Hitachi magic wands — "stealth" sex toys for all!

I worked on a case exactly like this when I was a paralegal for the ACLU, except in Alabama. There is nothing like typing for an old lawyer who can't type as he dictates: "Genital massage brings euphoric joy to many individuals." We won, btw. So this thing will get struck down.

it's weird— I feel like I couldn't do this even if I wanted to (despite looking like a child) because I don't remember what it is that teens do, even though it came perfectly naturally at the time.

Thanks for this comment. As someone who took and really loved salsa dancing classes for two years and still doesn't really know how to salsa, I like the idea that even bad dancers can be dancers at heart. If this were dudes playing pickup soccer, no one would have said they should have gotten pros. I thought the…

not all "not all _____"s are unhelpful! ;)

I'm confused — if you actively seek out discussions about gender identity and sexuality, what do you consider to be "TMI"?

I totally believe you, but I had such a different experience. I filled out an application with a couple of organizations to foster/adopt a dog, they both accepted me without really asking questions about yard/apt. size/etc., I picked a dog, I adopted her. Granted, she is an adult, and maybe getting a puppy would…

the reason I think it's real is because only a kid would write on looseleaf BACKWARDS. And right up to the hole punches!

Yeah, and the very fact that this is "tweet worthy" speaks to how prostitution is more salacious entertainment than criminal activity. We wouldn't all be so excited by tax evasion busts. Sex sells, and the police are gonna capitalize on it at the same time that they punish others for doing so.

As an English teacher, I can say some kids are good spellers, some kids are bad spellers. It usually tracks less with spelling practice and more with reading practice and ability. Generally, kids who read a lot are strong spellers. On the other hand, there are some passionate readers who can't spell for shit. No…

You're most welcome again!

Ha! I knew it was only a matter of time until your true colors show. All of us poor ladiez TOTALLY need trigger warnings for everything. But don't worry, I wasn't triggered. I was just explaining why you were rude and incorrect. You're welcome!

Thanks for explaining so thoroughly. I guess I feel like I see your situation quite differently than the viewpoint you ascribe to traditional feminism (to which, for the record, I really feel kind of like an outsider myself, or at least a casual supporter). From my perspective, your abuse could well be tied in to…

I might have stayed civil if you hadn't put "journalists" in scare quotes. That's not necessary. Also, if you want to talk journalism, journalists use "sic" to indicate that the quote itself includes typos or poor grammar, and that these things should not be attributed to poor copy editing. "Sic" is not used to…

I'm curious — in what ways has mainstream feminism made you feel excluded? And how would broadening it in the way you describe help? I am the first to criticize it as being too white and too upper-middle-class, but these things don't seem tied to the idea of misandry at all. (As a side note, I don't think I would…

Man, these people are going to be waiting their whole lives to deny service to someone trying to print promotional freemasonry materials! You'd think, them being a printing company, they could print an anti-freemasonry sticker. I'd buy that!

Oh, shut up, bro.

Hmm... I guess I'm torn. I really respect you based on your thoughtful comments, so I don't want to dismiss what you are saying. I agree that it can be alienating to people "with privilege" in a given situation to hear that there is no such thing as reverse racism/sexism, but I guess I don't think that is the most…

Honest question: do you think a mother molesting her son is inherently misandric? I guess I honestly would doubt the reality of such a claim — possibly because I don't understand it...

I think you're wrong on every possible level of your comment, but humor me with regard to one small detail. When people talk about "reverse racism" I can at least see how a very small- minded, self-absorbed person could think this exists. But cisphobia? This seems akin to non-albino-phobia, or right-handophobia,…
