I've probably gone about two full (employed, banking, buying things, traveling on planes) years of my adult life without a state photo ID. Apartment fire + later wallet theft + long lines + lazy person whose beard seems to verify age well enough = no ID.

I mean, if I were looking for someone but didn't know where to find them, I'd try to get some publicity too. This way, his information's out in the world, and if she feels the same way there's a path that leads to him.

I'm out of the range of my expertise here, but wouldn't it make sense that, if you compare a skinny person and a fat person with equally unhealthy diets, that the fat person would, in some cases, be better at processing those foods? Type II diabetes is an inability to correctly process blood sugar; somebody whose body…

That is totally normal and nothing to worry about. It's all about getting him to know what you like and getting comfortable with orgasming with your partner. Dan Savage recommends lots of mutual masturbation, or just you masturbating with him hanging out, either staying out of the way or participating in some…

You're subject to unwelcome sexual advances, sure - that happens to (I want to say everyone, but c'mon) a lot of people. But you're not reminded on a daily, sometimes nearly hourly basis, that a bunch of people think you're a piece of meat and wield power over you, nor that any one of the many people who harass you…

Hey, people do some silly things when they're young, right? Worshipping boy bands, driving too fast, raping and murdering geriatrics...

This is going to be your standard case of "believer says something unintentionally douchey, atheists pounce on it douchily, technically the atheists are right but the believer gets to walk off thinking that atheists are jerks."

While hooters makes me feel unbelievably uncomfortable, their wings and booze are great and offered at a fantastic bargain. I'm sorry, feminism, the part of my brain that you control is subject to override by the delicious-wings part of my brain.

"I also read a story once about a brother and sister who couldn't stop arguing until well into middle age, and then they found out they had had a very bad marriage in a previous life. Once they resolved that, the bickering ended. So there."

The ad sucks, but seriously, I totally could have used this back when I had an awesome kinky LDR. At one point we were seriously drafting plans to build a remotely controlled vibrator, but weren't able to feasibly get one that would cover the necessary distance.

I would never give my bathtub spout a handjob. I have roommates with long curly hair, the last thing I need is a binding agent going down that drain.

That reminds me, we need more speculums in music videos.

As a man who has let out audible, sensual moans upon seeing a good mildew remover work, I think that we should support sexualized imagery for all products regardless of gender. I'd like to see a commercial where people of all races, creeds, and sexes make jizzface over some ammonia-based fluid.

Regardless, I think this is a spectacular topic to talk about. Young men are fed narratives of sex as something that is pursued and obtained - sex as goods/property rather than shared activity/experience. And this leads to a lot of shitty behavior that they don't even realize is shitty until years later.

It's notable that when he makes that rape joke, he makes the woman's mother the rapist, and the heckler the product of that rape. It's rude and offensive, but it's not threatening and it doesn't normalize rape the way that the Tosh joke does.

I don't disagree with a single thing you're saying (and Polanski is fuckin' indefensible, the moment somebody defends him is the moment I stop listening). I just wanted to clarify that I don't think that "gray rape" merely refers to nonviolent forced sex. I think "gray rape" should be taken to refer to a situation…

Not to redefine your experience, but there's nothing gray about what you described. He initiated without provocation, ignored a plea to stop, and ignored a plea for protection. That's rape. However you choose to define it, I'm sorry you had to deal with it, and I hope he trips into an open sewer.

I mean, that's pretty goddamn valid too, but if someone thinks that a 13-year-old having sex with an adult isn't rape-rape, I think that's the big glaring issue I'd rather address. "That dude definitely raped that thirteen-year-old because she was too drugged to consent" has way more incriminating information than is…

No way, Jose. Polanski had sex with a drugged 13-year-old. There's no universe in which that behavior is anything other than rape-rape-rape-rape-rape. By the time you're 15 or 16, you should know that sex with a 13-year-old is wrong. Let alone by the time you're a powerful adult.
