If passing the law is going to force people to either have the conversation about consent and personal sexuality... or not get laid, I have a feeling a lot more people are gonna choose to have the conversation. I feel that the law forces the cultural work.

You can't prove that you received nonverbal consent. You can't prove you received verbal consent.

I was just thinking of that last bit. I don't like any idea where women have to take an extra step or use a different space just because some men don't know how to respectfully interact with them—or worse, to avoid gender violence. BUT, I am also quite sick of cabbies asking if I have a boyfriend, suggesting that we…

Any opportunity to use my new favorite misandry GIF:

I used to write a column for Portland's alternative weekly about my adventures driving a cab at night. I thought some of you might enjoy the first one:

I wonder if some of the discrepancies between races are due to their own cultural definitions of rape. My (Chinese) mom definitely did not subscribe to the concept of rape within marriage. When I explained that my then-husband woke me up via raping me, then she was horrified, because it interrupted my sleep! And…

As a 5'5" man I can attest that this is all true.

I don't know, maybe they could react by saying "there's no way this woman could have given consent in this condition, so this is rape."

You don't hike in schlong-defining panties?

This is really, really, really misinformed. The vast majority of emoji, as specified by unicode, have no racial features whatsoever. They're just smileys with eyes and mouths.

Judges have no control over out-of-court settlements. Like, by definition, it's in the name no control. This was a lawsuit, not a criminal case. If the plaintiffs are willing to drop it for whatever reason, the law can't exactly tell them that they should be more aggrieved and pony up for the legal expenses in a…

You should have gone to the bathroom and said "I'll send you something too", then sent him a picture of a bigger dick.

Summer/Zooey Deschanel is the ultimate MPDG.

Our buns are twins!!!!

A lead actress nomination for Maslany as Sarah, supporting nominations for her as Allison, Cosima, Helena, and Rachel, and a guest spot nomination for her role as Tony.

I really have to vote for Amy here. But Julia will win.

Maslany should have been nominated 5 times - one for each clone.

She feel 13 because she makes music for 13 year old girls. Grow up and make music that is fit for a 30 year old woman not a little girl.

That would be tack, not tact. #corrections

No, satire should heighten that which it is parodying so as to illustrate the inherent absurdity of the subject. Satire that is indistinguishable from that which it is parodying is poor satire.
