even if she was in contempt, I believe there are proper legal procedures to be followed instead of treating her like a child and making her sit in a corner?

Men were drawn to their assertiveness and autonomy at first, only to find that—in a region that will hold onto gender roles as long as it has held on to lard-based cooking—we ultimately didn’t “need them” enough.

It took me and my friends an embarrassingly long time to learn that just because a guy gets aroused around us that doesn’t mean it’s our responsibility to do anything about it. Like when they say, “what, you’re just going to leave me like this??” Um, yes?
