Exactly. I may not be a fan of religion and find their superstitions silly, but I do love going into temples and churches because they are such beautiful works of art. And you have to give respect to the people when you go into those places, not treat it like your own personal jungle gym. It's one thing to wear your…

This is the first time I have acknowledged, outside of my own head, that I have been the victim of acquaintance rape:

What a lovely story for a Friday.

This was my favorite thing when you wrote for the Hairpin. I'm so glad you're doing it here too! Even if it means I'm going to buy way too much stuff I don't need ...

As someone who was... I never really know the words for it... date-sexually assaulted (not penetration rape, but he took all my clothes, held me down, yelled at me, tried to pry my arms and legs open, and I managed to get away) I know the "wanting to talk" feeling. I was dating this guy, very causally- but dating. We…

I think most of us are predisposed to look for ambiguity, for a grey area between the "he said" and the "she said" because we are programmed to do so out of a misguided sense of skepticism or even agnosticism when it comes to sexual assault. In my own case, that was the most crazy-making aspect; otherwise perfectly…

Yeah, I know what you mean. I like that Kara put this in because those dudes calling women "females" is just not the same as saying "Oh wow, I realized today that I've read way more male authors than female authors". Dudes like that aren't ever using it as an adjective. As a lady, I do use it as an adjective…

Whenever I hear somebody use female as a noun while referring to humans, it is an immediate sign to me that whatever is coming out of their mouth will be deeply rooted in misogyny. I have yet to be wrong.

I like the visual, but even after watching this trailer I haven't got the faintest clue what's it about. Matt Smith is some kind of bad guy? Is the Fitz-part of Fitzsimmons one of Christina Hendrick's two boys or an entirely different character? Did that burning bike drive on its own?

This looks weird as fuck. Like he loves Terrence Malick and Jim Jarmusch in equal measure and jammed in five movie ideas into one film because he wasn't sure he'd get another shot.

I heard, and seriously you need to verify this, that if you have a more warm skin tone versus a more cooler one.

Adults (26-64): 7-9 hours each day.

Completely agreed. Plus, BMI has been proven time and again to not really be a good indicator for weight issues, since there are so many other factors. Campus wide LETS BE HEALTHY is a-ok, but this is just out of line.

There's nothing inherently wrong with sending out health-related emails, including tips for managing a healthy weight, though I would be annoyed. What is MAJORLY wrong is culling health center lists of students and targeting the ones that the school identifies as having a weight problem. That's a huge WTF.

I've got this awesome hippie Wiccan facebook friend, and she posted a link to an article about vaginal steaming the other day, and no lie, Facebook's top "suggested link" underneath my friend's post was a link to a food.com recipe for steamed clams.

Space between syllables is a little odd but her pronunciation is great.

A.A. Ron is a callback to the substitute teach sketch, which was pretty hilarious.
