Ugh... my second ever boyfriend wouldn't come near me if I was period-ing at all. He was the only guy I've ever slept with who had this attitude (in the matter of fact, a few boyfriends, shockingly, straight-up VOLUNTEERED to earn their red wings, something I have never understood at all), but I found it hilarious to…

I knew all about it before it happened, and I was STILL caught off guard. Because I was that kind of kid, my reaction was to announce, "I'm hemorrhaging!" before I realized what was up.

I love that guy SO MUCH, thank you for resharing this!

Makes sense. Keeping drugs illegal in the US means the cartels can charge way more for their products - why would they want it to be legal? And the DEA gets to take in tons of federal funds, they get to fill up for-profit prison cells and make people work for cents an hour, and they get to bang prostitutes. Obviously…

So glad that Jia pointed out that periods don't need to be sacred hippy-dippy bullshit to be regarded as something normal and not shameful. Ghod, I hate hippy-dippy bullshit. But the secrecy around periods is profoundly misogynistic - and, talking about our periods is HILARIOUS AND GREATLY TO BE ENCOURAGED.

I do often wonder exactly how crazy and terrible I must be to still be out in the cold at this point.

1) I wish misogynists would just straight up say that they prefer women who are actively hurting themselves - that anorexia is their preferred state for women. Few are so bold as to admit it (although a few MRA sites do). Under patriarchy, the woman who thinks of absolutely nothing else except what she looks like and…

You should probably emphasize more strongly in this article that nobody knows what causes autism and that this bullshit WON'T prevent it...

The print on that dress is giving me major heartache and longing.

"Harrison also saw evidence of evolutionary influences in what drove women to kill."

Uh... how is that evidence of evolutionary influences and not how women are socialized, and the lack of wealth/power women have in our society?

because it's allll about evolution. derp. eyeroll.

We've all seen the video of Eric Garner's murder. didn't help. :(

Yeah, it was the arbitrary nature of punishment (occasionally physical) in my childhood that has made me the neurotic mess I am today.

"Today's working world rewards independence, risk-taking and self-confidence."

People actually believe that????

Yeah, 'cause he can totally do that while he's in jail.

Didn't think that through too good, didja?

death penalty supporters: "We're going to kill you to show you how killing is wrong!"

criminal: "..." (can't reply about lesson learned because he's dead)

I love the idea of a Victorian gentleman jerking it to a description of college girls playing cards and smoking.

Also: criminals with this degree of notoriety spend a lot of their lives in solitary. I'm seldom ok with that but in this case... yeah.

As much as I loathe this little shithead, I DO NOT WANT the death penalty to return to Massachusetts. Because as guilty as he is, it's applied to innocent people on a disturbingly regular basis.

So? What's he using the $$$ for that's so great?

(I mean, if we're going to say either of them doesn't deserve the loot, then BOTH of them don't deserve the loot, and we should loot their homes. If that's what you're saying, count me in!)

Buying political influence. That's what the fortunes of billionaires are for.
