Solution: tell your friends you have an ice cream maker. They will all request that you make ice cream for parties.

I realize my comment sounds very angry. But this study (which my parents already called me to tell me about a few days ago) just brings up the same feelings in me as the articles/threads denigrating women who go for big diamond engagement rings. Yes, there are problems with the diamond industry (clearly this is an…

Notice how it's the divorced WOMEN they focus on and the money that was spent on THEIR wedding…as opposed to the wedding they planned with their fiancés. All of this is such double-standard BS that just plays into the whole Bridezilla/Gold-digger/Women are superficial narrative.

It is getting very boring how some man always feels the need to come out and say, "Women should not hit or provoke their man" whenever domestic violence is discussed. Because it again works into a line of thinking that male-perpetrated violence against women is at the same level of woman-on-man violence on the…

"As for fetal anomalies, it simply isn't necessary to abort a child because he or she is sick or has a medical condition."

*would love it if someone could pull me out of the grays here...

"Not profitable" because low demand. At least in the US, birth control is vastly considered a woman's problem that men don't need to both with since only women get pregnant. Looking to all the comments here already mentioning how this will never be popular cause men can't even be bothered with condoms, we clearly…

I never understand this type of response. Catholic schools teach their students that it is unethical to get an abortion, but they treat any pregnancy that they deem wrong as punishable and so shameful that it must be hidden. I remember at my Catholic all-girls high school, it was rumored that if a student got…

The first sentence of this post seems a bit tortured and confused: Saqqara is the name of a modern Egyptian village, and that name has been assigned to the ancient monuments in its vicinity, including Djoser's funerary complex and Step Pyramid, at least two subterranean gallery tombs of the earlier Second Dynasty,…

It was a quick statement meant as a joke, since - as I mentioned in another reply - the fact that the members of OD are frequently the protagonists in male/male fanfic, mostly written by young girls, is something that Jezebel has talked about before. I don't see why you thought I was implying that Harry or any of the…

I know nothing about OD other than recognizing their songs on the radio sometimes and that Styles used to date T-Swift…and that apparently the band members are a popular subject of slash fanfic…so I hadn't heard any of these rumors. But I suppose I was naively assuming that it wasn't the case with them. The more…

Considering that boy bands were once known for forcing any homosexual members to hide their orientation to maintain their squeaky clean image and sell more posters to teen girls, this is a nice change.

Seriously. I understand why people already shove stuff in the front of their sports bras. But if Lululemon is specfically designing full tanks with pockets for storing stuff, why does it have to be right on your boobs? Seems needlessly awkward.

I know less than like, 8 year old kid in science class, information about pandas, but I did not know they were intelligent enough to do something like "fake a pregnancy." Touché, Pandas.

I replied that way only because he spent quite a lot of space justifying why, although he's not a woman and he can understand why this would be uncomfortable, abuse is wrong, etc., he thinks her approach was wrong. And it boils down to saying she is not allowed to feel a certain way about something. So yeah, I got…

Fair. I was thinking more specifically of the juxtaposition Brenna has set up of porn that degrades women vs. Potterotica with fully formed characters, as well as the differences between visual and print media. Also porn clearly reaches a much wider audience and has more influence on mainstream society than specific…

I don't think anyone here is saying that porn is a universal ill that we need to get rid of. I certainly don't mean to say it. What they're saying is is that portrayal matters. Because porn is explicitly sex and relationships, people can more easily use it as a model for their real life. And if you think that…

"I'm not a woman…"

Well, now I can have a non-beer-snobby reason to use for when I don't want to drink the Corona people bring to my house. Clear glass bottles is basically the company advertising to you that their beer isn't any good in the first place!

If this turns out awesome, it could help me love Johnny again. Also, Vanessa Paradis forever!
