For most of these guys, their fathers, brothers, and friends have spent their entire lives telling them that empathy toward women is what isn't okay. The only conditions under which they're comfortable allowing empathy toward women to be expressed is if they reassure each other it's a ruse. Evidence of successfully…

Tampons no, but...ladies, should we tell them about tight jeans with a bulky inseam?

His point stands, though. Not all equipment works the same way. Mine doesn't like the same things it liked at 15 or 25 or 30. Surely in other women there is just as much variation as there has been in me in my own lifetime.

She shouldn't have been arrested, but this still isn't ok.

Pools don't allow dropoffs, which is what you're suggesting here. There is a lifeguard, but kids are not allowed there without adult supervision. And pools charge a fee, unlike playgrounds.

My daughter's no-fail lullabye was Rilo Kiley's "A Better Daughter/Son." Arguably, darker than some actual lullabyes! Here it is in Veronica Mars fanvid form.

This strikes me as a fine part of a larger conversation, just one that readers of this site have engaged in longer, so are farther along the continuum. I would rather a teenage girl struggling with her weight hear this than not. I really don't think that any teenage girl who is very thin is going to feel devalued…

I think this is an important point, and it's unfortunate that men bring it up so infrequently rather than behaving as if there is nothing wrong with the catcalling itself. It is true that a man interceding on a woman's behalf with strangers even verbally risks violence. Admitting that is productive, but too few men do…

That did it. I'm done.

But if it's an email address, GM then has to choose whether or not to post it. If it's a totally unfounded and sensationalistic tip, they don't want to have to make that decision, nor do they want to lose any potential publicity they might get from it, so having it show up posted anonymously means they didn't CHOOSE…

I am...unsure why these people would find it confusing to imagine how one's fist might interact with objects like hair and kilts, neither of which is an orifice, or a cock, which can have things shoved up it but a fist isn't going to be one of those things. God forbid a romance novelist use the phrase "sounding…

The part of sex ed the pearl clutchers don't want kids to know about isn't the fact that the p goes in the v and then there are babies, which is what 15th century through pioneer examples would've shown them.

that bloated watery feeling can put a good amount of pressure on your g-spot

Y'all, she's only naked because that white armor is hot as balls.

Congress passed the Protect Act in 2003, which included giving federal government the ability to prosecute US citizens for sex crimes committed against children on foreign soil. The intent was to go after pedo sex tourists, who previously we had no way of charging. This says Oklahoma law, so I don't know if they're…

I think it's a paraphilia. I mean, if he'd cut out the middleman and just flashed her in public, we'd call it a paraphilia.

No way, she told him she came every time.

I found it interesting that the times when he approached and was successful, he made no notes about context or any conditions that might have contributed to the success, just left it blank. It's almost as if the point of the spreadsheet wasn't to explore ways to improve the situation!

Exactly. It's a rebuttal to silencing efforts that have been so culturally successful it requires a thought exercise to retrain yourself. Those who have been allowed to not gaf don't need this exercise. And IDGAF can be internal, but it becomes more interesting when you interrupt silencing efforts and announce you…

IDGAF in this context is about responding to those who assume what they think about you is more important to you than what you think about you, and assume you agree. IDGAF isn't pre-emptive, used like this. If no one ever uses what they think of you as an attack, no one will get the IDGAF what you think as a rebuttal.
