No, that's awesome, not TMI! I think the whole thrusting=standard sex comes from a male-pleasure-centric view of sex that permeates our culture. It doesn't help that movies/porn usually show women climaxing after like 30 seconds of jackammering.

I don't have any questions, but Angel Haze is awesome!

I thought the Louis CK bit was hilarious, but also the opposite of true for me. If I'm happy, I'm cuddly; if I'm feeling unsatisfied I'm lying there grumpily with my arms crossed and my foot tapping.

Apologies, I misread!

I dunno, I think the majority of women know how their bodies work and how to have an orgasm. The issue is that it doesn't always happen (for a wide variety of reasons) during sex.

I think you're right, but then it begs the question of why thrusting is usually the main course of sex (so to speak) if most women don't get off easily that way.

I agree. And though I think individuals should be able to define pleasurable sex how ever they want, I do believe the idea that women generally don't need to have orgasms to be satisfied with sex is pretty unhealthy and damaging. It contributes to a sexual culture that treats female sexuality and sexual pleasure as…

I also wonder if the majority of fast fashion consumers are women. Thought I think the power of consumers is often overstated in an effort to avoid regulation, I do think we also need to take responsibility for what we're supporting with our money.

Hell, even their parents make fun of them sometimes. My friend was nicknamed Lardo by his parents as a baby.

I love Mac!

Veronica, Mac, and Wallace. Sure, with her genius brain and PI training it's a little weird to call Veronica an underdog, but they were all socially ostracized middle-class kids in a sea of filthy rich assholes.

This is the scariest comic I've ever read: The Enigma of Amigara Fault

Not me, but it would have been a cool coincidence!

Nope, do I sound familiar?

Annie Bananas, hands down! I can think of logical explanations for ghost stories, but something (apparently) real-life like that is downright terrifying.

To be fair the Slate article was about sea otters, and this looks like a river otter. I'm telling myself they're probably TOTALLY different.

I haven't had time to do more than skim any of these (and I can't access the second) but as far as I can tell they suffer from common EP fallacies: they ascribe speculative evolutionary causes to currently observed patterns, and they ignore potential social and cultural influences. Also, I'm a bit suspicious that the…

Well, one problem with that "theory" (it's actually a hypothesis in the scientific sense) is that there's little to no evidence to back it up.

From the above article: "There is virtually no sex difference in indirect aggression. By the time you get to adulthood, particularly in work situations, men use this too."

You know what else has been on the rise since the 1950s? Hamburger size. HAMBURGERS ARE MAKING WOMEN SAD, DOWN WITH HAMBURGERS!
