Ugh this is so embarrassing.

I didn’t see it as a dig, quite the opposite. Faye Dunaway is a fucking legend but she doesn’t have the economic power to match, and the only explanation for that is sexism.

OMG. Now this is the kind of honesty and speaking truth to power that gets the power structure where it really feels it: in the wallet.

Oh, screw this woman. It’s a hard fall from her high horse.

Out of the grays with you.

Further, he is not the only person who uses those moves, however stupid they are. Dudes are dumb. It is known.

the editors of Babe were . . . courting a bad faith conversation

“present Grace’s story for what it is—a starting point to discuss the ways consent can feel blurring, no matter how clear we might wish it were, and our lack of language to describe this”

This is a valuable conversation and could have occurred in a better written piece. I also think a discussion about the blurred…

If only the plural of anecdote were data.

Ohhh, well if it worked for you then it must be true! :)

This. I mean, it’s basically a tech-ified version of the rhythm method, and we know how well that’s worked out for Catholics around the world.

I can’t believe they cited this as actual birth control. My app that I used four years ago warned that ovulation dates were an estimate and not to count on them absolutely. I was on a new bc and took my pill a few hours later and spotted. So I used my app’s calendar to use back up during the unsafe dates. Turned out…

Well duh, everyone knows (or should know) that tracking your fertility, even with an app, is an unreliable method of birth control. Back in the 1980s this was called the rhythm method. There was a joke, “What do you call people who use the rythym method?” “Parents.”

I’m sorry, but you don’t use a method with 7% failure and then act all surprised when you get pregnant. If only 492 other women use the app it can cause 37 pregnancies and still be within advertised thresholds.

Iowa is a shithole. Love, a Chicagoan.

Next will be a Muslim Pm. And a black king

Yes! I was being hassled in public at a music event by some old dude who “was just trying to be nice why are you getting mad!?!?” yet wouldn’t leave me alone. Dozens of people were within spitting distance of us but I couldn’t catch anyone’s eye for assistance. Some amazing petite woman about 7" shorter than me walked…

I’m a man. I recently intervened to help a woman who was being literally assaulted in a parking lot with at least a dozen people standing by watching. When I intervened, the guy turned his attention to me, which gave her time to get into her car and escape. Immediately after he and I were engaged, 8-10 people rushed…

“I screamed and told him to fuck off, nobody believed I was in danger.”

Also, please remember that it isn’t all about you. Even if you’re healthy as a horse and never get sick, you could still be getting it and while fighting it off, passing it along to an infant, an elderly person, or someone who is immunosuppressed/ immunocompromised. Literally any percent reduction in the chance of you…
