OMG this is so profoundly stupid. Up until the last 100 years or so, women were treated like property. What women found attractive didn't matter—they married whomever they were told to marry because they were property. There was no mythical past in which women had some kind of evolutionary fuck party and only the mean…

I agree that that sounds mostly class-based than anything else. I was in a sorority and fuck all that. Some sororities, i'm sure. There are all sorts of groups of terrible people everywhere, but I swear to god almost all sorority women I've ever met are great, honest to god good people who spend nearly every free…

"Is it because the "dime pieces" are literally the only ones on your radars?"

What is it about our society that has allowed these guys to go from those feelings of hurt/rejection to advocating rape?

This makes me physically sick.

THIS.

Unfortunately, Pat Mainardi's Politics of Housework is still mandatory reading on this topic. Maybe things will change eventually, but it's taking a long goddamn time.

I had this discussion with my husband, where we tested how close his knees could get before squishing his.... stuff. I told him to start from "splayed" and slowly bring his knees together and tell me when things get "uncomfortable." After going essentially to <90 degrees, he told me it was getting uncomfortable - when…

Excellent point. We also know public transport was designed to be the most comfortable form of transportation in the world, and that no one is ever forced to sit in an uncomfortable way on it. If someone DID have to be uncomfortable ever on public transport, it should definitely be a woman though, because men…

You're looking for logic in religion. Stop before you hurt yourself.

The whole "self-supporting" schtick is their most noxious lie, IMO.

Thoughts re: this family

I'm a gun owner and I do open carry sometimes (when hiking in certain back country areas) and I don't even get the whole "open carry whenever, wherever" thing. I'd rather not be wondering if the jackass at the next table is going to get drunk and pull his gun on someone.

If you're not happy with your current relationship, moving to an open one pretty much just means "permission to shop around for my next partner while avoiding the bad feels of having to sleep alone after a breakup."

Ha! I had a dude once suggest that I lose 20 pounds. I said, "Guess what, I am losing 180 in the next five minutes." I then told him to fuck right off.

[sputters incoherently] But, but, but! False! Health is determined by what gives me boners! That's just science. Learn a book, already. Evolution means that... hunter-gatherers prefer...my boner dictates that......what was I saying?

ok, I've calmed down a little. I'm going to say this and then I'm going to delete every response you post back to me; fair warning, ok?

Toddlers are awesome. I remember when my kid was a baby and I complained about how hard/thankless it was, everyone would say "oh, it's only going to get harder!"

All teachers should understand this: administrators are not your friends. They are your bosses and they will throw you under the bus if it serves their purpose. The ones who stick by their teachers are rare. I say this with my current administrator being almost like a mom to me- outside of work. At work, she will let…

different cultures, but in england, certainly in the westcountry, cider was always the drink of choice for working men, farmworkers in particular. its stronger than beer, easy to make and tastes nice.
