I work with a 30 yo woman who dates a 60 yo man, she went after him because she likes men much older. he is not loaded and they seem to be truly in love. I am 45 and my daughter is 25 so I to me it is just weird (shudder) but hey, to each his own.

Not only that, but finding out she did porn because a not-insignificant portion of the country wants to watch Rule 34, genderswapped Ted Cruz porn and your mom just happens to fit the bill to scratch that particular itch?

Well considering these people are from Mississippi, were on Maury for a paternity test and just agreed to film a porno... yea I think $10k will be enough to pay off their “house” and still have enough left over for a truck.

She did mention spending it on her son, which is great.

Yeah, finding out your mom did a porn would be mortifying. Finding out your mom did a porn, and explicitly stated she was doing if FOR YOU, would be incredibly difficult to process.

the shit that a not-insignificant amount of people in this country don’t know should shock and scare us all

The only part that baffled my personal elitist sensibilities is that she has somehow managed to have never heard of Ted Cruz even though he’s been running for president for the past 684 consecutive months. That’s a level beyond just “not following politics.”

If I ever decide to star in a porn, it will definitely because God willed it.

I know the answer will entirely depress me, but at some point Jezebel should do a poll asking how many female readers have been backed up/cornered by a man at work.

Musically (if not lyrically), it seems like when they have gotten it right, they REALLY gotten it right. Flea is my favorite bass player of all time (except my husband, of course). And when they don’t get it right, well, they suck. Hard. They haven’t gotten it right since Californication, and even then, only about…

IME, the shame is from a feeling that you were duping yourself into believing that your words and thoughts were valued rather than your physical attributes. How could you have so misread the situation? How could you have been so arrogant?

I have a 13 year old son and I want to beat the cowboy shit out of his dad for doing that.

I like a lot of it and hate a lot of it. Pretty much split right down the John Frusciante/non-John Frusciante line. I just spent some time googling and he’s apparently the only one who hasn’t been arrested for sexual misconduct, so I’m holding on to the hope that he’s a decent human being.

I lost my mom when I was 5. All I know of her has been filtered through other people’s memories (or agendas). I came across a photo of her looking frowsy, cigarette in hand, as I was at that exact moment. It was so nice to get a glimpse of her that wasn't perfect, because people rarely speak ill of the dead.

The Nick Cave quote from the article! He’s always been my favorite but sometimes the love just swells up. So sorry for every woman in the industry who had to deal with assholes like RHCP.

Very true.

I like BSSM and Mother’s Milk. I have seen thrm live twice and enjoyed both shows. That they’re misogynistic assholes is terrible and unfortunately, unsurprising.

That's because everything else they made sounds exactly the same.

Confession: I still think Blood Sugar Sex Magik is a great album. Everything beyond that I could really take or leave.

The weirdly ashamed part gets me. So sad that it’s normal.
