So we’re all gonna call Toomey’s office to teach them what graphic descriptions of the menstrual cycle are like, right?

I was just having a conversation with a “friend” a couple days ago in which I expressed my disdain for an adult male human who finds menstruation “icky”.
On the other hand, everything about being a teenage male creates unrealistic sexual expectations.
I have very little doubt that widespread viewing of pornography by teenage males creates unrealistic sexual expectations, which can create many, many problems. That said, I don’t think that’s an appropriate problem for government to solve given that any physical harm resulting therefrom depends entirely on the agency…
This guy has been in the local Seattle news for a while now. Predators like this are why statute of limitations should be lifted on sex crimes, because they sure don’t seem to really exist for other crimes. It’s almost like folks don’t want women having the ability to prosecute their attackers.
Michelle Obama has been one of the classiest, the most educated (two ivy league degrees), perhaps the smartest, and yes one of the most beautiful first ladies we have ever had. We will be lucky to get another one like her. People who hate on her are ignorant racists. She is so many things that all of us strive to…
Yes it’s so infuriating that ball-kicking is considered OFF LIMITS. If men don’t want to be kicked in the balls, maybe they should stop ASKING FOR IT by doing fucked-up shit that makes you have to kick them in the balls!
Go you. I shaved my head last summer and everyone kept trying to philanthropize it: “Oh, did you do St. Baldrick’s? Or donate it to charity?” “No,I just wanted it gone so I could stop wasting time preening myself.” As if a woman’s appearance/shaved head has to be an act of generosity or sacrifice.
And Michael, too. My college boyfriend reprimanded me for putting pantyliner wrappers in the garbage in his bathroom because his roommate would tease him for it. I was so humiliated. I didn’t occur to me then to be pissed at him and his stupid roommate. I feel sad for my younger self, and I’ll never stop being pissed…
“It’s disgusting how easily they can divide us.”
This is so good. And mirrors so much of what I feel. Hopeless and angry and just so fucking full of rage at the class of men that I don’t know what to do with myself.
This was amazing. Thank you for writing!
Madeleine Davies, always my favorite.
Fuck Tom and all the Toms of the world.
She was 18. If you give it some thought, you’ll realize that “teenager” is a pretty solid answer to “why would you do something that stupid?”
Lol are you serious?
Well, if he didn’t it would sure suck as a grown ass man to have people say on network TV that he murdered his sister. He was never convicted or even charged. I hope he gets a shitload of money.
That settles it then.
Right? When she’s acting, she’s fine.
