Wouldn't it be a shame if a resistance band were to magically shoot across the room like a giant rubber band into his balls?????

How’s that hope-y, one-man-one-woman-y stuff goin’ for ya, Sarah?

THIS 👏 ALBUM 👏 WAS 👏 BORING

Emotional support animals are not service animals. Service animals undergo special training to perform a specific task for a person with a disability. This can be anything from be a person’s eyes to recognize an oncoming seizure. They’re covered under the ADA. Those vests you see that say, “Don’t pet me. I’m working,”…

As someone who recently nearly died likely because of my birth control pill at the ripe old age of 29 (hello, pulmonary embolism), I find the woo-woo concerns about hormonal birth control really frustrating. I had originally gone on birth control to modulate my extreme depressive swings around my period (in addition…

Revisionist history, Frida!!!

Oh, my family was mixed race in suburbia in the 70s/ 80s and gyms weren’t really friendly to that. He’s get accused of hitting on women, leaving messes- just general micro aggressions. My dad got tired of it and basically built his own, and let literally anyone come by, so we had all races, some gay weightlifters who…

We need a piece on Jez about your childhood! My mind is spinning like a movie montage of what that garage was like. Why were body builders uncomfortable in gyms? Too Jazzercisey?

More likely there were a bunch of skeptics who ordered it and while eating the real meat burgers, thinking they were the Impossible burger, they were saying, “Yuk! This is terrible! It tastes nothing like the real thing!”

As a bi, I can tell you a major factor in the difference between my attraction to women versus other genders is that when I’m attracted to a woman, I’m often unsure if I want to be with her or be LIKE her. It’s very common in same-gender attraction. I don’t feel that kind of confusion with my attraction to other…

As a natural blond who has been called “Blondie” or “Barbie” in an insulting way for much of my life: No. Bottle blondes are NOT allowed to identify as blondes. Sure they do, and there are so many of them they usually get away with it. But it’s not the same club. 

Exactly! Years ago, my daughter was in a Summer program for advanced high school students and they invited a retired Dean of Admissions from Princeton to address the parents on “College Day.” After taking about the fourth different version of the question “What do I have to do to get my kid into an Ivy?”, he said “Let…

You get out of college/university what you put into it. There are a lot of dedicated students who learn more at a random community college than some of these kids do at an expensive prestigious university.

I relate to this a lot - it took me several attempts at being vegetarian before I was eating more than cheese and bread. The key to a meat-free diet is that you sort of shift the entire construct of meals that you had before. It’s not about “replacing” meat, but more about expanding your food options to include new…

and she has access to all the money, for all the supplements to make up for the actual essential things your body needs that you can only get from animal products.

It’s really not funny. I’m thinking of all of the really hard working students, students who put in the time, got great grades, and whose parents don’t have hundreds of thousands to bribe their way in.

I wish I were surprised to read that Melanie Bevan became chief of this department in 2016, the first woman to hold the post. The chief when this asshat was reported the first time? Michael Radzilowski, who spent 13 years as chief. 

Christian purity culture is absolute bullshit. I was raised in it and it does a ton of damage. Especially to girls. 

What is it with the Greek system and various ice-based tortures? When I was in college, one of the sororities made their pledges go for a midnight run in their underwear, and given that our college was nearly on the Arctic Shelf, that was some seriously dangerous and stupid shit.

Nah, that’s perfect form for power lifting bench.
