People have ALWAYS had sex, but my generation—the AIDS generation—literally risked our lives, if we weren't careful. Nothing cools a hookup like fear of death.

And then, they lay THIS on their kids. I FUCKING HATE RELIGION!

I came here to get an MRS, but all I got was an STD :/ (headline, if this were published when it was *apparently* written - c. 1962)

Anyone who thinks that weddings are a profit center are clearly assholes. Now, RENT parties, at least, are on the up and up.

Your response is welcome—thank you. I was raised in a bullying environment, and learned, the hard way, how to fight. I lived in near-constant fear, until I realized that I COULD fight back. But once I did realize that, and did, I also realized that I HATE fighting, even though I became very good at it. So,…

You are right, and I am sorry. I've been thinking about my response for a few hours now, but had no access to the internet. Thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt, by acknowledging that my response does come from a place of compassion, sympathy, and empathy.

The type of victimization your story addresses is…

And THAT is a clear example of rape culture. And it makes my head explode. NOBODY should be allowed to invade your space.

Do NOT blame yourself for this. However, don't just sit and let it happen, either. If this is at a bar, wave the bartender over and let him/her know what's happening—in no uncertain terms. If you're scared, or overly kind, you might (MIGHT) give the asshole ONE warning. Do not squirm or try to playfully let him…

I have always thought that parents should raise their girls like boys. My sisters, while not 'butch', are, pound for pound, the best fighters I've ever seen. It was probably because they were two sisters among four brothers, all of whom were scrappers. They are both now parents of confident, successful kids,…

"Do you think it was fair, what they got?..." No, Serena, I think they should have been JAILED AS ADULTS.
"...maybe she wasn't a virgin..." Because once you have consensual sex, then, you'd better be ready to be raped by anyone...ammirite?

In short, Serena, as a human being and life coach, you're a...pretty good tennis…

If their girls don't want enough sex, the dudes are doing it wrong. In my experience, the girls don't want more BAD sex.

Uh, overdosing someone else is still fucking illegal.

You want a sexually aggressive woman? Be a better lay. You afraid of a woman who wants to come too much? Up your game. If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch. There are men out here who'd welcome this. I'm doing just fine, thank you, but I ain't skeert.

fuckFuckFUCK these assholes. This shit makes me ANGRY. Every single one of these shitheads has demonstrated specifically that they do NOT understand rape, but are proponents of rape culture. While I firmly believe that language structures thought, even those who don't must admit that language structures our…

In my VERY limited experience of Dallas (close friends who live there), it does seem fairly progressive, but, of course, nowhere NEAR Austin's level. However, according the the electoral map from the 2012 election, all those cities went blue. Blueberries in the tomato soup, if you will.

Well, having come from the Bronx (far and away my favorite borough), I'm used to people stereotyping out of ignorance. But if stereotyping keeps the ignorant away from me, then it's a win. I have nothing to prove by where I live, but by how.

Last summer, I walked away from a popular TV series, and one of the best jobs I've ever had in NYC, to a life of little means in Austin Texas. I had no promise of work, but, as a single parent, the promise of time spent with my 9-year-old was too good to pass up, so I took it. Now, nearly 10 months later, I love my…

I just moved to Austin from NY. It's already gotten a little bluer (but Austin's pretty blue, as are Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, El Paso.

And this supports my argument that cosmetic surgery is making the human race uglier. People who would otherwise be too ugly to procreate are now making babies, because cosmetic surgery has made them attractive enough to fuck. But, as the article (and biology) points out, it doesn't affect their DNA, so they get ugly…

I was joking. I didn't mean to offend.
