As someone who was abused by a prominent member of the BDSM community and deleted my social media accounts because I couldn’t handle seeing him praised as a “feminist”, I’m awed by Stoya’s bravery. I hope she gets all the support she deserves.

On the one hand, I didn’t even have Myspace until college. (We just chatted on AIM throughout that era.)

Note to self: shred, then BURN.

Pastel hair is really popular right now, I think it's a bit of a stretch to say it's referential of 90s era Gwen.

Nah. Bet his next job will be as a Republican political adviser on racial relations.

Long labia haver here. I have never not once felt uncomfortable with my crotchal area in yoga pants. Literally everyone in my yoga class is packing a spandex burger. Doesn't matter.

If his wife ever sues him for divorce and/or brings charges against him, I hope to hell this shit is admissible.

Two years ago I had the Paragard removed and got a Mirena and it is wonderful. No issues at all.…

Protecting/raping, all depends on how he’s feeling at the moment.

There’s nothing wrong with being a humanist, but saying you are in response to a question of whether you’re a feminist implies that humanism is an alternative belief system about equality of the sexes, when it has nothing to do with gender.

It disappears sexism (real sexism; not “misandry”) as an axis of oppression.

As a dude, this whole double standard is puzzling as hell.

I didn’t really understand what she added to the plot other than “fuck up Piper and Alex because we have to make them the worst couple on the show,” as great as I thought it was that she was in the show I was kinda disappointed with the outcome.

Did anyone else think her part on OITNB was kind of...blah? I was all jazzed about her and looking forward to her storyline and was disappointed.

This was a missed opportunity to talk about the problem of the gender binary. While it is FANTASTIC that people are finally more aware and accepting of transgender people, we’re still failing to recognize the problems inherent in imposing a rigid binary, instead of recognizing a spectrum where most people fall more…
