Oh, you haven’t heard about the whole subconscious-social-conditioning-from-infancy theory? It’s really something.

I was trying to be nice by calling her that instead of just saying “she dresses ridiculously,” because she does. Which is fine, she’s not hurting anyone, but just because she is tall and rail-thin with gorgeous dark hair, arched eyebrows, and red lipstick, and can afford very expensive clothing, it doesn’t make her a s…

I hate Amal. Perhaps now that she and George are sexistly raising their twins, we will stop hearing the canard that the woman who happily participated in a ridiculous paparazzi-friendly wedding to a very famous actor, including having the guests arrive in speed boats while waving for the paps and her wearing nine…

Damn, this take was scalding 🤔

Seriously. I have tons of friends who go to Burning Man and they are all in their late 30s/early 40s. It’s not my cup of tea (I need hot water and a private toilet), but the idea of escaping into a fantasy land is very appealing. Unless you’re leaving behind a litter of kids, there is no reason not to enjoy stuff like…

Hey, the biggest Burner I know is in his early forties. He provides a lot of the bikes people use out there and is super into all the community stuff. I think it’s just too old to go out there if you’re treating it like a rave.

Yes, I was just thinking that hippies still go to Burning Man and they’re pushing 70 so Paris is definitely not an Old for that event.

Yeah, I don’t see why age should have any bearing on whether or not a person ‘should’ go. If kids get all weird about it then that’s their problem.

A huge burner population is over 50. Lots of old hippies. They’re the best

I see a lot of press coverage of people who are a lot older than Paris at burning man. She’s probably part of the older crowd, but certainly not the oldest person attending, and she’s extremely young at heart.

She’s 36. I’m no fan of Paris, but it makes me sad that people think that’s too old to enjoy life. Don’t give up on life just because you’re not 21!  

No. It is not a thing. Not being attracted to people until you get to know them is also not an unusual thing. It is something made up on tumblr to make themselves feel special about something that is truly not. All of which would be ignored by the wide world as some internet silliness, except they like to parade…

So “demisexual” means that a person doesn’t want to fuck someone until they decide that they want to fuck them? Still sounds like the vast majority of the population to me. Not caring about looks isn’t a sexual orientation, for Christ’s sake.

It isn’t for everyone..and for me it killed my sexual desire for my husband. and nearly ended the marriage. We haven’t had relations now for 15 of our 40 years together, because his addiction to porn ultimately made me averse to him physically. The porn relationship became far more important to him than I was.

Actual feminist analysis is really not popular these days. Today being a feminist means you are a hashtag girl boss, make-up is empowering, prostitution is empowering, pole-dancing is empowering, slutwalk, choice feminism nightmare. Nobody reads feminist books anymore and feminist history is basically taboo. I just …

Yes, THANK YOU. I loathe being referred to as “cis het,” by the logic of which you’d be referred to as “cis homo”? It’s an ugly hissy word and one the non-trans community didn’t choose. It’s also a misapplied term adopted from chemistry. So let’s just stop with it.

As a gay human being — and I do so hate frequently having to open with that — please allow me to speak for every other gay person on earth to grant everyone alive the freedom to STOP using “cis.” It is, I promise, absolutely OK to have the reader or listener grasp the fact that it’s not offensive at all and does not…

Thank you for quoting Gail Dines. Jezebel is a “feminist” site with surprisingly little feminism most of the times.

Having sex for money is not empowering.

“The message that porn disseminates about women can be boiled down to a few essential characteristics: they are always ready for sex and are enthusiastic to do whatever men want, irrespective of how painful, humiliating, or harmful the act is.”
