This is so like, 1950's Don Draper on the phone with Betty's shrink.

or your husband gives you written permission.

...does this article begin with the word "But"?

Or Trophy Wife!

But it's one thing to look hot in a really sexy dress or amazing pair of jeans; it's another to look hot and somehow put together/stylish while wearing tennis shoes and a fanny pack.

I read this article instead of doing work. Oops.

I'm assuming the implication was that the neighbor was either responsible for 'benefitted' from the camera?

That can totally be true of the "stat rape" of a consenting 15 yr-old by an 18-yr old. A fully grown adult is a different story. Also, this video isn't saying every incident of statutory rape is traumatizing, this video is skewering the idea that men always want sex no matter what, because that is simply not true.

yes, by hosting videos like that, jezebel is clearly perpetuating that idea.

Yay! Thank you!

Yeah...I have a 10-month old niece; I'm hoping by the time she's four or so they've either seriously upped their game or another company has followed in their footsteps.

And then there are places that ban "unnatural" hair colors but also want everyone's hair to be nice and straight/tame!

Also, while young women definitely fall for shitty people bc of the confidence thing, it is also totally possible to be both genuinely nice and confident, so it's never being "too nice"…

Your first sentence cannot be said enough.

Ahhh man I missed an Archer reference!

...and pop culture, which, again, is actually a really important thing. But yes, anecdata does not mean "everyone does this." It does however at least chip away at the claim that "no one ever thinks this." If you are unsure, spend five minutes digging around online.

All those things! I don't find that sentence derailing, but I think your reading of it is also totally legitimate and understandable; I also think a relationship growing out of a friendship is ideal, but actually have the opposite problem from you — I find it so utterly nerve-wrecking to risk potentially messing up a…

I *do* see why that sentence is a problem, and I certainly cannot say what Munroe's intentions were (bc intentional fallacy!), only what mine would have been in writing it. I have plenty of dude-friends, and I have developed crushes on some of them, and some have developed crushes on me, and I've taken a stab at a…
