Unfortunately, I think I had the more typical college experience, which included helping my best friend deal with being raped at a party during our freshman year (she woke up naked next to a guy without any memory of how she got there). She didn't report it, and I know that was due to the fact that she'd had a few…

You really never encountered three women in your years at college who were black-out drunk? Because you don't need to be unconscious or falling over to be blacked out.

You can call your son's university and ask about what they're doing to educate the students about rape and sexual assault. And if you think their programs don't sound adequate, ask them to expand them.

I don't think we can judge the woman who sent in the letter that harshly. Friendships are give-and-take. It sounds like she's been trying to be there for her friend, but that she isn't getting anything back that makes the friendship fulfilling or worthwhile (as in, mutual support, kindness, fun times, etc). If she…

Are you me? I've been a vegetarian all my life (except a brief, questionable affair with seafood during my time living abroad) and the smell of beef or ham makes me feel sick. Chicken and turkey smells don't bother me, for some reason. I also would never mention this to anyone who eats/cooks meat, because I don't…

a bowl of mediocre pasta that literally never ends sounds like some Trunchbull shit

OMG THIS.

Ugh. Not surprising, but still UGH.

It's not every year, but a lifetime value amount. So the average Starbucks customer will spend $14K over their lifetime at Starbucks.

Pure gold.

You know what made me stop going to Starbucks? When I read that their average customer will spend $14,000 on Starbucks in their lifetime.

What's funny* is that these lawmakers who want to keep women from having access to legal abortions are most likely the same ones that are always railing against wasteful spending.

I'd rather have a bit of excess butter wash away when I do my dishes than constantly be throwing out plastic wrap, personally.

The phrase "sticking he butt in a man face" is the best thing to come out of this VMA performance, hands down.

Hell, maybe I'd nervously laugh — because, honestly, even if I wanted to tell him to get the fuck off of me, who knows what a dude who does something like that is capable of if you react negatively? — and then go home and take 15 hot showers.

Not rushing a sorority should not be "a huge burden to put on 19-year-old girls" if said 19-year-old women have the upstanding moral character to recognize that the family legacy they're clinging to is full of racist bullshit. If they stay, their presence announces their complicity in the discriminatory system, which…

I will never understand the point of fraternities and sororities. At its core, it's just auditioning for the privilege to pay to have friends.

THIS. The study also found that over half of the respondents who raped a non-partner first committed a rape between ages 15-19.

I agree — I wish they had asked "Have you ever raped someone?" as the last question, so we could see what percent of these rapists don't consider themselves rapists.

Aaaaaand I am officially never ever ever going to Papua New Guinea.
