I heard it as “If you’re going to call yourself a feminist, make sure you get enthusiastic consent from your partners and respect even a soft no.” 

Aspartame doesn’t cause cancer. Soda may not be good for you for a variety of reasons but you won’t get cancer from aspartame. 

The color and texture of your cervical mucous will change during your cycle. Generally, when you’re not fertile, it is thick and pasty or lotiony, and when you are, it is thin and slippery, like egg white. You will only have thin, clear mucous for a few days per month and this is completely normal. 

I was hoping for a good Abelard and Heloise joke. 

No, it’s a tiara, and that was a State Dinner, where the dress code was white tie with orders and tiaras. She was dressed perfectly appropriately. 

Maxima is Argentinian and had no royal connections prior to her marriage.

Because there is essentially no difference between “fuck” and “f**k.” I know what the missing letters are, you know what the missing letters are, we’re both adults, so what is the actual point? 

No one should be assaulted, regardless of what they’re wearing. 

Your point is just kind of stupid. Treat your neighbor as yourself and don’t worry about what they’re wearing. 

Why not treat people the way you’d want to be treated, regardless of what they’re wearing? If they’re a fellow professional, treat them professionally. If you’re on a date, treat your date with the respect you’d like to be shown. Don’t concern yourself with what they’re wearing—it’s really none of your business.

Her aim is entertainment. Rape is not entertainment.

Exercise pain, you know it will clear up in a couple of days, at worst. Pregnancy pain, you have months to go. 

Except, no, the rule has recently been changed. The Metro employee was not breaking a rule.

No one denies this. 

Where I live, teachers must have first responder training. Of course, call 911, but if you’re around students you should know the basics of how to respond until help arrives.

I mean, my kid swims competitively and I live in South Florida, where we know from hot. The coaches make sure every kid has a water bottle and they make sure everyone stops every 15-20 minutes and drink, and they’re in the water. In the heat, it’s so easy to get heat stroke even when you think you wouldn’t.

You don’t have to have first responder training to play football, so I can’t hold the players responsible. The staff should have definitely known better, and been human enough to about the player. 

I’m sure that over the course of her swimming career, my daughter will lose to many different swimmers who have a variety of different advantages. If she were to be bigoted against trans women and girls she might compete against for any reason, and feel like she deserved to win because she happens to be cis (TTBOMK), t…

Lots of athletes have unfair biological advantages over others in their same class. My 12 year old daughter is 5'10" and she swims competitively against other 12 year old girls who are barely 5'. Is she cheating by virtue of having tall parents?

Life and competition aren’t fair. Get over it. We as a society are better…
