I'm assuming that this is a really easy troll, but on the off chance it isn't: hairy-legged, man-hating feminists have become the constructed image of feminism because feminism threatens those in power (white males) and so the image is made popular by the elite to deter women from wanting equal rights and, yes, those…

Maybe act shocked every time she calls you by your first name? If you provide a positive reaction (giving a reaction instead of withholding one) every time she calls you something other than "mom", she'll lose interest fairly quickly because of the consistency. By "quickly" I mean you'll have to do it about a million…

Actually, your daughter is probably perceiving your "annoyed" behavior as simply an unpredictable and interesting reaction. At her developmental stage, your reaction constitutes a variable-ratio schedule: you react interestingly (annoyed) after an unpredictable/varied number of responses (your daughter calling you by…

I appreciate this comment. :)

My mom tells me that it's okay if the kids eat stuff from off the floor because it "builds immunities" - I completely believe her.

Well, what I found out from a midwife is that it's totally possible to NOT tear your vadge when giving birth and then your vagina goes back to how it was before the pregnancy. I trusted her because she was an old lady and old ladies seem to know shit. Whatever, I'm gonna get high now.

Whoops, replied to the wrong thread.

Yeah, Tosh's point in that particular joke makes rape seem not terrible, which is dead wrong. Rape has serious psychological consequences and making it seem innocuous is something that allows rape to be more permissible in our culture.

Finally, an article that lays it out: Daniel Tosh singling out a woman and saying she should get raped was really, really not OK, but "rape jokes" can be hilarious.

No, she responded inappropriately to something grossly offensive. No one should be threatened with rape, and that obviously crossed a line, and Tosh should apologize profusely. The flip side of the coin is that she paid to go see someone who makes a living telling vile jokes and dumping all over hecklers and she got…

I used to work at a comedy club, and it wasn't uncommon for someone to get sloshed and yell at a comedian. They were the dick, not the comedian, and so those customers got bounced and did not get their tickets refunded. If you go to see a comedian known for his rape jokes and you don't like rape jokes, don't go to his…

I was also struck by the heterosexist wording of the Jennifer Lopez bit. It just seemed disdainful in some way. I have two moms and I don't understand why the bit needed to be made in to a joke. Doug Barry's articles are starting to wear on me...

No, I would hope that women are not pushed in to abortions. But knowing your baby is going to have Down Syndrome and keeping the kid is a choice for a more difficult life in some ways. A lot of work goes in to raising kids, and a lot more work goes in to raising kids with special needs - special teachers, medical…

When I get pregnant, I definitely want to get screened to see if the fetus has Down Syndrome, because I will abort. I'm sure there are some people who would not abort a fetus with Down Syndrome, but how many of them can there be?

That's true - I didn't think about the liquor license - but toddlers are very much little kids. Two is when they start wanting EVERYTHING FOR THEMSELVES. The 2 year old I take care of threw a tantrum because I wouldn't let him eat all of the gummy vitamins, you know, because he could DIE, but he gave zero fucks. He's…

My moms would let me have sips of beer and coffee. They also indulged me by giving me baby cups full of olive juice, but I digress. I don't think there's anything wrong with letting your children taste adult beverages. Giving them their own glass is obviously dangerous (they could overdose because they're so small),…

Hmm, maybe you're inserting it too far in to your vagina? It should sit relatively close to your vaginal opening - the stem shouldn't be sticking out, but should be just inside your body. Also, it could be that you got the smaller size and it's "riding up" - maybe try the larger size? I don't know.

Are you squeezing it when you pull it out? There are little holes along the rim that serve to suction the diva cup to the walls of your vagina, so when you remove it you really have to dig your fingers in to your vagina and firmly squeeze the cup around its upper middle to release the suction. And yeah, huge learning…

Another thing I would recommend talking to your daughter about: being tough. Walking with a straight back and head held up high, making eye contact with people, it goes a long way towards preventing street harassment. Also, if someone touches her, she should know how to hit or poke eyes or knee someone in the groin.…

It's a tough situation. Men pay you different attention once you reach puberty and you are compelled to experiment with it, but obviously no adult wants their daughter to unintentionally put herself in harm's way. I think the thing what works the best is layers. Cosa Bella makes a super comfortable, supportive bra…
