You are absolutely implying it.

I wouldn't consider a woman who clearly has a deep respect, appreciation, and admiration for a certain type of music/culture to be someone who is culturally appropriating. If we labeled this appropriation, then pretty much every type of art would be off limits to most people.

Nope, you're wrong.

Hahaha, I'll have to keep this in mind! I've been dating a like-minded guy for a year now, and I guess being in a ~stable~ relationship helps me see how messy the dating world can be. But hey, a bunch of my friends seem to have a lot of fun, so there's pros and cons to both.

Ugh, YES. My entire friend group is like this and it gets SO messy. Everyone does this whole "well, we don't want to label it or anything" or "relationships just give me a lot of anxiety" while they're having sex and hanging out every day and kissing/holding hands in public. That to me is a relationship. This desire…

Yeah, I have a handful of guy friends who have straight up said they like needy girls. *shrugs*

My first boyfriend became extremely emotionally distant, and about a month before he dumped me he would hardly talk to me or anything. I knew something was wrong, and it was so stressful. I was freaking out. I talked to a good guy friend of mine about it, and I told him how I felt like I was being too needy. And he…

This is how I felt with this whole movement of "period blood is beautiful and isn't gross," where girls were like making paintings and baking cookies with their period blood. I mean, I think periods are messy and a hassle but its just something I live with because that's how my parts work. I'm never ASHAMED of having…

One of the things I've noticed is that men LOVE to throw the "you say you're a feminist but only men are drafted that isn't equal HA GOTCHA!" in my face. But that doesn't make any sense to me. Pretty much all the feminists (including myself) that I've met have stated that if there were ever a time where a draft for…

Hahahaha yes and I remember everyone having a similar reaction when they saw the picture of him.

I remember when all this happened she had described as an "Alexander Skarsgard look-a-like" and then when the internet saw a picture of him everyone laughed for a good 10 minutes. Yeah, keep dreamin', fame-crazed sandwich lady.

Ahhh, I see. I've always considered myself a monogamist, but clearly (having dated more than one person) I'm a serial monogamist.

Random and genuine question - what is the difference between people who are monogamous vs. people who are serially monogamous?

But that's just how you're viewing it. I myself am a straight, EXTREMELY monogamous person who is very tied up in emotions, so I've only ever had sex with people I have been deeply in love with. It works really great for me, but I recognize that others have very different preferences. When I read these articles I…

Honestly, I think the root of slut-shaming really is just jealousy. From both men and women - men may be jealous a woman is having sex with men OTHER than him, and a woman may be jealous her friend is getting some while she's alone, for example.

I never said it was. I think flipping through a catalogue browsing sperm donors is just as creepy.

Whenever I read these ads for eggs, I just think of eugenics. I guess there's a fine line there somewhere, but I don't know. It just makes me feel weird.

Sums it all up.

The ellipsis is so awesome. I find that it can often be ridiculously condescending as well.

This is an awesome comment. I've been noticing for a while now that if you EVER refer to yourself as "not pretty" people will immediately rush in and be like "yes you are don't say that!"
