Uh, no. But I have made a joke in a comment section.

So, she totally rebuffed his flirting and he’s taking his hurt fee-fees to the media, right?

From people I have actually heard of:

What’s a DVD?

This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine and is starting to ruin concerts for me.

The good news is that, after a bit more advocating for myself, I now have an appointment on Thursday to get the test.

I feel you! My doctor told us not to visit any place south of Oklahoma if we were trying for a second baby. I don’t think they know how to even check anything for Zika!!

It’s terrible for everyone, but I would especially hate to win a medal at the Olympics and then not be able have sex for two months.

These Games are shaping up to be a shit-show of Olympic proportions (sorry) between the virus, the political crisis, the pollution, the construction delays and security concerns. It’s going to be a global spectacle alright, but maybe not the sort they’re looking to host.

False. Hollywood reboots movies that absolutely do not need them all the time (and most of the time the trailers for those projects look like shit too). I can’t think of a single reboot that has attracted anywhere NEAR the level of vitriol as the Ghostbusters reboot. There’s almost nothing different from Ghostbusters…

Anecdotally, the number of women I’ve known over the years who’ve confided in me that they were sexually assaulted leads me to believe it’s at least 1 in 4.

Yep. It’s fucking exhausting. And almost impossible to tease out which has been worse—the outright criminal violence I’ve experienced or the lifetime of smaller wounds—the catcalls, being followed, being yelled at for rejecting someone, being gaslit, etc. etc.

Routine darkness - yes, this is it. I’m glad you’re acknowledging this. After hearing my women friends stories of sexism from coworkers, family (including outright rejection based on sexuality or weight), and assault...I just had this horrible visceral feeling of empathetic and internal trauma. Life for women is in…

General rule of thumb for dudes (coming from a dude):

It took me over 20 years to finally figure out that I didn’t just have a “weird reaction” to 2 glasses of wine and a shot of Jagermeister (my first and last because of this incident) at age 23. My friend, who was the bartender who gave me the drink, drugged it. Never had that reaction before or since—severe physical…

I was super lucky that my mom is kinda paranoid. Before I went off to college, a loooooong time ago she warned me about this very thing. Her other advice: don’t go upstairs, downstairs or anywhere alone with anyone at a Frat party/house party.

I wish there were some way to prevent men doing this,

Guys getting insulted by stuff like this drive me crazy. I have had guys been upset that I won’t have sex without a condom without test results because do they “look like someone who isn’t clean?” I have had a guy from a dating site totally go off on my mom and say really mean stuff to her because for their first…

“Men seem clueless at the routine darkness that women have to deal with in their lives, primarily because we never have to deal with it ourselves.”

I wish there were some way to prevent men doing this, but until that happens, if you have to get up from the table and go to the bathroom or something, get up and give your drink to the bartender. It might be inconvenient, but it also might save you from something truly horrific.
