This whole thing has been exhausting, as a sexual assault survivor. It’s like everywhere I turn there are rape apologists—more so than usual.

Did he really say that? But that’s like...all the policy. I’m going to tell my next boyfriend that I’ll handle all the chores, as long as he takes care of the ones inside and outside the house.

Counterpoint: OK Go is great and this sucks.

She should have pepper sprayed his eyes out and been like, “What? I’m being Amanda Waller, you fucking baby.”

Your comment suggests that we have not come that far at all.

I just finished it and it is fucking fascinating. In any other context it reads as fiction, 100 Years of Solitude sounded more based in reality than the things that happen in Going Clear. If even only 10% of the book is real and the rest is fabricated, it would still be one of the most bat shit stories that I have…

And the documentary didn’t touch even half of the batshit stuff in the book.

Also, Going Clear was a book that was made into a documentary and it is about 80 different kinds of fucked up and should be read by all.

When I was 21, I dated an adventure guy. He wanted to backpack the Darien Gap, etc. If the Vice Guide to North Korea (seriously the starting point for basically every bro who wants to go there) had been on his radar he would have planned a trip for sure. He was large and strong and smart, for the most part. But he was…

Oh, it’s about a preacher who takes his family to the Congo in the 1960s, to “spread the word.” Things don’t go well.

Nope. The Young Pioneers have nothing to do with Jesus. It’s a travel adventure tour to, and this is the website’s own words, “destinations your mother would rather you stayed away from”.

I am going to Hell for laughing at this but have, you guys, seen the website for the group he went with, Young Pioneers Tour? Right there on the front page as an advertisement it describes itself as,

I understand VERY well what the punishment is. and what it means. And the reports are from the Daily Mail and other EMEA news sources from people on the tour and his return flight. Not North Korea.

But he did not hurt anyone with his foolishness, and is now facing a really horrific punishment that he may well not survive

welp this is what happens when we collectively obsess over the sexuality of barely-pubescent girls. Fuck this guy in particular, but fuck the culture that encourages his fucked-uped-ness.

When we were house hunting, my husband and I looked at a house that had a hot tub in the kitchen. In. The. Kitchen. The rest of the house was great, and the location was perfect, but that inconceivable hot tub was a deal breaker. On our way out, the realtor stopped us to ask if we wouldn’t mind telling her why we…

Super unpopular opinion- I really don’t like legalizing prostitution because of the commodification of (mostly) female bodies. I think if it was a small scale with women having total control over being paid for what they decide on, it would be different. But, it’s not. For the most part, when prostitution is legal,…

Well, but there’s consenting to something because you want to have sex with people for money (and if you do, great! You do you!) and consenting to something because you’re poor, or uneducated, or feeding an addition, or whatever and it’s the only prospect you have for making money. Is that actually consent and is that…

If someone else has a bad day at work they still get paid their entire salary, right? I usually tip closer to 25-30%, if it’s bad service I’ll go down to 15%.

I'm just wondering how the concept of a year consisting of a fixed number of days-per-year came into use on such a world where the length of seasons are so inconsistent? The very concept of a year as the fulfillment of a pattern of recognizable seasons arose with the development of the organized agrarian society. …
