    In reply to Why Men Should Learn To Like Period Sex
    The funniest thing I ever heard was when my bf said "don't all women get hysterectomies at 45?" because his mom had one. he also used to pronounce "menstruation" like this: "men-iss-tration" He grew up with only brothers in a household where dating was not allowed. I set him straight pretty quickly. Now, we're very comfortable talking about all kinds of body issues, which is nice. #periodsex

    In reply to Megan Fox's Minders Are Worried Women Don't Like Her
    I'm sure some women hate Megan Fox because she's pretty, but I see two much bigger issues.

    1) She isn't girl-pretty. I watched the VMAs with a friend who is very uninterested in celebrity. She really did not get all of the remarks about how gorgeous Megan Fox is, they literally confused her. Not that she thought Megan Fox was ugly, but that she wasn't any prettier than Beyonce or Taylor Swift.

    2) She says incredibly dumb stuff and shits on women. That quote up there about women tearing each other apart isn't going to win her female fans.

    3) Outside of Jennifer's Body which no one saw, she's only been in dude movies where she is the sexy prop. Women tend to like actresses who play relatable female characters not fembots.

    The closest comparison I can come up is Matthew McConaughey who I would guess has more female fans than male fans since he does a lot of chick flicks and is known for his chest. #meganfoxhate

    I don't know, I'm completely with you that periods shouldn't be the taboo that they are and that guys in general should learn to be more comfortable with them, and the idea of period sex if it comes up, but that said there's a big difference between occasional period sex when he knows what's up, and waking up unexpectedly covered in blood (assuming that the article writer was telling the truth and it wasn't just a little spot on the sheets) #periodsex

    My husband has started to chill out a bit. After seven years of being together, and three years of marriage, he is no longer afraid to be seen carrying a drugstore bag that contains a fresh box of tampons.

    The last time he tried to refuse to carry the bag, I told him very loudly in front of the Duane Reade crowd that no one was going to think he was having his period.

    He was humiliated, and the clerk much amused.

    He still won't discuss poo, though. Poo is very private.

    BTW, he's forty-fucking-two. #periodsex

    I don't know. My boyfriend's cool with some period sex once in a while, and that's great considering how squicked out most guys are by women even talking about the details of their periods. I don't even enjoy period sex that much. But I think if a dude's not down with the blood, then that should be okay, too. And I don't think it's cool to spring period sex on a guy without warning, either -- it seems akin to a guy doing something new in bed without your permission. #periodsex

    This only confirms my theory that the best weapon a woman can have is not mace, a rape whistle, a gun, or a cellphone, but a saved-up packet of her menstrual blood, to be popped and waved in the face of dude(s) in question. They'll run away screaming or puking, of course. #periodsex

    In reply to Why Men Should Learn To Like Period Sex
    I am not bothered by another woman being on her period and my ex used to like it (she would say that having a tampon in was extra stimulation) but I have to say, when I have my period, at least the bad days, I just want to veg out by myself and drink tea and maybe eat salty snacks and be alone. I’m not that social let alone into sex or sexual activity. It’s not that I feel unclean I just feel over my period and also just not sexy or in the mood. This isn’t for the whole time (which, um, is about a week for me, or used to be). This actually came up last night, on my birthday, and I tried to get into making out/giving head, but mostly kindof just wanted to curl up and cuddle with my pillow. I probably need to get better about saying, "I’m having my period/not in the mood." I want to be as comfortable about the topic as you, Anna, but having my period makes me want to hibernate.

    That being said, most guys I’ve been with, at least in recent memory, had no problem with it. #periodsex

    @lustylady: 'This actually came up last night, on my birthday, and I tried to get into making out/giving head'

    Maybe I'm misreading.. Please tell me your birthday present wasn't giving your dude a blowjob!

    Also, general TMI suggestion – period sex doesn't have to mean intercourse or even taking out/off your blood catcher of choice. Hand jobs, blow jobs and vibrators go a long way. #periodsex

    Major points for prominently featuring the "toe thumb" on the cover, Ms. Fox. Workin' the "I'm flawed! So you can like me!" angle.

    I think she's gorgeous--no doubt about it. In a way that I really like. But over and over, she's presented ornamentally, saying titillating but not threatening-to-the-(male)-status quo stuff. She does the mouth-half-open pose constantly. She's half-dressed.

    That's okay. But once I've seen it, I'm like, "Well, hooray for you, pretty thing!"

    I think in ten years, I bet she'll be making noises like Demi Moore about how there are no good roles for older women, when, in reality, if you build a career around being an ornament, you can't expect to be hired it's Show Up (with some talent) or Shut Up time, in your early 30s.

    Angelina is as beautiful, but women love her, and always have. Because she's willingly presented other sides of herself besides, well, herself and her thoughts about herself and what other people think of her. She showed range and skill in her acting; she showed some self-awareness that wasn't self-obsession in her interviews.
    In short, she presented herself as more than just a One Pout Pony, and chicks dig it! #meganfoxhate

    Has anyone ever seen her with her mouth closed? Yeah. I thought not. Perpetual "sexay time face" - as well as women who constantly speak in a sultry manner get on other women's nerves because you're obviously not talking to US. Keep playing to half the crowd and that's all you win over. #meganfoxhate

    Maybe if Megan didn't harp on about how all girls are bitches and jealous of her, more of them would like her. Also, humility is one thing - whining is another. If she hadn't done so many men's magazines etc then she sure as hell wouldn't be even half as famous as she is today. #meganfoxhate

    One of the reasons I don't particularly like Megan Fox is that she keeps telling me that I don't like her due to her rather sweeping generalisations about women.

    The world is constantly telling me what I should think about everything else. It would be nice if movie stars would refrain and just get on with entertaining me.
