If a person does not consent to a sex act, it is rape.

You know what pisses me off? That for oblivious white dudes like Graham, rape is a "definitional" or "intellectual" issue because they can never ever comprehend the fact that for women, rape is a visceral embodied issue and almost every day of our lives, we have to compute a million different ways to protect…

Dear Republican Women:

For every asshole apologist in this thread trying to justify why bringing your own goddamned food to a goddamned restaurant is ok, I feel the need to share my own personal slice of why that is is literally the Worst Idea Ever.

I don't think that couple were Autistic.

Stop trying to make Shazam happen. Shazam is not going to happen.

"Sorry they're only admitting family"

Especially because if you're polite, restaurants bend over backwards to help with allergies. My dad is allergic to onions. We've never once had a problem, even though onions are in virtually everything.

I'm absolutely confused by the "eat their own food" people. Why would you think that bringing your own food to a place that serves food be cool? If you want to eat your own food somewhere nice, have a picnic in the park. I think its much worse having people eat their own food in a restaurant then not permitting them…

This just in: Supreme Court Justices have opinions.

My husband and I were at a restaurant with a large menu when a normal 30 something couple comes in. They both sit on the same side of the booth and the woman starts reading the menu to her male companion. She reads the title, description then price for all of the appetizers. I assumed he was blind, couldn't read,…

Isn't something that primarily revolves around women's experiences doing that by default though, if the line is being drawn at not having a vagina? I mean, we can say "it's just talking about vaginas" but the stories involved clearly go a hell of a lot deeper than simply possessing a vagina. Besides, the conflation of…

Ugh, the comments on the linked article...

It sounds to me like they're replacing it with something else that's student-written and along the same lines. Schools aren't required to perform the same thing each year, and change can be good.

The play can only be performed exactly as is, with zero alterations, and no monologues may be added or removed — it's stipulated right up front in the script.

as someone who was arrested and plead guilty for stealing tampons and a bra from target as a homeless 18 year old I say fuck yes to this being a thing.

You have a much more optimistic view of humans than I do. Are you sure you've met any? Or more than a handful? Ever worked retail or a call center?

Anyway, I assure you many are that stupid, that ignorant and a few are even that arrogant.

Ugh. The approach of the Texas legislature seems to be when they lose on the merits, they just find ways to be dickish. Also, they empower or in this case, coerce, state and city employees to be dicks for them. They're trying really hard to do it for abortions (mostly succeeding) and gay marriage.

...uh, you do know I'm a Texan, right? You do know I went to school at UT and was a member of the capitol press corps? Oh, and I did my graduate work at another Texas university in government and political science? Uh huh. I thought not.

i want to call it right now, that is the dumbest thing i've ever heard.
