You have a point—most men don't get periods, and most of them (the ones in government, at least) haven't shown much compassion for women's reproductive health. Then again, could the robots do any worse?

To be clear, Glow isn't a new app from Walgreens; it's an existing period tracker app that's pretty popular on its own. So what Walgreens is adding is essentially...online shopping for birth control, which you still have to pick up in person?

I definitely maybe misread the title of this article as:

Alcohol is strongly correlated with rates of sexual assault. If there were an actually enforceable way of preventing college students from drinking, then that would be a policy to consider.

I know it's a national policy, not a UVA-specific one. However, I find it—what's the word? Ironic? Shortsighted? maybe even Privileged?—that these guys are making such a fuss about having a few more restrictions on how they serve alcohol when their female counterparts can't do so at all.

There's a pretty big difference between the No True Scotsman fallacy (no true BDSM adherent would ever murder someone) and the very reasonable objections of a minority group that "Hey, this one crazy person who claims an identity with us doesn't actually represent us."

Though on a very different level, it's similar to…

The crazy thing is that with these restrictions, the UVA fraternities still have more alcohol privileges than any sororities (which are nationally dry). These guys want things completely fair? Either allow sororities to have houses and throw open parties (which they can't at many schools), or don't allow either frats…

I thought so too! How weird and stuntish to make Laura Dern and her family roll out the red carpet while wearing fancy clothes? (and I'm in my 30s, so it's not just your eyes!)

With regard to rape culture and the normalization of male sexual aggression, yes, there are studies that provide evidence. Not 24 hours ago, Jezebel reported on one of these studies (which, though based on a troublingly low sample size, suggests that up to 1/3 of college men would be willing to commit rape, provided…

Theories about rape culture suggest that rape becomes more likely when it—and lesser, related practices—becomes normalized: when we believe that male sexual aggression is natural and desirable, then male sexual aggression that crosses the line into assault comes to be seen as understandable, if regrettable.

In the case…

And you know, that goofy-hatted dog of yours really is a son of a bitch. Surprise literal usage!

The question of what's fair in terms of housework—especially among husbands who "don't see dirt" and wives who like to see their homes clean—becomes a lot clearer if you transpose it to a different chore: cooking.
I'm responsible for the majority of the cooking in my house. Is it fair for me to only cook dishes that I…

Um, Oliver was referring to the part of the text that was highlighted in boldface ("It was kind of weird and out of the typical SNL act"), pointing out that there were lots of unusual musical guests during the early years of SNL, so the show's inviting Bowie wasn't much of a departure.

I think III is the King in Chess.

Grande is just copying Anna Wintour.

Mac (not Max) has as much energy at 3 as he did as a puppy - I predict a very long life for this little guy. (ETA: I realize, after posting this, the irony of writing about his energy while posting a picture of him sleeping. All I can say is that he gives 100% to everything he does, whether it's napping or barking at…

I agree that stories like Dino's are one of the clearest ways to refute Grothman's allegations—lots of people, given a little bit of help, can make a better life for themselves, and welfare should be set up to make sure that those folks have the help they need to get on their feet.

OK, so to be clear, Glenn, you don't want single moms and their kids to receive aid:

Maybe photoshop is easier these days...but I also wonder whether they just used some makeup on her nipples—it's a time-honored trick of exotic dancers and other sex workers, which I kinda think Madonna would be down with.

I understand now. Carry on!
