Hahaha, I read the whole article going, "What in the holy fuck is it for, though?!?" then got to the shaving mention and, "Ooooohhhhhhhh!"

It's cultural relativism taken to the point of obliviousness. Just because something "is part of the culture" doesn't make it ethically okay, especially when it involves the subjugation, abuse, or mistreatment of an unwilling class or set of participants. Terrible things like this happen everywhere, and refusing to…

Frankly, I welcome the "Pussyification" of any society.

Vaginas are fucking fantastic and are able to withstand more pain and suffering and then bounce back to normal than anything a man has.

So, I for one welcome our new Vagina-Bearing Over-Ladies.

Women with severe dysmenorrhea* and no sick days would appreciate this measure.

I kind of feel the same way every time I see this sort of content on Jezebel. It's great when women don't feel bound to the pressure to act feminine, but do we need to encourage a cycle of binge drinking and fucking as much as humanly possible? That's really not a happy lifestyle; it's a self-deluding lifestyle.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???

I've mentioned it on here before, but some internet crazy threw at me, "You know you KILLED your child, right?!" when I wrote about my termination. For medical reasons. For a baby who wouldn't survive. Who was threatening my life.

I USED TO LIVE RIGHT BESIDE DUTCH DREAMS AND IT IS FUNNY LOOKING AND THE ICE CREAM IS PRETTY AVERAGE. There are way better parlours in Toronto, just sayin'.

Dutch Dreams? Meh. It's fairly ordinary ice cream, glammed up with lots of toppings and served in a waffle cone. If she wants to show him really great Toronto ice cream, she should take him to Ed's Real Scoop for the homemade omfg goodness. Plus, Queen East folk would be too cool to pay him any notice.

"Is this the ass that launched a thousand shows

wow, they totally spelled "racist" wrong in this sentence, "We know it is racy and does push the boundaries further than other songs out there."

Scott Simon is a mensch, and the love he has for his mom, and her love for him, is so touching.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm having a stressful awful day and this put things into perspective. It also gave me the cry I so desperately needed.

Oh, don't listen to humble. You are just telling the truth about yourself. It's not a brag — it's just your story. Some people like to be nasty — ignore them. Humble is a total jerk for saying what s/he did. It was totally unnecessary and not true.

Yeah I demand that complex health care decisions be made by a faceless corporation beholden to stock holders.

Yes, this.

I think one should strive to be picky (intensely picky) about the relationship, not the person. There will certainly be overlap, but less than you'd think.

This used to be a deal breaker for me, but then I met the love of my life and I was totally willing to take the train for an hour from the city to his place. Later he would find a job in the city to be closer to me and now we live together. A year of long train rides was totally worth it. I think it's easy to tell…

Let's go back to Econ 101. When you *can't* pay for it (oh, I don't know, because Republicans cut education/food/welfare programs designed to help people get back on their feet) society ends up picking up the tab. Unplanned pregnancies cost the US around $11 billion per year. Whether you like it or not, you're already…

The thing is, if you don't allow affordable health care (birth control, abortions, etc) to poorer women who need it, you're going to end up with a lot of kids they can't afford, and will need to be subsidized by the taxpayer. Ie. you. And it will cost more. A lot more.
