And now she'll get a major fucking smackdown while Richardson will get off scott free. (Literally.) Because it's always so much better to punish the transgressing female.

Got street harassed today by a dude who literally licked his lips as I was approaching and made some comment about how he'd love to be my boyfriend. I must've made a face because he suddenly looked indignant and told me, "Hey, it was a compliment" as I passed. To which I simply turned and gave him an incredulous look.…

Oh no this is an amazing idea and I for one can't wait until the Surprise Weddings Gone Wrong videos start trickling in.

No problem, comedy club. Hope it doesn't cause *you* an inconvenience. (tweets) (watches deluge of criticism rain down upon club) (laughs and laughs and laughs)

Well, he does now.

Zombie bite. Clearly.

She was in an impossible position and I thought she played it brilliantly, giving enough mention so as not to be disrespectful, then deflecting with a call to arms over a very sensitive issue. Bravo, Cate. Bravo.

Oh no Goldie! Can Hollywood ladies please stop with the stuffing of the faces? (And I ain't talking' about pizza.)

Lupita saw Tyson's game coming from a mile away. She totally shut him down. Lol.

Why why why do they do this? You tell them every which way but Sunday that their behavior is unacceptable (including saying, "Hey! Your behavior is unacceptable!") and yet onward they persist. Then when you've had enough and dump their asses, they're shocked - shocked! - and love you to eensy teensy pieces and will do…

I was describing them to a friend at the bar last night and she said, "So basically a trash can liner for your vagina." Apt description that doesn't do the service it provides justice. Lol.

Also E.T.

I recently tried the female condom for the first time. It's definitely different - bigger and sort of flops out of your vahoozle, but I have to say it rocked the box! No chafing or irritation, like with regular condoms. And my partner said he'll never use a traditional condom again, it felt that much better.

You can enjoy and practice monogamy AND acknowledge that it is a social construct. You want to say we're not socially conditioned to monogamy? When was the last time non-monogamy was portrayed as a viable option in sex ed? Or in the media?

Yes, of course! And you can have very deep emotions for someone with whom you have zero physical chemistry. If both parties are on the same page, poly can work really well under such circumstances.

So true! Sounds like it might have worked for you, even though it wouldt have worked for your SO. (And, by the way, telling someone that they can't get their needs met elsewhere when you're unwilling or unable to meet them is a Class A Dan Savage DTMA dick move. So glad you're shaking off that albatross!)

You'd be surprised at how much of it is. "Sex at Dawn" lays it out pretty well (so to speak).

Fair point. Although I think a lot of people would be surprised at how well it suits them, once they fight through the social conditioning of monogamy that's heaped upon us since birth.

I'm so sorry you're in this place. I second the therapist advice - even if only for yourself. Also, there's a good book with a horrible title that goes a long way toward explaining why this sometimes happens in relationships, the conclusion being, surprisingly, that a lot of the time it's the man's fault. The book is…

There's also a third, less talked about option, which is polyamory. Why throw away a wonderful relationship and a family unit because your physical needs aren't being met? Why can't you have both? The truth is, you can. Learning how is a bitch and completely changes who you are (in the very best ways, IMHO), but you…
