There’s a big difference between talking and communicating. One exists to relay messages, ideas, and feelings: the building blocks of being a person. The other exists to fill time. I’m by no means here to tell people how to approach their relationships — I just don’t want people to feel pressured to fill silences with noise out of the fear their partners won’t think they care.

This Monday, Matt talks about female comic characters. Batman? How about BatNOTSOMUCHMAN.

Do you remember that incredibly awkward feeling you’d get during childhood when you went over to a friend’s house for dinner and their parents started arguing? This was like that — only your dick is out and you got caught having sex with one of the parents.

This week on Mondays With Matt: Wearing a crop-top. And I have a NEW BELLYBUTTON.

This week, Matt shares what he wishes he learned in high school.

This is literally the cutest, happiest thing you will see all day.

Instead of being allowed to exist as fully complex and sexual human beings, they’re relegated to being a tag in pornography. They’re seen as a guilty pleasure among those with “abnormal” sexual appetites, something to be viewed sexually in spite of their comparison to what we consider "the norm."

What happens when a Millennial smashes his phone? Watch to find out. And also to laugh your ass off. 

I know, it's Monday. BLECH. But, that also means it's time for #MondaysWithMatt.

I feel equipped to talk about the intricacies of the body positivity movement; for with all its beauty and empowerment, there are aspects of body positivity that try to control how others view and treat their bodies. Though I understand the intention, behavior like this flies in the face of the ideals the movement is trying to create. Put simply: it's time we stop trying to police body positivity.
