Second comment: Between this and the diet coke non-study you posted today, Jezebel needs a real science writer. You can't just throw stuff up there like this and be like "yeah its stupid! Obviously" without any really thought or take down. Or on the coke thing: this coke thing really jives with what I want to…

First of all, its kind a crappy study, but I don't see what's "ridiculous" with the idea (unless I'm missing something). Woman might not know that they are at peak fertility, but they might be feeling in a sexy mood at peak fertility. When you feel you are in a sexy mood to you do things that are sort of sexy? Like…

Its like he's dating a 12 year old.

There are real problems in the world. Stop worrying about soda.

I guess when you are a screenwriter or director you can make your own world, cast it, act it, and then mistake it for the real thing.

I get this and I don't get this. I can't help thinking about the historical origins of race relations and know that they were primarily created by men. Yes, women and men created those situations, but for centuries men had all the power and did most of this. Today, I feel like race or ethnicity is like a barrier…

The first amendment covers the right to express any idea. Ideas are not actions and are not objects that can be used and misused. Porn is for a use. One of the big reasons that freedom of speech can exist is because of the idea that "words will never hurt me". You can say anything to anyone, but you cannot…

I agree. I think this article is really confusing two things 1) unkind men, which can be found both online and offline, and 2) online dating. It can be hard to avoid offensive people regardless, especially when you are putting yourself out there. Online dating works for some but not for others. But I don't think…

Great article. I do disagree about the word feminism though. I think we should't call it feminism anymore because I think it is a word that excludes men. I know women have had more problems. I know. I still think that renaming it would be more inclusive. As you point out in this article, men suffer under…

I hate portia's new haircut. You can't look exactly like the person you have sex with. To weird.

Lactaid doesn't work for me.

Here here. I'm becoming increasingly angry at the gluten free population because it gets recognition - and most of its adherents don't even need to be gluten free - while I'm lactose intolerant and I get almost zilch. And lactose intolerance is much more prevalent than gluten sensitivity, especially in non-white…

Innate gender bias? What? Innate? Are you just trying to prove a point or is this like a thing now?

I've felt that way too. So much about the discussion about modern love leaves out the reality that loving and breaking up and loving again and breaking up... can be devastatingly hard. And that is can affect your health. Where is that conversation?

Right on.

Isn't there a huge difference between redface or blackface - literally artificially coloring of the skin - as opposed to just appropriating a style, however stereotypical? I think I find the former much more offensive. I think.

Maybe she can't write feminist protagonists because... she just isn't a very good writer.

I thought this was really funny, because I was not sympathetic with you at all. I've only ever snubbed someone like that a few times in my life... and every time it was because they had a personality trait that drove me up the wall and I couldn't take it anymore. Maybe she doesn't like you for a legitimate reason,…

Perhaps some people can't drop 3000 in three months in their twenties because they have no obligations - but those people are truly poor, they aren't middle class people or lower-middle class people or twenty somethings that can simply pass for broke. I'm saying that there are plenty of middle class kids that didn't…

Wow. I guess I'm an asshole. I feel like this article is way off base, it doesn't know the difference between rich, middle class, and poor. Did you not go to Europe or not travel at all? Did you not go to Harvard or did you not go to college? These things are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. I went to a…
