I like Pope Francis.

In our home, he goes primarily by his unofficial title: His Holiness Pope Coolpants. He reminds me of another old Catholic dude I was extremely fond of, my grandfather, and his willingness to say things that Catholics don't really like to hear (gays are people/birth control pills — turns out they're not the Devil's Smarties) endears him greatly to me, an ex-Catholic who can still recite the Act of Contrition and has a box full of saint trading cards. I'm still looking for St. Tekakwitha, if anyone can hook a lapsie up.

Which is why it pains me to say that even when he comes out with more Coolpants fodder — like he did this weekend by saying Christians ought to apologize for the way they've treated the gay community and exploited women and children and poor people, and then throwing a scold in there over Brexit — I'm reminded all over again that his trousers will never be fully chill until he addresses the Catholic Church's greatest shame.

I am talking, of course, about the decades-long child abuse scandal that spanned multiple countries and resulted — just in the United States — in more than 10,000 allegations made toward nearly 5,000 men of the cloth in the church I was raised in.

To be fair, Pope Francis has publicly announced that the church will no longer be tolerating pedophile priests and the bishops who shelter them, which whew — how refreshing. He's also defrocked a few particular baddies and excommunicated a couple of monsters, which wow — super cool of him.

It's still not enough.

It's not enough because his words and actions don't really seem to match up in a number of these incidents. In 2014, he set up the very important-sounding Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, and in 2016 — that's this year, ya'll — news broke that bishops were still being told they weren't required to report child sex abuse to the police.

Resistance to the pope's attempts to implement changes in the way the church handles its most vulnerable members is well documented, and people in the fray call the progress "glacial."

Sorry, but when it comes to kids being abused — especially by the men and women they are told have moral primacy and what those children believe to be the very real power to damn or absolve their eternal souls — glacial isn't fast enough. Light speed isn't fast enough.

Pope Francis makes waves when he talks about the types of things that practicing Catholics either can't conceive of believing or otherwise would never admit to believing during Saturday confession. That's because these things fall outside of Catholic doctrine. It being OK to be gay, the odd use of a condom and the idea that women who get abortions aren't, in fact, Jezebel herself reincarnated go directly against what Catholics believe. Hell, I believed those things too, to my great shame.

So if the pope can make these brash and overdue statements, why the whole smoke-and-mirrors act for the thousands of boys who were raped and abused in the very place they considered a sanctuary? Most of those boys are men now. Some of them are dead. They'll never know justice, especially if, on the one hand, Pope Francis denounces their abusers and, on the other, does little to actually change the environment that allowed them to abuse with impunity.

More: Why I'm so darned afraid to admit I support Donald Trump

I'm not saying the pope shouldn't come out in favor of being a decent human being to our fellow man and the planet we live on. He doesn't have to sacrifice one for the other. He can do both. And he really, really needs to. What does it say when people can accept such a radical dogmatic change as "maybe wear a condom once in a while" but balk at accepting what has always been considered a deadly sin — the rape and abuse of a child?

I have seen firsthand what the effects of clergy abuse does to a family. It's a silent, distant friend of a friend who doesn't bow his head for grace at the dinner table and clenches his jaw when his cousins dip their fingers into the holy water font under the family's Pope John Paul II's portrait. It's the auntie who saves newspaper clippings, stories of Baptist and Mormon clergy abuse stories so she can reassure herself that it's not just her priest who has the taint of evil in him.

It's the edge-of-seat waiting for someone, anyone, to just say something.

Pope Francis' words mean a lot to Catholics. Even to backslid, hell-bound ones like me. He may not have the power his seat commanded centuries ago, but he has the perception of primacy. Many, many people believe his word to be the infallible expression of God's wisdom. He has used that power to become Pope Coolpants to many disenfranchised members of his own community.

Now he needs to speak on this. And keep talking until something changes. Then his papal regalia, pants or no, will be the coolest of all.

I'm answering a question today about a job seeker who can't seem to land interviews — let alone jobs — even though they're more than qualified for available positions.

More: I'm scared if I tell employers I'm pregnant they won't hire me

Question:

I've been looking for a job for two months without landing one. It torches me that I've not even been interviewed for jobs I'm more than qualified for. I've been an office manager for a day care center, a shoe salesperson who was almost promoted to supervisor before I left for personal reasons, and I ran my own small dog-sitting business. So when a two-person company advertised that they needed an assistant to handle their office duties, I thought I'd be the perfect hire.

I wrote them a letter telling them I could run their office, and with my business and sales experience, I could help them grow. I waited a day, expecting them to be excited to talk with me, but when I called them, they said they'd picked three candidates to interview and they were sorry, but I wasn't one.

I was shocked, but swallowed my irritation and said that I would be the best assistant he could dream of. He said, "Thank you, but I need to go now," and hung up. I called him right back and asked that he reconsider. He said no. When I asked why, he said he thought I wouldn't be happy with an assistant job.

I wouldn't work for him now if he begged me, but I want to know what I could have done to improve my chances of landing the interview — and the job.

More: I'm terrified a coworker will reveal my party-girl past

Answer:

You can't bully your way into a job.

Although you view yourself as highly qualified, this employer might have seen other applicants as more right for an assistant job. In fact, you somewhat shot yourself in the foot by your initial letter, which showed that you saw yourself as better than the job for which you applied. They wanted someone to handle office duties and correctly assessed that you'd want more of a job than they offered.

Your résumé presents another problem. You've been an entrepreneur, a salesperson and have done office work. You believe your background makes you a well-rounded candidate. An employer might view it as "all over the map" and also reflective of an individual who might be highly independent and hard to manage. Before you apply for your next job, redo your résumé so it directly targets the job for which you're applying.

Sometimes when I look back on the first year of marriage that my husband and I spent in a one-bedroom apartment while working and going to school full time, I wonder: Did we know what we were getting ourselves into? We weren’t just playing house. We were waist-deep in the rigors of marriage — and just at the ages of 20 and 21.

Then I think about the pride we shared when we both graduated. I think about the exhilaration we felt when we packed up a moving truck and made a home in a new state. I think about the accomplishments that were made possible with teamwork, the adventures we shared and the family we created on our own timeline. That’s when I know young marriage was right for us.

More: I may be married with a newborn at 24, but I didn't throw away my 20s

As with any long-term relationship, it hasn’t been easy. Getting married young probably even required we make a few more sacrifices along the way. And, as statistics show, people who marry young are more likely to divorce than peers who wait until their mid-20s. So, no, walking down the aisle in your late teens or early 20s isn’t for everyone. Yet, I’m a believer that there are a few distinct advantages to making the matrimonial leap earlier than average.

There’s no rush to start a family: For the first few years of our marriage, my husband and I were able to take impulsive trips, have date nights whenever we wanted and pour undivided attention into our relationship. Then four years into it when we started trying for a baby, it was without urgency forced by a biological clock. Now that we’ve welcomed our first child and are still in our mid-20s, we have the option to have a larger family. (And the time to come to an agreement about our ideal number of kids!)

We can appreciate how far we’ve come: I can’t say this without thinking of Drake’s “Started From The Bottom,” but it’s true. Just about everything my husband and I have, we earned together. By getting married young, you’re investing in life together and can really take pride in what you were able to accomplish as a team. Plus, it’s fun now to reminisce about the days of rice and beans.

We’re writing a shared story: You know when you get together with people who go way back, they tell a story and you have no idea what they’re talking about? That doesn’t happen often when you’ve known your spouse since teenage years. For us, I have a pretty comprehensive picture of my husband, from the fun-loving guy I met at a party in college to the devoted dad who works so hard to support the family — and there’s something very special about knowing someone so completely.

It was much simpler to blend lives: It was a lot easier to fit two people into a one-bedroom apartment when we didn’t arrive with separate couches, beds and microwaves. The same is true for meshing lifestyles. Sure, we had our own habits and routines, but it wasn’t like we were accustomed to living on our own and were suddenly stepping on each other’s feet.

We’re apparently more satisfied with life: Yes, there are proven benefits to tying the knot when you’re barely out of your teens! According to the National Marriage Project’s 2013 report, unmarried people in their 20s report lower levels of life satisfaction than us married folk. When you have a spouse, you are also less prone to depression and drinking in excess.

We really picked each other: Before I met my husband, I was in no rush to get married. I was just a typical 19-year-old, who believed she had many years and potential matches ahead of her. But he changed everything simply by being the person I wanted to marry. As with having children, there was absolutely no pressure to get married when we did. It just felt right because we were right for each other.

More: The sex hack that basically saved my marriage

When it comes down to it, I think that’s really the key: If you marry a person who is going to encourage you, share in your happiness and help you feel like your best self — and vice versa — then age at the time of “I do” is nothing but a number.

If you’ve seen Simone Biles trending all over Facebook, you’ve come to the right place. Who is this badass, all-American athlete, and why can’t everyone stop talking about her? Consider this your complete CliffsNotes guide to why Simone Biles is the athlete to watch during the Summer Games.

A little bit of background first — and something else you may have picked up on Facebook in the past few weeks — the 2016 Summer Olympics are right around the corner. This year, they’ll be hosted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from Aug. 5 – 21, which is why the upcoming games have been dubbed Rio 2016.

More: This soldier had to go to bizarre lengths just to attend a baby shower

As you might expect from the Summer Olympics, there’s plenty of fun for everyone, no matter what sport you may be interested in. But this year we’re calling it a '90s throwback, because gymnastics is hot again, and we have the rising star Simone Biles to thank. Here’s everything you need to know about this dynamic new athlete before the games begin.

1. She can’t legally drink

That is to say that, despite her talent and success, Biles is still very young. She just turned 19 and already has an unbelievable gymnastics résumé — like being the three-time World all-around champion, four-time U.S. National all-around champion, three-time World floor champion and two-time World balance beam champion, all before the age of 21.

2. She’s breaking records

As if winning 14 World medals — 10 gold, two silver and two bronze — wasn’t epic enough, this accomplishment alone has broken records. Biles has won the most world medals in U.S. history.

3. She’s breaking barriers

Biles has more than enough medals to adorn her mantel, but this may be her most important feat of all. Today, as one of the most decorated female gymnasts in history, Biles is also the first black American to win the title of World all-around champion.

4. Her vault is flawless

If you tune in to watch Biles compete in one summer event, let it be this — her vault, with its precision and height, is truly unbelievable. Because of this, the pros are comparing her to another record-breaking vaulter, the 2013 World champion McKayla Maroney.

5. She’s extra petite

While most professional gymnasts are known to be pint-size, Biles may be even smaller. At 4 feet 9 inches, Biles comes in under the estimated average height of most female championship gymnasts of roughly 5 feet 1 inch tall.

6. She’s a Texan — kinda

Biles was born in Columbus, Ohio, but she moved to Houston with her family at the age of 3. Her interest in gymnastics was sparked at age 6 when she visited a gym on a day care field trip.

7. She was raised by her grandparents

Biles moved to Houston in 2000 as a toddler, along with her three siblings, to live with her grandparents when her mother could no longer care for them. Biles and her younger sister, Adria, were adopted by her grandparents, and her older siblings were adopted by her sister.

8. She was homeschooled

When it comes to education, what’s a busy, young gymnast to do? For her secondary education, Biles was homeschooled and graduated from high school in 2015. The athlete deferred her attendance to UCLA so she could compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics.

9. It runs in the family

Remember Biles’ younger sister Adria, who was also adopted by their grandparents? Like her super-successful sis, Adria happens to be a gymnast, and the sisters often train together.

10. She has a move named after her

You know you’re kind of a big deal when you have a gymnastics move named after you. The Biles, as it’s been called among gymnasts, is a double layout with a half twist.

11. She’s totally down to earth

Biles may have already made gymnastics history, but she still strives to live life as a normal teenager. Some of her favorite hobbies include shopping and hanging out with friends, and she’s also a big fan of The Hunger Games and Divergent.

Johnny Depp has a lot of people in his corner who are willing to sing his praises and give him glowing character references, including his ex-lovers, Vanessa Paradis, and most recently Winona Ryder. But while these two women may have shared magical years with Depp, their comments should have no bearing on his latest legal case against his wife, Amber Heard.

During a recent interview with Time, Ryder shared her thoughts on the abuse allegations Heard made against Depp, explaining that while she can only speak from her own experience, Depp was "never, never that way towards me. Never abusive at all towards me. I only know him as a really good, loving, caring guy who is very, very protective of the people that he loves."

Ryder also said that the thought of Depp being physically abusive is "unimaginable."

Depp and Ryder began dating when she was only a teenager back in 1990 and the tabloids could not get enough of their romance. After just five months of dating the pair got engaged, and while they did not make it down the aisle, Ryder clearly only has fond memories of Depp.

"I wasn't there. I don't know what happened. I'm not calling anyone a liar. I'm just saying, it's difficult and upsetting for me to wrap my head around it," Ryder told the publication. "Look, it was a long time ago, but we were together for four years, and it was a big relationship for me. Imagine if someone you dated when you were — I was 17 when I met him — was accused of that. It's just shocking. I have never seen him be violent toward a person before."

Heard's claims may be a lot for Ryder to wrap her head around, but that doesn't mean that they aren't true. The problem here is that Depp and Heard's bitter divorce has played out in the media, and everyone is more than willing to share their thoughts on it. With public opinion weighing against the claims that Heard has made, victim blaming is a possible outcome (something which Heard has already had to deal with).

More: Amber Heard's past should have no bearing on her case against Johnny Depp

We ask women to speak up about domestic violence, but when they do, no one believes them. Is this really the message we want to be sending? Therefore, is it not better to keep opinions, like that of Depp's ex-lovers, private? We don't know what really happened behind closed doors with Depp and Heard, no one does, but we'd like to remind everyone why exes sharing their opinions can be potentially damaging in a case like this.

If there's one thing that has always helped a person to get over a love affair gone wrong, it's strutting about town looking absolutely fabulous and possibly finding somebody new to distract you from that lingering sting of recent heartbreak. In this social media-savvy age, doing so has become easier than ever. Now, people are able to upload sultry "I'm over you" selfies without even having to leave the house, and they can advertise being newly single by simply making that loud relationship status change on Facebook. What a time to be alive, my friends. And one young woman who has recently used these liberating privileges is Ariel Winter.

More: Don't like Ariel Winter's skin-baring dress? Here's a thought: Don't buy it

In the past week, the beautiful and talented Winter has posted a set of revealing images on her Instagram that openly celebrate her sexuality and also advertise the fact that she's now single. In one video, Winter is shown lying back on a chair and provocatively pouting, saying, "I just got wired... and now my wire is just chilling here," before moving the camera down to show her toned midriff and a microphone wire hanging above a pair of unbuttoned hot pants. Another simply shows a full-body selfie in the same outfit (and yes, those hot pants are still unfastened), before a follow-up post declares, "When you're surprised that people just haven't gotten it yet..." above a screen cap of Kim Kardashian saying, "I'm like dropping hints that I'm single."

Well, honey, there's dropping hints about being single and then there's dropping anvils about that fact. While women should most certainly be supported in celebrating their bodies and their sexuality in whatever manner they choose to without being shamed for it, there is something ever so slightly troubling about the manner in which Winter is currently going about it. Selfies can, of course, be incredibly empowering for women, but by framing them around a frustrated "I'm single!" disclaimer, Winter is only reinforcing the idea that hers may only exist to titillate a specific man, or men, and that's incredibly disheartening.

More: Ariel Winter doesn't deserve the hate she gets on her Instagram pictures

Considering that Winter chose another provocative image of herself in a tiny bikini (where her ass is clearly the main focus of the picture) as a way of celebrating having 2 million followers on Instagram, it feels as though she's choosing a very specific path for herself, and it's a little concerning. After all, there's nothing remotely empowering about these images, and worse, they feel typical of a teenager who has confused becoming an adult with being hypersexual. The pictures possess a certain misguided immaturity that many teenage girls excitedly experience as they navigate away from childhood to adulthood, sometimes making mistakes with experimentation in the process. What is most worrying for an actress like Winter, however, is the fact that in Hollywood, this behavior can sometimes act as a precursor for a meltdown.

It was at around the same age, for example, that Lindsay Lohan began displaying concerning behavior, with provocative pictures of her posing sexily with knives being leaked to the press. This also followed a tabloid frenzy of stories of her alleged party-loving ways becoming more and more commonplace, which eventually swamped her public persona and the talent that she genuinely had. Though Winter is currently nowhere near this same level (thank God), the child-star-gone-wild cliché is clichéd for good reason; celebrities who have grown up in the public eye often seem eager to leave behind the pressure of being a wholesome, well-behaved child star and as a result, end up diving into the deep end of adulthood before they've even learned how to swim. These behaviors can be destructive, yes, but they can also completely distract from the gigantic potential of the celebrity in question, and Winter currently has much more potential than these recent selfies are giving her credit for.

More: Ariel Winter's education dreams prove she's much more than a pretty face

As a result, it would be a terrible shame to see Winter continue down this path. While there's nothing wrong with a young woman positively celebrating her independence and sexuality, it only feels like a positive, self-affirming act if she's doing it for her and not for any man who would exploit these facts. Hollywood can be precarious and even dangerous for young starlets who are this eager to prove their sexuality as being just as big a selling point as their intelligence and their talents are, and Winter would be a fool to promote this about herself in the way that her recent Instagram posts are implying. There's no denying that she's beautiful and has the sort of body that I would be proud of showing off myself (if I had it), but boy, does she need to dial it down a little.

There's a time and a place for seductive, provocative self-exposure and when done correctly, those kinds of selfies can slay in a way that is positive and strong. But done wrong, and laid on this thick, you end up distracting from your core selling points. For Winter, she has far more to offer than her sexuality, and her social media should reflect that. Show us talent, show us personality and even show us mundane, but girl, don't dilute yourself. Considering that Winter is at the beginning of what could be a big, bright career, it would be a shame to see her distracting from that by presenting herself so superficially. Women deserve better than to use their sexuality as the apex of their selling point, and it's time we taught all young, talented women that that's definitely the case.

Choice advocates are breathing a loud sigh of relief this week, thanks to a Supreme Court ruling knocking down a draconian Texas law that would have shuttered three quarters of the facilities providing abortion services in the Lone Star State.

It's a colossal win for women in a year when we've taken a whole lot of hits.

But ladies, the SCOTUS ruling isn't the only reason to celebrate. There's also quite a bit of lemonade being made from all of those lemons this year (thanks, Beyoncé), and we should pause for a moment and celebrate some of the achievements that have been made in women's rights in the past few months alone.

Granted, we have a long way to go before all states provide free birth control to women. The idea that any government still considers itself responsible for deciding how and when a woman chooses to start a family, while often creating or enforcing laws that deny her and her family proper protection, is reprehensible. But these success stories remind us that it is possible for women to fight and win in their battle for equality. Now, if we can only keep up the momentum and end the year on an even more positive note.

Maryland makes Plan B free for everyone

In 2018, Maryland will become the first state to mandate coverage for Plan B, an over-the-counter emergency contraceptive otherwise known as the "morning after pill." The pill generally costs between $25 and $65, according to Planned Parenthood. And that's not the only way Maryland is proving its progressive attitude toward birth control. Women will be able to get up to six months of birth control pills in one trip to the pharmacy, all types of birth control pills will be free, and contraceptives like the IUD will no longer require preauthorization. Good news for men in Maryland, as well: Out-of-pocket costs for vasectomies will also be eliminated as part of the new plan.

California makes birth control free

Whether you rely on birth control pills, vaginal rings, patches or injections, a new California law covers all forms of contraception and makes it possible for women to obtain them from the pharmacist without visiting her doctor first (IUD's and other devices that must be inserted into the body are the exception). A pharmacist will take your blood pressure, require that you fill out a questionnaire and then either give you the birth control of your choice or recommend one that could work for you. It's unclear still whether the pharmacy could charge for its services, but if your health insurance plan covers contraceptives, these will be covered. This service is already offered in Oregon and Washington, and states like Hawaii and Tennessee have proposed similar legislation.

The Obama administration enforces new equal-pay rules

We already knew the stats were grim: Women working full-time jobs still make 79 cents for every dollar earned by a man. In January, President Barack Obama announced new equal-pay rules in the form of an executive action that requires companies that employ 100 or more workers to disclose to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission how much each employee makes and then break down those numbers further according to gender and race. An EEOC press release defended the changes by stating, "This new data will assist the agency in identifying possibly pay discrimination and assist employers in promoting equal pay in their workplaces."

President Obama designates a national monument to honor women's equality

On April 12, 2016 (Equal Pay Day), President Barack Obama designated a national monument called Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument at the historic Sewall-Belmont House in Washington, D.C. Since 1929, this building has served as the headquarters for the National Woman's Party and is an important site where hundreds of federal, state and local laws regarding women's rights have been written. Will a monument help women earn as much money as men? Of course not. But this site and what it stands for deserves protection, and a monument erected in its honor serves to prove its legitimacy.

Michigan improves its domestic violence laws

The Michigan Senate stepped up big time this year by overhauling its domestic violence laws to better protect women. House Bill 4476, which was signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder in May, includes protections against online harassment, provides sentencing guidelines for the abuse of a pregnant woman, prevents (in certain cases) a parent from having custody or visitation rights if a child was conceived through sexual assault and protects pets from the person accused of domestic violence.

Georgia helps domestic violence victims by giving them more time to protect themselves

Before 2016, anyone arrested for domestic violence in Georgia was held by police for 12 hours. The law was amended this year to increase the time a suspect can be held to 24 hours, which gives victims more time to form a plan and meet with advocates who can help ensure their safety and the safety of their children. The next step in the state should involve protecting victims of domestic violence in the workplace so that they don't lose their job if they have to take time off to deal with their situation — but this is a step in the right direction.

U.S. Treasury announces women will take over currency

It's a symbolic gesture, but an important one. The U.S. Treasury announced in 2016 that new designs are in the works for some of history's most influential female leaders to take over the $5, $10 and $20 bill. The front of the $5 bill will still feature Abraham Lincoln, but the back will have images of Eleanor Roosevelt, Marian Anderson and Martin Luther King, Jr. (Can you think of a better man with whom to share the spotlight?) Likewise, the $10 bill will keep Alexander Hamilton on the front, but the back will feature Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The $20 bill is the one that has us all kinds of excited: Bye, bye, Andrew Jackson — Harriet Tubman is about to replace you.

First female West Point Commandment of Cadets is installed

For the first time in history, the Army installed a female officer at the commandment of cadets at West Point. Brig. Gen. Diana M. Holland assumed the position in January and is the 76th officer to ever hold the position. In this role, Holland is responsible for the "military, physical, character and social development of more than 4,400 cadets." And her peers and higher ups can't say enough about her "phenomenal reputation throughout the Army" and leadership qualities.

The Army approved 22 female officers for ground combat

In April, the Army announced female officers can serve in ground combat positions. Under these new rules, the first 22 women were commissioned as infantry and army officers, which opens the door for them to assume leadership roles that were previously unavailable to them. This is a huge win for women who are interested in pursuing careers in the military — and little girls now have even more female role models to look up to — a total win for everyone.

Apparently when Chelsy Davy thinks back on her relationship with Prince Harry, it wasn't all sunshine and roses.

Davy met Prince Harry in 2004 and they immediately hit it off. For the next six years, the pair had an on-again, off-again relationship that Davy eventually had to walk away from because, to her, the entire thing was too much to handle.

But it wasn't he relationship itself that was difficult — it was the constant media attention and scrutiny around it.

More: Prince Harry "can't wait" to have babies

Davy said, "It was so full-on: crazy and scary and uncomfortable. I found it very difficult when it was bad. I couldn't cope. I was trying to be a normal kid and it was horrible."

Davy also admitted that when the couple finally called it quits for good, she had to hide away in her home country of Zimbabwe to escape the madness. She said, "It was nuts. That's also why I wanted to go back to Africa. Now it's calm, it's fine."

It’s sad to see that we haven’t gotten any better about the way we treat people in the public eye. We may have even gotten worse about it.

The saga of Kathryn Dennis’ love life on Southern Charm is very complicated and confusing. For two seasons, she was made to look like the crazy girl who Whitney Sudler-Smith hated because she wasn’t up to his Southern standards. In this third season, Craig Conover threw it out there that maybe Sudler-Smith was mad because he had feelings for Dennis and was mad that she didn’t choose him.

More: I watched all of Southern Charm Season 3 and Kathryn Dennis is not crazy

When Conover opened the conversation, everyone was drinking and it blew up in his face. So I was interested to see how Sudler-Smith would handle the topic at the reunion, when he was sober and able to articulate his side of things. What I saw, instead of an explanation, was a grown man acting like a toddler.

Andy Cohen, the reunion’s host, pointed out that the footage clearly shows that Dennis and Sudler-Smith spent more than one night together, despite the story he told. Instead of coming clean about the fact that they were getting close and admitting she chose to spend time with Thomas Ravenel over him, Sudler-Smith stayed silent and let Dennis be slut-shamed for three seasons.

More: Enough with slut-shaming Kathryn Dennis, Southern Charm fans

Even on the reunion, all he could admit to was that “maybe” it was more than one night. His ego wouldn’t let him man up and admit to feelings or that he wasn’t the most desirable man in Charleston. His entire demeanor was just gross. Especially when you hear him preach about how a refined Southern person acts. He acted in the exact opposite way of what he and his mom constantly talk about.

He was by far the most embarrassing person on a stage that included a man who spent time in prison and one who forgot to write his thesis paper for law school.

While I still don’t think Dennis behaved in the most adult fashion, at least she was telling the truth and owning her behavior — something Sudler-Smith could take note of.

Samantha Bee tackled the Brexit vote on this week’s Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and as usual, her critique was on point. Bee skipped over trying to explain the extremely complicated Brexit vote and instead went straight to the heart of the issue for many Americans: how the anti-immigrant Brexit sentiment mirrors Donald Trump’s presidential platform.

Brexit, or as Bee called it, “Britain’s countrywide reenactment of V for Vendetta,” isn’t a perfect parallel to the presidential election in the U.S. And Bee was quick to point out that Britain and the United States have a very different relationship with immigration and hugely different diversity makeups — Britain, unlike the U.S., was not built by/on immigration and is over 80 percent white. So, those thinking that Brexit is foreshadowing our election should probably sit down and take a breath. Still, there’s no escaping the similarities between the racist undertones (or overtones, depending on your point of view) of the Leave campaign and those of Trump’s presidential run. And so, Brexit is less of a foreign event and more of a cautionary tale.

More: Britain voted to leave the European Union and the results will be disastrous

Bee didn’t back away from using Brexit voters' remorse as a lesson to any Bernie Bros or non-political liberals. Bee made clear that those who believe in the Bernie or Bust movement would have nobody to blame but themselves in the case of a Trump presidency, showing a fake Brexit ballot with "Dr. Jill Stein," the Green Party candidate for president, written in. The message is clear: Voting Jill Stein in November is, to Bee, no different than all those Brits who voted to leave without doing their research or without thinking that their vote might actually make a difference. Bee ended her enlightening Brexit bit with this message: “It’s not enough for Trump to lose. It’s got to be a f***ing landslide.”

More: A Scot tries to explain the Brexit vote to Americans

Don’t believe Bee could get any cooler? Well, that’s just foolish. Bee’s Brexit segment also featured a clip of real Scotsman David Tennant, aka the 10th Doctor from Doctor Who, reading all the fabulous Trump insults British Twitter levied against him after his comments praising Brexit in Scotland. It turns out the only thing better than Samantha Bee taking down Donald Trump and the Brexit vote is David Tennant taking down Donald Trump and the Brexit vote on Full Frontal.

Unfortunately, when Bee asked Tennant if he could go back in time and prevent the Brexit vote, he refused. Let that be a lesson to us all: No time lord is coming to save us from our votes.

Do you think it's fair to compare Donald Trump to Brexit?

Boys and girls are different. Who knew? OK, we've all known that since preschool — so why is it taking the medical community so long to catch onto that basic fact, especially when it comes to disease and the different ways our bodies respond to them?

More: Yoga exercises that support your immune system

Now a set of new studies is examining exactly how our immune systems are different and why it's so important we know this. To start, there three major ways we're different than the dudes.

We got the power!

Chalk one up for the ladies: Our immune systems are both stronger and faster than men's. (Who's the weaker sex now, huh?) Researchers from the University of Tasmania in Australia reported at a recent meetup of microbiologists in Boston that female infants responded better to a new tuberculosis vaccine than male infants did — a finding that isn't unique to that vaccine. The researchers speculate that women have had to develop tougher, more agile immune systems in order to protect fetuses when we're pregnant.

Unfortunately, this can also work against us: A too-strong immune response can be just as deadly as a too-weak one, causing the body to attack itself over benign stimuli. This may be one reason why women are more likely to get autoimmune disorders, such as lupus and multiple sclerosis, and why we are affected by so many more strains of HIV than men are.

Hormones shmormones

Hormones — they mess with everything, amiright, ladies? Well, in this case our monthly fluctuations may be a good thing. Although we may not like the zits and bloating that come with it, the researchers reported that when estrogen soars, it can activate cells that kill viruses. And testosterone — yes, women have it, too — suppresses inflammation.

Then there's pregnancy, which means hormone fluctuation times 100. They noted that previous research has shown that a woman's immune system is temporarily lowered during gestation but that having a baby can strengthen your immune system over your lifetime.

That double X

It's not just physiological differences that matter. Our immune system goes right down to our genetics, the researchers reported. They found that the X chromosome carries a special protein called TLR7 that detects viruses and then sends out the cellular troops to kill them. Our double X means we have twice the protein and, therefore, twice the firepower for fighting infection. (The scientists noted that TLR7 seems to be unaffected by the process that suppresses other doubled-up X proteins.)

The "woman problem"

Unfortunately, many scientists ignore these basic biological realities, doing drug and vaccine testing only on men or doing it on both genders but not separating the results. This means that women often get too-high doses of medications and vaccines, which can have unintended, and sometimes very serious, health consequences. (Even worse: Women are more likely to be ignored, misdiagnosed or written off when they report pain or other adverse symptoms.)

“It’s sort of an inconvenient truth,” said Linde Meyaard, an immunologist at University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands and one of the presenters at the Boston meeting. “People really don’t want to know that what they study in one sex is different from the other.”

In the close quarters of Bachelorette living, there's bound to be some disagreements, but none of them have been more ridiculous than the argument between James-Taylor and Jordan we saw showcased tonight in all its measly glory.

More: Ben Higgins isn't JoJo Fletcher's only Bachelor ex

Basically, James-Taylor decided to tell JoJo that during a poker game with Jordan, Jordan became "entitled" over the rules of the game thus James-Taylor is questioning all of Jordan's intentions on the show.

I'm having trouble writing this without rolling my eyes.

Really?

Really?

Gah, James-Taylor I really liked you! Why did you have to ruin it by getting so insecure?

Because that's all this argument boiled down to. James-Taylor felt intimidated by the jock and decided to go cry to JoJo about it. It was, I'm sorry, hard to watch.

I'm a naturally competitive person and so are a lot of my friends. I can't even count the times I've argued in a game of Monopoly. Catch Phrase can take on a whole new level of loud. And don't even get me started on The Settlers of Catan. The point is, disagreements happen. Then you move on. You don't ever talk about them again because you respect the competitive nature as part of the fun. It's just a game.

More: The Bachelorette's Jordan Rodgers has had enough of all those dating rumors

More than James-Taylor being butt-hurt by Jordan's behavior, it seemed to me like he was just grasping at straws for a way to make the guy look bad. It only ended up making James-Taylor look the fool.

I guess the strategy worked for now, though, because JoJo is keeping James-Taylor around. She said she respected the fact that he was clearly trying to protect her.

Yes, by all means, James-Taylor, protect her from the terrors that happen while playing cards with Jordan. So scary!

I actually really like Jordan, and he's the clear front-runner this season. He's secure in his relationship with JoJo, and I respected how he handled himself when his integrity was questioned. He was clearly fuming, which says a lot about him since that's important to him. He even said in his interview that his parents taught him to be better than that.

Just because Aaron Rodgers is his brother and Jordan himself had a successful pro career as a quarterback doesn't mean he thinks he's better than anyone. I'm sure he's confident in his success. News flash: Confidence is sexy and Jordan should be proud of what he's done.

How this relates back to this whole card game nonsense is just beyond me.

More: Celebs tell us how they really feel about last night's Bachelorette episode

JoJo, beware of Jordan's poker playing rules, beware. But don't, for the love of all the good drama in the history of The Bachelorette, use a poker game as a means to prove someone's entitlement and lack of integrity. That's just ridiculous.

Do you think James-Taylor was being overly dramatic or is Jordan really an entitled jerk?

Kylie Jenner and Tyga's relationship has become a hot topic with their every move dissected and discussed; will they get back together, or are they broken up for good? Well, it looks like we may finally have our answer.

More: Don't cross Kylie Jenner & Tyga off your relationship goals list just yet

Over the last few weeks Jenner and Tyga have been sending out some pretty mixed signals (remember that now-deleted photo of Jenner on Tyga's Instagram account), which has only led to further speculation about what's been going on behind closed doors, but they're apparently "officially dating again," this according to a source who told People magazine that the couple have not only rekindled their romance, but "there seems to be no drama so far!"

And they aren't just back together, they're reportedly planning on living together again, too — and Tyga can thank his financial situation for this.

Tyga is reportedly dealing with the drama of financial disputes and unpaid back taxes, but his money troubles may actually be good news for his relationship. Well, kinda, because Jenner has reportedly invited Tyga to move into her new Hidden Hills home.

As for what the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan think about Jenner rekindling her romance with Tyga, apparently no one is really too concerned, but not because they're being supportive, but because they don't think it will last. Ouch.

More: No wonder Kylie Jenner's selling her home after all these creepy encounters

"Her family isn't too upset about Kylie and Tyga being back together," says the source. "They don't think it's permanent."

A second source also weighed in on the relationship, saying, "They don't know what will happen but they care about each other and weren't ready to walk away."

We know you've heard it all a thousand times before, but do you think Kylie Jenner and Tyga are meant to be together? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

I realized I was queer when I was in college.

I’d always had extremely close female friendships, but it took me a while to admit that the “girl crushes” I’d had weren’t girl crushes at all — they were legitimate, romantic, sexual crushes.

Figuring out your sexuality is one thing. Figuring out your sex life when you aren’t straight is just as hard, if not harder. In the U.S., we’re considered lucky if we have sex education classes that go beyond abstinence, but LGBT-specific sex education is basically non-existent. According to Guttmacher Institute, only 13 states require discussion of sexual orientation in sex ed, with nine being inclusive discussion of sexual orientation and four requiring that it be negative information.

Long story short? You have to really seek out accurate portrayals of not just healthy sexuality, but healthy queer sexuality, on your own. Learning how to have queer sex isn’t something that just lands in your lap.

More: Everyone is a little sexually fluid, even you

As a result, my coming out was also a lesson in broadening my understanding of my sexuality as a whole. I had to ask myself new questions. For years as a straight girl, I’d assumed I’d do the PIV-sex thing and be done with it. But now, as a queer girl, I had to ask myself what I wanted my sex life to look like. What did I want it to entail?

At first, I tried out the usual suspects, reading about how girls had sex and looking up sex tips and advice online, but much of it catered to straight people, especially straight men. I wasn’t seeing much that centered on my own pleasure or that offered up actual advice. I mean, try looking up “lesbian sex.” I will pretty much guarantee that you’re going to land on porn.

I decided to kick other people’s thoughts and ideas about my sex life aside and make my own decisions. It was up to me to navigate my own sexuality. Sex toys ended up playing a major part in that.

According to the Autostraddle Sex Survey, over 50 percent of queer women use strap-ons, dildos and vibrators when they have sex. Because we’re breaking the norms of sex from the get-go, it sort of feels like you may as well just go for it and figure out how to have the best sex ever. Still, though, I was nervous.

More: Gay male erotica turns me on — so what?

As a queer woman still learning how sex between women was "supposed to" work, I felt a little hesitant and nervous about sex with other women to begin with. Adding sex toys felt risky, like it would make me gain or lose “queer points” if I chose a toy that made me seem like a straight girl.

There’s a lot of judgment surrounding bi women to begin with, so I was always worrying about having other women shame me for my decisions and decide I was just a straight girl experimenting instead of a real, live bi girl. With people assuming lesbians are “less gay” because they like strap-ons, or questioning how “real lesbians” have sex (as opposed to all those “fake ones” that seem to exist…?), there’s very real pressure to have queer sex the right way, even though you’re never told what that right way is.

So it felt revolutionary the first time I sat down with a regular hookup and said, “Have you ever tried out sex toys?” She looked at me for a moment before smiling and saying that she had a few times, and then we were able to get to know each other on a new level. We were opening up and being vulnerable and having a conversation that more people need to have — an open, honest and judgment-free conversation about how we wanted to have sex.

When you’re shopping for, talking about and even using sex toys, you’re entering into a space where rules — the suffocating ones that make us question ourselves before we express a need to our partners — don’t apply. Consent becomes real, instead of theoretical. Pleasure becomes real instead of theoretical. You have to spell it out and say, “This is what I like,” and “This is what I don’t like.” And I think that, queer or not, we’re all bound to have better sex when we’re not holding back, not in the sex shop — and not in bed.

No one expected to see Taylor Swift in another relationship so soon after her breakup from longtime boyfriend, Calvin Harris. Furthermore, no one expected her to be so serious about Tom Hiddleston.

More: Sorry Taylor, you're probably rushing the meeting the parents stage

The couple are clearly enjoying each other's company and things between them appear to be going full-steam ahead; they've both met each other's parents, with Swift even headed to the U.K. to meet Hiddleston's mom, who according to an E! News source already "loves her" — and she's not the only one throwing around the "L" word.

"Their families love them as a couple, and it seems like everyone, including her close friends, think this is going to be the guy she will end up with," a source told E! News. And Swift is pretty certain that her new beau could be the one, in fact, she's reportedly falling for him big time.

According to the publication's source, Swift recently texted her best friends to say, "'I think I am in love and I never felt this way before!'" Wow.

More: Calvin Harris had an Instagram breakdown in now-deleted comments

But then again, are we really surprised? Yes, it's happened extremely quickly, but from everything we know of Hiddleston he seems to be a genuinely nice guy who treats Swift like an absolute princess.

"She is having a blast traveling with him," the insider told E! News of their recent trip, adding, "He is very romantic and attentive towards Her. He is extremely charming. He also makes sure she feels safe wherever they go together. She is on cloud nine and really enjoying this quality time they are spending."

Because dating Kylie Jenner is so 2014, Jaden Smith's found a new leading lady, who also happens to be gorgeous enough to break the Instagram feed.

Yes, the oldest child of Will and Jada is officially over his Kardashian dalliance and has moved on to greener pastures. He may have gone to two different proms with singer Mecca Kalani and actress Amandla Stenberg, but it seems he has settled down with another woman named Sarah Snyder.

The two got some major attention in 2015 while cuddling up at a show during New York Fashion Week, and they're still going strong a year later.

Here's a crash course on Snyder.

More: Kylie Jenner reportedly thinks Tyga is marriage material

1. She's 4 years his senior

Just like his sister, Willow, Smith seems to prefer the company of those older than him. There are conflicting reports on her age, but according to her Explore Talent modeling profile, Snyder is 21 years old, which basically means that she can drink (legally), while the 17-year-old Smith cannot.

2. She's a model

And a talented one at that. Her Instagram is littered with the usual social media modeling shots, but we dug up some professional photos of Snyder posted by a makeup artist that prove she is the real deal.

3. She's a petite model, at that

Snyder might not be a 6-foot-tall supermodel, but her smaller frame matches her beau perfectly -- she is 5'5" to Smith's 5'7".

4. She's a big deal on Instagram

Instagram fame these days is nothing to laugh at, and Snyder is one of the youthful leaders of the pack. At sarahfuckingsnyder, the model has gained a following of more than 700,000.

5. She's not afraid of a little PDA

We're guessing not being PDA shy is a requirement for dating one of the Smith kids — and Snyder has proven that she is more than game. The couple has been graphically smoochie at NYFW and there's also this footage of them all over each other at the Pitch Perfect 2 premiere back in May.

6. She's got a record

According to the Bedford County Police Department via Page Six, Snyder was arrested in June and charged with one count of larceny in the third degree after allegedly stealing a $15,995 Hermès bag from a New York shopping center in February. Whoops.

7. She's got champagne taste

Judging by some of her Instagram posts, Snyder not only loves Hermès, but she's a Gucci fan, too.

8. She's got a unique style

As evidenced by her penchant for Hermès and Gucci, Snyder definitely has a love for the finer things in life, but we can't help but admire how she's able to also pull off a seriously pared-down look. She and Smith do seem to mesh well together with their eclectic fashion choices. Their looks say "I don't give a f***," but they somehow look totally gorgeous anyway.

Ikea tried to warn us about this popular line of furniture. It offered repair kits and anchoring kits. But for whatever reason, we weren't getting the message. Now Ikea is recalling the "Malm" series dressers, after the deaths of at least three toddlers.

More: Toddlers die in furniture tip-over: Are your kids safe?

But the Consumer Product Safety Commission says it's aware of six kids crushed to death underneath the dressers.

"Enough is enough," Chairman of the CPSC said. "These are inherently very dangerous and unstable products if children are around them."

More: Horrifying PSA shows exactly why you need to anchor furniture

The recall impacts more than 29 million dressers, including the budget "Malm" line. Ikea has already removed the Malm dressers from its website and is offering full refunds to anyone who purchased them.

"Please take them out of the room," Ikea USA president Lars Peterson simply told NBC News.

The children who have already died as a result of being crushed by an Ikea Malm dresser include 2-year-old Curren Collas in 2014. Then, 23-month-old Camden Ellis was the second killed just four months later. Now news of a third toddler death, Ted McGee from Minnesota, has sparked the international recall effort.

Last year Ikea, along with the Consumer Product Safety Commission's campaign to get parents to anchor heavy furniture to the wall, sent out more than 300,000 anchor kits, but now the retailer has decided more needs to be done.

Here's more on the Ikea dresser recall.

Die-hard fans of Diet Pepsi, get excited: Pepsi is bringing back aspartame. The company is relaunching its aspartame-sweetened Diet Pepsi, which will now be sold in a light blue can with the wording "Classic Sweetener Blend."

Last year, Pepsi removed aspartame from its diet cola and started using sucralose and acesulfame potassium instead (yum?). That's because aspartame is a controversial ingredient that has been linked to cancer in lab mice, and consumers have been wary of it for several years. Customers were badgering Pepsi to remove it, and so the company did.

However, it turns out that the staunchest Diet Pepsi fans were none too pleased with the ingredient swap. Apparently the soda just tasted too different to what they had grown up drinking, and sales of Diet Pepsi dropped. I guess it was just a classic case of the grass being greener on the other side.

Though Diet Pepsi in the silver can, which states "Now Aspartame Free," will still be available for those who don't want to consume such a troubling ingredient, the aspartame-sweetened version will hopefully help stop Pepsi's slipping sales, as customers will now be able to choose exactly which sweetener they want in their drink.

But there's even more to choose from. Pepsi also has Pepsi Max, which is being relaunched as Pepsi Zero Sugar and comes in a black can. What makes Pepsi Zero Sugar different from the other two diet Pepsis? It has almost twice the caffeine, is infused with ginseng and, like Diet Pepsi classic, it is sweetened with aspartame.

If you're like me and don't exactly have the spare room in your brain to dedicate to memorizing the intricacies of Pepsi's product offerings, we've laid it out for you in this handy infographic. The next time you go to the store and find yourself facing a multicolored wall of Diet Pepsi cans, just whip it out for quick reference. Or, you know, stick to drinking water or whatever. Now if only they made that caffeinated...

Pat Summitt, the all-time winningest coach in the history of major college basketball, died Tuesday. She was only 64 but had battled Alzheimer’s disease for five years.

More: As crappy as 2016 has been for women, there's good news too

Arguably, nobody did more for women’s basketball than Summitt did. In her 38-year coaching stretch at the University of Tennessee, she won eight national titles and 1,098 games — a record no other Division 1 coach (male or female) has ever beaten. Her teams made 31 consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament — another record.

As news of Summitt’s death spread, tributes poured in from across the world, but it’s in Tennessee that the loss will be felt the most. The university issued a statement calling Summitt "a global icon who transcended sports and spent her entire life making a difference in other people's lives."

"Pat was so much more than a Hall of Fame coach; she was a mother, mentor, leader, friend, humanitarian and inspiration to so many," it said. "Her legacy will live on through the countless people she touched throughout her career."

More: Simone Biles will be the Summer Olympics star you won't stop talking about

It’s not only for her ability as a coach and pioneer of women’s athletics that Summitt will be remembered. She also gave great quote — here are 13 of her best:

1. "In the absence of feedback, people will fill in the blanks with a negative. They will assume you don’t care about them or don’t like them."

2. "Someday, I suppose I’ll give up and sit in the rocking chair. But I’ll probably be rocking fast, because I don’t know what I’ll do without a job."

3. "Life. It gives you vision. But you can’t acquire it if you’re afraid of keeping score."

4. "There is an old saying: A champion is someone who is willing to be uncomfortable."

5. "God doesn’t take things away to be cruel. He takes things away to make room for other things. He takes things away to lighten us. He takes things away so we can fly."

6. "About one’s life; memories are unreliable — they smudge and fade, like disappearing footprints in the sand. We’re too busy standing in the middle of it all to remember everything perfectly."
