Yeah, doesn't Millennial now cover a 25-year period (1980-2005)? That's too broad of a category.

Not that I'm aware of.

Yeah, I mean, this is your basic "gays move to regions that are more friendly to them" kinda thing. But different areas sustain different sorts of gay subcultures. San Francisco is really into butch/femme relationships, Boston's more about everyone being androgynous, etc. My city's more about androgyny, especially of

Oh, hell, I know one dyke who's a total pillow princess who dislikes eating pussy and being eaten out so much that if you want either of those regularly, that's a dealbreaker. But she loooooves suck her butch's cock. So yeah, blowjobs are still totally a thing. But I don't think there's the assumption that bjs will be

Usually not. Pillow princesses are rare, and tend to congregate in certain locales (though, there are some stone butches who are more than happy to accommodate them). What is more common is having women insist on really slow, gentle lovemaking where they very gently trace circles around your clit and refuse to do

I did this for awhile, and found no shortage of men who were really into eating me out and then leaving. (There are not, however, many women in my region who are into this; I suspect all the stone butches move to San Francisco the second they can.) The difficulty was not in finding a man willing to take up this

Nah, feminism's just significantly more full of awful than other movements. The lgbt movement didn't start today by treating my existence like it was rhetorical tool that exists just to justify the existence of a homophobic movement. But damn if a straight feminist didn't pull that shit today.

Do yoga pants count as sweatpants here? Because men seem to find women in yoga pants extraordinarily hot, which would make sweatpants the glue that holds many relationships together.

No. I'm not interested in your loaded questions, or in being some strawman you argue against. I'm one of the commenters most likely to point out homophobia on Jezebel and you think it's cool to rhetorically accuse me of homophobia? Wtf? I need less straight lady bullshit in feminism, not more.

Ok but like the insistence on beating up on anyone who doesn't use the label does actually cause a lot of division. It's stupid to think that social movements are incapable of making poor strategic decisions that result in fracturing or divisiveness that hinders their ability to actually change the world. Just because

It's not just the heebie-jeebies. This would make it much, much harder for any kid who's being abused to get help.

I don't feel like there get to be gatekeepers for who is allowed to say they feel queer.

Still seems like it would get wet. I get smoking a bowl and then hopping in the shower. But smoking it while showering? I can't even manage to keep my body scrubs dry. Is this only for when you have a giant shower?

Then you complete one of the other options, same as all the non-survivors. No one is making survivors go to this thing, it's just there if they want it.

"Feminism just means you're for equality!" / "Um, no, intersectionality is a thing, also why do you want a social movement to merely be a bumper sticker?" / "Oooooo, no, sorry, we didn't mean to target YOU, you're not who we're upset we're not getting. When we said 'why don't women want to call themselves feminists',

Not once has someone said this to me, and then it turned out they had an intersectional feminism. It's always this dead give-away that they have NO awareness of what that means, and are just generally so lacking in self-awareness about their own feminism that they don't realize how exceptionally exclusive it is.

I'm rather stunned that you think both that tacking on an "intersectionality is good" at the end, and forcibly labeling people, is somehow progress. At this rate, you'll be as progressive as second-wavers in no time.

The great thing about Facebook is that, unlike Twitter, it does actually let you post more than 140 characters at a time.

Then why, exactly, did she just say it wasn't any more complicated? You can't have a more nuanced conversation if one side is insisting that the issue is merely that people haven't seen their bumper sticker before.

If only all the women who don't have Women's Studies degrees and say they aren't feminists because they "like being feminine" or "don't believe in female supremacy" got such benefit of the doubt.
