Some things
Calling yourself a feminist doesn’t make you an extremist. It’s a cultural misunderstanding, and it’s prevalent enough that the general public shuns the term. It has a nasty reputation for extremism, for anger and vitriol towards… well, everyone. So, nobody wants to be a feminist. They’re not like those women. They’re normal people, for goodness sakes! Do they...

nerdiestofbears asked: Kate, I know you're probably not familiar with Sherlock but do you have any thoughts on the casting of Lucy Liu as Watson in Elementary? I've noticed a large majority of the fandom going crazy because they made John a woman. Others are worried that they genderbent her to further their relationship. Overall, some of the behavior is horrific, but I respect your opinion, so I'm...

Where Monsters Dwell ep 189: Kate Leth! →
I was on a radio show! I come in about 40 minutes in. We talk a lot about Ladies’ Night, I frequently namedrop ComicsAlliance’s sex in comics articles and tell the story of how Locke & Key found me (again). Enjoy!

heyidostuff asked: Don't know if you still want these, but being in the UK we got pretty thorough sex and social ed all the way from ages 10 to 16. It was the Religious Ed teacher who was the problem. To teach us about abortion she passed around full size photos of aborted foetuses, mainly around the legal 24 week limit. We were 14. They were pretty developed and it disturbed me so much I had a strong pro-life...

Sex, Uneducated
This morning, I put out a call for Sex Ed horror stories from former and current teens, after reading about Utah’s decision to adopt an abstinence-only policy when it comes to teaching about sexual health. Of course, that’s ridiculous - but not as crazy as some of these testimonials. Read on, it’s fascinating.

Keep sending me your sex ed horror stories! I’ll post ‘em all at once, later. I’m fascinated.
caffeineloveaffair asked: I never actually got sex ed, because according to my cello teacher "You don't need sex ed if you keep playing music"
d13t-p3ps1 asked: So when I was in middle school, I was in girl scouts. One memorable, horrible weekend we had a sleepover at a hotel where a nurse came to talk to us about "growing up" and "relationships". Her main props were two roses, one was very wilted and one was pristine and new and she said "now girls, both roses may be beautiful...but no one wants the wilted one." ;_;
crazypirate asked: oh my god. that other comment about the lady ripping off rose petals...we had a guy come in once and be like "ladies, don't be a pick up truck that anyone can have. You're special. you're unique. Be a lamborghini" Then he handed out pink shirts that said that and purity rings and I was all "paaaaassss." Catholic school man. Made me misogyny fighting feminist...
thedoorkeep asked: The Kate Leth Safe and Sexy Summer Camp School
allthisandhips asked: My high school never even had a sex ed class. I vaguely remember one in jr. high. All I remember is some some lady came in and started ripping the petals off a rose and was like "IF YOU SLEEP WITH TOO MANY PEOPLE, YOU'LL LOSE ALL YOUR PETALS" and it was kind of horrifying. I hate America's way of dealing with sex ed. I'd love to move to Canada.

Look everyone! More religious cross over into the government! Look everyone! Governments completely ignoring hard data like states with abstinence only sex education programs have high teen pregnancy rates!
Wow! It sounds like Utah REALLY wants to see a skyrocketing abortion rate!
Hey, teenagers of America? You can all come stay at my house until your country...
xoxocommunismgurl asked: This may be a dumb question - but how do girls protect against STDs while sleeping with other girls?
tygermama asked: Did you throw the potato out, like into the bin outside, or just in the kitchen garbage? Because a potato like that? Could potentially climb out of the garbage and try to devour your soul. I just want you and Adam to be safe.
It was a potato
