I'm actually queer myself; I understand they're not synonymous. But in my experience, closeted gay people who are uncomfortable with their attraction towards people of the same gender often act as if they are repulsed by people of the opposite gender. I don't at all think most gay men are repulsed by women, but in my…

I went to one with a friend once after I mentioned that I loved my church except that it was an older congregation, and I wished there were more people my age. My friend assured me that her church was so similar to mine and I'd love it.

Seriously. I normally think that whole "he's closeted!" thing is thrown around way too much, but I've watched numerous sermons of Driscoll's and in virtually all of them I've had at least one "I think that man is gay," moment. He just seems to have such an obsession with gay men, and not just in the typical "they'll…

Thanks, I didn't recognize the name at first although once I thought about it I realized I'd been rolling my eyes at his comments around here before. The first comments did send up some warning bells for me but I'm way too trusting and thought maybe he just misunderstood what I was linking to or something. You'd think…

That was my thought exactly. I can think of a lot of ways I'd react if someone stuck their hand in my pocket or bag (or even dropped a card in a book I was reading), but none of them are "call the business being advertised."

Sorry I don't have them memorized then, I guess. Also that's a bit of a stretch with the name...it's a feminist and very trans-inclusive and body positive site/community that chronicles MRA bullshit. I was just trying to help you out since you asked.

Not all of these are 100% relevant, but here's a listing of articles on Manboobz that cover various homophobic things said and done by MRAs, including some very prominent ones: http://manboobz.com/?s=mra+homopho… Paul Elam and A Voice for Men are frequently homophobic, although if asked directly he'll say he isn't.

I'm guessing it's to string out this stunt as long as possible and get as much media attention as possible.

Yeah, I was even willing to deal with the "whole Christmas with her family only" thing since we'd just gone to my family's for Thanksgiving (although that was in part because she didn't feel like going to two dinners), but the proposal was just not something I could deal with. It also confirmed that she really didn't…

I dumped my girlfriend of almost 4 years ago right before Christmas. I was going to try to make it through the holidays but she wanted to totally monopolize Christmas and have us spend both Christmas Eve and Day with her family (I was fine with one or the other, but not both), and I was getting some hints that she…

I don't think you're supposed to be laughing along with her. I wasn't. It's a child who was put in a painful situation that she was helpless to change, and she reacted by seizing a little bit of power back. It was a messed-up way to do it, but so was the whole situation. She was a kid doing her best in a fucked up…

As the proud owner of 3 border collies (well, 2 border collies and one BC/heeler mix), I have to say I am pretty sure they never stop working. They just redirect.

Are you joking? Corn is an extremely common ingredient that is found in most low- to mid-quality pet foods, and is not dangerous to cats or dogs (although not particularly nutritious for them either).

My ex's mother always used to get me lingerie for gifts. Despite the fact that I knew it was coming every year, it never got any less awkward.

I hope this is a troll, but if not, I'd like to direct you to the numerous search and rescue dogs that come from breeders who breed specifically for those traits (this is my personal area of expertise; my SAR dogs are rescues, but most of the ones I know are not, and using rescues for SAR has set me back repeatedly…

I don't think you're a bad owner or that you don't love your dog. I volunteer with a couple of rescues and we get tons of pugs in for various health reasons. Usually with loving owners like yourself, whose circumstances change and just can't keep up with the management required. It makes me so sad because I know so…

People who intentionally falsely accuse others of crimes are prosecuted. If a delusional person comes in and accuses a friend of murdering his mother, he probably won't be prosecuted because he honestly believes what he is saying. If he knows what he is saying is a lie and still makes the accusation, then he will…

So I guess I deserve to die because I've gone to New Years' parties in the US where guns were fired in celebration? And it's semi-expected in rural US regions where firing a weapon isn't prohibited?

And the US...

I totally agree. I've taken a ton of selfies, but they're all things I would have set up a camera timer or handed it to a stranger for before I had a phone that made it easy. Group photos of friends, my partner and I dressed up nicely for a date, us (or just me) at a cool location...and yeah, I post a lot of them to…
