Seriously. I buy clothes that make me happy. Not because I think I look attractive to men (which, in my line of work, is definitely not what I’m going for) but because I feel happy in them - they fit right, they’re comfortable, they make me feel confident, etc. Some men think the world revolves around their penises…

I’ve always worn make-up (foundation, eye shadow mascara) to work, but about six months ago, I decided to act like a grown-up and get some new make-up, including eyeliner. The first day I wore eyeliner to work, my male coworker said, “Oh wow, you’re actually wearing make-up today.” Uh...

Its also a confusing message because, if you think about it, America’s standard of beauty is “thin.” Our models are thin. Our actresses are thin. Our more famous porn stars are thin. Of course there are exceptions to each category, but that’s the norm. Yet it’s the curvy girls who are “too distracting.” It’s like…

Depends on where the interview is. Like I said in another comment, I work in a professional office environment where cleavage, short skirts, and bare shoulders are perfectly acceptable. If she’s applying for jobs in fashion, obviously a crop top and high-waisted bottoms would be acceptable because that’s what’s…

This “dress codes prepare you for work” argument is bullshit. I work in a fairly large city with great shopping in an office environment, and there are plenty of straps, cleavage, and short shorts, and because it’s all designer fashion, it’s perfectly acceptable. Also, when I worked retail, we were actually required…

Her parents, from what I read, were real religious and anti-abortion types and they adopted, I believe, 3 Black children from Africa to support their “abortion is an option” stance. Then, at least I heard, they abused all the children and shipped at least 2 of them off to group homes, which is why Rachel moved for…

I don’t think it depends when talking about enthusiastic consent. Even if the person being pushed doesn’t fear for their safety, having to talk someone into having sex certainly does not rise to the level of enthusiastic consent.

I think you did the right thing. As far as “keeping the mood,” I don’t know what you could have done in either of those situations. Relationships don’t die because of one bad sexual encounter; I would re-examine what else was going on and whether something else contributed to the end of the relationship.

This is the problem right here. Consent is not rocket science.

I think everyone is misunderstanding enthusiastic consent. In my experience, when they say “enthusiastic consent” they mean a solid affirmative - “yes,” “let’s do this,” *takes off pants and opens legs*. I think the term “enthusiastic consent” is being used to negate coerced sex - the kind where one person doesn’t…

LOL at the men who think that their penises are so large and mighty to permanently change a woman’s body.

But MRA reasoning leads to stuff like this - ideas like “women just report sexual harassment to gain money/attention” inspire an anger against sexual harassment victims that is simply not justified by statistics or research. I’m sure most MRA’s don’t condone rape either, but saying things like “she was asking for it…

One of his “Interests” is “Chloroform.” Sounds like a real charmer.

I don’t know how I feel about all of it. Dolezal sounds like a pathological liar. I work with one, and this person makes up little stories all the time - I don’t think it’s necessarily just for attention. I’m hesitant to call it a mental disorder, but it does seem extremely compulsive in terms of my coworker.

I get where you’re coming from, but I also understand wanting to have the experience of pregnancy and childbirth, which is what the author says is going on in her case. Everyone has the right to make their family the way they want. The only people who are, in my opinion, somehow obligated to adopt children are the…

Yeah I don’t know about that. I know a lot of women who got pregnant/had too tske Plan B because “don’t worry I put the condom on” and “my doctors told me I’m sterile” and “I’m allergic to comdoms but it we do it standing up you can’t get pregnant.” Some guys are assholes. Some just didn’t get adequate sex ed. Lots of…

Well, it started when she went “undercover” as a waitress at the Playboy Club and wrote about all the awful things she saw and experienced. Gloria is a badass.

It’s such a shame. There are so many handsome Asian American actors out there. I am really enjoying Fresh Off The Boat. Cute sitcom dad is cute :-)

Yeah, I tend to think if you’re over the age of 17 (and desperate and there’s nowhere else), sex in a kid’s room is not okay. I can give a pass to horny teens but adults should have some manners.

I might be Captain Obvious here, but have you tried free feeding? My cats might just be wierdos but they have food available all the time and never wake me up at night - they actually sleep with me!
