Ladies...why are we making it so hard for men to date/sex us? We complain about it all the time, how they're always hitting on us and trying to make some type of physical or emotional connection (both are equally ok), but it seems like male advances have just served to produce and reproduce a culture of 'no'.

Yeah, it's called a 'don't bother'. Plus, I kinda think I shouldn't have to resort to this when in a romantic relationship. Frequent and vigorous sex is part of the only contract I'll sign.

Babies and pugs: both equally ugly and overpopulated on this earth.

My gf did this for a while. Sold them on CL and met in a public place, where I surreptitiously loitered a few paces away in case of trouble. No trouble, but upwards of $100/pair. Men are idiots (as all the customers I witnessed were men).

I was both. I understood the point, but my partner and I both stood up and cheered for the violence done to Cersai. My partner, btw, has worked for over a decade with reproductive rights and sexual violence in West Africa. She still cheered - that's how horrible Cersai is, but we both felt a bit sheepish afterward!

Because she has the power to prevent it.

I'd just like to out myself as someone who, for some reason (a deep and burning HATE for Cersai, perhaps), was not at all bothered by last night's scene. And in the end, as per the director's assertion, did very much appear to be consensual.

I used to LOVE Jelly Bellys - now? BOYCOTT.

Not sure where you live, but I've never seen 'the mice exhibit' at a zoo.?

Honestly, I prefer that all people despite their gender just look fuckable and shut the fuck up. I'm in my mid twenties and if I have to have one more gdamn 'getting to know you' conversation before sex I'm gonna lose it. Seriously, no one gives a fuck where your grew up and what school(s) you went to and what your

Honestly, I find Rebecca - who is by all means a nice and great person, I imagine - to be wildly out of touch in terms of the very real issues that affect US lives. Jezebel has been relevant due to its ability to balance substantive issues with a few light-hearted fluff pieces to break it up a bit. But Rebecca seems

I support your right to place pressure on corporations (which are not people, as I'm 100% positive that Islam acknowledges, although I'm in no way a part of any religion or religious belief structure) when they engage in policy or practice that infringes upon your rights and liberties - so long as they don't infringe

The point is to remove companies from their privileged position of being beyond public critique and control. It's a messy business, but a necessary one, in my view.

I guess my point isn't mired in the particulars of each individual case, but with a normative basis for continual public pressure on all corporations to act ethically, regardless of the severity of their infractions. Results may vary, as do the conditions and premises of action.

I might argue that the liberal wing might be served well to have a well-supported radical-left to match the radical-right. Because it's the radical-right that has slowly shifted the center of politics and debate to a decidedly anti-liberal, anti-progressive and anti-democratic era.

I'm not so sure. The companies will never 'care', but they will care enough about their image and profits to perhaps be inclined to align their policies and practices to the ethical demands of their customer base.

Sure, but that doesn't really matter in this case. The publicity provided the opportunity for them to revise their contributions, and then to make a public statement of a more informed and ethical stance. There are a LOT of consequences of corporate actions that are either known or unknown, and it is our duty (IMO) to

With Chick-Fil-Et (or whatever) and Mozilla and now with Chilis - can we now begin to organize more fully around putting ethical pressures on corporations?

And the fact that you feel the need to insert some sense of competition between horrible experiences is part of the problem, in my view. And it weakens our argument and agenda when attempting to push pro-choice legislation through - to say nothing of the manner in which your response drives a wedge between yourself
