Please show me the news story from a reputable source about a man who merely told a coworker, “You look nice today!” or held a door open for people passing through and is now being lumped in with people groping their coworkers, exposing themselves to them, masturbating at them, or raping them. I’ll wait.

I’m several years older than him and I know that living with serious illness has prematurely aged me in a lot of ways. I still easily look at least a decade younger than he does. It astounds me anew every time I see a picture of him that someone can be 32 years old, have the apparent emotional and intellectual…

Yeah, I’m honestly more worried about him than about Ginsburg. He’s only a few years younger, and he doesn’t project “I can stay alive and capable of doing this job by sheer force of will” the way she does. Sure, I’d rather see him replaced with a genuine liberal, but I will very definitely take a moderate…

Yeah, there’s a nasty little corner of me that thinks, “Fuck, I’m a rape survivor and I live in severe and constant chronic pain and no one is ever going to do something like this to help me, but apparently they’ll help some dude who goes around calling women cunts.” It’s getting overruled by the larger part of me…

Getting called a cunt is quite literally an everyday matter for a female public figure on the internet. Which is fucking terrible and depressing, but true nonetheless. It doesn’t particularly surprise me if Sarah Silverman has seen that garbage enough that a random person calling her a cunt doesn’t really hurt her…

Jesus Christ, the trolls are out in force on this article. Did Reddit go offline for the day or something and force a bunch of sad neckbeards to come here to whine about “affirmative action” and how women are clearly just inferior?

I would probably eat a sandwich that was made of smoked salmon served on a sliced croissant if someone served one to me. You can even put some wasabi and ginger on there. Hell, even the seaweed is probably okay. I do not particularly object to the basic components of this thing. It’s the idiocy of (apparently) baking…

I try to comfort myself by thinking that if we don’t all die in a nuclear war, someday, future generations may be enlightened enough to say, “Well, we have to mention that piece of shit in the history books so we don’t repeat such a horrible mistake, but we sure as shit don’t have to celebrate him” and take his…

It doesn’t matter what universe you’re in. Words mean things. “Contraceptives” prevent conception. They do not terminate pregnancies, because pregnancies do not occur until after conception has already taken place. This is all “basic definitions of words” stuff. And the fact that a lot of people don’t understand this…

The Trumps never cease to amaze me with how thoroughly they prove that money doesn’t buy taste. I’m sure that dress is some expensive designer shit worth thousands of dollars, but I wouldn’t buy it if it was on a clearance rack for 50 cents.

It’s probably weird to post this here, but whatever.

Same here. I tried “mindfulness” meditation, which is supposed to be meditation for people who suck at meditation, and I still couldn’t do it. My brain adamantly refuses to go to a happy place or whatever instead of continuously saying, “Oh, hey, I see you’re trying to relax and focus on something pleasant. Sounds…

I have a family member who is a professor, and I’m greatly amused by her RMP reviews, all of which follow one of two basic patterns:

Holy shit.

The comment you’re replying to did not say “harassment should be treated exactly the same as rape.” Saying that harassers and rapists can all be lumped together as “pigs” says nothing at all about what the specific consequences for various forms of piggishness should be. It just says they’re all pigs, and that “Sure,…

I mean, even if nothing has been done to Heather Heyer’s grave yet, Nazi scumbags have harassed her mother extensively and have vandalized Jewish cemeteries. It’s not exactly a stretch to think that one or more of them would find a way to combine their “torment grieving parents of murder victims” and “vandalize graves…

Hi there. I’m a “cripple,” to use your offensive terminology. I am not “helpless,” and I am not willing to be used as a bludgeon against a woman’s right to control her own body. Besides being a disabled person (it appears that the term “disabled person” may be unfamiliar to you - it’s what we “cripples” are known as…

AND WHAT’S WITH ALL THE CARROTS? WHAT DO THEY NEED SUCH GOOD EYESIGHT FOR, ANYWAY?!

It’s the “everything we sing is like ‘I love you’” that carries it over the line from “cute” to “horrifying” to me. And I say that as a musician who sings stupid shit to herself all the time - when I’ve dated fellow singers, there has definitely been some mutual singing of stupid shit, but “Hey Babe, Bring Me More…

Honestly, “It’s Straight-Up Blasphemy!” could pretty much be the motto of Republican-style American evangelical Christianity.
