and Tao Lin wrote a whole book about it and also admitted it?

She's tweeting and writing a book, mostly.

He, I believe.

Why is the production on this so thin and flat, though? I JUST WANT TO LOVE THIS?

The She-Wee is pretty great and also a lot less like packing.

ugh, that's horrible. that's definitely the number one reason I won't be having biological kids — my body is fucked up enough via chronic illness, and I'd have to go off my medications for nine months. I feel lucky though that when I brought this up to my parents, my mom seemed to take it in stride; she doesn't seem…

in this hypothetical are dudes commonly victims of intimate partner violence to the extent women are in this real world? because that's the point I was making.

I think it's hard to tell because while a dude could flip out over the fadeout, what if he flips out even more dangerously at a no, you know?

Making rape jokes is empirically supporting rape culture. http://rajsivaraman.wordpress.com/2013/06/05/a-s…

I like that everyone is assuming that you think all table gamers are weirdos, as though you aren't talking about a group of weirdos you have seen with your own eyes.

sorry you feel like your ability to make jokes at work is being threatened! you're making fun of your boss! she was being told rape jokes by a dude she just met who was her superior at a new job! do you see how that is miles away more inappropriate in a work setting? I don't really find it hard to not make jokes that…

I mean, the real issue here is that this is her place of employment. There ARE limits as to what's appropriate to joke about in a professional environment.

This part really killed me — like she felt like she shouldn't have asked people to block, the most innocuous response she could have had.

I know it's not an uncommon transition for women to make — fastpitch softball is underhand but is a lot more powerful than the soft pitch softball throw.

Probably not in baseball, but there are plenty of scholarships for softball players. Women's baseball is not really here.

It's a Matrix reference — when you take the ~red pill~ of men's rights you apparently see what a women-run matriarchy is really oppressing men.

ho ho, internet memes are never rape jokes, I guess.

this is...really sad, man.

Isn't it on the contest to have not DQ'd her in the first place? It's not like they didn't know her birthday, and they recruited her.

yeah weird it's almost like freezing up and disassociating is a common trauma response or something. in both genders even! HOW STRANGE. http://www.joyfulheartfoundation.org/blog/talking-a…

also I'm pretty sure only one woman ended up completely disassociating during the assault but whatever, you clearly are well-versed…
