or maybe he has a contract with HBO, and is being as diplomatic as possible considering the backlash over the scene? He's opening up as much narrative space as possible to give the showrunners breathing room, but is at the same time signalling that his writing of it came from a different place.

nope

Yeah, definitely not. Cersei is the only woman he's loved and ever had sex with.

Well, his character in the books would never rape anyone.

White people get to make fun of themselves. It shows that they're like, totally aware of all the bad things white people have done, and they feel really, really bad about it guys.

For all y'all saying it turned you off, that's fine. But I think that his "fetish", as a lot of you are calling it, is really a challenge to the childish squeamishness guys display in private conversation with other male friends over female body hair. His article isn't targeted at women, it's a provocation of the men…

I met her in 9th grade of high school. We had an Enriched English class together and she did a presentation on Noir movies. I remember thinking "She is annoyingly smart and sophisticated". We didn't interact again until 11th grade Europe Trip. We were at the Opera in Vienna and she was sitting in the aisle in front of…

Erin's comment was a response to the narrow, hardline commenter who refuses to acknowledge the sincerity of the apology. I think she's got all the perspective in this case considering the number of douchey non-apologies that Jezebel covers. Stephen King's apology was clearly a decent attempt to own up to the mistake…

oh good god, don't be so obtuse.

It honestly doesn't sound all that different to me. I don't infer an inherent difference of intent between tap and slap.

It isn't really. Being slapped in the dick doesn't really hurt.

There's really no perfect comparison here. Penises are a little less hair trigger than clitorises in general and rough play with a penis can be pretty par for the course. Ball sacks are not really a pleasure receptor. They're way more of a liability than they are a pleasure centre. There's no reason to slap a ballsack…

Just to be clear, I'm not saying it isn't dumb or kind of random or even harmful (if that's how boys and girls are learning to sex yada yada), I'm just wondering how it's specifically degrading.

I'm not 100% sure I'm following you here. I don't think you're wrong or anything I just don't get it. I don't see how…

How is getting slapped on your clit degrading?

Tucker is blowing up like a balloon. Maybe it's because he's so full of shit.

Get off your high horse man, yeesh. You know a little something about ontology, congratulations, but that doesn't mean you should climb the soapbox and start preaching about moral imperatives like you're Moses coming down the mount with the Ten Commandments.

Men should bear the brunt of the responsibility for being more sensitive, engaged and understanding lovers. It's men that need to learn. Aggregate levels of orgasm might rise as a result of that, who knows, but sex would end up being better whether you cum or not. And if men put less pressure on you to cum maybe you'd…

wow. where did you even get this image from?? I've never seen him this young.

You're the sexiest.

It wasn't super hard to tell between the comments. Some were more difficult to tell than others, but often it was the magazine moving into rapey territory rather than the rapists' comment seeming like it was fit for print.
