Gods-n-clods: I get what you're saying.. And kudos on being on the other side of this dark tunnel..

Look, I'm not gonna hate on you or troll you.. I don't know you and to an extent, I get what you're saying... I used to be the same way with my mom, until I started developing depression (yaiii genes!), and I've volunteered helping blood banks and I baby sit my nephews and try to help out to the best of my ability,

I was thinking about that. I think they usually have a larger bed with nicer sheets, but they used this one on this scene on purpose to convey the message of "we're uncomfy and in quite literally a tight spot"

I think you may be right on your article, but I also feel you were a bit harsh. The woman has a problem, a condition she's obviously still struggling with.. IMHO, it would be more constructive that knowing this information would drive us all to seriously discuss eating disorders and image problems, not bashing her

I have a bulimic friend, and even though I know little about exactly how you guys feel, I totally back everything you said in this comment. I think Jezebel is being a bit harsh here. I mean, girl has said some wrong shit, but knowing she has a legit problem, should make us talk about how bad these problems are and how

Yeah, I'm from South American and people ask me which part of Mexico is my country in? .... More ignorance of the basic geography of the fucking continent you live in than racial agression, but I always get the "You're too pale/white for a latina". And I'm like "Yeah, we're a fucking rainbow of beige and brown" and

Hahahaha! I thought the same thing, but then again... It's kind of in tune with what regular 90 year old couples look like. On my dad's side, my grandpa(RIP) couldn't fry an egg; on my mom's side, my grandpa helps with cooking and dishes..

Am I the only one who thinks that Huck is the only person in the world who can actually sound bad-ass saying "YOLO"?

In that case, it would be a very fine line I suppose..

Depending on the fuel capability, the might need to do a quick "pit stop" to refuel, not necessarily fly commercial though

I completely understand what you're saying, and I get why you might feel "there's a grey line", but my personal strategy is "brush off the drunk people". I am all "hey, guy, how about you call me tomorrow when you sober up?" or if the guy just had 1 or 2 drinks and speech and muscle coordination seem OK, I still make

What ladymoon said is right. Also, you tell her to fuck off! You don't let someone try to make you insecure of your sexuality to try and coerce you into having any kind of sex that's not 100% consensual just because of some stupid cultural pressure. If said girl hitting on you is an acquaintance and not just some

Totally agree. This is still in the right direction though.

I understand your point and yes, we should have ads also pointing out that taking advantage of drunk men is not cool; and like some other posted said "If you were passed out drunk, she may very well have raped you". That does not make this particular ad less valid, because there is a loooot of male on female violence,

How long before all the "Put that dog down" internet petitions start?

Exactly..

I think that this ad could've been used as in "If you buy alcohol to a minor to rape him/her, then not only are you going to jail for rape, you're also paying a fine for buying them alcohol"...

Artyoum: I think you summed it up pretty well. I'd only ask to include this the other way around, meaning that men should feel OK to say "No" without being deemed as less "macho", or gay or whatever other cultural pressure silliness, because even though there's a lot of male on female abuse, the reverse situation is

I understand the idea of "Be careful or your surroundings", "clutch your purse in the subway and other crowded places", "don't get so drunk you can't walk", to diminish the risk of being the victim of any crime, I do, and I try to always be careful and alert because the world isn't perfect, so it's OK that we try as

So, I'm a foreigner in college in the US. You know what I did last summer? Buy a few "Plan B" equivalents in my country. Much cheaper and no weird stares from the pharmacist. Mind you.. Abortion is illegal and it's a widely catholic country, but people seem to understand for the most part that birth control does not
