It was with much hilarity that I read “American Guy in Paris Freed from Idea of Consent” on Jezebel. The author, who claims he lived in Paris, seems to be asking “gee whiz, why can’t American women be more like Parisian women?” And by “more like Parisian women” he means “easier to get into

I am a huge fan of the show Glee. This is not necessarily because the show is that great, a lot of the episodes fall hugely flat, the plots are occasionally nonsensical, and the characters change to suit whatever the episode is doing. But, it’s a show about loser high school kids

I hate being touched when I am not expecting it and when I haven’t, somehow, given permission. Although, I’m the first to admit that there are exceptions to that. For example, a stranger isn’t someone I want to have touch me, but there are those who I want to have touch me, even if

I haven’t written anything on the many suicides of bullied teens. Partially because it’s so awful I have a hard time willing myself to actually sit down and think about it for any length of time. Dan Savage has been at the front of this, starting the “It Gets Better” video series and generally

Today, Oct. 11, is National Coming Out Day for LGBTQ, tomorrow is National Atheist Coming Out Day. I have a lot of admiration for the reasoning behind these days — the more people realize that they know people who are different from them, the less different those people are going to seem. If

I want to talk about sex, but I need to preface with a few disclaimers. I want to talk and listen and and learn, so jump into the discussion! I am comfortable publicly discussing sex in the abstract, but not with publicly disclosing my own personal proclivities. I am not among She Thought’s resident experts

About a month ago, my local paper the Spartanburg Herald Journal ran an editorial by writer Lane Filler entitled Abortion Eliminated, My Way. In it he listed his ideas for what he figured would be good solutions to making abortions a part of America’s past, not it’s present. I was actually astounded that Mr.

“Former Fly Girl JLo Supports Vaccines!”
Recently, skeptics around the web have been buzzing about a public service announcement, first aired in April of 2009, which features singer and actress Jennifer Lopez urging parents to get themselves vaccinated against Pertussis. The PSA goes right for the gut; it uses recordings of a child suffering from the

Not ev’ry girl can get herself a guy who looks like Nick.
Wait, to tell the truth, it hurt my pride — the groom was prettier than the bride.
“Sadie, Sadie” from the movie Funny Girl
And then Sadie’s groom got her pregnant and abandoned the relationship in favor of gambling.
We fail in our love
