Human sexuality is a complicated and fucked up thing a lot of the time. I am glad that this comments thread has been mostly respectful. I find it often gets so prescriptive AND assumes that young women don’t have any sexual agency or right to sexual pleasure, which bugs the fuck out of me for a bunch of reasons.

Right. But does doing something short sighted and selfish in your early 20s mean you are a bad person? I don’t know. I did a lot of short sighted and selfish things in my early 20s that very well could have had an impact on someone’s life. These things exist on a spectrum, but even acknowledging that there are degrees…

I firmly believe age of consent laws are there for a reason, and do not mistake that I don’t think Bowie did the right thing. I don’t think any grown man should be sleeping with a girl that young, even if they are in their early 20s and blitzed out on cocaine. Like come on dude, you know she’s too young for you!

This is very well written. My feelings on this are complicated, but my instinct is that women should get to own their sexual history, whether its morally problematic or not. If Maddox says she’s okay with it, I believe her. If she had said she was raped, I also believe her.

Swift is absolutely right to call that shit out. Men try to take credit for women’s successes all the time. She might be annoying, but she’s not wrong.

best use of Blingee I have seen in a while. A+

I actually didn’t know about Bernie’s three marriages. LOL x 10000. Can you IMAGINE a lady candidate on Husband 3??? She gets enough shit for staying with the first one.

Baby Leo had some SERIOUS GAME.

Narcissistic personality disorder is a real bitch. Of COURSE he would be the one to feel victimized. That’s what people with NPD do - act like fucking abusive sociopaths and then act like the world is out to get them. Nauseating and textbook.

One of my besties had a baby a few years ago. Her pregnancy was CAPITAL A AWFUL. She wound up with cholestasis, a pregnancy-induced liver condition that meant she had to deliver early or her baby had a huge risk of being stillborn (!). She spent the last few months of her pregnancy itching uncontrollably and on…

oh hells yes. I had that Holiday Barbie and the very first one from 1988, which I should have kept in the box, but 7 year old me opened that shit and then she wound up naked in the bottom of a Naked Barbie pile just like the rest of them.

BOO HOO. Pathetic shitstain. I hope jail super sucks.

DON’T SAY ITS NAME OR IT WILL SHOW UP.

There is literally nothing attractive about him, aesthetically or otherwise. I do not understand his appeal in any way.

I believe the women in this case, want that to be 100% clear. The thing that’s most unsettling and makes this complicated is how much of what he says probably has some root in truth. It’s probably true that some of these performers who do this really brutal scenes DO regret their actions later, and DO feel later on…

Because teens are designed to become horny as hell after puberty? Because sex feels good? Because sex is (GASP!) super fun a lot of the time?

Exactly this. I also grew up with a mother with NPD who scrutinized and judged LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING THING I DID until I finally cut her out of my life 2 years ago.

HAHAHHAHAH OMG yes so much out of focus grains of sand and blurry landscapes. So many close ups of food. It really does look like a magazine shoot.

Oh no they did, but the advances in editing software has made this crazy unbearable. Like the people who are literally editing a cut of a video to show at a reception? That shit is BANANAS.

I am so fucking happy I got married in 2005 before any of this engagement photo Pinterest-a-palooza Facebook everything bullshit happened. We have no engagement pictures. We have no cheesball ultra manufactured wedding video. We have some great photos and a lot of wonderful memories.
