Well, the diaphragm doesn’t protect against STDs, so it’s less appealing than condoms for non-committed-relationship sex, and it’s more fiddly than pills or IUDs for we’re-ditching-the-condoms sex...

Ditto. If you have to file taxes, you’ve got a functional government. Also I don’t know what is a Postmates.

+1 for obscure Caligula reference

Maybe it depends on the state... I definitely knew someone who joined the force straight out of high school.

I’ve always thought Brendan Fraser is a tremendously good actor, but you’d never know it from the roles he gets. There are things I’ve seen him in where I’m like, this movie is garbage and I understand why I’m watching this on cable at 3am or some flight to god only knows where rather than in a theater, but he’s…

I’m pale with dark hair. One time I wore a blonde wig to a party, just for kicks, and I had entire conversations with close friends who didn’t recognize me. If you do it, be prepared.

Something I read the other day estimated that there are around 150000 survivors of school shootings in this country. We need to get some of those people into office.

Don’t let us stop you from recommending Regencys. I mean it. Don’t let us stop you.

Hmmm, yeah, I like the Barack one better this way. In the photos up top it kind of just looks like shitty photoshop. It’s much more interesting in higher res. I want to like the Michelle one better than I do - the proportions just seem off to me.

How are we defining kitten heel, here? If by kitten heel you mean low heel, you’re wrong. They look fine and are actually wearable for those of us with small feet who are practically en pointe in the towering monstrosities of the double-oh’s. If by kitten heels, you mean mini stilettos that are inexplicably an inch in…

Many guys are just trying to get a date and hopefully a girlfriend.

I also cannot deal with his books, but I’ve liked just about every film adaptation of his stuff that I’ve seen. I think he’s a better storyteller than he is a writer, if the distinction makes sense.

Y’know, I could have forgiven the cthulu hat if she had picked an outfit color that wasn’t so god awful terrible on her...

My understanding of gender confirmation surgeries is that they’re kind of delicate and complicated... If you don’t want to do one, it seems like it would be pretty easy to not learn how to do one. So this change is “solving” what problem, exactly? Or are we “protecting” the anesthesiologist (who is just doing their…

I’m in no way meaning to imply that none of this happens to people of other genders - the article is just about second wave feminism eating itself and ladies thinking other ladies are being wimpy delicate flowers for standing up for themselves. My comment focuses on women because that’s the context of the…

“Show me a smart, competent young professional woman who is utterly derailed by a verbal unwanted sexual advance or an inappropriate comment about her appearance, and I will show you a rare spotted owl.”

“I’ve drove through a lot of it. I’ve drove through it with my motorcycle and battle flag. I’ve always wanted to know, because I’m a white person, how to reach into the inner city without getting shot.”

The lollipops song is even more obscene than that line in the article suggests. Apparently, Gainsbourg didn’t believe that she was as innocent as her image suggested so he wrote this one to see if she’d actually sing it. She did. Gainsbourg was a louche creep, but I also heart him.

If your flirting makes someone uncomfortable enough that they report you to HR, you need to work on your social skills.
