At the Risk of Sounding Incredibly Sexist: The "Double Standard"

"Why is it when a girl sleeps with a bunch of guys, she's called a slut, but when a guy sleeps with a bunch of girls, he gets high-fived in the locker room? What a DOUBLE STANDARD!" Heard this before? Of course, on th…
Meet Me in the Bathroom

Do You Think Double Standards are Antiquated Notions?

After a little more than a decade of dating, I've only genuinely flirted with 3 people in my life that I was interested in. From that small group, I've dated only two. One being my notable ex, the other guy just got…
"Princess Girls" and Why They Don't Have Boyfriends
