Gimme those Christian Side Hugs!

As someone who's constantly defending the "people should be treated like adults and given +1s" because I was single or dating when all my friends got married, yours is basically the way EVERYONE should do it. I got really annoyed at a friend for whom I was the bridesmaid - I didn't get a plus one and was flying…

I've seen this happen so many times in the recent past, it makes my head spin a little. It sucks that you had to find that out about your Dad and that he was kind of a jerk when it came to childcare, but what I find disheartening is how much this hasn't changed. I have *so many friends* who's partners pay lip service…

This is an amazing video. Not only does he skewer the idea that men can't be raped, but he plays so well with the nuance that in many cases when it's children being taken advantage of (male or female) that the encounters can feel good physically. This aspect can add a whole layer of confusion to the abuse because I…

I had no idea that cheap Tuesday wasn't a thing in the US... cheapy Tuesdays FTW!

Benji Schwimmer (of SYTYCD fame) did this super long interview (5 hrs!) about growing up in the Mormon Church, dancing and coming out as gay a couple of years ago. The second part focuses mostly on his experience on SYTYCD and it's FASCINATING. Everything is rigged by the producers - for instance, they say that they…

When I starting school back in the late 80's (in Canada) you had to have all your vaccines in order to be admitted to school. And you had to go to school (unless you were homeschooled, which was much less common back then). You could attend without being vaccinated if it was for good reason (i.e. my friend is…

This happened to me too! I was an early bloomer too - I got my period when I was 11 and had a C cup by the time I was 15. When I went to college, I had another spurt that wasn't due to weight gain (because I lost weight in my first year because I lived in a dorm of apartments where you didn't have a meal plan) In…

He does seem genuine, I think it's because his brand of comedy leans towards making people smile, instead of the usual snarky late show comedy to insult people.

It's people like Evelyn who can show us that getting older doesn't mean we have to stop leading meaningful and productive lives. And yes Evelyn, I will have tea and a muffin, because I'm sure they're AWESOME.

I thought that seeing my friends breastfeed was going to be super weird (my friends are all having/had their firsts in the last year or so). So not super weird! More like super cute.

But that has nothing to do with what he's saying. There's this type of gentrification going on in the city that I live in. There's just this sort of thing happening with a very popular music venue in a gentrifying neighbourhood. The place has been having shows and concerts for over 20 years. When they first moved…

This is, hands down, the best part about being in the sciences. No gives a crap about how you look, and when you do dress up there is the inevitable question from your labmate: "Do you have an interview" or more likely "Oh, you must have a presentation today, when is it? I'll come and sit in the back and make funny…

I'm not trolling at all. Jezebel doesn't claim it's a feminist website so it can get away with things like the Lena Dunham shenanigans or 50% of what Doug Barry writes. Sure, many of their writers write from a (sometimes very problematic) feminist viewpoint and I'd say most of the writers consider themselves…

"Celebrity, Sex, Fashion for Women. Without Airbrushing"... I don't see the word "feminist" anywhere.

These post about feminism on Jezebel always make me snerk.

"Odds are you won't hear many teen moms who opted to have and keep their kids say that they regret having them."

DING DING DING!!! You win the prize.

Booooo! She's a main reason I watched FITA...but yes, with all the messed up sex that goes on, she'd be a little young...
