I realize people can and do have their problems with Hillary, but this is why I love her and always will: she is well aware that her political fortunes would be better if she would just shut up about women wanting and needing things, *and she won’t do it.*

It seems like all arguments in defense of sex work use the logic of labor — that it’s a perfect right to perform work in exchange for money, and that sex shouldn’t be treated any differently. The thing is, we don’t really believe that, and the difference shows up viscerally when we talk about children. If you pay your…

I’m just trying to figure out how Heidi Fleiss replicated “giant vagina buried in the sand that devours men whole.”

Unpopular opinion time! This story shows up, in graphic detail, the failure of the “only consent matters” sexual ethic.

Unfortunately, abusers are very, very good at creating an atmosphere of “it’s you and me against the world, baby! They don’t understand our special love!” Until they’re ready to deal emotionally with the truth of what’s happening, abuse victims very often respond to friends and family who try to intervene by cutting…

It is the opposite of wrong.

HAHAHA, tho, have you factored in that Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t as fuckable as I think she should be? Because that’s super relevant to a story about how men systematically devalue things that center women’s experiences over—

Right, but what makes you an asshole in this story that you’re telling apparently under the impression that you don’t sound like a huge asshole in it is:

Please don’t hang this on Beyonce. She wrote an entire album entirely about the relationship between her and (presumably) her cheating husband. Not a single song is about the Other Woman — narratively, it’s clear that the Beyonce of Lemonade doesn’t give a good goddamn who the Other Woman (Women?) was, and her concern…

And honestly, what I don’t get is — it really *isn’t* an identical story? Abrams plays with a lot of the same framework and plot beats and whatnot, but in terms of its core themes and its emotional moments, they are entirely new. Fin, the kid who’s known nothing but war and yet can’t bear the reality of it, possessed…

Well, c’mon. She’s not much to write home about, but...it’s a really fun song.

The sad cry of a Sanders supporter who feels *negatively judged.* The very worst thing you can do to a person!!! I imagine. I mean, I support Clinton, so god knows it’s never fucking happened to me before. But it sounds just dreadful.

I feel like there were definitely people here who did not get this joke.

See, I would love it if he said that instead! “Eventually you get to a certain age and you’re just like, fuck it, who wants some pie?”

Yeah, fair enough, his IMDB page does seem to stop a few years back. But he was 73 at the time of his most recent screen role, so Clooney’s still got a ways to go, I’m saying.

Dogs are omnivores, and just as capable as humans of being healthy on a vegetarian diet.

I don’t really understand his comment. Does he live in some kind of parallel universe where Robert Redford and Jack Nicholson don’t exist? Did I not see a bunch of shitty trailers for yet another shitty Robert DeNiro “comedy” not so long ago? He’s George Clooney. He can keep working in front of the camera as long as…

Seriously. You are 68 years old and *motherfucking Bernadette Peters.* Eat the whole granola bar. Jesus.

THANK you. It is just as true — and arguably *more* true — that it’s the predominantly white congregations that are “self-segregating.” This whole line of argument is infused with the assumption that the *rational* thing to do would be for the black folks to come back to the real church, which is the white folks’…

If my girl and I get married, I’m sure it will be through our urban, liberal county and nobody will care, but this kind of thing makes me want to get in the car and drive a hundred miles out into fucking pig and tobacco country, find the pissiest, stick-up-their ass bigot in the state, and get my marriage license from…
