It won't be cynical if you recognize that men have been dealing with the "can I trust my partner?" question since The Pill was released.

There is nothing funnier than a rape joke, people! You are all wrong.

Yeah, Jezebel tends to ignore that the PUA thing wouldn't have gone from one asshole in a stupid hat 10 years ago to being a pretty big deal if guys weren't getting laid doing it.

how does that make me a bad person? and how is it any different from picking up girls in the first place? I don't coherst these girls into having sex; I don't manipulate them - I just know how to 'seal the deal'. It's ALWAYS consensual. But please elaborate on what's wrong with doing anything like this because I'm…

Unfortunately the PUA stuff actually works. I've studied it for years and can tell you from first hand experience - girls fall for it most of the time.

Oh, come on. Assuming the women in question have higher brain function, it's not that hard to infer what the conscious, specific avoidance of the word DATE (and all the attached expectations and implications regarding that outdated ritual) means as far as casual interest vs serious long-term interest.

This hits SO close to home. I was "hanging out" with a guy who I was not romantically interested in. Like, stupid me, I thought he wanted to be my friend. The night we met he was a little over-affectionate, but he was drunk so I thought nothing of it and he didn't try to kiss me or anything. The thing is we'd both use…

If you meet up with someone from a dating site, you are going on a date. :headdesk:

You need to change your username to Stevewellinformedandpossessinggoodsocialskills. Stevewiapgss is also acceptable.

Isn't it a good thing that they're spending $30,000 on a hotel room though? The economy grows by people spending right? That's what the Keynsians tell me

Today someone gets offended by anything. We live in a world where everyone expects a apology. I think if the girl being sat on is not offended everyone else should shut the fuck up.

Communist.

its ok. this entire "experiment" is bullshit anyways.

"Queer theory"

Isn't a hearty "nonapology" still better than what Jezebel.com has offered regarding the you know what fuck up?

Could we please get back to the critical issue in Jez's sex coverage: shaming of anyone who'd ever consider acquiring a Fleshlight (or similar toy)?

I call bs on this whole notion. I'm sorry but I can't believe in fashion's appropriation/aping of fabric, colors and styles of every culture on the planet (and a few that might be off-world) to be racist because there is no racist intent and that is what racism is. "Oooooooh, pretty!" Is not racism.

This bullshit has got to stop! Everybody can wear whatever they want to wear if it looks awesome. If you think war bonnets look awesome - wear them! If you think burkas look awesome - wear them! If you think Nazi uniforms look awesome - wear them! And most importantly: Ignore the cultural and historical context of…

Don't ask these questions here, because no one here has the answers beyond person biases, dem feelz, white guilt, parroting something their radfem anthropology professor told them, and social justice zeitgeist.

"This is because cherry-picking certain aspects of cultures and turning them into fleeting trends occurs across a matrix of power that reflects and reinforces centuries of ignorance and oppression."
