@gstar: It is a horrible situation. It is so seriously f*cked. The other factor in the equation is that my friend doesn't want their mutual friends and acquaintances to know what happened to her. Ah! I am pulling my hair out. I want to be a good friend and I would never want to hurt her more, but I also want to do…

I wrote a letter to the Jezebel editors recently about my close friend who was raped by a person I know. I *know* this guy, and it has been eating at me every day since I heard about it. This piece brought it all up again. My friend and I also know at least three other women he's attacked. And none of the women…

@nix: So the real question is, how do you pass this message along to younger girls (like my little half-sisters, 5 & 7) who are blasted every day with images reinforcing what it is to be "sexy" but don't yet understands what it means? Hmm...

This can explain why people say that women sexually mature later than men, in their 30's. Maybe it's at this point that women finally feel at ease expressing themselves in a manner that feels comfortable, good, and personal. It could also be the reason why men "peak" younger; they're told from young age to go out and…

It seems more appropriate for Cruella de Ville.

God, the UK, in my humble opinion, is barbaric when it comes to womens' rights. Embarrassing and disgusting. Bet her "husband" doesn't even have charges against him yet. Good job, UK!

Just always have exceptional, varied music playing in your house so she can hear lots of new (to her), awesome things. Hopefully, your daughter will learn good taste in music that way and will shun the Katy Perry's of the world. Teach her to be a music snob.

@auburngal: Oh, and be prepared for the wind to know the wind out

LAYERS, LAYERS, LAYERS. Take it from a Michigander (and Chi-town

Ugh. I tried to watch it once but had to turn it off. SEXPIONAGE is

Now I feel dumb for scoring so well on that section, lol.

So nice to know that there are some good judges out there. Question though: how does this affect double jeopardy for the defendant, GGW? Is is not relevant as this is a civil case? As much as I (obvs) despise the first ruling, wasn't it a fair trial? In how many cases is the "weight of evidence" disregarded by the…

@lazyacademic: Right? Because women weren't totally influential in the French Revolution and demanded equal rights in the new Republic... before women's voting was even on the radar here.

How come Disney seems to only promote their female starts to this extent? Chastity-ring-wearing Jonas Bros. aside, there definitely seems to be a focus on the virginal and pure good girl. Disney is the Western Afghanistan!

Yeesh, I got Sarah Palin. Maybe that's why I hate her so much? Thanks, Jezebel. Now I really want to die.

This just goes to show that the regional nuances of pot-smoking cannot be ignored- not the way Midwesterners smoke, at all. Different smokes for different folks!

It is democracy.... would we have it any other way? (Sigh) Let's look forward to 2012. Maybe this will be what Obama needs to do well at that point. We might get the House back then, too, if people stay as unsatisfied as they seem to be now (why they're unsatisfied, I can't understand. Those GOPers are *so* effing…

HAH

Those women had a huge impact on me, too, in high school when this show was on. In fact, I remember the episode the last clip came from, and remember feeling really bad that my thighs touched at the top and Portia's didn't. If I had known I would have had to eaten only 150 calories to achieve this feat, I might have…

@jlpwjh4l: No, Only governor. In MI, they're on the same ticket. I believe it's the Secretary of State and the Attorney General that are elected separately and are there to create a check in the system. But that's only if they're of a different party...
