I mean, if the level of pretentiousness at an event is set to "vegan brunch buffet," I might make the mistake of thinking things under glass are fair game.

Unsolicited, self-proclaimed "genius"

Okay, this is statistical, but in the U.S. if one in six women is raped in her lifetime, and rapists average six victims, then one in 34 men in the U.S. is a rapist. We all know a rapist. Probably several over our lifetimes. And I don't see 5,000,000 men in prison for rape.

hard for the MEN and Women to find justice when they have been raped.

The wonky thing with the humanist thing is that humanism is mainly made up of people who rail against religion. Gender is normally only talked about in the sense that they believe that both genders are philosophically equal, but they make no attempt to reconcile that with what happens in real life. It's like the…

Well, their complete ignorance and lack of ANY desire to pick up and read on the definition is not an excuse to derail an entire movement whose purpose is to EMPOWER women.

Nailed it. I firmly believe that the majority of people who say this don't actually care about the issues when they arise in the news. They just want to appear philanthropic.

Typing on phone. Not on drugs.

Sex is an icky, nasty thing that should only happen between an married man and a married woman and should always be punished with pregnancy! It should never happen between two horny individuals and definitely not in the back seat of a Datsun B210 that may or may not have dents and bondo, in the parking lot of a…

If teenagers insist on having sex, let's make sure they feel guilty and ashamed and have issues (or unwanted children) which will ruin sex for them forever. That'll learn 'em!

That's a strange thing to take away from this article...

I teach European history, and so I am so freaking aware of how anachronistic the clothes and hair and attitudes are, and the British accents piss me off, but I found myself referencing this season's struggle with the nobility in the class where I talked about the need for the Bourbon kings to reign in the nobility. I…

We live in a world where people don't create research studies based on "old wives' tales." So we have to create an underground network of sharing our direct experiences until we build up a knowledge of what works. Then we hand that down to the next generation of women. Then some man comes on the internet and tells us…

Plain yogurt works. We don't just have ideas, we know. Unless, of course, you live in a society that doesn't believe the direct experiences of women... oh. Yeah.

But you also have to consider women have been so overlooked by the medical industry its insane, particularly when it comes to conditions of the lady bits. A lot of the "you're a hysterical woman" reaction still exists in the medical field.

Ari, if you've never suffered from sensitive skin, not even necessarily just in your 'nads, you're kinda talking through your hat. I had severe face eczema for years that I finally figured out was caused by chemical SPFs put in most moisturizers. I'm on some medication now that is causing itching on the inside of my…

There are some things—gaping chest wounds and placental abruptions, pinkeye, tuberculosis, sepsis (when it's caught), cataracts, vaccinatable childhood diseases—that the medical system is AMAZING at treating. They are fucking miracles and it's life altering. That's why when your body ain't working, your first stop…

It's likely because these methods were the ones used for the years before antibiotics. And are still used in many places. And many of them do have double blind studies.

i know you're a person with a body, but you're also not a vagina-haver, if remember my commentariat correctly. most women, definitely including myself, are simultaneous is awe and in fear of our vaginas. when they work or do something cool, we love them. but it's so easy to mess them up and once you do, you could be…

Maybe "a severely deteriorated state" means Indiana?
