Oh for fuck's sake, just go to a nude beach, man.

Excellent piece, Tracy. As a non-parent, I don't have a frame of reference for myself, but you're absolutely right - I think demystifying the vagina/penis is an essential part of combating rape culture. It lessens the taboo of talking about these things, and is the right track to teaching our children behaviors and

On a more serious note, I hope teaching folks not to rape catches on at an earlier age than young adulthood.

I don't think "triangle" is part of the Greek alphabet

Exactly. The "loud" part got me too - how many times have I been walking when someone mumbles under their breath to me about my boobs/butt/vag and what exactly they'd like to do? That wouldn't be covered under the provisions as they're listed here.

I just don't want to have to record all my walking to/from work, to/from the grocery store... Why are we still putting the burden of proof on the victims of these situations?

I also worry about how police are going to be about folks who report this - what's their training with handling situations like this? Because, in my experience, they aren't great with harassment or threats of any kind, and I have a horrible feeling they're going to be pretty dismissive of cases like this.

I worry about the vagueness of the guidelines outlined here. Also - burden of proof. Won't this come down to a he-said-she-said sort of deal?

Right?! I mean, I know I'm as guilty as expecting things on the internet to be instantaneous (what do you MEAN I can't watch the new ep of America's Next Top Model RIGHT NOW?), but dude. Chill. I gotta get paid.

As I was reading this post, I literally got a message on OKC from a guy I went on a date with on Sunday. He had texted me yesterday when I was having a hellish day at work, and I was literally *just* about to text him back when I got the message on OKC: "I guess you're not interested..."

HER LEGS MAKE A TRIANGLE TOO!! ALERT ALERT

Also, I just want to point out that Sochi won for LIGHTING DESIGN despite having failed to light up the Olympic rings properly during the opening ceremony.

I do not even care if this is an unpopular opinion, but I am so mad Sherlock won over the Normal Heart in so many categories. Did anyone actually enjoy series 3? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

Sure, get rid of the screens. Then give us AC plugs instead.

yeah!! I mean - was this like a catfish thing? Come on, dude.

As bitter as I am about Firefly still, I'm more upset that they continue to renew the Big Bang Theory. Seriously??

My theory is that he was thrusting around and chanting "I want to put a baby in you" for 5-10 minutes. (Video at the link.)

It would bar college athletic departments from handling sexual assault complaints against athletes
