Also I was confused about how the boyfriend of the “stunning beauty” was “an uggo she dated for his personality”, did she send in the wrong picture?
Hers was the first concert I ever went to in the Titanic days. My friends and I woke up early and forced our moms to drive us to the ticketmaster (at the local video store!) to wait in line... We got 4th row tickets so we were the youngest in the section by a decade or so and when we were LOSING OUR MINDS screaming…
I agree with you. I don’t agree with this lawmaker and I’m not in favor of broad anti-porn laws. The issue isn’t that porn exists, it’s that (a) it reflects such toxic attitudes towards sex, women, etc. and (b) its cultural ubiquity and reach.
I disagree. I don’t think the intention here is to disparage women who enjoy porn- watching or producing or performing. It’s to bring attention to a very real issue around the trends that have been developing without any notice. Most mainstream porn objectifies women in various ways: hypersexualizing youth, promoting…
I’m with you 100%
Thank you
I am glad you posted this. The knee-jerk reaction to defend porn and call porn “healthy” even when the most popular porn is decidedly not, really baffles me. Why are people on feminist websites so eager to jump to the defense of porn when a lot of the porn people consume depicts heavy abuse of female porn performers?

Long time lurker but I just had to comment on this. I feel exactly the same as you. And it feels like a knife in the back is how mainstream feminism has accepted porn as “cool” and “expressive” and if you don’t like it you’re a “prude”. I think blow jobs are disgusting, I think anal sex is disgusting and I don’t care…
Internet porn has ruined men, as far as I’m concerned. It’s so deeply normalized degrading, violent sex strictly for the male gaze. Of course it all existed before, but early and frequent exposure has deeply damaged mens’ psyches and lessened their ability to see women as consensual partners deserving of their own…
Great piece. And may I recommend getting fat? I am completely invisible now. But nothing makes men angrier than a fat feminist who loves herself. Example number one - Lindy West. She rocks.
This is so good. And mirrors so much of what I feel. Hopeless and angry and just so fucking full of rage at the class of men that I don’t know what to do with myself.
In 2001, when I was about 14 years old, my male friends invented a game that went like this: one of them—and it was…
The luck of the draw! So many seem to think they’re somehow entitled to a spouse, and when they don’t find one it’s unfair. Sure, I think it’s great to stay open to meeting and dating people. But I believe it’s important to make peace with singlehood because there’s a very good chance I will never encounter someone I…
Your comment is the elephant in the parlor. The way I see it, we’re born alone, we die alone. Alone is the default mode. It seems like the general pop thinks that Coupled is the default, as though something is somehow wrong if you’re alone for long periods of your life.
Now playing
Right? And did you see this web extra? Gah!
I really thought the love of Barb was more just that people found it funny that she was this drab awkward character who then dies. Not that she was so great, but her situation was funny, and lent itself to jokes about how great she was. I doubt that many people actually LOVED Barb unironically
No! Beatles are everything
Dylan fans are the worst. WORST!
