women know how to touch women

One reason I suggest, is that porn showing women with other women is most likely to depict women being touched in ways that would really feel good. I find most straight porn is kind of a turn-off since the woman either isn't shown being aroused or isn't being touched in a way that would feel good to me. And the prerequisite to all this is that when we watch porn, women tend to empathize with the other women on the screen, which may be another reason they react to lesbian porn even if they aren't sexually attracted to women.

I call bullshit

The idea that bigger = better being linked to increasing a woman's pleasure is wrong for two reasons:

1. Being poked in the cervix does not feel good. Stab cervix repeatedly with penis = no female orgasm; probably no subsequent sex either.

2. The clitoris is on the outside of the vagina. Stimulating clitoris = orgasm.

I think most vaginas are like 4 inches long or something small like that? Larger circumference does make sense only because it stretches the lips out more, subsequently exposing the clit to more stimulation during the thrusting. However this kind of stimulation can be just as easily caused by certain positions or angles, or lending a hand or a finger. (When the Rolling Stones sang "Under My Thumb" they were actually giving you a bit of technical advice; now you know!)

This is why sexism pervades

In response to a blog about the racist pin "his Web site was hacked, he was threatened, and the Texas Republican Party – his biggest customer -- said it would never use his services again. He received so many abusive calls that he had to disconnect his phone."

If this man walked up to a black man and called him a nigger, he would get punched in the fucking face. What if he walks up and calls a woman a bitch? Nobody's scared of women, that's why there's still sexism out in the open. We have to punish people for being sexist, have them arrested, kick them in the fucking nuts for it, hack their websites, etc. Make people afraid to threaten women and to be openly sexist.

the point is

The point is that they shouldn't be in college in the first place, they should be at home making babies and cooking dinner.

he's lying

The proof that he's lying is in his explanation of the photos of a Mexico vacation. For one, he offers two choices to explain why the photos don't prove he's lying: "Maybe they were taken before the abortion, I dunno.." and "Oh what a coincidence that she was in the same place in Mexico on vacation the same time I went there!" The second excuse is the real give-away, because .. yeah, right. So he's just made himself sound like a real creep, and he tooootally could have played this up to reinforce his pro-life creds.

Remember, this is the group that doesn't think it's hypocritical at all if the reason you want to take away all women's right to choose is because you had an abortion that you then regretted. He could even make some kind of commercial showing images of a kid playing in the yard or hugging their dad and saying that it will always haunt him, and tear up a little bit on camera, and his base would just eat it up. Now they probably just think he's a lying jackass hypocrite.

beat by a girl!

"Think about some of the most hostile trolls who comment here, and then imagine them screaming at you through your headset."

The proper response is to thrash them and then proclaim that while winning, you were simultaneously baking a cake and changing a tampon.

lol @ That's rich

Yeah, uh, Bermanator, what is up with the hypocrisy of bringing up women-centric gaming strategies on a women's news blog? For shame.

lying

Oh yeah, that goes without saying, he's still a lying sleezeball no matter what he says, unless he was to get down on his knees and repent and vow to support the right to abortion even though it means he may be martyred for it by the "pro-life".

Dogs of Babel

Oh, that book was so sad and kind of creepy but really good. The Dream Master is a really good sci-fi book in which one of the minor characters is a dog that has been given the power of speech, albeit rudimentary, and the few places where he writes about interactions with this dog are really fucking creepy, or so I thought. Then there's also Roog, a short story of Philip K Dick's. It's from the perspective of a dog, who can speak (at least in his perspective). If anyone can tell me what the hell that story is really about, I would be grateful.

just wondering

I wonder if it would make the news or be reported as suicide if a woman drugged a male soldier, raped his ass with her rifle and blew his brains out.
