No idea who Amy Schumer is. Is it significant that she looks like a sex doll? I find that disquieting...

I saw a creepy photo series of infants and toddlers wearing their mothers wedding dresses on my newsfeed yesterday, with comments of "how adorable!", and plans to gift these photos to their daughters one day at their weddings. Basically, the expectations for women are still, get married, have babies, and shut up. Its…

Friend of mine was getting birth control at planned parenthood, and a man followed his partner into the clinic, screaming about how she was fucking around behind his back. Reproductive control is like #1 in the abusers handbook. Especially common in areas of extreme poverty.

And here come various conservative politicians trying to make sure those women are forced to carry those pregnancies to term no matter what.

I know the idiotic stereotype is that women want to get pregnant and “trap” men, but forced motherhood is really underdiscussed, especially in ‘developed’ countries. Many abusive men have a complex, and impregnating their victim is a way to further disempower them.

I have been an advocate for victims of domestic violence for many years and have heard numerous versions of “I was going to leave, I was making a plan, and then I found out I was pregnant.” Having a child in common with an abuser creates a tie the victim cannot break for the next eighteen years. Ending the…

I don’t know that most of them are against using birth control, per se - they just want to be in control of it. They put the condom on, or don’t. They pull out, or don’t. They flush her pills, or don’t. And that’s how they enforce/impress upon their partners that they are in control “mentally/physically/emotionally.”

you know whats funny, regarding the transphobic comments I was thinking about this the other day. I was reading some random crime novel and they were quipping over a dead body. I realized it always bothered me in crime shows and books when the detectives make some god awful jokes over a dead body. It's just gross.

Daniel Day-Lewis and Julianne Moore in I Am My Own Grandpa.

That struck me, that it was an SVU detective who said that line. Like, WTF? I get that you want to be able to rebut the point he made with the "when was the last time you were asked if you wanted your car jacked" line but how fucking hard would it have been to give that line to someone else? Let an extra earn their…

I think the show is having a hard time balancing their longtime fans and newer ones. Some of the detectives say things that don't make sense for a detective to say because they're acting in as stand-ins for the dumber portions of the audience.

I really, really, really hope that if you are working in SVU, you fucking KNOW why a rape advocate is necessary. Jesus.

I've watched every season religiously up until this last one. Even after Stabler left they were doing ok and then they completely jumped the shark with all these pathetic ripoff plotlines.

Why won't the police shut down Hudson University???

My sister is currently traveling in Europe. Her travel buddies pranked her by telling her that the lights for the hostel (the shared community shower) were clap-on.

Who on earth wants pizza made by an Irish family in Indiana?

My brother's wedding was catered by food trucks. Mad pulled pork sammies and great tacos.

(no. I'm not.)

I'm waiting to swallow until marriage.

ok, so: elsewhere on the Gawker family of web logs, I asked, "hey, would you ever have pizza at your wedding?"
