Wait, I thought it was women who lie about rape...

How could I not share this here?

Can't she be wrong on that and right on this?

I don't give Natalie Portman enough credit, I see. I love the point she's making about feminist characters—and that Dirty Dancing is her favorite movie, not something pretentious. You're alright, Natalie.

I'm an Athiest as well and whenever someone says "Merry Christmas" I say "thanks, you too" because I'm not a dick. I mean come on.

Americans tend to be terrible with anything not American.

It may very well be rape if she is legitimately scared of what will happen if she says no. At a bare minimum it's coercive, manipulative and unhealthy.

The issue isn't really about liking rough sex though. She said her husband demands sex every day so she gives it to him even when she doesn't want to have sex in order to keep him from getting angry.

She says he demanded sex every day and if she didn't give it to him, he'd be upset. So she'd give it to him even if she didn't feel like it, to avoid fights ("everything blows over more easily" if they have sex regularly). That's not rape but it's not a kink either. It's borderline abuse.

It's spelled "gesundheit".

Who cares about her singing anyway? She became famous because of the choreography and dancing—not because she is Celine Dion. She can lip sing the whole bleeping show if her dancing is back to where it used to be.

I think what he means is that there's no gravity that would create friction when you lie down on a surface. If you lie on the side of a space capsule and your SFWB starts thrusting, you won't lay still the same way you would if you were laying on your floor, couch, bed, whatever.

Does this biologist know how sex works? Do they know how space works? Friction exists in space. It's the gravity assist that is missing. I support the Three Dolphin arrangement for sexy times in space.

Oh man but the pull out method is all types of gross in zero g.

Some people think that since looking at you cry is making them feel bad, your intention is to hurt them, not express your sadness/fear/emotional state of upset. I think it's weird, personally. I don't start crying because I want to hurt someone, I'm crying because I'm hurt.

It was the only thing quoted, and really, shouldn't be that surprising. She can barely understand a life where a woman free to leave the family home, let alone to do so with a man who wasn't her husband. It is unimaginable for her. The horror of that quote isn't just what it says about her feelings towards the victim,…

For the sake of truthiness and otherwise telling it like it is — or in this case *was*:

Well, you can make a comment about your analysis of the Jez staff without being a dick about the people speaking up for inequality.

she is married to a man of color and has a child of color. i think she can personally identify with issues of race.

A skinny white girl speaking out to raise attention to an issue is different than dominating it. It's better that no one say anything? OK that seems productive.
