That's ridiculous. Referring to a woman as a "piece" has no other purpose than to dehumanize her. There is no equivalent reference for a man - "old man" doesn't even come close. That you were using the term to refer to the women your boyfriend slept with after he dumped you strongly suggests you didn't mean it…

Fuck I really hate when people refer to someone's girlfriend/lover as a "piece". Can we dehumanize women any further? I'm really sorry your BF did that to you, but the language used to refer to his subsequent women was not cool.

This may be true, but it ignores the fact that for off-camera jobs, being gay is NBD in Hollywood. The folks running the machine are pushing acceptance, but can only go as fast as the ticket buyers are willing to move. It's a process.

I had no idea we were related! Let's sit next to each other at the kid's table.

Off topic, but an acidic pH is not healthy and in fact may be linked to cancer. Your pH should be neutral or alkaline. You can buy test strips at home to check, and pretty easily turn your pH around by eating foods that boost alkalinity. http://www.cancerfightingstrategies.com/ph-and-cancer.…

Happens here, too. Try breaking free of your bubble some time.

"Yemen has been plagued for decades by a tradition of firing weapons in the air during wedding celebrations."

Newsflash: you don't get any decision making right over anyone's body other than your own. You may not like the decisions other people make, but that's not very relevant and certainly not a justification for stripping them of their rights. And it's not that people are pretending it's not an issue - believe me, it's…

YEAH!! IT'S ALL HER FAULT!! The idiots who keep impregnanting her aren't culpable AT ALL!!

Me too! Lol.

"We didn't ask him, we didn't make him uncomfortable, we asked the internet."

I'm touchy about it because when I looked at the picture, the first thing I wondered about was his eyes. Then I realized, it's none of my business. If I were a person with this characteristic, I wouldn't want people being "curious" about it. I would want them to pay attention to my character and my words. (Perhaps…

That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

You're right - it's none of anyone's business. And gossiping about it - even under the guise of "but someday it might happen to me!" is the height of rudeness. If it does someday happen to you, you will discuss it with your physician.

So, "I'm just curious as to why that woman is so fat" would be ok?

Yes.

Holy Mary Mother of God. (And I'm an atheist.) I had an appointment to get Essure and, for some unknown reason, changed my mind at the last minute. I just really felt it was the wrong thing to do. Well, guess what? I have a nickel allergy. I was never even asked about it. This would have been a DISASTER for me.…

Here's a solution: call the cops, and don't open the door. You're safe, and no one gets "accidentally" shot in the fucking face.

It can be. Depends on what the parties negotiate. I have a partner who LOVES to make me cry - except it's completely a game - I can fake it well, and am not really in distress. We both know that but it's fun to play.

The issue here is that they didn't use safe words. Which is an utter crock. "No" can mean a lot of things, including yes, when two people are playing within the boundaries of "consensual non-consent", but there absolutely, positively must be a safe word. Otherwise, there is a risk of what was a consensual encounter…
