Has there ever been someone you wanted to shake and shout "why can't you just love me?!" at?

As a woman who's been a woman for 30 years and knows some other women, your suggestion that women only spaces only exist because of sexual harassment is just wrong. I want to go to the ladies room with my friends not to avoid being brutally raped while trying to pee but to make a joke about all of my boyfriend's shit…

I think Gawker has great commenters but on that catcalling thread yesterday it was kind of amazing how many people I recognize as intelligent, reasonable guys are totally clueless about what it's like to be a woman. I still like them but it was kind of like, "Damn, a lot of you dudes have no idea."

Idk, I think it's very different when historically marginalized groups create spaces for themselves than when a dominant group does the same, because EVERYWHERE is the dominant group's space. Like, if this group was a bunch of white adventurers saying "no blacks allowed" we would all be throwing major shade. …

I agree with your position on this. I think the only issue that comes up, and it isn't necessarily this particular club's fault or problem in this case, is when there is no available equivalent for women to participate in an activity or club they'd like to have access to. So, as you say, I hope maybe this will spur on…

While that's a disappointment, it's their prerogative to set the rules for membership if they're a private organization. And I was glad that my women's only gym enjoyed the same prerogative. Yes, the reasons are different, but we have to be okay with private organizations doing things for whatever reasons they please…

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

My mom had lunch (when she was 7 months pregnant, high risk pregnancy too) with the woman my dad was cheating on her with. She asked her to please leave the situation and let her and my dad finish the pregnancy. My mom told her, if they split up after that, whatever. What's done is done.

as noble as that sounds, sorry, you don't live amongst animals that can do that. their looks ARE your business inasmuch as you have to look at them.

Very cool of you to speak with her. Kudos.

That's actually an awesome love story.

That's the kind of real, human love/relationship story I wish would become part of the popular narrative. Seriously.

I was with a young man with a micropenis right out of high school. He was one of my earliest sexual partners. He was a nice enough young man with an obsession for pornography, I think it held a special place for him because of his micro peen which drove a lot of anxiety and inadequacy feelings.

I agree with not body-shaming in general. However, I draw the line at enabling. I've seen the obese on scooters epidemic at Disney World, and have no wish to see that become the norm in my own country. Every time I hear of one of these types complaining that the shop aisle in the little corner shop isn't big enough to…

so by that logic cops the world over, before the advent of the taser, had no way to subdue crazy people? did they jsut let them go? or shoot them with a gun?

what's really scary is how well conditioned we are now to accept that as reasonable force. that's just the times we live in, right? cops gotta have armored vans, tanks, swat teams, assault files, armor that exceeds armor our own soldiers have for actual combat. totally normal.

Even if he had, the jerking off would've counted as assault on an officer and he would've regrettably committed suicide by repeatedly shooting himself from range while in police custody.

Oh come on, that's nonsense, you're exaggerating the race factor here... he might have survived if he were East Asian too.

I was thinking that the whole time. There's no way he'd have made it to the station to jerk off if he weren't a white kid.

Billy, I hate to nitpick, but I have a problem with the headline. The phrase "insane, masturbatory rampage" should be "insane masturbatory rampage." You shouldn't use a comma when the last adjective outranks its predecessor and is an integral part of the noun phrase. In this case, the rampage is not both insane…
