Yeah, number 3 was from Stephen King's latest (the time-travel, JFK assassination one), and I can't even remember why this woman had been a virgin for so long, but all the scenes dealing with her sexual awakening were pretty cringeworthy. And King has a wife (who's a feminist!), so I don't know why he can't get a

While there are certain mistakes about female anatomy and biology that are common for male writers (my personal pet peeve, frequently perpetrated by horror authors, is a woman starting her period and suddenly feeling blood "gush" or "course" down her thighs, as though these guys are under the impression that

A friend of mine from high school/college was like that. She for some reason hated it that I was often single and didn't accept dates from all comers. When I said I wasn't interested in X guy and didn't want to go out with him, she'd be like, "It's a FREE DINNER!" And it's not like this girl was starving, she had rich

Lady, some of us eat at "Le Self" because that is the only place we can GET a salad, and some fruit, and some meat and some bread all in the same meal, because the only other options we can reach on our lunch hour are strictly burgers, fries, pizza and so on. God bless fucking Golden Corral, I can nom broccoli and

Well, they think they're "saving the babies," and they don't realize that not helping born children makes them hypocrites. It's a lot easier to "save the babies," after all. All you have to do is delay the woman for a few months and then throw up your hands and talk about personal responsibility, and once the baby is

It did. They get lost in the sewers, and for some reason Beverly's way of reuniting them and helping them find focus is to have sex with each of them in turn. I've heard various thematic justifications for it, like the sex is them leaving childhood behind and crossing into adulthood and putting themselves beyond the

I really think that most people who aren't already active in reproductive rights don't understand what these bills actually do. Whenever you hear reports on the news it's just like, "Oh, this would put limitations on abortions." And the popular narrative is that abortions are just something women have when they're not

Yeah, I think this is a pretty common form of dumbassery. Kids have not gone through much evolution personality-wise at the age of 14. They tend to think that things have always been one way and will continue to be that way. Like, when I was in junior high (dating myself), if a kid everyone had been in school with for

I think they've gotten worse. When I was in junior high/high school, I read everything he'd ever written. (Granted, I'm older and my tastes have matured, but it really seems like he's not even trying anymore.) Cold Fire was actually the first thing I ever read by him. I think I caught up around the time Intensity was

I don't shop on Etsy much, but while looking for an accessory with some literary quote on it I saw so many "necklaces" that were basically just flat metal shapes with words stamped on them (like the personalized tags you can make for your pet), strung with a charm or two. I mean, more power to you if you want that, I

Personally speaking, I'd be really grateful if another guy stepped in and let a harasser know that his behavior is not acceptable and is not impressive to other guys. When I was a sophomore in high school, I went to our winter formal with a big group of girls. Because none of us drank, we eschewed the afterparties in

I read one explanation that said they base the claim on the fact that pregnancy supposedly decreases a woman's cancer risk, and therefore if you have an abortion instead of being pregnant you are "increasing" your cancer risk. (Though obviously "not decreasing" does not equal "increasing", much less "causing.")

The logic I've heard is that Viagra corrects a medical *dysfunction*, but pregnancy's not an "illness" that needs to be prevented so birth control doesn't count as legitimately medicinal. Because as long as it's not a technical disease, we're not allowed to want to avoid it and its bazillion potential

"Furious muscle toddler" is possibly the most apt description of Chris Brown I've ever read.

IT'S SO FLUFFY.

Wow, that's one hell of a totally natural growth spurt her boobs had in the last five years.

Funny how the same people who complain about minorities "popping out babies" are often the same people who vote to deny minorities access to affordable health care, contraception and abortion.

There was an MRA guy - I think the one who ran the "Ameriskanks Suck" page - that wrote this triumphant novella about having a picnic with his submissive, feminine Asian wife, watching the sun go down while she rested her head in his lap and he stroked her hair, and she laughed at the idea of feminism and said things

I think it's supposed to be a "it won't do x so much as y" construction.

Earlier this year he said he thinks black people should be put back on plantations so they can learn what it means to have a work ethic. Guy has issues, to put it mildly.
