There is nothing funny about Adam Levine; he is a serious man engaged in serious pursuits, like throwing seriously sexy Halloween parties.

The people who were in charge of the Harry Potter sets should write a book about how to work with child actors in a way that helps them not completely lose their shit later in life, and then everyone in the entertainment industry who works with kids should have to read it.

Don't forget War Machine. Or is he on the Abuse Justification bingo card?

Ebola wouldn't have been my first choice to fight the Wedding Industrial Complex, but it certainly seems effective.

I used to work in a strip club/adult store/massage parlor. We had internet booths, with some free porn access. Every. fucking. week, random middle-aged, well-dressed, white guy in a suit would scuttle out of his booth like he had a red hot potato jammed up his ass and scoot out of the store and almost without…

It's actually not that uncommon, sadly. A caller to the Savage Love podcast once mentioned a similar event happening to her. Dan's opinion was that (as a gay man who has had a lot of anal sex in his time) this sort of thing never happens by accident if penetration occurs. He got a flood of calls from women who…

I find this show hilarious and satirical - but I also find this particular issue that it addressed insensitive. Would I shove my thumb up my boyfriends asshole without consent?

If he wanted to test the waters he should have spoke to her before hand and asked for her consent, also i think you will find that asking for consent and talking about things is normal for many relationships.

This explanation definitely makes me unsure about what the true intent was. He was trying to get away with something in sex? Um, that's not called consensual any longer.

What does any of that have to do with taking someone's right to say no away though? Pretending to slip is not something adults just do. The only person I've ever known who had this happen to them was dating a very abusive 18 year old asshole.

"he tried something because he was trying to see what he could get away with."

This is off-topic (I don't watch The Mindy Project) but can we talk about how awesome Emily Nussbaum is for a hot second? Her review of True Detective (entitled "Cool Story, Bro") spelled out every single problem I had with that show. Plus she loves Always Sunny!

I don't know what she's babbling about. I wish she'd just said she was depicting how these things often come up in the real world, whether or not that is right or ideal.

Yeah. I hate how proud I am of my SO for doing the majority of the housework while I work long hours. Don't get me wrong - I'm so grateful - but I hate that he gets a special cookie (in my own mind!) for taking these shared tasks off MY hands, since they were, by default, mine.

My father and his friends try to out-brag each other on how little they do around the house, and/or how much their wives wait on them. Like my mom.

This. It's like societies who make women wear burquas so they don't tempt men. How little faith do you have in men?

It's sad how proud I am of my fella for doing his fair share of housework. It's also sad how shocked people are when I tell them how he helped with our newborn overnight while I recovered from a caesarean (We split it more 50/50 now). Seriously, I couldn't get out of bed without help for two days. Are there really men…

I agree that the "women are so smart, they're the only ones who can figure out how to wash the floor" is benevolent sexism (toward women), but isn't it just sexism/misandry toward the men who, by implication, are stupid and immature?

I'll never get over the fact that the patriarchy convinces people everyday that men are superior to women, but then turn around and say that they need to be "trained" for marriage by women, and they need to be "tamed" by women sexually because they're very sexual human beings and the poor poor menz can't help…

I can't stand the cohabitate with girlfriend = expect her to be your new mommy dynamic. I have heard the "but women are so much better than men, inherently kinder/more nurturing/more spiritual" talk from male friends before and besides being patently untrue, it's almost always an excuse for not owning up to their own…
