I don't think a renaming is particularly useful.

If I had to guess, since I don't remember any incident, I would say I probably first realized I was a girl when it was explained to me what a girl was. I don't see what difference a person's perception of themselves would make in the reality of whether they are male or female. I am certainly not a woman because I…

I'm pretty prepared to completely laugh my ass off. We've gone back to diagnosing women with freaking hysteria?! Oh how quickly we regress...

I think that was mentioned because almost all starlets and models claim that. That is by far the most common answer to that question. For some of the people, sure, it probably is true, but statistically it's really unlikely it true for ALL of the Hollywood types that say it so at least a good number of them are lying…

It's impossible to know, which I why I said "I wonder." Honestly there's no way for you to know any better than I do what's in anyone else's head, so I don't think that it makes sense for you to imply that you do.

You said you're not a fan of the behavior in question. Why not, if not for any of the reasons I've stated? I have listed all of the reasons I can think of to assume that a person would be averse to it. You just said that those were outdated and incorrect, so what's the modern line on the subject? When did the view on…

I don't think that it's a stretch that unless taught otherwise a man would have absorbed the dominant cultural views of women. Why wouldn't they?

I said quite clearly I don't think respectable woman and woman of ill repute are real categories of women. But the men that women (that are straight and bisexual) sleep with almost always do. It takes two to tango, so the experience is not just defined by one partners experience of things. The only reason that the…

That's the way I understand it as well. I know people who would swear that they don't have a problem, they just need booze/pot/whatever to deal with things and I'm thinking "doll, that IS the problem." As far as I've been made aware, it's not how functional a person is or even how much they consume it's how the…

Chastity Ann Garfied?

I agree with you. I think it would be much more awesome if instead we were working on getting more money to organizations that provide scholarships to women that don't require them to get tarted up and dance for them. How cool would this article have been if it congratulated their academic achievements and listed…

Oh honey! That's so sad.

So often on this website there are articles and comments full of how fun and harmless binge drinking is and I personally never find them funny and they make me uncomfortable. Both of my parents are addicts, and it sucks, and it sucked my whole life. My last boyfriend was an addict and he's just stopped stalking me…

National Enquirer is quite often right; truth can be stranger than fiction.

Yes. I like sex, but I survive fine without it when I'm not having it. I wouldn't be able to live without affection, so if they were no hugging no kissing about things too we'd have an issue, but without sex? Sure.

I honestly think that the violence is far more potentially damaging than swearing or naked bodies if you're talking about exposure of children to things. Between the graphic physical violence, mutilated bodies, and regular incidents of varying degrees of sexual violence on television I think there are plenty of things…

It's what happens when women with C cups and above do anything more vigorous than walking without bras. Sorta like a water balloon ninja fight.

Because PETA knows that people are more likely to look at ads featuring naked women than ads not featuring naked women and have shown an ongoing willingness to exploit women in order to protest the exploitation of animals.

You know how those right wingers feel about children being employed: it's a win for everybody.

You're painting a straw argument by misconstruing my words. What I think has nothing to do with what motivates someone else's choices. If what they're thinking is "I get to degrade this slut, PARTY" and what I'm thinking is "I get to assert my sexuality by transgressing my society's ideas of appropriate sexual…
