@clevernamehere: And correlation does not equal causation.

Okay, I can understand NJ allowing that incest is legal between other relatives who are legal adults (cousins, siblings, niece/nephew with aunt/uncle if they're close in age—like if the Duggar's youngest child chose to date their oldest sibling's child when both were adults) but parent/child? The power imbalance makes…

I love her so much more now! :D

I'm not a particularly sensitive person, but that made me almost cry. At work. On the phone (while on hold). Damn you, Jezebel!

@AndPreciousLittleofThat: He should be called as a witness in court.

My goal in life: to show up to a WBC protest and stand there saying things that *they* find offensive until one of them hits, spits on, or otherwise commits assault. Then, I'm getting a restraining order against them (in addition to pressing charges) and showing up at every funeral they plan to protest so that they…

You know, if I lived in LA, I'd actually go for this show, if only because I'm a self-employed, married, happy, and well-dressed size 14 woman and willing to fuck my husband on camera until certain Marie Claire bloggers vomit all over themselves.

@vitajex: All I can think of:

My husband is a sweetie. Not only does he deal with me and my treatment-resistant depression with very few complaints, he's also taken over cooking and dish-washing duties due to said disorder. He doesn't bitch that I make more than him and am self-employed (go freelance photography!) and he even pitches in with the…

@Oracleofgomorrah: Subtle, but on the other hand, I totally <3 Fat Bastard wines, so he may just have gotten a great bottle of wine from you and thought "Aww, that's sweet!"

@Jenna Sauers: I get that same line (this is a low-pay/no-pay gig but you're getting awesome exposure!) as a fashion photog, and the "exposure" isn't worth the paper it (often isn't) printed on.

@Kitty Conner: clearly, they're just the fluffers to the Starfucker's porn star.

@Wishnick: Exactly. The cycle of violence doesn't discriminate based on gender; an abused partner is going to behave like an abused partner, regardless of gender.

@yumpopink: As someone who worked as a DV counsellor for a while, control is EXACTLY why most domestic violence occurs—one partner trying to dominate and control the other, regardless of physical size or gender. I've seen plenty of strong women come in after suffering from domestic violence at the hands of a puny,…

@caitinacube +@hidingincanada: You saw Dollhouse (aka character is sexually assaulted in the first few episodes—and presumably before that—because she can't consent to the various assignments she's sent on) right? Yes, the agency was run by a female character, but in the first six episodes (I couldn't stomach any more…

Question: if I see a flasher and I mace him (either with pepper spray or with my husband's metal mace), is it self defense/defensible in court?

#3 isn't even an original psychopath—he is just a guy who saw Death Proof one too many times. If you're going to try and kill strange women, at least be original about it, damn it!

@clarebrock: I have plans (and a jar with money in it to pay for it) to get that as a tattoo. So fucking important to remember it.

@angizzle: Sounds a lot like the pole-fitness class I attend, though I'm a total n00b and can't even hold myself up. My instructor is amazing though—she and I arrive thirty minutes before class and she supervises me as I sit on the floor and try to pull myself from sitting to standing without using my legs to build my…

Actually, I just started doing a dakini pole fitness class at my local studio (it's not a gym—they specialize in small classes in yoga, gyrotonic, and other forms of exercise plus offer reiki massage) and I love it.
