YES. There was a period of time when I dressed very androgynously, thinking it would make me safer on the street. NOPE. The harassers I encountered just became more vicious, and also more physical.

I'm a white woman in her early 30s, and I recently had a first-time experience — a random dude came up to me in the bar and ran his hands through my hair. I've heard and read, so many times, that hair-touching is a frequent occurrence for women of color and thought I grasped why it was such an issue. But, when it…

Holy smokes. I almost forgot about Garth's shirts. Oh, Garth.

THE JUDDS. Man, the Judds. The Grand Duchesses of country music fashion. (The queen of course is Dolly.)

Demonstrating yet again that feminism is not compatible with capitalism.

"Is it ever acceptable for two people to sit on the same side with each other in a booth or similar table setting?"

Have you never been in the cantina/bar area of a restaurant, sir? WE BOTH NEED TO SEE THE TV, THE FUCKING GAME IS ON.

NO. This is the universe we did not need. We never needed to read fascist revisionist history like 300, nor see the hyper-fascist film version of the same, nor did the director of that movie need to be unleashed upon the world (and the DC Universe) like a swarm of Goebbels-engineered locusts.

Hitler is masturbating in…

"The consensus Batman masterpiece is an argument for vigilante fascism"

Aaaannnnd you forgot to add that Batman is responsible for making the creator of his "consensus masterpiece" — Frank "I Not-So-Secretly Love Fascism" Miller — into an A-list comics writer. That was the exact moment when our universe veered into the…

PAYDAY LENDING. The ultimate "prey on people when they're vulnerable" business model.

I'm in the same boat. I've watched literally thousands of horror movies over the years, most of them from back in the day when they were still scary (not just gory). I like horror games. But I just CANNOT HANDLE jump scares. Can't do it.

"the idea of marking email as "done" rather than "read" makes so much sense I frankly wonder how it took this long to get here."

Is that a feature of Inbox, or Google Apps? I could really use that.

Boom! Exactly.

Sorry, folks, but this is the good old Fake Geek Girl argument all over again, only with nice feministy language and added concern trolling. Every discussion I've seen on this topic — and I do mean every — is undeniably heteronormative and utterly retrograde in its language about women's motivations and how they exist…

I feel like this is an excellent opportunity for me to post one of my favorite things I have ever found on the Internet.

I'm pretty phobic about parasites, and one of the worst things I've ever experienced was in 9th grade — when I had to spend a full semester of history class sitting behind a girl with untreated lice. I've never been waterboarded, but I'm still 100% sure it's not as bad as watching helplessly as bugs climbed around on…

Never be ashamed to love Billy Idol.

I'm having a pretty hard time keeping it together over Sherlock the guinea pig. DOES HE SOLVE TINY CRIMES?!

All hail our new queen, Vulvatron! Long may she reign!

"From that day at the doctor's office to my twenties, ED was a kind of pop culture. I read the books, watched the Lifetime movies (one very good one starred Tracey Gold from Growing Pains), and while most carried a warning, I treated them all like a makeover episode of a daytime talk show and went nuts for The Big…
