I loved how upset she was that the Salem witches had to travel south without a charcuterie platter or a bidet.

That's a good analogy. People telling women "don't get raped" is kind of like saying, "don't get killed by a drunk driver" as opposed to actually just telling people not to drink and drive. Wouldn't that be weird? If no one said anything about drunk drivers but we had posters all over the place saying things like…
It is telling, though, isn't it, that while there are lots and lots of "don't drink and drive" campaigns, they aren't actually accompanied by "don't be a victim: being out at night on the weekends puts you at far greater risk of being hit by a drunk driver" campaigns.
Yeah but even then, I'm not a fan of this ad. I think one of the biggest problems contributing to rape is the gap between what men think rape is and what rape actually is. Because we've kind of made rape out to be "strangers waiting in bushes for unsuspecting women" whereas that doesn't really work like that. Which is…
Making those "avoid a potentially dangerous situation" more gender neutral would be a nice change. Alcohol lowers inhibitions and reduces clarity of thought, which is a risk for all kinds of things. If you want to go that route, it should be "Don't get wasted alone because you could get mugged/hit by a car/fall in a…
It's really unfortunate, and there are actually several studies that discuss the double standards of alcohol use perpetuated in the media. Many, many PSAs often remind women of the dangers of being very intoxicated (e.g., getting raped or being embarrassed), but for ads aimed at men they often showcase the dangers of…
Everyone knows the only thing to wear when eating your night cheese is a slanket full of your own farts.
I know I'm old, because my first thought is "they better clean that up."
Can you imagine the conversations she'd have with friends/family/coworkers: "So, I finally met this guy and he's great, but there's this thing..."
Anyone else have a weird crush on Danny Huston? Just me? Okay, just checking.
I actually laughed at "Fratshionistau", so good job there, Broseidon, Lord of the Brocean, future ruler of Mount Brolympus.
My husband got angry at me for "passive-aggressively washing the dishes at him" and we had a fight about it.
This may be obvious, but I think whether you 'fight' or not directly comes from how you grew up. My parents never yelled or got visibly angry at each other (at least in front of us), but they'd definitely disagree and occasionally have to disappear for awhile to talk things out. My first boyfriend, on the other hand,…
I never fight with my boyfriend. Ever. My relationship before him, that's all we did and Good God, does it age you! And it was stressful and I was tense. But my boyfriend is very chill, so laid back he's practically horizontal, and there's only a few things that REALLY REALLY bother him.
Excuse me while I go marathon Scandal. I have to watch it now.
No worries Tom, I finished it for you.
