If anyone thinks Patrick Bateman is a likeable character, I will fight them. I will fight them right in their stupid, smelly faces.

I've had patients legitimately hit on me — one immediately after her abortion, and another right after a pelvic exam.

Wow. Cool story, bro'd by a Jezebel author. My life is complete.

No one can defend the bidders though.

I can't believe I'm about to defend Sydney Leathers's labia auction here, but there were bidders

This is not entirely unlike the folks who saw Mad Men and wanted to be Don Draper. MISSING THE POINT SO MUCH

It's like people who saw The Great Gatsby and then threw 20s-themed extravagant parties with gold in their champagne and dancing monkeys.

I think it was good because you started out kind of wanting to like the characters... and then you realize that to get as far as they did, you had to become a terrible person. They are terrible. You are terrible for thinking that you wanted to be like them.

Homophobia: The fear that another man will treat you like you treat women.

I feel it's a good movie about bad people. Everyone I've talked to about the characters being bad people, I always have to question, what's the alternative? From now on, we only have films full of moral, upstanding, kind people? Every film is now Toy Story, except with the whole part with the crazy neighbor kid cut…

Like a tay ina win.

Because *some* dudes get violent when you tell them no.

This makes me want to live off the grid by myself. Like Nell.

Except there is a thing called "informed consent" that a doctor is required to obtain before doing any sort of procedure like this, which basically means the patient has to say yes to a procedure after the doctor tells them about the risks. Doctors only have permission to do what a patient consents to (unless it's an…

Still illegal, under "right to roam" laws. Your doctor can't do that.

Back when it happened, I recall someone commenting about the poor care that led to Michael Jackson's death. Somebody who said they worked in the medical field said something to the effect that celebrities typically do NOT get good medical care, contrary to what you might expect.

I do not understand this Joan Rivers story. How was a doctor who is not authorized to work in that clinic able to even access an unconscious woman without her consent, let alone perform a procedure on her? Serious wtf.

I actually don't have trouble believing that statistic if you broaden it to include the range of IPV (emotional, physical, verbal, etc) but I don't accept this study's results as a valid indication of the rates of physical intimate partner violence in the country. That's not to say it's wrong, just that this study…

Are you trolling? Because if any one of my girl friends told me she slapped her significant other (of any gender), I would be shocked. None of my male or female friends has ever mentioned anything like this. I know this happens but it's not a, "Oh guess this how relationships work," thing.

That's actually a very interesting article, mostly for reasons beyond what the above post delves into (it doesn't surprise me, at all, that at least 1 in 5 men have a history of some sort of violence in their current relationship, the number for women would likely also be fairly high, though likely not as high if you…
