Well, sluts only EVER talk about sex. Because that's all we know and we don't have brains!

That seems to be the NYT's usual M.O. when it comes to anything about cultural, fashion, or real estate "trends."

Nymphomania seems to suggest sex obsession to the exclusion of a natural rational state. Like sex addiction, but with a willingness to fuck everything that moves....

We're all who we are, though. Some of us love a lot of regular sex, and some of us could do without. It takes all kinds to make a world, and if I promise not to judge you, I'd really love the same courtesy - that's all.

But if your friends who move in together break up, doesn't it follow that it was better they were not married first?

I would call RAINN and/or check out their website, which will probably be able to put you in touch with local crisis centers. You could speak to them about the delicate needs of your project, and they likely have a spokesperson you can speak with first.

My first thought here is that the *reason* she dies really matters. Women get this kind of death in a lot of stories because of something that's symbolic but not materially dangerous to the status quo— something like sexual transgression in her personal life or as a sacrifice to balance the scales due to something a…

Not if you put, oh, an ounce of compassion and empathy into your thinking.

Being lied to IS an act of sexual violation when it concerns sex, sex partners, and your sexual behavior outside the relationship, actually. I'd not compare it to rape because ANYTHING compared to rape is pretty inaccurate - but it is indeed a violation.

Laugh, "Are you TWELVE? Oh my god, that is hilarious!" and then keep on with your conversation. I've found there are a lot of dudes who really feel it when you call them out on their "boyhood"

I keep asking myself if Robert Downey, Jr. could be any hotter. My conclusion is no.

Actually that's why I like it, because I want to look like a totally whited out weirdo hahaha. I think its high fashion. I have a pixie too with long bangs.

"Are you on your period or something?"

I tend to think of "sassy" as the less angry, more likeable little sister of "snarky" rather than a synonym for "strong". However, I do think it is generally gendered—I can't think of many straight men I would refer to as sassy, but it's hard to tell if that's just because I'm friends with very few straight men.

What a lovely specimen. Glad I used the dismiss button on his response to me, even though I second-guessed myself right after.

Don't you think it's kind of silly to assume that what you consider to be attractive is the only definition of the word? I generally don't find significantly overweight people to be attractive, and I know a sizable chunk of the population may not as well, but I'm not dense enough to think that means significantly…

Hi. Not every fat person eats Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

You don't expect people to be born with all the talents and skills of an adult. You don't say that because a kid doesn't have access to a calculus class in high school that he's incapable of learning it. People that have been oppressed, guess what, they haven't had the practice exercising those rights you've enjoyed…

I am fine with this. I figure I'm evening out the biomass given how much blood the damn mosquitoes suck out of me every year.
