Agreed. And the whole time I was reading that article I was thinking about the woman who bled into the bikini in the first place, wondering if she had an awful "accident" and had to scramble to ask strangers for tampons or walk back to her car with a sweatshirt wrapped around her ass.

Solidarity, friend. I quit last October and this past Saturday night I smoked a cigarette in a drunken moment of weakness. It tasted like shit and I can still feel it in my lungs.

Well, for trauma, this is actually really incredibly normal; acting "distressed" is a little bit less common. It's not just "emotions aren't a good indicator of crimes", it's "this is exactly how you would expect a rape victim to act."

The majority is rakes aren't even reported because victims legitimately fear they won't be taken seriously and that their name and sexual history will be dragged through the mud. The unspoken requirement to behave like some random judge feels they should behave is just the icing on the cake.

If you Google the Keep a Breast Foundation, which peddles these bracelets, you'll see that they claim to raise "awareness." They don't donate money to breast cancer research. In fact, they've gotten a lot of flak for donating almost nothing (anywhere from $6K to $100K) in grants while having raked in $5 million in…

But they do it by objectifying. Instead of saving women, the messages on the shit that people buy is that we should save either the lumps of fat and tissue that are boobs or a man's enjoyment of boobs.

This case is asinine but, as the daughter of a mother who died of breast cancer, I'm sorry but I have absolutely no time and not much tolerance for "I Heart Boobies" bracelets or "Save Second Base" tee-shirts or "Save the Ta-Ta's" bumper stickers. Save a woman's life — that should be the message.

Same here...all through my 20s and early 30s I'd say something about being so out of shape and I'd get argued with "oh, stahp, you are so thin!" and I'd argue, yes, yup, I look cute in my little jeans, but I can't walk around the block without huffing like an 80 year old smoker and I'll probably drop dead from heart…

I am crying. That is the best fart description I've ever heard.

That's the bystander effect. It's the reason why I always assume no one else is going to call 911 or do anything about an emergency so I make sure I call.

You know, I get that the lady, as an adult, might have overreacted... But only maybe and only slightly. I realize my statement will not make me popular, but those of us who saw the unedited video with the little girl using some very choice spanish curse words know that it isn't just a case about a woman "punching" a…

I got into an argument over this on another forum, but as a former vet tech, what galls me is that the doctor allowed this. It required that the dog be kept under anesthesia for the tattoo, which occurred after the surgery. MAJOR surgery, that resulted in a large amount of blood loss, dangerously low body temperature,…

I never thought much about tonsils because mine were removed when I was too young to even remember. Then one day I learned about tonsil stones via the internet and I am So. Freaking. Grateful. to never have to deal with them. You have my sympathies!

Debating whether I have a mustache and, if I do, questioning whether other people see it.

I also think we should shift the school day from 7-3 to more like 9-4 or 10-5. Because we are not an agrarian society nor are we a manufacturing society anymore. Most people go to work from 9-5, excluding the service industry (which is huge, I give you that). But think how much we could save on after-school and…

For everyone who is wondering why this show is still on the air, I attribute it to Jesse Williams. I watch it just to see his beautiful face

Ok, but my point still stands. In some feminist circles there's a really heavy focus on Barbie as if she has this monumental effect on women's lives, when in the vast majority of cases I would bet she doesn't even make the list of top 50 influences. If you went around and asked female doctors whether they played with…

I would argue that you need to know how academics write in college, which high school does not really teach either.

What the ever loving fuck? A man, with all that money, and access to the top tattoo artists in the world. And his collection of body art looks like he was letting Lil' Twist try out his new tattoo gun.

My Gyno once did a rectal exam and mused, "Hmmm, a little stool there." I replied, "What did you expect? Strawberries?" Seriously, her fingers were in my poop hole, so duh.
