I've just broken up with number 1 (I started late). I'll contact you in a few months to organize my party.

I have a friend that slept with 100 people, and we threw her a party LOL :) I have nothing against sluts, assuming they are just happily enjoying their sexuality. Ted is a creepy dude, though. And a Nice Guy. I don't like that.

Like "Hey, remember how the original Americans WEREN'T WHITE? And then we killed them with smallpox. MURICA."

I think part of it was timing: This song was starting to get radio play at a time when the Steubenville trial was very fresh in everyone's collective memory and debate was still raging about the verdict and discussions of rape culture were in high gear. And the video was offensive to a lot of people. Then reporters…

Nice idea, but you know those are all legally rape, right? It's called coercive rape.

I don't know but I'll take two and one of those sparkly dresses. I don't have anywhere to wear the dress, though, so my coworkers are just going to have to accept my elevating of the dress code. Get on my level, coworkers!

As a non-princess person who smiles a lot, no it does not hurt. It's great. Also, being crazy in love (hope you now have Beyonce's "Crazy in love" song stuck in your head) makes one feel like smiling even at inappropriate times. For example, being stuck in a tunnel on the metro, while other people are looking…

Ok, so only if there is a threat of violence it is considered rape? What about sexual assault? I am pretty sure that someone coercing someone else into a sex act is considered sexual assault.

You've gotten lucky then. A lot of entry level and low wage jobs (for example a fast food place) won't hire you if you don't have a mobile phone and therefore cannot be contacted reliably. If your accomodation is unreliable then try handing a potential employer a list of other people's phone numbers you MIGHT be able…

yeah, I was forced to get texting recently, despite not really being able to afford it, because, um, my BOSS kept texting me important work details and I need to keep my job.

This! What's the only think I can think of that would make my cell MORE essential to me? If I couldn't afford a computer.

Wait. How can a woman even let herself be raped? Doesn't the body have ways of just shutting down in the first place?

Once again, Jezebel, hire Kyosuke to write for you!

I just imagined someone shooting up that truck, very well knowing it was a decal and being all, "Oopsies, I thought it was for real."

You'll be fine. You would have noticed if it was bad. The bad ones exploded, tasted like wine, and were sometimes carbonated.

Absolutely! You got it! It truly isn't.
You (and anyone) will be fine on your own until you know what you want, and you happen upon the best person to mesh with you. Until then, the wrong people just suck the life out of you, and make you more unhappy and cynical. This is sensed by others even AFTER you get out…

I see where you're coming from, but I still think it compliments the overall point of the song. If it is to be equally offensive to men as Blurred Lines is to women, that is currently the only available language to use, which in itself speaks volumes.

That seems subjective, though, no? The original song has a lot of rapey lyrics, like "tear your ass in two" and things that, taken as a whole, perpetuate the general idea that women are sexualized things, not people. While castration would be extreme and awful, it's clearly a reaction to the original lyrics and ideas…

Everyone in the world is batshitfucking crazy. Every single one of them. This is why I stay inside a lot.

A company deciding they don't want to publish a book it dislikes is neither "suppression" nor "political correctness". They don't like it and they don't have to publish it if they don't feel like it. Forcing them to do so *actually is* a form of suppression.
