Ugh. To say nothing of the idea that "being with" one woman who happened to be black would tell you anything about "black women" in general.

Maybe everyone has someone out there who will like them, but I don't think there's any guarantee that the feelings will be mutual.

Ugh, those cheating strawwomen are such bitches. Thank goodness men never mess around and always support their children.

I wish I were a special snowflake.

Heyyyyy, what's up? My cat told me to say hello.

Mammal behavior varies a lot. Bonobos have sex constantly as a way of reinforcing social relationships. Hyenas... you don't even want to think about hyenas.

That's nice dear, now why don't you go outside and poop in your sandbox and let the adults talk. *pats on head*

Way back when I was in school (Stanford '02) I remember some undergrad athletes living in the married student housing as (same-sex) domestic partners. I don't remember who they were or if they were on the basketball team or the football team, though I think it was the former. I don't think it was Jason Collins (or his…

You can judge the league's reaction a bit by whether anyone's willing to pick him up next year and what their reasons for that are.

You can always sniff out the best deal, right? Is that how it works?

Comments like these really get my Irish up.

It's not just a matter of anonymous internet attacks, although those are bad enough. (Women are threatened by rape more than most men in this society, and when men are threatened by rape it's usually by other men, so even that isn't symmetric.) It's also a matter of "doxing," i.e. publicly revealing private but…

Actually threatening violence against a specific individual is significantly worse than disrupting a meeting.

My understanding is that radical feminism attempts to combat patriarchy as the root of society's structure of power relations. The "radfem" moniker seems to have been adopted by a group of women advocating female separatism if not supremacy. They also tend to see trans-folk as gender traitors (hence TERF, for…

PLoS ONE is an open-access online journal published by the nonprofit Public Library of Science. Their pay-to-publish model has some real advantages over the alternative pay-to-subscribe model of many other journals (many of which are in fact published by for-profit companies). For one thing, it allows us taxpayers the…

Honestly, I sort of see how the video was supposed to be funny, but it doesn't really strike me that way. For one thing, the guys actually are very good looking, so their supposedly excessive self-regard falls flat; for another, plenty of men do experience a lot of appearance anxiety, even though it isn't enforced by…

Who said anything about it being feminism's fault? (I'm not sure how it's patriarchy's fault either though.) But men's excessive self-image isn't the real problem, and it's not even accurate for a lot of men.

Well, I doubt I'd get to be intimate with you whether or not I used a condom, but the idea of not using a condom when having sex of any sort on a one-night-stand is terrifying. Ok, maybe I won't slip a condom over each of my fingers. And it's not that I don't respect you, SeaAnemone, it's that I do.

I hope this post was intended to be sarcastic. Of course Rubin was alluding to the Gosnell story. What would being a "local crime story" have to do with waiting for more information? It's a tasteless and rather passive-aggressive tweet, which makes it perfectly Rubinesque.
