I have known it to mean making out, but pretty much only by younger teens.

My theory is penis= status. By denying the importance of the almighty penis, you are denying a man's status as King Dickwad. Or something. I'm working on it.

Thank you! That made my heart feel better.

WOW. The arrogance of telling actual Black people that THEY don't know what the N-word means... That is astounding. That makes me feel like maybe sometimes murder is ok?

That's awful but it's not surprising. They do whatever they can to make their job easier. I don't know why but it's the same in every state. They probably saw all that paperwork you put together and were like NOPE.

Well I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't strip search his followers for contraband before he fed them all bread and fish.

I know an addiction counselor who has to try to treat people who have failed drug tests administered by their parole officer. So she gets people who smoke pot once a week, get to work on time, and haven't actually been in trouble for pot before (usually they've been caught with some other drug initially or had a DUI).…

Me too. And I had so much trouble keeping my benefits when all they needed was just like proof of rent and pay stubs. When I was on food assistance, with the way my case was handled, I probably would have gotten some letter in the mail dated a week ago informing me that I have two days to get my drug screen turned in…

"The applicant will be outfitted with a treatment or recovery regimen that can last up to six months"

It's confusing for me too but I think you're right. My understanding is that now Obamacare will get the women of HobLob coverage, which LOGICALLY should outrage "Mumble bumble MY tax dollars!!! Mumble bumble" conservatives. But it won't because they're bigots and love seeing a win for Republican Jesus*.

Yeah I don't know how all of the people making that argument apparently found their jobs so easily without ever compromising on anything. It's like they live in Bazaaro World where employers are just begging everybody to work for them instead of the other way around.

Sigh. You're so depressingly right. The men (and it's only men) on my news feed keep talking about BC as though it's frivolous even though you know their wives and daughters use it because none of them have 15 kids. It affects them almost directly that way, but because it's about women, it's automatically silly and…

Thank YOU for your username!

I wish $35 was "a small price to pay for a night of indiscretion." But like many many women my budget's a bit tight. Also my long term relationship is not an indiscretion.

Miscommunication about the definition of "racism" is definitely a big part if the problem. People think it is synonymous with "prejudice" when it's actually a whole different thing. I see people getting defensive when they hear that there is no such thing as racism against White people because they understand it to…

Yeah no matter how long I've been enjoying the comments on Jez, I'm always disgusted by the ignorance surrounding race. Like really? You know what patriarchy means but not racism? You had your white feelings hurt once so you shut out all information about how power and history matters?? Just get out ugh.

I love how their rhetoric reminds me of every MRA.
