It seriously sounds like she has a fearful, non-consenting sex life and I felt pity for her feeling the need to defend that.

she really must have the WORST sex if she's super convinced no one has sex with an equally willing partner.

And someone who requires convincing is not yet in a position to offer "affirmative" much less "enthusiastic" consent.

The truth is that, except in the first flush of infatuation, both partners are rarely equally excited. At any given moment, one person wants sex more passionately than the other.

Is an electric kettle stupidly specific? If not... I'm going to go with "microwave egg poacher". I use it every day, sometimes more.

Wait, you honestly think that not going from grey to black in 20 minutes means Tracy's deliberately keeping you down? She probably has no idea you commented. This is just the nature of the greys.

Yeah - in high school, my form of "cool girl" was being politically conservative, and being uber-feminine in my appearance. Boy, could I hang with those Libertarian Mansplainers! Puke. I used to only have a few girlfriends and more guy friends, and I thought that made me awesome.

Agreed. I think there's also probably a higher percentage of Cool Girls who are from smaller towns with more rigid gender constructs, who only know "one type" of girl because that's the only thing anyone is allowed to be in said town. I've always been a "guy's girl", but in my small town high school, that made me…

I thought that because I like football, video games, comics, and prefer whiskey to vodka I was different from the OTHER girls. I thought I could only get along with my select fellow Cool Girl friends as far as women went…

The awfulness of these people scamming elderly people is almost cancelled out be how adorable it is that the grandparents are so willing to help out their grandchildren with no (or very few) questions asked. Such a cliche grandparent move. "Here's $5, buy yourself an ice cream." "Here's $5,000, bail yourself out of…

The misogyny, while dumb, isn't even the worst part of these photos. The bros watching the games with baseball gloves on and shit are an affront to humanity as a whole.

I binged this show the day it came out, and i was so amazed by the clarity and the thoughtfulness of it. It knows where its politics are situated, but it's never preachy or didactic. All the main characters are terrible people except the trans character, which is a phenomenal change of pace. It's still a show about a…

this is good kinja

WOW, That got real, real fast. I think I'll stick to my go to Tinder pick up line;

You were right. That was not at all what I thought it was going to be.

If you guys keep doing this I might have to start reading Vice, and I really don't want to do that.
