My, how times have changed... In 1995, I got outed to my mother (who promptly lost her damn mind and acted like a total asshole), and in 2015, people are being outed by their mothers.

The one thing stripper shoes gets totally right is the elevated platform. The illusion of wearing crazy high heels but really only having a 1-2” heel/toe incline makes them surprisingly comfortable in comparison to standard heels.

Oh god, did her ankle break, or did it just look like it?

Dear people calling mama an “opportunist,”

Oy. People can’t win, can they? So here you have a “rich and entitled” kid who DOES get abused by the police and people are mad she’s using her means to sue them. She specifically said, “if you have the privilege and the means to pursue legal action, you should.” How is this a bad thing? Many people cannot sue, they…

Tell that to some other commenter who thinks she just needs to shrug it off cause it’s not so bad if you’re rich.

“if you have the privilege and the means to pursue legal action, you should”

Tomorrow we’re going to wake up and this will turn out to be a viral marketing stunt for the next dumb Fox reality series.

Well, then why even bother with the spoon when you have a perfectly good finger? I was trying to keep it civilized! :)

OK. Where to start. I think we can agree that no one wants to be called a racist. I suspect Tracy understands this, given the insanely long disclaimer/preamble promising that even though she's calling certain people racist it's not a Southern thing (because she's from the South! She knows people there drink pressed…

The word you're looking for is "genteel." "Gentile" means non-Jewish.

Here's the thing: of course people are horrifyingly racist in the Northeast. I grew up in Massachusetts and have lived in NYC for ten years, and I've experienced off-color jokes, comments about how my students must live or act because of their race, and innumerable acts of "benevolent" or institutional racism. But…

If knowing about pressed juice and quinoa is the key to being forward thinking, please shoot me now.

Your empathy and compassion are inspiring. If you "freak out" if it looks like you're gaining ten pounds, your relationship with food and body image might not be that healthy, either.

I'd attribute it to the rise of certain Christian demographics that believe "abstinence until marriage" is the only way to go about things... because if you think anal or oral "don't count", it's a way to get around the abstinence rule and have sex without making Jesus have a sadface.

Relationship question regarding oral sex: So I have "a friend" who can generally only get off to oral (unless I'm . . . ahem, she is getting off solo, of course, which she can do pretty quickly). Her boyfriend is rarely "in the mood" for it. She's talked to him about that, because she doesn't want to pressure him into…

@CassandraSays: I couldn't agree with you more about everything you just said!

When I watch porn, I'm looking for my lost soul and my bygone youth.

This one is obvious. Men can SEE what's happening when they have sex. Of course women were looking at genitals - when's the last time you got a bird's eye view of what was going on during sex? Like, never?
