Not saying that Sinead would have been the megastar she thinks she would have been without tearing the picture up.

Sadly, always relevant!

Also, I think there’s an issue with women not being taken seriously for their medical complaints. Years ago I was going through some endless vagina problems. Doctors were really dismissive. “You’re fine. Take some diflucan and you’ll be fine. You took the diflucan? You’re fine.” and I actually was turning to some of…

I read somewhere (while I was taking a French translation course, so it actually helped) that where American women are raised to seek happiness, French women are raised to look for passion. So something like Manon of the Spring is ultimate romance for a culture that teaches its girls that the pinnacle of the human…

I have a mom in my daycare who smokes cigarettes while pregnant and I pretty much labeled her as a monster in my head.

Don’t want to seem misogynistic? Don’t use the word hysterical to describe a woman. Ever. It is a loaded term.

Emily Yoffe? The same Emily Yoffe who famously victim blamed when she was “Dear Prudence”. She knows nothing about consent.

what? dude, you need therapy. you have some messed up ideas about women, holy shit.

Risking your life for a dog is flat out stupid.

People can’t make a fucking decision. I have loads of friends in a city in Florida. I was encouraging people to flee town on MONDAY! Offering to help with skymiles, hotel points, cash whatever I could. But no. Now mind you this is about thirty different households in this city - not just two dumbkoffs. “Well, I’ll…

He’s an outstanding alcoholic.

Yoffe cherry-picked a case to fit her premise and told a one-sided, biased tale.

Should people who come over undocumented face some kind of consequences for technically breaking the law (and that consequence can be something like a fine before getting them on a citizenship pathway)?

Calling McMansionHell blog! http://mcmansionhell.com Best thing ever.

I disagree. Holding a good example to make a case for a cause goes a long way than holding up a criminal as a martyr.

V.C. Andrews was addictive to me as a pre-teen. The good side effect was that I stayed addicted to reading and even taught English for awhile. Also, although those books peaked my sexual curiosity, I didn’t actually have sex until I was a respectable college age, so maybe they did their job? I don’t know. I just know…

Conservatives have made sexual assault a partisan issue, and she’s a devout Christian so double whammy. Boys are being vilified and falsely accused of heinous crimes by girls who, let’s be honest, aren’t the “good girls.” Good girls don’t put themselves in a position where they could tempt those poor slaves to their…

Sorry, that was a lot for a Friday.

Emily Yoffe's obvious bias is why I stopped reading Slate. She has such a low opinion of women, well, women who aren't just like her. Thanks for highlighting the actual cases she attacked in such detail.
