OH MAN. Too bad they didn't BOTH involve Rachel Dolezal. Imagine. The gal takes off her blindfold and Rachel is like "surprise! I'm not a dude!" and the girl gasps at horror at the dildo. Then while she's trying to process it all, Rachel is like "Also I'm not black either."

Look, it’s perfectly legal for consenting adults to do kinky shit. There are loads of people who consent to doing kinky shit with other people. The problem here isn’t that she did something kinky- it’s that the other person did not have her consent.

I don't know if it was strapped-on or not, but yes that is the gist of it.

It’s about consent, obviously. If I give my husband consent, and then another man puts on a mask, says he’s my husband, has sex with me, then he has raped me. The fact that I consented to my husband does not mean I consented to a random masked man.

Yea, pretty sure.

I think it's cool that she's called General as it makes sense that she would get promoted and move up and all that. She was commanding armies in the originals. I think it's silly to have her offended by being called Princess. It should just be something that she also is, not something that has negative connotations.…

Whenever I read those stats on how many people cheat, I often wonder if it comes out of repression or frustration with rigid social roles. I mean, if I wanted to cheat, I don’t think I could do it with any of the men I know and regularly hang out with because all of us are so open and it would cause problems in the…

As I said, pretty damn frequently. I have male friends and I am a female. Aside from all the many scenarios I named in which it just happens because we are part of a larger social group or there are other things going on involving children/work/chores/hobbies/etc, I also just have men with whom I’m friends and enjoy…

Depends on how serious this is and how much of it is about insecurity. I think my husband is hot. I think it’s really hot when other women think he is hot. I’m constantly asking him to tell me if other women are hitting on him and checking him out. It took him a while to realize I just needed him to make up stories.…

Mostly, I just trust my husband to not desire the company of shady dramatic untrustworthy people. And I trust his judgment and his taste.

I don’t know. I think there are some people who are interested in all sorts of drama, and really it’s just better to get those people out of your life altogether.

Seriously? My husband travels a lot with work, so I assume he has dinner/drinks with colleagues several times a month. Including his assistant and his boss, both of whom are women. But moving beyond that, in the example listed above (the lovely sounding married couple that has their own lives), I’m sure those hobbies…

I think the problem that you are having is that you are projecting YOUR experience on everyone else- assuming that this is what marriage is like for everyone. I do not know anyone who does not have close friends / coworkers / neighbors / parent-friends / hobby-friends of the opposite sex. Not a soul. If this works for…

Sure, but I'd say that there is a pretty good way to approach this without being unethical. There is no reason someone that age should be entirely monogamous either. Be smart and safe and honest and practical about what you are doing; just have the balls not to lie about it.

Yes, but that is an issue of respect, and if it is phrased as an issue of jealousy, it is double disrespect.

It's actually the best part of your brain to bring to the screwing.

Whoa, seriously? OMG. No reason? I could think of a couple dozen before noon.

Whoa. Mind blowing the mental exercises people subject themselves to. I just can't even...

I’d say REI is a little different in that way. If you buy shoes or a backpack or any of these things, you really do need an employee who is knowledgeable to help you with your fittings. For my high dollar purchases, the employee has usually worked with me for a very long time until I figure out exactly what suits me…

I might be misunderstanding, but I think the problem is that the metric is sales of memberships, not sales of retail. If so, then this is probably an indication of a larger problem with how the company is organized. At a certain point, membership sales will slow down unless you live in a booming area.
