Crap like this is why ever since I was a teenager around (16) I have dealt with guys placing their hands on my waist and back, grabbing my arse, hugging me from behind, lifting me up, sniffing my fucking hair, grabbing my tits, hauling me into their laps when I walk past them, grinding up on me when I dance with my…

If you're such a "pick-up artist extraordinaire," why do you have to force people to touch you?

You've never been poor have you? Real poor, not the I can't afford Starbucks poor, but the I can't afford to buy new shoes for my child poor.

That's right boys...we've indocrinated the spiders! Beetles, you're next!

And information like this is why I can only shake my head at the men who use the animal kingdom as an example of how males are "naturally" dominant and say that we humans should take note.

Exactly this. Thanks for saying it.

I get what you're saying, but that is so much easier said than done. I'm a pretty assertive person in my "regular life." I don't fuck around with subtlety or "you know what you did" or "well, if you want to" or "no, it's okay..." or whatever. I (politely and kindly, usually) tell people what I need or want, and I…

I have a feeling responding to you won't end well, but I expect a lot of people feel this way (understandably). Where I live it's not illegal to defend yourself when you feel threatened as long as you don't use excessive force. Perhaps you are also aware that "getting in one's face" is usually a euphemism and there…

Oh god guys. DON'T FEED THE TROLL. Can we somehow keep him in the grey?

I used to work in a breast cancer clinic. One of our patients came in with stage 1 breast cancer, but denied surgery (which in conjunction with radiation and other medical treatments almost always CURES stage 1 breast cancer). This patient said she was going to try and cure her cancer holistically. She came back…

He is, apparently a brilliant one that has strayed a bit into some terrifying place. The New Yorker did a great piece on him recently

Honestly, I think the fact that he's a doctor makes him even worse than your average quack. I mean, people look at Jenny McCarthy and recognize that she has a degree from "Google University" (because that's what she proudly trumpets). But Oz is a certified medical practitioner, and people are really willing to give…

I have been frightened on more than one occasion when realizing that my doctor was playing The Dr. Oz show in the patient waiting room. Shudder.

My cat is a murder machine.

My life is a microcosm of this: I am the one with the bigger earning potential, my husband is the nurturer. I'm currently pregnant, but if he were to stay home with our kid (which I'm the first to admit, he'd be way WAY better at), he'd face shame and isolation from both men and women for that choice. There are no…

There is a pretty easy fix to this problem: We start binding girl's chests at the age of 7, so they don't develop. Then, when they are a bit older and selecting careers, we surgically implant breasts deemed the appropriate size for their chosen profession. Finance/law/office job? A small-medium C should fit…

evolutionary psychologist

Not only is it teaching a whole generation of men to be terrible in bed, but it's also teaching women that something is wrong with them if they don't enjoy it. So it's doubly bad. Add in the racist stereotypes and it's just a terrible way to learn anything about sex at all. It just reinforces bad habits and bad…

And women who expect them to be that way. Tragic all around.

It's a shame that shitty people still make really good movies. Though, you'd be hard pressed to find a talented artist of any medium who wasn't also a scoundrel, or afflicted by some kind of deep character flaw. Here's a fun game: Name the best sober author. My dad came up with Jane Austen.
