Get over yourself and stop manufacturing outrage. Nobody meant to insinuate that. They’re just saying that they had misgivings about somebody — contrary to the received wisdom — and were proven right. Absolutely nothing wrong with that statement. It does not remotely insinuate that this was Stoya’s fault.

I didn’t know Westboro Baptists read Jezebel

As an actress in mainstream porn; I’ve always gotten that bad vibe off of James Deen. Like he’d be the kind of scene partner to not understand that you need to stop while the camera isn’t rolling, that would get a sick thrill out of pushing you to say your safe word as if it’s a trophy. I’ve always said I’d refuse to…

If the intricacies of consent and the sexual proclivity spectrum are not conversations you’re used to having, than that response is usually the default. We’re just now challenging the old passed down myths about rape, what constitutes rape, and what a victim is “supposed” to look like. I had to explain to my guy…

There is literally no woman about whom you can say “she’ll certainly be believed.” And I would not in any way be surprised if his career continued.

Stop your porn bullshit. Regardless of how you feel about porn, it has nothing to do with that here, it’s the story of a girl raped by her ex, who everyone is gushing over.

“From what I understand, there are predatory men who stalk women in the BDSM community because it’s remarkably easy for them to abuse women there and get away with it scot free.”

Well, this’ll be extra hard for some of those “that guy can’t be a rapist, he doesn’t *need* to rape!” people to wrap their brains around.

Because consensual BDSM play has nothing to do with actual rape. Many sex-positive feminists engage in BDSM without it conflicting or cancelling out their feminist politics.

Lots of women have rape fantasies. Please remember that kink shaming is not okay, and neither acting in nor viewing videos simulating rape is an endorsement of actual rape.

I’m so sorry to read this. I’ve genuinely never had this happen to me, please don’t believe all men are like this.

I don’t think it’s “normal” or “decent” to try to get someone drunker than they might want to be without their knowledge. Not a “funny prank” to play on a potentially pregnant woman, or someone on medication, or the night’s designated driver...

But baby it’s less rapey outside.

The Rock just sounds so sweet and adorable.

My Mom is a Nurse and where should I start? Maybe with the story of how she was the only black Nursing student in her school in the back woods of West Virginia. That she was at the top of her class with all of her fellow students coming to her for help constantly, pissing off the faculty. They ended up failing her…

Fuck nursing. I mean, nurses are great. But much like teachers they are getting the shaft. My mom is an O.R. nurse. (And, frankly, a badass.) That profession ruined her body and has given her nothing in return. She’s in her 60s and only works part time these days (Thankfully, out of loyalty, not out of need. My dad…

Travel labor nurse here - we can have the best job or the worst job. All nurses think they have the hardest job and it’s because we all do. We all deal with difficult shit constantly. I enjoy being a nurse but there are plenty of days where I’m like fuck that, I want an office job. That’s the beauty of nursing though,…

A patient died while I was taking his vitals and doing his morning assessment. So it was like, “Good morning, Mr. Blah-Blah, I’m Nurse CatHerdingStudent and I’m just going to put this on your arm to measure your blood pressure and listen to your lungs and heart, okay?” He looks over at me while I put on the cuff,…

I’ve never been a nurse, but I did work as a cna many years ago. Some things I had the pleasure of experiencing:

I am a female physician. I did my residency in the 1990s and I remember the nurses as a godsend. We had to run the ER as residents when we were one year out of medical school. It was a busy urban ER and drug overdoses and end stage HIV (it was during the height of the epidemic and there was no great treatment) as well…
