Oh, and then there was the woman of completely indeterminate age whose last name we never determined, who claimed to have been married to the heir of the Cargill Meat Packing fortune, and who would continually try and pit the other roommate and I against each other (she liked me, hated the other woman). When I finally…

There was this gal I knew through a messageboard (we had become friends because we both had pet gerbils - GO AHEAD, MAKE THE OBVIOUS JOKE), who I lived with two separate times in my mid-twenties. She was kind of an odd, antisocial creature who had too many pets and a lot of weird, off-putting habits (and a strange…

Also: rich countries aren't happier than poor countries because people can buy more things they don't need. Rich countries are happier because less people are dying of starvation. It'd be nice if this author remembered that the world does not consist of people whose monetary choices largely involve buying shoes and…

I remember Roxy Carmichael. There are few of us, but we're out there, believe me. (Also, her love interest was so weirdly ugly-hot. What happened to him?)

Oh, totally agreed. All these low-waisted bullshit jeans just sling under my belly pooch and slide off my hips. I need more fabric! It doesn't have to be mom-jeans level of more fabric, just MORE. Just cover my damn belly.

COTD.

speaking as someone in locked down boston right now: I WANT to read stupid shit about pets. Making us laugh at dumb things right now is a service.

The women who give birth while shackled in America's prisons would like to have a word with you. Likewise the lady who's in jail because she tried to commit suicide while pregnant.

"In the late nineteen-sixties, Firestone and a small cadre of her “sisters” were at the radical edge of a movement that profoundly changed American society. At the time, women held almost no major elected positions, nearly every prestigious profession was a male preserve, homemaking was women’s highest calling,…

...and women in the US are arrested for falling down the stairs while pregnant, and women in prison are forced to give birth while shackled. Atrocities are happening here too. They're less obvious, but lift up a rock, and they come crawling out.

"Muslim feminists exist within the framework of that patriarchy, and in some cases, are complicit in the subjugation of their gender by clinging to laws and traditions that are harmful to other women in the name of religion."

Duly noted: do not sleep with this guy.

Considering the shit they say about, say, my gay friends, I'm fine with not being too sensitive about their feelings. Call me crazy...

Oh, now seriously? Being non-Christian, I've been treated like a space alien by Christians my entire life. The way Christians treat non-Christians doesn't need to display itself as open prejudice; y'all just treat us like weirdo sun-god worshippers.

So, let me get this straight: in the first part of the column, the author makes it clear that most women don't get off during p-in-v sex. In the final part, she says "if you're not cumming during sex... then he sucks in bed." WHICH ONE IS IT

The part of this discussion that makes me want to cry for girls in our society is that EVEN RIGHT HERE in this article, there's very limited discussion of the fact that sex is something girls want to have, enjoy, and might want to seek out, instead of something that men inevitably pry from between their unwilling…

Well, this is a guy we'll be seeing on the news at some point.

You wanna know how manly these guys are?
