That’s exactly what the defense used to pretty much destroy the case against Jian Ghomeshi in Canada. Yes, it’s fairly common behaviour among rape victims, but in the Ghomeshi case the Crown wasn’t smart enough to pre-empt it and bring in experts to make that point. Again, not disputing your argument that it doesn’t…

It’s called politics in the real world.

I never said you did. You asked why these things with Zendaya keep getting dragged on and on and I said I think it’s because other women take it upon themselves to make it about them and their own causes. Osbourned had an axe to grind with Rancic, and Roxane Gay has her own agenda and I clearly said she’s the one who…

Was the headline designed to tell the Jez masses that it’s still ok to like Broad City even though they’re not voting for Bernie?

That’s 2 times. Hardly a pile on. It went on and on because other people jumped in and felt the need to make it about themselves (like that moron Kelly Osbourne). Or, in this case, Roxane Gay who had to make up a racial element out of thin air - Klausner was an idiot to pick on a girl half her age about her weight but…

I read it as snark about how after the Rancic comment, Zendaya became the spokeswoman for body positivity and diversity and Klausner’s snarking by saying that all of that was just bullshit because here she is starving herself just like every other fashion victim starlet in Hollywood.

“Pile on”? Rancic made a stupid comment like 2 years ago and now this chick made a comment about her looking super skinny (and let’s face it, most starlets are and face a lot of pressure to be very thin). Big fucking deal. That’s not what I call a pile on.

You know, I want to feel bad for Tran but at the same time I’m a little bit like, well, what did you think was going to happen? It’s hard to feel sorry for a woman who hooked up with this asshole after the photos of his girlfriend’s bruised and battered face were seen around the world. It’s not like she had no idea…

Even if she can’t the father has a right to see his kid and she’s the one who fucked off to Alaska from where she was living with him. If that means she has to stop breastfeeding altogether and switch to formula, them’s the breaks. I get that breastfeeding is ideal and all that but it doesn’t trump a father’s rights…

Oh my god I’d forgotten how awesomely horrific that song is. Thank you for reminding me.

As fucking horrific a name as Spurgeon is, it isn’t even near the top of the list of bad decisions these people have made, and will continue to make.

Of course it was a publicity stunt! I mean, that was evident the minute they offered him final approval over the final product. El Chapo didn’t even have to ask for it. Sean Penn and his massive ego and even more massive levels of denial re: the selflessness of his activist pursuits, is probably the only person out…

At least those women, if they do go to the police, won’t be arrested. No one ‘likes’ the reality of prostitution. That’s not the point. But making it illegal won’t make it go away, and you have to base your reasoning on what will do the least amount of damage to sex workers and give them at least some degree of…

I share your concerns about the commodification of mostly female bodies. On a theoretical level, I agree that consenting adults have the right to sell their bodies if they want to. But I know the reality of prostitution is never - or at least extremely rarely - about empowered women choosing to have sex for money. For…

That’s really interesting. Do you know if the study has been replicated or if other studies have found similar findings?

My best friend is like that too. If she’s not with someone she won’t ever masturbate either because she needs to be with someone to get turned on in the first place. For me, starting as a kid, it was movies and books that gave me my first introduction to sex.

I actually said the same thing in another comment. For me, it probably would be a deal breaker because I get off from intercourse more intensely than I do from oral. Different strokes. Literally.

Huh? What is this, the 1950s? I’m pretty sure Cambridge has, like, hospitals and stuff.

I don’t know. I’ve accepted I’ll always be grey, and pleasantly surprised I haven’t been banned in a while.

I think part of the problem is we always measure penis size by length but girth matters a lot as well. I’ll be more disappointed by 6" of pencil than by a chubby 5".
