“But that’s it. It doesn’t sound like a country song to me, she didn’t cut it at a studio in Tennessee, and it certainly wasn’t written by a group of Nashville songwriters.”

Well, we certainly disagree about that. Fundamentally. She is sharing she did have that awareness, and it is your job to be educated by it.

This is really what you’re going to do here? In response to this? I don’t see a reason not to believe it. I got a 2 dollar allowance once every few weeks, and know I saved some for crazy huge things I wanted like “a house” that were laughable.

Hey, not sure folks will care, but this is a really serious issue not only linked to lack of access to contraception, but also lack of control over one's sexual activity. I don't want to make broad generalizations about this here, but you should look up social science literature on inserting potatoes, and other…

Great, someone interested in women's health is capable of rape, sexual violence, and other horrifying acts to someone becoming her "sister"? I absolutely think this should "serve to take down Kazantsev" if she participated in anything like it— that would start a conversation, too. I can't imagine students having to…

Total Recall was far more impactful than I originally thought. Not at all surprised this comes from my state.

The lyrics of the song did not seem particularly feminist to me, but it is always surprising to hear a young woman with public influence distance herself from feminism—no matter how many times it happens. Sad.

I once had a guy tell me that because I didn't want to send him a "bathing suit picture" over the internet (mostly because it was 2005 and who had a bathing suit picture laying around?) I was obviously either "insecure" and "obese" OR a snob who thought I was too good to have to work at impressing people. Seriously—…

She's spot on. Also, female truckers have some amazing stories. I hope to complete a book length project based on fieldwork with them later in my career. This is great. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. I wrote a post about it today, because I was just so upset. http://jamieleeawesome.kinja.com/how-ufpd-is-re…

As a "woman at UF," one of my main problems is how our officials are narrating the event. Our UFPD chief Stump said it "wasn't about gender." Tobias, a spokesperson for the UFPD said that none of the women were sexually assaulted. I guess being punched, dragged off, and having your underwear torn off (see UFPD notes)…

this. a million times THIS.

yeah!!! you rock for thinking this is funny! no wonder all of your posts are my favorite.

I love the new version. I mean, I loved the more intense cover Antony and the Johnsons recorded more than the original, too.

your responses are hilarious. a+ post. thanks for making my day.

exactly what I was going to say. How despicable.

You're an idiot.

Oh no! they're all gone!!!!

You can get some great anatomical undies on Etsy.
