OMG Dick Panic! So true, though most women's response to feeling threatened is not to start swinging. I am totally using that if ever I feel it is needed, though I no longer go to the children's bars where the over-aggressive-unwanted-attention used to happen.

THIS x 1000!!!!! We are not cave people. We don't communicate like them, eat like them, live like them, and if any of us today met one, we would likely be horrified and repulsed. But to read some of this garbage, you would think meeting a caveman would lead to some great insight into What We're Really Like Inside.

I would do this if I dropped a bunch of hardback books into water or something, and they were warped beyond repair and unreadable. But perfectly nice, NEW-looking hardback books? They haven't even aged enough to get that smell, which is half the reason for having them! And she what, just tapes the pages onto the…

I wanna rest a hot mug on THAT.

That is the perfect gif for this book funeral.

I agree. And if an out gay guy, or a guy people really thought was gay did it? OMG rape, outrage, horrible trauma.

I've had very similar thoughts about this. They learn and practice disregard for bodies and boundaries amongst each other, so of course it finds its way outside the groups. And I'm sure a lot of them have to "get over" very deep offense and wounds to stay part of the group. The "girls cry rape" thing may, in at…

"I killed Liz. I killed the teen dream. Deal with it."

http://youtu.be/ "Duck Dynasty" FTW. There is more to red-neckin' than pet pigs and neck crust.

Oh dear God, what a horrible thing to witness! Were you able to *react at all and maybe tell them that the law defining rape doesn't specify gender, and a girl CAN rape a guy? And that ignorance of the law is no excuse? Or tell her parents there's a guy out there with the ability to report a sex crime against him…

You have my vote for this new rule!

I doubt they would have declared someone who robbed a liquor store at gunpoint the "confession" winner. Is it so much to ask that criminals and abusers not be declared "winners" of anything?

And I do know that. Certainly didn't at the time, or at least I couldn't really find a place for any empathy for him while it was all happening. There was something seriously wrong with that guy. We went to the same college, though we certainly didn't see each other ever. I met this girl at a party, we had some…

I know. Needless antagonistic behavior is so dumb. Why is it considered an integral part of the bonding rituals of certain groups? Like, why is it so impossible to get a handle on hazing in college organizations?

Yeah, I know enough about young male culture that this type of total ape-like dominance behavior is seen as acceptable or "pranks" or whatever. But they need to be aware that this behavior literally fits the legal elements of sexual battery in most states. The fact that they don't understand consent in these…

Wait, the "bad light the post could be seen in"? What the fuck GOOD light can a post about sexual battery be seen in? This piece of shit put his genitals in the mouth of an unconscious, non-consenting person, with the knowledge that he could not consent, with the assumption that he would not consent if he had the…

Honestly, I would have left the room to give her some privacy, had I not felt like someone might need to step up to her mom while she was unable to do so. It sucked to watch. I think it would suck to watch someone's breast get mauled like that with zero warning or request for permission anyway, but combined with the…

I have a friend who had a VERY hard time breast feeding (premie with a bad latch, Reglan-induced PPD and mastitis in both breasts at the same time within the first 4 weeks), and is now on about 50/50 breastmilk/bottle. She loved her actual lactation consultant. Unfortunately, her mother used to be a lactation…

Right? I'm kind of stuck on how goofy his name looks and sounds. I just can't take him seriously when he says he has the CBO report "right here," but refuses to refer to it, and says that Mitt Romney's budget/Medicare plan is "out there," yet can't seem to spit out anything coherent about why it's different from…

Oh, no doubt. NO DOUBT. I was up to my neck opposing a fetal personhood law in my state last year. I have been up, down and inside out about the myriad reasons why LEGAL life at conception is completely batshit bonkers. I don't care how anybody thinks of their pregnancy philosophically or religiously—but to insist…
