Stranger Danger: 4 Signs You Shouldn’t Be Dating Him
The Best Case Against Sarah Palin is Sarah Palin
Much has happened since John McCain selected Sarah Palin to be his Vice President, having chosen her after an extensive vetting process composed of… oh, I don’t know, picking her name out of a hat, perhaps, or a lively session of “Spin the Bottle” with all available candidates. Back in those days – the halcyon, […]
You Made Crazy Grandma Cry: Camille Paglia vs. Feminism, Again
Say, have you heard of Camille Paglia? If not, good news: it turns out that you are not old.

I, Slut: Girl-on-Girl Name-Calling
Ladies, gentlemen: I am a slut.
No two ways around it: I like sex. I like sex with lots of different people. I like sex in lots of different ways. I like talking about sex. I like writing about sex. So I go out, and I hook up, and I do not always stick around to […]

My Dinner With Maxim
In my time, I’ve made fun of Maxim. I got a kick out of the chicken-greased girls on the covers, the silly headlines, the boobs-and-beer aesthetic of it all. My understanding was that Maxim addressed its readers as if they were lecherous frat boys with grades that didn’t pass muster, incapable of understanding any […]

Mr. Right Iz Here. In My Apartment. It’s Wonderful
In my most recent article, I discussed the fact that my boyfriend does not read what I post here. As I am a delicate, ladylike and discreet young woman, I did not publish his name – or, for that matter, any details that could have identified him to the reading public.
I have good news for […]
The Sad Ballad of Josh and Emily, or: No, You May Not Read My Blog, or: Broken Condom = Internet Gold
So, have you heard about Josh Stein and Emily Gould?
Don’t worry. You will. And soon.
The New York Times Magazine is running a cover piece by Gould this Sunday. It’s ostensibly about “the dangers of oversharing on the Internet,” and is actually the culmination of a breakup sadder and less significant than anyone could possibly […]
