On ceremonial occasions, yes. Otherwise I prefer to mount them on my wall.

Nonono. I don't get trolled. I hunt the trolls for their flesh.

Bonus points for their avatar being a picture of a baby/toddler!

The only men that feel the need to surround themselves with passive women are the weak and insecure ones, apparently so delicate that being with assertive women will ruin them.

Ah, but his real name is attached to this. When prospective employers Google him, they will see it.

Street corners are very educational! That's where I learned how to swear.

I made no comment about your gender, sparky. There are multiple cis dudefellows who are part of the Jezebel community and have managed to avoid the ire of the local ladies, and some are almost universally beloved—like Ubertrout, for example.

I think it has something to do with not being an arrogant jackass.

What you just did is akin—to borrow a metaphor—to walking into a graduate-level philosophy class uninvited and asking the students if they are aware that the color blue you see may not be the same as the color blue they see.

Honestly, a lot of women go on (certain types of) birth control because our ovaries punch us. Figuratively.

But I think I'd be okay with a woman-centered flip of this commercial. In fact, I'd argue that the constant painting of motherhood as sunshine and unicorns is actually a pretty big problem for women. As a…

I mostly just kind of flounder. I wish there was a better way to say it, but I don't think there is. I study and do all the assignments and attend all the lectures and review sessions and I still don't learn anything. If I remember correctly, the testing I underwent to get my ADHD diagnosed also turned up subpar…

Man, this guy must have some redeeming qualities to make up for the fact that he clearly didn't respect or care about the woman who would eventually marry him.

I actually was one of those picky-as-all-hell eaters as a kid, and I think it was for the opposite reason—my parents kept trying to force me to eat foods that I absolutely didn't want to eat, all the time. I had (and still have, to some extent) some texture issues—seems to run in the family; for years my sister…

That sucks X( As of very recently, mine actually isn't terrible (just bad, lol) in the blood loss department anymore, but I was anemic for most of my senior year of high school. It's great that people aren't constantly saying that I look exhausted.

I hope yours gets better, too!

"Take an ibuprofen."

My mother still does that. Whenever I bow out of something because of, y'know, the severe pain and nausea, she tells me that "Most people just deal with it." She's damn lucky that she's never had to *~deal with it*~

I'll be over here, downing painkillers and taking iron supplements.

Welcome to Jezebel :)

So your question is: Can a white man be oppressed? I know that you live in Venezuela and I know little about contemporary Venezuelan culture, so I'm going to go for a less region-locked answer.

Generally speaking, a cisgender (not trans*) white man cannot be oppressed for being white or for being a…

Don't save the rainforest—stop it before it kills us all!

From what I understand, freshman girls in particular are targeted for rape. So think about it: these are 17/18-year-old girls, away from home for the first long time, and then they've been sexually assaulted. They're miserable and terrified. School officials, in order to save face, tell them that it will be much…

Unfortunately, even if the campus police is actually comprised of actual police officers, they can still handle sexual assault very poorly. Like at my university, where rape victims are told that other people's actions are their fault.
