That's the same excuse used every single time women have joined any male-dominated institution and faced sexual assault and harassment. "Well, what do you expect??? [Institution] is aggressive and male-only and women should just STAY OUT DUH!"

His nipples are really wideset too. How come I never noticed that before? Now I can't unsee it.

Yeah, Beauty and the Beast was freaking horrific. He kidnaps and starves her father, tries to starve her, screams at her and advances toward her throwing furniture around the room while she cowers terrified in a corner and begs him to stop, and next thing you know she's singing about how he's sweet and kind, and…

Anyone else immagining the look on her face when she turns her phone back on? "84 new messages? Wth?"

Right??? Do you ever look back and feel awed at how much power you had that you didn't even know about? I remember the time I finally snapped and slugged the asshole who'd been bullying/sexually harassing me. I got suspended and got in trouble with my parents, which was the thing is been so afraid of that I let…

...Also, I wrote this on my phone and didn't proofread, so sorry for the autocorrect Fails.

...and now I'll never hear it any other way.

Moo-oo-oo-oo-oose vagina!

IT'S REAL TO ME

"You're offending people for no good reason."

Everyone was laughing and cheering and singing and dancing. As the camera pans the audience during Obama's speech, you can see lots of people waving and making faces…

Men don't generally self-report as voting for emotional issues. My brother, for instance, insists he votes purely for economic reasons. He also has pictures on his facebook page comparing Obama to a monkey, asking why it's ok for black people to say the N-word but not white people, and insisting Obamacare will destroy…

Yeah, I mentally added, "...You know, not that I'd know or anything" after that incredibly detailed description of what kinds of masturbation, specifically, are homosexual.

I skipped straight to the comments because I had the same question.

I lost it when I got to the "sleepy dog" bit and was shaking/laughing by the "not a good face during sex" bit. Thanks for making my morning.

You magnificent jerk, I laughed. *sniffle*

Duuuuude. Lisa Cacho's "Social Death." Awesome book, or awesomest book?
