"how completely fucked is it that a woman would think forced sodomization is 'jerky' rather than 'rapey?'"

damn! wish i'd have seen this ... i would have put on my sparkly cape!

if passengers make their way to the "passengers of size" policy section under "customer service" on the southwest website, they will see that passengers are expected to fit between the armrests, the distance of which measures 17 inches ... but who the hell goes to the customer service site for a flight they are

wow ... a captain taking personal responsibility for a passenger's comfort and dignity, no matter her size ... what a great lesson for 16-year-old you

if you read the online policy, you will note that, while "customers of size" are asked to purchase an additional seat at the time of booking, if the flight turns out to not be overbooked (meaning extra seats are available), then the price of the second seat will be refunded ... here, there was obviously a seat

as a vegetarian badass, i assure you that it can be done ... you just put lots of hot sauce on your food

yes, but only to steal their recipe for go-go juice

rick santorum is gonna want to take our pictures, for sure

just getting up and running ... will get back to you ... but it's gonna be awesome: instead of bumper stickers, we'll have tattoos

admittedly, the logic of hilton als' logic escapes me, but does this mean we can stop bitching about all-male boardrooms if some of the execs have manboobs? and all-white boardrooms if there are execs who are into the blues?

i'm starting a group called "s.w.a.c.k." ... sane women against christian kooks ... when we go to jcp to rant about their taking sides in the culture war by depicting upright-looking people, and they blow us off with a "thank you", we won't throw a snit

i am not a pink girl ... never have been ... but i have a sudden urge to douse myself in glitter and slow dance with a bff

ok ... awesome school ... and it's students will benefit from these lessons of tolerance and understanding for their whole lives

to quote myself below:

i agree that the headline doesn't match the story, but the incidence of reported rapes in missoula IS much higher than average ... compare their stats to billings, a larger city with a much larger college student population:

she wasn't arrested for tanning in the same room as her child, but for allegedly giving her daughter a turn in the tanning bed ... similarly, people do not get arrested for smoking in the same room as their children, but can be arrested for giving a child a cigarette

men are more than welcome to vote with their va jay jay's, too ... and the great thing about gynocentric voting is that improving the lot of women improves the lot of everyone in their lives, regardless of their gender

oh my, @lonetruth, i cannot reply to your comment because jezebel thinks it's "too short" ... but i'm glad you've found the thrust of my argument stimulating

about the word "slut", i think it has always been about women's power ... it's an attempt to denigrate active female sexuality by those who resent that we are the gatekeepers of our sex ... so i say "let's take it back ladies" ... let's own the fact that we are not just passive sperm receptacles, and we aren't going

if the republicans hadn't launched a full-blown assault on women, taking away even those few rights we'd managed to establish, i could have seen grenell as a pathetic figure ... he could have just been a gay man so desperate to make it to the top of a straight man's world that he was willing to claw his way over
