You’re not alone on that. I also hate the way the media uses the phrase “sex slave” when they really mean “rape slave”. It’s a really insidious example of the way rape is conflated with “just sex” in the wider culture.

wicca?

he really is the best

an ex of mine is a doc, and he told me when he was in medical school all the guys choosing OB/GYN as their specialty were ... strange. They all had weird hang ups about women and were creepy nice guy types. this phenomenon of the male ob/gyn creeps was so well known among other med students that they took it for…

so true about the jeans. Also charming: geeky glasses instead of hipster heavy frames like everyone else

he’s not even my usual type, but would bang.

Yeah I said something similar (stuck in the greys of course, boo kinja).

You—like the misogynists themselves—are engaged in a battle-of-the-sexes that neither helps feminism nor solves the problem at hand.

This is really fucked up. So first he attempts suicide by trying to make innocent people kill him with their vehicles, and then somehow he gets his girlfriend involved and SHE gets hit and killed.

no examples as the only times phone calls stand out to me in movies is when they DO say goodbye, cause it’s so rare.

The phone-number answer is usually only older people, 60+

I’m not american, but since this is your holiday and all, i thought it fitting to ask you people a question about your country.

if i had serious money i would invest in a ‘tattoo removal for the stars’ business.

bf was terrified of this orange when he was a kid, but i only have fond memories

interesting. Is it the psychological factor — just knowing its in there, or can you actually feel it? I can only feel tampons when they are close-ish to the entrance, but if they are far enough up i cant feel them at all.

I’ll be interested to see how this plays out. I was in australia when the GST was first introduced, and there was so much anger over period products being taxed. The government defended the proposal by stating that tampons were like shaving cream, ie: “a bit of a luxury, not a necessity”. Yes, they really, actually…

This is a pretty common experience, actually. I kept getting UTIs while I was with one particular guy, but never got them before or after that relationship.

Yeah, I know what “non disclosing” means, but I don’t see any evidence that it is an actual gender identity. I’ve never come across anyone who identifies as “non disclosing”. not even on tumblr, which is the prime showcase for alt / non-mainstream identification. The closest would be genderqueer. Or perhaps…
