Fair enough.

Seriously, way to bury the lede .

Whoa, chill. It just seemed a little bit over-reactionary to call someone "fucking nuts" for even thinking about giving a kid raw milk. It's not rat poison. dcgirl13 sounded like her "friend" was considering committing child abuse. All I was saying was that I consumed it as a kid, I know lots of people who did as…

I just don't get what the outrage is about, honestly. How is it actively hurting anyone that raw milk is available and that I choose to consume it when I have the option? You sound like my mom committed child abuse by giving it to me when I was a kid. I grew up in Maine, and we got it from from friends who owned a…

Are you "fucking nuts"? Why would judge someone for giving a child something that is literally the most natural version of milk. Granted you have to handle it properly, but having consumed plenty of raw milk as a child (not all raw milk, but we had a good mix of farm and store-bought), and knowing lots of other kids…

Sorry, but this is a strange-bedfellow situation. I've never connected the two, I grew up with raw milk because I live near farms. I'm extremely pro vaccination (i.e. not crazy) and loooooove raw milk because it's fucking delicious. I mean, anti-vaxxers probably love honey too, should it be unavailable for that…

One of the reasons bulimia is so dangerous, and goes undiagnosed, is because you often don't see the drastic weight loss. I dealt with anorexia when I was younger and it was discovered when my weight got so low I passed out. From what I heard from the bulimics I was in treatment with, the health complications tend to…

Wow. Is she OK? I mean, are we sure her evil-robot operating system hasn't reverted to safe mode? Cause this is just — that thing about using your hands? We may have reached peak-WTF. I don't even have words!

We went to Sarah Lawrence (small school, insular, "liberated" sexual politics, much dramz). We had a couple classes together, and one of my friends had a very brief hookup thing with him. He definitely came off as an entitled rich kid who took full, skeevy advantage of the skewed gender ratio, so I pretty much steered…

Yep, sounds about right.

Fun tidbit: I went to college with Nev. He almost got expelled for punching a girl, until his parents basically bought his way back in. I shudder to think that of all the amazingly smart and talented people in my cohort he's the one who got "famous". Assholes (especially rich ones) always win.

That was my immediate reaction. Sure, it's a bit awkward and robotic — but at least it's not angry/misogynist, racist, or creepy! I've definitely met, and been hit on by, "this guy". In fact, my SO is a little like this sometimes. He recently disclosed that he actually tried to write a program to create a hierarchy of…

Of course you can't have a good movie without a good script, but it's just as true and way more common to see a great script get eviscerated, watered down, and made "one-dimensional" by a poor choice of director. And to your point about women being better at writing for women, say you have a script that depicts a…

Ugh, same here and rightfully so in my case. I hid it for a few months (luckily my bff had already gotten hers and showed me how to use a tampon and gave me some from her stash), but then she found a pair of panties I'd spotted on and thrown away. True to form, my super-Second-Wave mom went gaga over my entree to "the…

I'm not sure what you mean, but he's been listening to me rant about this issue for years (it's sort of what I do for a living). We're actually getting hitched soon. So yeah, I definitely know I'm lucky to have found someone who actually sees the fact that I'm passionate about the things I care about as an attractive…

My SO and I joke about how he's a Feminist in Training. Just last night we were talking about how much shit women get when they report rape, and he said something like "but a false rape claim is way worse for a guy so burden of proof should be higher." I gave him a withering glare and launched into my diatribe about…

My SO and love to watch these shows together. It's so heartwarming when he leans over and whispers "I love you so much I promise never to kill you in your sleep and then try to dissolve your body in battery acid."

Seriously, ugh. Is this kind of bullshit what we have to look forward to in the Bezos era of WaPo? Katharine Graham must be spinning in her grave!

Hey Jezzies, help me out! I need some advice re: dealing with casual (or not so casual) racism and friend's SOs. So, Memorial Day weekend my boyfriend and I were invited to go Jones Beach with one of his bffs and the bff's new gf, who has a car (serious luxury in NYC). I'd only hung out with New GF on a couple other…

I have been to FCA Bible studies similar to the one described in this article and I just wanted to address a few misconceptions that I think most readers from a secular background have. Hopefully this doesn't come across too preachy.
