The Ardrey Kell High School talent show: You pay for the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge

as a woman who is pushing 40 and is socially awkward due to autism, men and women both are NOT more understanding with socially awkward women. socially awkward men are more acceptable because it’s expected that women are supposed to be more socially fluent and aware of and tending to everyone’s emotional needs and…

Christie conditionally vetoed a similar bill in November 2015, saying he’d rather focus on making it easier for domestic violence victims to get guns of their own.

These thoughts were crazy in 1850. Why blame the ills of the world on the genitals of little girls?

My renter’s insurance comes with a $100,000 personal injury coverage. So if I sock Bill Cosby in his withered balls and he sues me and I lose, my insurance will pay up to that amount of the judgement. I bet millionaire homeowners’ insurance has even more of this type of coverage.

I know it’s not perfect and it took decades to get to this point but a trial must be a huge relief/win for the victims.

Can someone explain to me what kind of homeowners insurance policy do you need to have that it pays out rape settlement claims? Am I the only one that finds that odd? Or did I misread or misunderstand?

I have become (and I’m super proud of it) more difficult with age. I will not compromise my intelligence, dedication to feminism, the word feminism or any of the various aspects or myself not seen as “feminine” in order to find a man who will care about me. If I have to wait, so be it.

The adult thing would’ve been for you to not get defensive and accuse the author of this piece of being unfair to her readers by using humor that the vast majority of us understood, but the time for that was a while ago.

For me it's always been Red Bull. Something about the crap they put in it plus the sugar, it's always been my salvation

I just enjoyed Ben Kingsley’s performance so much I couldn’t really hate the twist at the end. He made me laugh so hard.

I think it needs to be said, though, that the vast majority of trauma victims do not themselves become pedophiles? Like, I take your point, but I work in crisis counseling, and you would be appalled at how many people have suffered sexual abuse as children. It can - and absolutely does - have ramifications for people,…

It’s odd, because when they want to pass laws regulating health care it’s a baby, but when they want to keep a sad addict in jail it’s suddenly just medical waste.

Just as I was starting to resent everything about this election, I am now given hope.

I was at the Boston talk with my husband, who has only seen two or three episodes (he was too enraged to watch the rest) and even he was edge-of-his-seat fascinated. Strang and Buting were articulate and interesting and even the questions were thoughtful (there were a lot of lawyers in the audience, so maybe that’s…

The more you valorize masculinity (by associating it with the active, often penetrative, role), the more you despise victims (who have, in your eyes, “lost” that masculinity). It’s beyond gross.

Agreed. Though I’m starting to suspect exploitation of the vulnerable for crotch gratification may be as universal as the law of entropy.

What kind of normal human being even whips out the word “whores” to use, unless they have some bizarre sexist way that they view a very real problem in government? It’s not a common word. It shouldn’t leap to mind for anyone, except those who conflate sexuality with corruption on a very core level. It’s not even…

Opinion as a cosplayer: Everything I’ve ever cosplayed, prominent boobs are no, has been for me and me alone. I know that’s not the same for everyone, but assuming that women cosplay for men’s attention erases a lot of amazing women out there who do it for their own happiness.

There’s a shocker. Who saw that coming????
