From what I understand, her family is part of the problem. :-(

No. People are mad because he was suggesting people were conflating the two, in the first place. And they aren’t.

If they were hetero that is the plot to about 30% of all historical romance novels.

Or “I’m gay but my homophobic parents are insisting that I need a wife and babies if I want full access to my trustfund”

Also, if it’s a boy, they’d be ideally matched to pair off with the Kardashian-West kids. Which would be fun just for the number of heads it would make explode.

I think for many the issue is that #metoo started as a platform for women to denounce assault, and while I think pretty much everyone accepts that what Ansari did is gross and inappropriate a lot of people would argue that it falls short of being assault, and therefore rather than being lumped in with the #metoo…

I’m not talking about coersion; I’m talking about moves that dudes think look sexy but are just lame. The way the article described Aziz’s moves themselves was specifically to humiliate him and make him seem awkward and immature. Dudes are often awkward and immature. That’s a large reason why they don’t know a lot…

I am a straight black male and I come to this website often to get more perspective, learn, etc on all things women and the problems they must deal with. I find the takes on this site helpful, more often than not.

Do you know who does stuff like this? Who ignores communication from their partner, going ahead with whatever they want to do sexually, while always making sure to stay on the legal side of things? PREDATORS. It is not the men who care deeply about making sure their partners want to be there and are comfortable but…

I hope this gets a lot of attention. I was the biggest Parks fan, and the crickets from Amy about CK, then this— it’s a steaming heap of disappointment.

It is so real — I was immediately talking about the situation, the coercion, consent etc. on a group text with three of my best friends because it struck such a chord. I’m hoping for more follow-up and discussions.

Bullshit.

We don’t care about your erection.

From Tiffany, I always get a little Cat Marnell speaking to me.

I think we’re all still processing the world’s first platonic shotgun wedding.

I didn’t read any of their written nonsense, but is she marrying her gay bestie because she’s preggers?

Is she platonically pregnant in that photograph?

Is it her fault if he’s clumsy and doesn’t watch where he steps? No one wants a graceless king anyway.
