Yeesh...If you really consider yourself an ally you should stop defining other people’s sexualities for them.

...Why are you assuming the best friend is straight?

entr’acte was referring to Gingrich, not Trump. Gingrich is 73.

It becomes problematic, though, when you want to refer specifically to the vagina. I had a stupidly stupid conversation with my husband after the birth of our daughter concerning some of the damage that had been done. It ended with him repeatedly shouting, “BUT I DON’T GET IT, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE INSIDE OR…

I wish! Punisher would’ve been nice too. No, I was named after Veronica from Archie comics. I worked with a woman named Betty for a while who inexplicably could never remember my name.

I was named after a comic book character! My mom still loves my name, as do I

A few years back, my friend proudly announced that she had decided to give her son an uncommon name — Caleb. She (like a lot of people, I suspect) seemed to think it was uncommon because she didn’t grow up knowing many Calebs. Another friend of mine had a baby about two years ago and decided to give her what she…

It’s pretty unfair to speculate about how you would react in this situation given that the son was armed and clearly very dangerous. It must have been a terrifying ordeal, and we don’t know nearly enough details to start criticizing how other people in this situation reacted (as others have pointed out, the mother may…

I did this, and the wonderful thing is that it helped to cut down on the time strangers spent poking around my daughter. A number of times I had a smiling stranger approach the stroller, see my daughter in a blue dinosaur onesie with a purple binkie and pink cat-ear hat, and make an awkward, non-gender specific…

I don't know, you should probably explain it to us some more, though

I’ve only ever been sexually attracted to people that I love. When I’m in a good relationship, I have no sexual desire for anyone other than my SO. So when I'm in a relationship I stop having sex with others because I'm not in the habit of having sex with people I find unattractive.

Some people would love to dress nicely all the time but can’t afford it. It makes me sad to hear people say these things because, when I was a child, my mom stopped going to church because she was embarrassed that she couldn’t afford nice clothes. Don’t assume that everyone who wears jeans and t-shirts is lazy or…

To be fair, if we were friends, I wouldn’t tell you if I wanted to see it. I’d likely lie to avoid yet another lecture about how unfunny this movie must be and how it’s unworthy of anyone’s time or money.

My best friend is a cisgender woman who is frequently mistaken for a man. On several occasions, a hysterical man has followed her into the women’s bathroom, screaming about A DUDE IN THE WOMEN’S ROOM! Yes, thanks to you, there now IS a scary man in the women’s room! I would find it funny, but I worry about her safety…

I think you’re thinking of a different image. The original had him holding a children’s book properly, but it was photoshopped to make it appear as though he had it upside down. The photoshopped version was debunked on quite a few sites.

But he's not Hillary. And she didn't say it, he did. That's exactly right.

And trying to shit with a tampon in! Then begrudgingly accepting that you’ll have to change your tampon every time you shit, which will be approximately 30 times a period-day.

Absolutely. And then there are the men who are absolutely dismissive of period pain and chalk it up to women being dramatic. The dismissive way some men treat issues surrounding women’s health cannot be experienced through experiments like these. And it has gotten better, thankfully, I’m 32 now and haven’t had the…

Same. I had period pain that was so severe that I genuinely considered suicide. Had pain so bad at school that I had to have two friends practically carry me to the nurse’s office, all while the (male) teacher acted as though I was faking. Also had a (male) teacher refuse to let me use the bathroom until I explained…

And Short Circuit 2 made me cry harder than I ever have. Probably why I feel more sympathy for robots than humans sometimes.
