What an absolute fool I was for not anticipating that they would put my life and the lives of those on the bus and those in oncoming traffic at risk for a flash of lights that did nothing to impact them in any way whatsoever and could have theoretically had nothing whatsoever to do with whatever they were doing. I…

I did the light tap on someone once in the far left lane- they sped up, swerved over in front of a bus in the middle lane, then cut back in front of me and jammed on their brakes so hard that I hit them. I should mention that this was on a six lane bridge with no center divider in the rain. I was fortunate enough to…

I’ve also found that discussing menses and all the accompanying symptoms without shame in the company of men helpful in this regard. Anything that normalizes the actual female experience of the world, rather than the idealized one, can be truly ugly-making in the eyes of the Y chromosomed.

The human experience is not just logic and reason - issues related to gender and race have emotional content that can and should be valued as well. Part of the reason we’re in the mess we’re in is because we’ve been using only the analytical lens (which is associated in this culture by the masculine and quantitative)…

It’s firmly embedded in consumer culture, which is based on the commodification of EVERYTHING, and our internal emptiness, which we are taught to fill with all the commodities as a way of feeling whole. I don’t see this mindset changing until we shift our cultural paradigm.

Please, please, please correct the first line of the article that says, “copyright infringement” to accurately reflect “trademark infringement” - copyright and trademarks are two totally different types of intellectual property rights. Copyright doesn’t cover names, so I can’t believe that Bey’s attorneys would have…

“Hide and Go Fuck Yourself” = sheer brilliance. I’m gonna use that one on all the trolls :)

They don’t talk about the racial composition of this group. I know that this vaccine was developed with those oncogenic strains affecting white folk and not the strains that primarily affect people of color, so I’m also assuming that this amazing drop in infection rates is just for whites.

Particularly after using the adjective, “illiterate”...

So...there was actually someone around, watching him decompensate, and they did nothing to assist him? Given the detailed “reports” of his behavior, I’m assuming that’s the case. I don’t know that we’ve been too cavalier about the use of THC since there is NOT a lethal dose of it in and of itself and we’ve always…

This was in 1870:

What self respecting woman calls the vulva, “roast beef curtains”? That’s a metaphor I think we could all do without in this lifetime. And, since she clearly thinks that women are just meat, why would she care of there was more than one dude in line at the buffet? Feels like some externalized self-loathing to me.

For an analog alternative, I highly recommend ben wa balls. I just got a set from Lelo and I wish I had bought some a decade ago...

Clearly, you've not had to deal with this issue before, so why don't you just go on your merry little way and let us ladies bemoan our shared experiences without your involvement? You don't want to worry your pretty little head about this anyway. We're all totally overreacting. Because WOMEN.

Exhaust isn't, though.

This is one of my major issues. I can handle anything provided I know the "why"...and in relationships, that kind of clarity is rare, if not non-existent (sometimes the other person doesn't even know the "why"). The only thing that keeps me (relatively) sane is embracing the idea that everything happens for a reason…

So, this isn't a painting of a vagina...it's a painting of a vulva. Hard to paint something that is inside the body. How are people supposed to know what's what if we (as women) continue to mislabel our parts? Sorry - this has just been seriously getting on my nerves lately. Can't Jezebel get it right, at least?

"So unless you possess the All-Seeing Eye of Sauron, make no attempt to disrupt violence occurring right in front of you. Call the police, who are empowered by the state, and don't want you questioning or challenging that power—not even by intervening when you see something wrong."

I have one whenever I have a boozy brunch - with Bailey's AND Jameson because I'm hard core Irish like that.

I admire your courage in talking about this incredibly painful time publicly. I can only imagine how betrayed and horrified you felt by both your father and your own body/mind. I hope that your story continues to open up the conversation about this issue so that those meeting family for the first time as adults can…
