I actually used to be a big erotica reader. My only problem with Harlequin books (and admittedly I haven't read these particular ones) is how incredibly the SAME they all are. And there's only like 2 or 3 pages in any of these books that are worth anything to me :-)

You're reading too much into it. I meant EXACTLY what I said, that straight men are never called sluts who were asking to be raped. Nothing more, nothing less.
While married = he works during the day, sees his kids and acts as a parent every night and every weekend
I've seen men get dismissed when they try to bring their own related issues into a feminist discussion. And that sucks; I wish people would stop doing that! But there are plenty of things feminism does for men. Jamie gave a lot of good examples. A couple more are the way gay (or effeminate) men are stigmatized more…
Custody arrangements aren't decided based on what's "fairest" to the parents. It's always based on what's in the best interests of the child. Most times that's shared custody, and that's the default in most states and often what parents agree to. But if the primary caregiver wants primary custody, the judge will look…
Nothing says "I'm a great dad who deserves custody" like saying you'd like to see your children starve to death in poverty.
I guess since so many MRAs are into evopsych, they think that they should be killing the cubs of other males so their own sperm survive or something.
While technically true, feminism has its hands full pretty much focusing on women's issues, and since admittedly most feminists are women, they experience more of the negatives that affect women more than negatives that affect men. That's why I do believe that a movement centered on men would be more effective at…
No, the Men's Rights Movement has no validity at all. Zero. You are mistaken there. The SPLC even denotes many of these MRA groups as actual hate groups. You are conflating medical, mental health, etc. issues concerning men with MRAs.
First off, sorry for the non-opaque ostomy bag. I never got opaque ones for some reason. But I had an ileostomy for about four years. One Halloween I decided to have fun with it because I was going to a party where I didn't know many people. I decided to literally paint a big target around my ostomy bag and tell…
Not even just health. Ability to control fertility is so crucially tied to women's ability to control their economic, social, and creative lives.
Wow. This story, and the comments, are just hitting me in all the feels. I've had Crohn's for almost 25 years and I've lived with a bag for a decade. When I was sick it was like I was sick for 15 years, constantly. Then I got the bag and healed up and it was a fucking miracle to not feel like death on a stick all the…
I have Crohn's (though it's in remission) and though I wouldn't have actively committed suicide (isn't "commit" a weird word for suicide?), but I WISHED for death. I was too tired to breathe. I lost 37 lbs. between one semester of university to the next. It was godawfully painful. I had diarrhea about 20-25 times a…
Huh, I know quite a few people with finger tattoos who are nice and sane and stable. WHOSE ANECDOTE WINS?
Because marriage is a legal contract which binds two people in various ways including property and finances. The question should be why do churches and religious people get to have a say in a legal contract?
HOMOPHOBE: n. An self-proclaimed heterosexual person who spends more time thinking about gay sex than 99% of the homosexuals.
White South African lecturing African-Americans about what is and isn't racist.
Only if you don't understand what racism is dummy, go read a sociology book explaining racism as a system of oppression because racism is not just "making fun of groups of people in Instagram".
White South Africans ARE a historically socially and economically deprived group. It's only recently they have had adequate representation in government, voting rights, increases in basic living conditions, slowly improving relations with the police . . . oh, wait.
