Actually, strategically closing off public spaces to men in contexts where men have consistently made those spaces unusable (without threat of harassment) to women has worked in many cities in many countries across the world. Having lived in countries that put space aside for women ONLY (i.e. in the metro and in…

On the one hand, I agree that men rape and sexually assault and sexually harass everywhere. And I know that WASPy north american men rape just as much as Egyptian men. (I think in North America there's just a massive effort to deny rape as rape and thus make ourselves look better.) But in both cases, its the culture…

I don't want to derail. This is, despite what Mr. "any Egyptian condemns these shameful acts" says, obviously a problem that Egypt and Egyptian men have.

One of the all time most beautiful women. And I love the red on bronze on ginger-white skin. Bold choice.

I hate to start this post this way, but I feel like I should mention that I found this so over the top that I had actually checked your posting history to see if you were a troll before deciding to reply.

In my experience the only reason you should really want to have sex if you've never had it before is that it's almost impossible to understand how much it doesn't matter until you've done it. Really. I started having sex relatively late and now, when I look back at the sex I've had, it's kind of like looking back at a…

So I've been playing around with okcupid (I don't actually live somewhere where I can find other people through okcupid so it's just playing around at this point) and one of the most fascinating features it has is the enemy finder. I have found so many awesome enemies! But now that I'm looking at the answers that make…

This documentary is tragic. It's honestly one of the most heart-wrenching things I've seen in a long time. First, Allison is a very elegant speaker and I really appreciated her honestly about the fact that to some degree, going that extra mile in terms of her beauty routine was a way of defending herself against the…

The bottom line is that domestic adoption (I won't even get into international adoption) is as morally untenable as it is because this country does very little to help families in crisis stay together. There are so many ways that we could make it easier for women to either avoid having children in the first place or…

I have a tiny chin and high, full cheeks and the only people who are attracted to me are furries who like chipmunks.

I hear what you're saying and I don't deny that many student athletes do have privilege (especially the privilege which comes with perfectly performing masculinity) in many situations. Nor do I deny that there are asshole student athletes.

This I have to disagree with. Athletes may be lucky in the sense that they get admitted to schools they are not necessarily qualified to attend, and in the sense that they have school paid for. But there is a difference between being lucky and being privileged that people need to understand. Once at those schools,…

Well, I don't know much about music schools within major universities, which I think have very different standards for admission.

Fuck you Anna Breslaw. Spontaneous Lactation is no joke. Not that I would know.

That makes sense. It's pretty unfortunate for her, ultimately. She'll be known for this for the rest of her life.

I'm sure there's a good reason. But it pretty hilarious HOW under qualified this girl was. She got a 1180 out of 1600 on her SATs! Plus, according to this article, http://www.propublica.org/article/a-colo…: "The school's rejection rate that year for the remaining 841 openings was higher than the turn-down rate for…

What a great article. I'm in my twenties and I've been looking for ways to help out in my community (which has a large population, but is rural and depressed) when I move back to my town in the Fall, but getting involved with the girl scouts never occurred to me. Partly because I was never a girl scout, but also…

Thank you and fuck you for this clip. For a minute I really thought that ten people were going to NOT be able to push a car five feet in time, and then I was going to have to watch Kirk feel things. But I am equally outraged by the fact that the train in this scene apparently is a near hit and run train that doesn't…

Hopefully that's the scenario. Though I know he's still slinking around the internet/college campuses. Lapping up the gratitude of teen and young young adult women happy to have an "ally." This gif pretty much sums of my thoughts about his time here:

What a fucking creepy. Sorry. But cut him loose. Why would you be friends with someone who actually doesn't like the gender you belong to. Would you expect a person of color to be friends with a White person who didn't like the group they belonged to? Would you expect a gay person to be friends with the like? Because…
