Paglia's the sort of person who views injured people as weak when she hasn't experienced the same injury. She jests at scars that never felt a wound. Also, her fetishisization of men is pretty disgusting. Does she still think rape is something grand and wild and the result of untamed bacchanalian ardor? She, Katie…

Memo to Macy's Parade Float Team

This makes me sad. I mistakenly assumed that the badass Goldieblox ad was crafted with the blessing of the Beasties. So now I'm kind of irritated with both sides. The toy company should have gotten permission. DON'T STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S TOYS, toy company marketing life skills to kids. Beasties, we need more girls in…

I don't care if Goldie Blocks is selling serum to cure cancer with unicorns. You don't steal other peoples' work. Period.

But how hard is it really to ask? To cover your bases and to honor and respect that someone else worked hard on it first before you rip it?

OK that does it. I have been considering adopting a dog for over a year, but since we only have space for a small dog, I have been wavering. I did not realize that there were so many little fellas in need of a home! Welcome to NYC, little dogs! One of you is going to come and live with me.

Yeah when I lived in Arizona they played endless warnings around 4th of July that shooting in the air was not a good thing.

"Yemen has been plagued for decades by a tradition of firing weapons in the air during wedding celebrations."

She, walks in, and I'm suddenly a hero!

I weirdly hope this space becomes a pop-up roller rink. And that, in its last moments, Kira and the Muses rollerdance until their skates smoke as the whole thing fades to black.

Brav-fucking-o. This is both terrifying and uplifting. Thank you for taking action to give some power back to these victims. You are one smart, motivated, ballsy woman, who anyone would want in their corner at a time of crisis. I hope you write a best-selling novel and get huge bucks for the movie rights to boot,…

I just so happened to stumble across this article this morning. When Women Wanted Sex Much More Than Men And How the Stereotype Flipped is an interesting counterpoint to this idea that we of the more fair and frigid species should just lay back and take one for the team.

I feel like saying "well, women don't need orgasm" is a way of letting men be selfish. It takes me a while to come, it takes me a while to come by myself, I need specific parts stimulated but I'm really bossy and I make sure those parts get stimulated and we use condoms so he lasts longer (condoms get a lot of hate…

If these are the flying cars we get, after all this time, I don't want one.

AMEN! You and ToHelenBackAgain both bring up a salient point: some women get there more easily than others. And I'm not suggesting that there has to be this universal standard of how and when someone orgasms. But if your partner gets off and then thinks it's time to go make a sammich, that's bullshit. I feel like…

I, too, had no problem obtaining this wine...in Minneapolis, no less. And it sucked. Had a rose from Germany for 1/2 the price that was much better.

I agree with you. Of course, if you're a woman who has problems with orgasming, it's more complicated. But I think the default expectation should be that both partners get to orgasm, and I think for many, that's not the default. The default is, "of course the man will get to come, and maybe the woman will, if she can…

oh sorry, somebody beat me to it. Carry on in peace.

This one guy I dated said "It's OK if you don't have one because most women never do." I was like..."That's not OK with me!" I also said something to the effect of—"Ever considered the fact that you're doing it wrong?!?! That's quite a coincidence!"

Wow, from a girl who has had an orgasm every time I've had sex this is news to me. I guess I can't see it any other way. Maybe my approach to casual sex is also different. Orgasms are the goal for me. I can hug someone if I just need physical intimacy. If we're having sex I'm getting an orgasm or you won't hear from…
