I think this quite often, whenever I fall into "broad brush strokes" mentality. Fortunately, my grandmother is one of the biggest activists I know. She almost got kicked out of her church for agitating so hard for gay marriage; now she's almost 89 and still an incredible shit-disturber. I love that lady so much.

Paul Rudd is the Benjamin Button of real life. I swear he is aging backward.

Ugh. His pose may be ridiculous, but he's still SO DAMN ATTRACTIVE. Plus, riding on transit with the rest of the wet, stinky muggles?

This is a really good point! I maintain my reservations about whether this group will be able to handle the issue with the nuance it deserves; but in general, it's a good idea to remember that sexual assault is an issue that adversely impacts men in a whole variety of ways.

This could be almost hilarious if it wasn't so chilling and horrifying. Not to minimize the existence and importance of male allies, but there's just no way that a room made up of 99% old white dudes will ever come to reasonable, accurate conclusions about sexualized assault.

Ahahahaha. Normally I'd 'tsk' a bit for feeding this trolly asshole, but that line was hilarious enough to be worth it.

"Prove me wrong", I'm dying here.

I spent my college years eating a college tuition's worth of icecream products.

Those were not my healthiest years, but they sure were delicious. It's only in retrospect that I wish I'd been as savvy as these kids.

This seems very acceptable. There's definitely something sexy about doing something physically challenging, mentally engaging, and often quite sensual with your partner—thumbs up to letting that experience inspire sexytimes later. It's just... publicly dragging the rest of the class into it that makes me squirm.

I was in a yoga class recently with a dude who made us all a bit uncomfortable with his obvious conflation of yoga and sex. He would make leering comments to his girlfriend after about how "I couldn't concentrate on that pose, I kept getting a boner looking at you!". I mean, sweet that he's so excited by her, but she…

Exactly! I'm the university-educated child of two scientists, and I find it all quite intimidating and incomprehensible. Sometimes it feels like truly informed, ethical, healthy food consumption is the realm of the hyper-privileged.

Not to suggest that marginalized/underprivileged peoples can't eat ethically or…

This is definitely good advice, and I do try to practice this whenever a particularly sensational news article comes out. Still, as a regular ol' lay person, it would be challenging to read a variety of peer-reviewed articles for every single thing I want to consume. The idea of a RT type database would be so…

Oh lord, military AND football? This is bound to be the perfect storm of victim-blaming and lack of perpetrator accountability.

"But it's not natural!!!1!" they'll say. Oh noez! Guess what is natural? Rape, starvation, and dying young from dental decay.

Speaking of scientific literacy: I find it incredibly, incredibly difficult to make informed decisions about food consumption. There's so much damn information out there, and so much of it is conflicting, and I don't feel as though I have the proper education or critical lens to make any judgment myself as to what…

Air Canada Rogue is so much better than Air Canada Rouge. What a disappointment. I was imagining all these maverick pilots just flying the planes wherever they damn well want.

Also jumping on the Westjet bandwagon. I often end up stuck flying Air Canada, but seriously they are the worst.

I like that aspect of partner! I'm usually able to just say "oh no, my partner's a dude" and the issue is closed—but I like to think that it causes people to question their heterosexism just a bit.

What's not to like about "partner"? That's the term I default to. To me, it captures the seriousness of our relationship, as well as the fact that our relationship is based on respect, equality and, well, partnership! Plus, it's gender neutral, which I also like. :)
