I slightly agree, but in that I almost (ALMOST) feel sorry for this guy a little bit. He is clearly socially awkward and all these women are explaining their decision to go out with him as "it would be a fun anthropological study" etc. That doesn't excuse his dickish behavior, but I feel like some of these women are…

Can you please explain what exactly is the lady equivalent of "driving wherever I want with my doors unlocked?" Would it be walking around with my vagina on FULL display, or just in a skirt where it's easy to access? Or just looking like I have a vagina in general? I am unclear on what analogy you're making here.…

I think doctors are only legally required to provide care in life-threatening emergencies. In other cases, they can refuse. In this case, you have a young person who probably can't pay for serious spinal surgery, so they just refused to do the surgery for her. Kinda like how if you show up in the ER with a 105 degree…

No one is going to think you're a douche for having condoms ready. They will think you're a douche if you refuse to wear them at all because you're "too big" and they're "uncomfortable." You'd be surprised how many guys try to claim this as an excuse. I'm sure that for larger guys, the Magnums probably are more…

I'm sorry, but a "standard" size condom will fit an entire fist and forearm up to the elbow. I know because my roommate was a sex counselor at my college and she used to do this demonstration. Until I find a guy whose dick is the size of my forearm, I'm calling bullshit on the "this condom is too small" argument. I'm…

I was just going to say this. There is nothing in the article to suggest that Dana Loesch is disgusted by Harkin talking about menses. She is upset because she thinks Harkin is suggesting that all women need birth control because they can't make their own decisions about what remedies to take for cramps. She is trying…

Wait, they MADE you take birth control? I was on Accutane and they made me go in for monthly visits to take a urine pregnancy test and sign a questionaire about what contraceptives I used (they wanted you to either use two or abstain- I was a virgin in high school at the time) and sign that I understood the birth…

Agreed. Most people only eat meat because it's tasty, with maybe the exception of people who have numerous food allergies and can only get adequate amounts of protein/calories from eating meat. I don't see how that's different than hurting butterflies because they are pretty. Neither are necessary, people are just…

I don't really see a difference between eating something because it's tasty and harming a butterfly because it's pretty. Both are unnecessary harm to living creatures, so if you're against one, you should be against the other, too. I doubt very many people went into the exhibit with the intention of killing a…

I remember back when I was getting college offers (I graduated HS in 2004), UT-Austin offered me a full scholarship just because I was a National Merit Scholarship finalist. I didn't even apply. It came across as kinda sad and desperate. I didn't end up going, because my mom wanted me to stay closer to home, and I…

I'm glad you're asking this question. Honestly, even as a woman, sometimes I've wondered about the gray area in this issue. There have been times where I was drunk and hooked up with guys, but I never felt like I was raped. But there seems to be a school of thought that says that when a woman is intoxicated, it is…

I'm in an enclosed space full of men right now- my office. Pretty sure I'm not gonna get raped. But maybe I'm being naive and blissful.

Right, a person with good sense would stay locked up in their home and never go outside. They wouldn't even order food, because the delivery man (a stranger) might be a rapist. If their house caught on fire, they wouldn't call the FD, because the firemen might be rapists. If a rapist broke in, they wouldn't call the…

I hate to burst your bubble, but Komen is actually a pretty inefficient organization. In 2011, they spent 25% of their money on Administrative and Fundraising costs, or about 86 million dollars in 2011 (86 million!) 75% of their money went to "Program Expenses." About half of these Program Expenses are classified as…

I find it ironic that Booker's xoJane profile advertises that she has faked an orgasm, but yet THIS question is too invasive. I've found that people in NYC ask this question frequently just as a conversation-starter, since NYC is so diverse and people are usually happy to talk about their heritage. People ask me this…
