Bwahahaha yeah right. It happened because the GOP can’t govern, because their ideas are all shit.

Here’s the thing, if one side has consistently tried to be bipartisan and work with their opponents and one side has refused to ever try to work with their opponents, there’s an obvious side to blame. Republicans refuse to even try to work with Dems, it’s been that way for decades, and it’s why they deserve the blame…

Umm does your sex not involve jumping on a trampoline while juggling 10 lb weights? I feel sorry for you.

I did barre for a while and discovered this by accident. Throughout the entire class you’re constantly being told to “scoop” in your stomach, which basically equates to an ab crunch/ kegel combo. Sex stuff was never mentioned by the instructors, but the effects were noticeable for me. I stopped paying for those…

America is the nicest 3rd world country in history.

The only fair policy I’ve seen for sick days is “take them when you need them.” If you limit someone’s sick time and/or then cut into vacation time, that’s just fucking mean. Everyone needs vacation break. Also sometimes people get pneumonia like I did last year and are down for 2-3 weeks. It’s not like I chose to get…

Exactly this! Pippa should be teaching classes on acquiring sponsors and working as a corporate spokesperson. This is what will make women successful race drivers.

Oh look, its that guy.

What it take to race in the Indy 500

I do not dismiss his fear. I know it’s very real and it’s a tough one to deal with. Which is why I think he has got to get help for it. Dogs are a common thing to encounter in the world. He doesn’t have to marry this woman and he doesn’t even have to ever LIKE dogs (I like dogs but I can see why a person might not),…

I hate it when people do this. “I had a bad experience with a dog when I was five, so I can never be around them again.” “My dad forced me to go in the pool before I was ready, so water is a no go for the rest of my life.” “A masked gorilla scared me at Halloween as a toddler, so to this day I keep trick-or-treaters…

This tweet really hit the nail on the head for me:

Wear down = exactly it. I’ve been worn down so much dating I’m like a nub. It would be great if we could all be so articulate and aware of our needs and just know ahead of timr when men are going to behave badly, but not everyone does that

damn straight women have such such low standards.

Thank you. That piece sparked more discussion among my social group than anything Jezebel has written on the topic. My first reaction was to resist Grace’s claim of sexual assault, which made me feel internally conflicted. But after sitting with my discomfort, I realized my initial reaction was due to Ansari’s…

Agreed. Men are capable of understanding indirect refusals in all other kinds of situations, and they are capable of understanding it in sexual ones, too.

It’s amazing how, when the conversation is about a progressive dude, suddenly “no means no” becomes

No. This is a dangerous statement.

You don’t think it’s coercion if someone just doesn’t hear a no? He was trying to wear her down, basically; the fact he didn’t quite succeed doesn’t make what he did okay.

I think that reinforces the point though — the conversation here should be a lot more nuanced and handled more deftly. I’m in my 30s now and I know how to say no, but pretty much throughout my 20s as I explored my sexuality I consistently ran into situations that I didn’t know how to handle. There’s a lot of pressure…
