“The female bod” didn't exactly make this one happen by itself. I hope everyone comes out of this reasonably healthy and well. Feminism shouldn't mean we have to applaud medically risky choices.

That would be Jezebel managing editor Erin Gloria Ryan [hail]

I'd never thought of this before! No wonder I hate sidework so damn much.

i was at the mall with my gf, she was in some random other store like express or something and I was gonna meet her by the exit. She said 'ok I'm coming'

Good on you for doing this follow up, and on Cody for reaching out to give more details about the asexual community. As someone who considered themselves asexual for awhile but now doesn't really hold to any particular inclination, the comments on the first article were challenging for me to respond to but I felt a…

For really real though? Some kids really are gifted. Some kids really are more intelligent than the others. In the school board I grew up in, all kids get tested with the same test in public school regardless of demographic and gifted classes happen or don't regardless of parental pushing or how much they believe their…

wait so like

Huh? That's not how breakups work. You don't need his agreement to dump him.

I'm with Dan Savage. Common sense, really. It only turns into a big discussion when people project all kinds of crap on maintenance sex which is neither abusive nor non-consensual because that's not what we're talking about here. It's not about anyone being forced into sex. It's kinda like how you pretend to be more…

Clearly an intentional stylistic choice, one that works very well in my opinion. By the time you're out of high school, you should be able to accept that some of the "rules" you learned about writing in 8th grade are negotiable.

To fix my termite problem I burned my house to the ground.

This is some kind of metaphor for the GOP's attitude towards the poor, I'm 95% sure of it

Now I'm just imagining someone high on coke yelling "let's make some fucking sandwiches!"

In my small town the thing to do on New Years when you were a teen was to go to the skating rink and take part in a "Lock-In", where they lock the doors and you skate and "party" all night (which meant 1am).

My birthday is in late December, and the festivities for my 21st got a little out of hand. The end result of this was that I ended up with a black eye, and subsequently with a new drivers license picture featuring said black eye, since my license expired on my birthday, and the nice lady at the DMV wouldn't let me…

I feel asleep, sober, at 9PM, hugging an empty bag of Cheetos.

The worse thing I've done on New Year's Eve is eat an entire jar of spicy cheese dip (Tositos queso). I'm about to open a jar so it looks like that is my new (terrible) tradition.

Tried cocaine for the first (and last) time in a stranger's bedroom and ended up helping the caterer make a bunch of sandwiches. At a party I wasn't invited to.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was in my early twenties in the mid 80's, and was sporting a punk/alternative style. My sister-in-law gave me a floral, boxy, oversize cardigan sweater and hung over me while I opened it. I was completely prepared to fake mad love and delight over it, but before I could say anything, she said, "I just thought you…

Well, my worst gift ever was a doozy. I should start off by saying, I effing love Christmas. I go all out. If I were rich, I would probably buy everyone cars for Christmas because I absolutely love giving presents. I'm personally not very hard to buy for. I like all of the normal things: perfume, gift cards, a nice…
