That statement leapt out at me too. I hate that "fat acceptance" comes at the cost of deluding obese people into thinking they're perfectly healthy and will CONTINUE to be forever and ever because it's everyone ELSE'S fault that they cannot accept this (totally not absurd) truth. It's disgusting and it's dangerous.

And behave according to EvoPsych just-so stories. *sigh*

Today's XKCD sure is topical.

I guess making Superman a deadbeat dad was supposed to appeal to female audiences?

I know that the intent of your post is to suggest that Nicole's parents effectively created her gender identity, which is an offensive concept on its own, but not nearly as offensive as your use of the pronoun "it" to describe a child of any gender. Additionally, a person is not "a transgender". That's an incredibly…

What amazing parents! I have a small child who says she "Has a girl body but feels like a boy." It drives the grandparents crazy—but to me the choice is simple. Either I support my child, and it's a "phase" OR I support my child and she identifies as gender-nonconforming, OR I support my child and he transitions when…

Rather than address your cranky sarcasm, I'll just point out that no one is an "it."

It was a 'massive' problem? cite statistics

The power of "bitter/jealous" women to ruin the good names of "innocent" men knows no bounds when you find yourself in the unenviable position of having potentially supported an unrepentant pedophile.

I'm just going to keep posting these links:

People are willing to do such amazing feats of mental gymnastics in order to dismiss the claims of women who are open about their experiences with sexual abuse. It would be amusing if it weren't so rage inducing, vomit inducing, and heartbreaking.

I notice he completely leaves out the investigation done by people who were not paid by Woody Allen who came to a very different conclusion. Shocking.

But "soft, pale, and sweet" is kind of why it's not cute. It's overvaluing childlike, yielding simplicity. And whiteness.

I don't think there's anything left for me to say here. You want to cling to this idea that maybe, just maybe, Woody Allen's innocent. I don't see how it's any different from Stephen King saying he hopes the allegations aren't true. Like it's somehow preferable that this woman is just delusional or has implanted…

You know, aren't we? How is this any different than actors who choose to work with Roman Polanski and lionize him at awards shows and gush about how great he is? It's not, really, not if you're Dylan Farrow. We go see the movies these men make, we put more money in their pockets, we help them get Oscars and Golden…

Just make it a single miniseries, please. And please cast Jason Momoa as Shadow. He's the only one who could pull it off.

To my mind, there's only one actress who should ever be used to illustrate a story about Jane Austen. Team Ehle, 4-ever.

That Daily Beast article was so slut-shamey and victim-blamey that any relevant or important information it might have included is lost on me. I had no opinion before (mostly because I, as a random person who has no insider information, don't really have a right to weigh in and I don't get why everyone thinks they do)…

There's only so many times Cap is going to fall for the bloody trading cards trick. Five, six times tops.

Disagree. Her Loki interrogation scene in Avengers was one of the most fascinating character moments ever in any comic movie.
