It is not the case that rape requires penetration in every jurisdiction in the US. In California, for example, rape is an act of sexual intercourse accomplished under any of the statutory circumstances (force, threat, intoxication, lack of mental capacity, etc.). The law similarly criminalizes participation in oral…

I'm offended on behalf of my (hypothetical) house. Take it back! Not a good troll.

No, those aren't real feminists. If it pleases a boner, it can't be feminist.

I don't accept your approval. And I find bitterness is useful to propel the complaining, which is all that I do, while being purposefully unattractive to boners.

I'm glad you noticed, we work pretty hard at being ugly. Women for too long have been kept down by beauty standards that please men's boners. The best and only true feminist response is therefore to work very hard at ensuring that we are not pleasing to men's boners. It is always about boners.

Well, that is an exaggeration. I haven't yet conquered the patriarchy, i.e. biology, so I still need to sleep. I'm only at 19/7 on complaining, but I continue to dream the impossible dream.

Fun usually involves either the sex sphere or the humor sphere, which we also hate. Because we are not funny and are all lesbians.

I'm apparently going down a rabbit hole here....

This is a false equivalency. What Erin is guilty of, if anything, is being mean to people by calling them assholes. What the protestors are guilty of is holding bigoted views and seeking to see those views enforced by law in a manner that materially hurts people. Labeling someone an asshole does not make you "no…

Um, have you been to the symphony lately? I live in a so-called majority-minority city and the symphony audience is nearly all old and white.

Though I feel like an ass caring about this (because, really, justice > music performance), I'm glad it went down this way. Thanks for sharing.

Best part is that this occurred after the Giants turned a pretty tricky double play. Those are his happy veins.

It is a super uncomfortable law suit, but she does have a case. That said, I'm not sure her attorney did her any long-term favors by including a claim for "wrongful birth." Those are typically reserved for situations when a child is born with extreme medical issues that the parents weren't told about and should have…

Certainly more effective than wishes at certain times of the day.

Worked. I totally want those light bulbs. Does the app really work?

News you can use!

Don't know when this actually happened, but I think I've made more than $32k since June. But I also don't have a penis, so, worth equates to how fuckable I am, right?

What a bold and principled stance? You don't have to care until other people object in the right way?

I guess I would conversely submit that such an assumption reveals a startling lack of empathy and self-awareness, if true.

I am truly curious how you would refute the "mean-world" hypothesis.
