Horrible. I feel so terrible for this kid and his family. And it just makes me think, like, I wonder if the It Gets Better Project has significantly reduced gay teen suicide at all (its original main intent), because the simple phrase "it gets better" in combination with inspirational stories isn't always very helpful…

As much as sex-stigmatization sucks for making many women fearful of visiting a doctor for their valid medical condition, I feel like it's misleading to suggest that visiting a doctor will guarantee help to women who suffer from vulvar/vaginal pain. Visiting a doctor is hardly a cure for vulvodynia, nor is it even a…

I'm bootylicious too, but I barely ever wear thongs. I don't really have a reason, but I guess I'm just more comfortable in non-thong underwear, and I feel like thongs just look weird on me because of how big my ass is. I mean, it's different for everyone. I'm a HUGE fan of the Victoria's Secret cotton hiphuggers.…

False negatives or false positives on home pregnancy tests are pretty rare and tend to be due to user error. The tests can be really confusing. In classic 2-line pregnancy tests (1 line = not pregnant, 2 lines = pregnant) the first line appears basically immediately, but the second line takes a few minutes to show up.…

Thank you for your explanation/clarification. I was mainly being sarcastic in my original post and could infer as much for some of that stuff, but thank you for explaining some of the more confusing bits :)

Seriously.

I'm pretty sure that if legal action is being taken against someone who's been accused of sexual assault, the university pulls them out until a verdict is made.

If I feel his neck or shoulder blades, will I be able to feel the chip? Ew that's so creepy! And awesome! I need to do it now.

Not to be too tangential, but that's actually really articulate phrasing and renders a powerfully horrifying image in my head. That should be a proverb, yo. Not even being sarcastic.

This is ridiculous. Facebook was invented in 2004.

This part of the story seems fake to me, because it wouldn't be a mystery how she got to the shelter in NY if someone had dropped her off there. Almost any shelter will record how their animals got there (owner redemption, stray, etc.).

My cat has a chip, as does my dog back home, and I have no idea where they're implanted and would never notice. I thought it was in the ear?

I thought this said "Too Pretty For Housework" at first, which would have been problematic but slightly awesomer.

I didn't say that I failed to see the connection, but rather that I didn't think that that was the intent of the urinals' presence and that writing off the bar owner or whatever as being a sexist jerk doesn't seem appropriate here to me.

Agreed.

Meh, I don't think that's so snarky. Plus, the whole theme of this website is "Celebrity, Sex, Fashion." Jezebel is making a comment about a celebrity's fashion, which is pretty appropriate given that theme, and it wasn't horribly objectifying or whatever. It wasn't even necessarily insulting. Just kinda true and a…

I'm a feminist and am usually very sensitive to issues of misogyny, but this just doesn't set me off for some reason. I understand the discourse about the mouth-urinals being sexist and I don't entirely disagree, but these just...I don't know quite how to describe it. I just truly don't see the urinals as…

Yeah, one can. But that's super irrelevant, and I don't know how to move this to the thread for irrelevant comments. Help, starred commenters?

No! This is the internet, damn it.

Yeah, I agree with you completely. I just think that *maybe* it was done for the sake of clarity, since he's the one who the scandal was based around and whose name is more recognizable. I'm not trying to defend the title or anything, but I like to hope/think that it wasn't written that way for misogynistic reasons.
