Evolutionary psychology is not basic sexism? Now that's news

Of course Jez skews young, and that's awesome! It's a big reason why I love it.

For those wondering what a choc-top is, it's this:

I would trade all other current sitcoms for Happy Endings to return.

I had sex with my rapist a few times after he did it and it was because apparently my denial is the strongest. But even before we got physical again, I was totally cool and casual and my texts were just like they'd always been to him because that was all I knew in communicating with the person I didn't want to be a…

omg, i am happy this is happening. Coach totally threw off the dynamic. There were just too many characters all of a sudden, too many plotlines and frankly, not enough Winston who is my fave character on the show. Lamorne Morris is amazing. Also, whatever happened to ferguson the cat? He seems to have disappeared?!

Seriously, the only time I want to hear the word female is in a nature documentary. For example, "After coitus the female of the species devours the her mate." That sounds just fine.

Yes! My old boss always used "female" or "females" when he was being insulting or condescending. Gross.

Totally agree with the idea that changing a noun to an adjective is about dehumanization. Plus every single person who says "female" is a dickbag without exception, which is helpful.

YES THIS YES GOD THIS DRIVES ME ABSOLUTELY INSANE (for the grammatical reasons as much as for the social/psychological ones).

Yes! I have been bothered by this for years, but samesies—I couldn't exactly articulate what it was that bugged me.

I cannot recall a single instance where a guy referred to women as "females" when they were not an insecure and awkward person.

Do you think John Legend and Chrissy Teigen would consider adopting me?

Kim Gordon hyperlink takes you to Heidi Montag article on US magazine.

I love this, too. I'm a small person, and an endurance athlete. My BMI is around 19, but it's hard work to maintain and I deny myself a lot of yummy stuff. I also hear endlessly (as recently as this morning) that "you must just have been born that way" or "you have a really high metabolism." Nope. Not even a little…

I find this to so so true. When my yoga mania was at its zenith and I was practicing upwards of 3 hours a day, I honest-t0-goodness stopped caring about my body's appearance. I was so overwhelmed with what it could DO that what it LOOKED LIKE felt irrelevant. Arm balances, handstands, advanced poses to work towards,…

I suspect many others will relate to this, I certainly do. I've never hiked 3,000 miles, but I have climbed mountains and been away from mirrors for weeks (not months). I've also run marathons while living my day to day life and seen how the physical changes, however small, affect how others perceive me. It's a…

Who's up for a girl's night out trip to go see this movie? There will be dinner, wine, and controlled screaming in the movie theater, followed up with dessert and coffee somewhere decadent.

Is that Joe Mangianello behind Chatum?
