1. It does seem odd that they'd pick *this* as crossing the line, when they have so much asshattery to choose from.

Cracked can be weirdly feminist sometimes. I kinda love it for that.

They have medications for that.

That would be... athletic.

"girls become hyper paranoid about shit guys have been doing since the beginning of time."

Well, this sounds like TMZ making shit up, but it really could go either way.

Yes! Like a cross between a costume piece from "The Lion King" and a piece of sci-fi armor.
