It really is shitty. I remember shit like him wanting to choke me, and because I didn't want that he reacted like there was something wrong with me - like I must have some kind of traumatic past if I'm responding poorly to very aggressively dominant sexual behavior. I'm like - okay without getting all kink-shamey -…

I once out of curiosity drank left over wine from a glass my parents had left out from the night before. I’m fine. Her kids will be fine. Not cleaning up after one party is not a big deal.

Friend of mine was telling me that the first time he ever had alcohol he was probably 5 and it was at a family gathering at a…

So, I was being hyperbolic, obviously. And I stated that I too enjoy it, mostly because I enjoy giving my partner pleasure. I don’t find it by itself physiologically satisfying. You’ll also be hard pressed to find where I said all men demand blow jobs, all men demand it because of porn, and all men like blow jobs.

In…

One doesn’t preclude the other. It’s obviously possible that many women enjoy anal. It can also be true that anal is becoming more common place in part because people are learning to expect and anticipate it as the norm. I've tried it, I don't like it - and the man I tried it with simply couldn't believe I didn't like…

I think it’s part of the ‘cool girl’ thing. Trying to be the opposite of the stereotype of the frigid bitch who only does missionary and miiiiight maybe give you a blowie on your birthday. “I’m not LIKE other girls. I loooove sucking dick.” Like, okay, maybe you do like it. But also, you don’t have to? It’s okay if…

I enjoy it, but I wouldn’t say it’s empowering. I enjoy it in the same way that I enjoy giving my partner pleasure with other things sexual and otherwise. I think any woman who says she gets personal sexual pleasure out of performing fellatio is lying. But it’s possible to like doing it the same way you like giving…

I definitely had a boyfriend who was *shocked* that I didn't want him to 'skullfuck' me while he choked me. "Women in porn like it." But he was an asshole of the highest magnitude, and no other man that I've been with has been at all like that.

It's the 'states rights, no federal protections for anything' thing that gets my goat about libertarians. Progressive ballot measures are easier to defeat at state and local levels, except in outlier super lib places like Washington. Matters of human rights can't be relegated to the states. There are things that need…

I hate this whole "people don't trust [fill in the blank]" as justification for bad policy or stupid statements. Sometimes people don't trust stuff not because there's valid reason for mistrust, but because they've heard lies on repeat from people who seem to know what they're talking about. The way to counter that is…

I’ve been unabashedly excited about this all week. I was always kind of into it, to be honest. When she clinched it months ago delegate wise, I put a "lets everyone just appreciate this moment" post on fb. Like, okay I know lots of people are disappointed and don't like Clinton, etc, but lets take a second to just let…

Yeah, I mean maybe it is nothing more than a political alliance... but you can see there's real affection there, I think. Not "oh my god they're so in love" like with the Obamas, but genuine affection and excitement for each other's successes. Bill was beaming at everything all week and I loved it.

I'ma say you run too fast. I'm a decidedly average runner; did a charity 5k a couple weeks ago. Already had one 5k egg incubating but it was only at like .3, started another 5k just as I started my run. I hatched the first and got the other very close - so it undercut my distance a little but registered most of it.

Yep, I think of this every time the 'pc' thing comes up. Neil Gaiman is a treasure.

I will bet everything I own that she’s a Republican

The Clintons have been accused of criminal behavior up to and including straight up murder for decades... it is sadly not a new narrative, but the election fraud spin is a new touch.

They really, truly don't. She opens her mouth and people are too busy formulating a response to what they think she's going to say or deciding what she actually means to really listen to the words that come out of it.

I just tried to say the same thing, but you did it much better.

We’ve reached a bizarre place in this country where we’re finally ready to nominate and elect a female president, but the only woman who has the kind of experience that qualifies her is not the kind of woman a lot of young people want to elect. And so because she came up in politics in a different era and played the…

Meh, Jake Tapper can giggle all he wants - I personally interpreted it as a fuck you to republicans. Not enough flags at the DNC? I'll give you a flag.

Sure it was cheesy but it was cheesy in a way that just worked. Making the 'first woman president' narrative visual in that way was genius. It just resonated, even with people like you and I who choked up even while being fully aware that it's total cheese.
