I like the author but for some reason found this particular piece quite hard on reading comprehension, I gave up in a few places.

I think the assumption is that because men don’t bother to list “having an orgasm” at number one, but clearly would if it wasn’t such a given for them, that communication is actually fourth on their list, thus lower in importance for them than for women, who list it third.

I still agree the article’s presentation is…

Knowing when to STOP talking is more important if you want your relationship to last.

I’m very sorry for what you went through, and I’m glad you found someone who you’re compatible with regardless of those issues. But I think you’re reading the OP’s comment wayyy too much through the lens of your own experience. For an overwhelming majority of couples, sexual compatibility is of huge importance, and…

Look, I’m very sorry by what you’ve been through but nothing in my comment was meant to be insulting and, besides, I’m merely agreeing with the study’s conclusions. But sure, I’m the one to blame for doing nothing more than saying that the study pretty much confirms what I’ve always thought: that good sex is an…

Blink. Blink.

Yeah, honestly, voting by mail makes it much easier to use menstrual blood in the process...

methinks many people read the headline and not the rest of the story...

bless all of you that 100% did not read this essay and yet commented angrily anyway about how you essentially agree with the point of the essay

Jesus, that was a rant and a half.

Congratulations to South Asians for graduating into the White Person Pretending To Be A Darkie While Committing A Crime category. They’re real secondhand American citizens now.

Thank you! I am one of those people who still consideres myself Catholic despite my disagreements. This articulates my feelings much more clearly than I have been able to in the past. I will be stealing your example in the future.

I’m a Title IX Coordinator (and a member of ASCA), and your read on how the position is usually an add-on to existing is accurate. I’m very fortunate that my institution has me doing solely Title IX work—I wanted to be a Title IX Coordinator, and I feel like this is a dream job. But if you go to the ATIXA survey of…

I work in Title IX administration (however, not as the Coordinator) and while that may be true at smaller universities it is certainly not the case everywhere. Larger universities have the resources to hire a TIX Coordinator to perform the duties full-time (rather than splitting their time across different positions).…

I think Laura Bush advocated for literacy (she saw the tragedy close up with W I guess). But I’m pretty sure Barbara was too busy instilling self-hatred and paranoia in her children to do anything else.

I always thought it was so I can outlive my husband and then turn into Blanch from The Golden Girls. Become a sassy cougar and enjoy the D, guilt free.

Because clearly, young men who want to attack your daughter in the restroom will find transitioning to another gender far easier than just, I don’t know, ignoring the designated sign on the bathroom?

The parents of trans girls don’t want their daughters to use the bathroom with young men who are going through their natural hormonal changes, either, especially since that poses far more of a risk to them than to a cis girl sharing a bathroom with a trans girl.

Riiight because having a baby isn’t selfish at all...

If someone needs a baby to realise the world doesn’t revolve around them, they’re probably a little way off from being mature enough to have one.
