As usual, the takeaway is that Jezebel badly needs a science writer, even if it's more profitable to politicize studies than to understand them.

My aunt is very much a free-spirit. She is also very much a fan of white wine. These two factors collided during her son's wedding, when she stripped down and went streaking back and forth across the massive picture windows of the wedding reception venue. Then she ran into the water to "cleanse the blessed union" and

Shit. So, I'm gonna have normal weight kids but I'll forget to put fresh water in their bowls about once a week and they'll come lick my wet feet when I'm getting out of the shower.

OMG I hate that. I literally study the subway floor if I don't have a book in front of me to avoid this exact thing. "OMG! She looked at me! Does she want my penis? Maybe she wants my penis. I should go over there and offer my penis, just to be sure."

Jane Austen knew what's up.

There was this guy today at the cafe, where we were the only two people in the room, and he kept on staring at me, while I was eating, doing homework, and using the phone. And as I was using Tinder, I saw his profile, it was quite racially charged and full of fetishization (think confederate flags, Yellow Fever,

"I am not now to learn,'' replied Mr. Collins, with a formal wave of the hand, "that it is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the man whom they secretly mean to accept, when he first applies for their favour; and that sometimes the refusal is repeated a second or even a third time. I am therefore by

MRA fortune cookie.

I'm assuming you meant "not honest" - and I agree! On a slightly related note, I was having a talk with a guy on OKC - who comes off as monogamous in his profile - and he says he's actually poly. He only lists himself as monogamous to draw in the ladies who would otherwise reject them and thinks that women who list

A prude in the streets, a freak in the tweets.

Monogamous, but would have a three-way with two very specific men in my life.

It seems so simple, doesn't it? Almost like saying "As a University, we care more about turning out decent human beings than winning football games." And yet, here we are.

About 20 years back I was talking to a friend who had gone to the local university, and I can't recall how it came up but he made some offhand comment about avoiding walking past a certain group of houses while moving around the campus. When pressed he explained the football players and their buds hung out there and

You know who has really great skin? Beck.

The fact that he told her he wanted her sexually the FIRST moment he saw her is all kinds of fucked up. It speaks volumes about the type of person he is and how he operates, which is manipulative. She hit the nail on the head when she identified that later. This whole piece really just got to me because I could

Yeah. The familial attraction thing is pretty revolting. There were parts of this interview where she started to describe in detail her sexual feelings and how she felt during the instances where they had sex and I was like, "NOPE. Nopenopenopenopenope."

Geez.

We had been on a date and a half (the half date was he had asked for a ride home from something else, and then asked if we could just go to my place to watch a movie. I was too spineless to say no). He left shortly after to go to school out of state, and called me to tell me he had "received revelation" that we were

Ugh. What's up with your sister?

If you are proposed to in private, try not to smile.
