I've never commented here before, but I can't stay quiet on this one. Over the last two years, I have suffered excruciating pain due to hip injuries. I'm about to have the fourth surgery in 15 months. My doctor and I have developed a pain management program that has allowed me to continue to work my professional and…

"The pill's intended purpose will be to reduce chronic and severe pain for people suffering from cancer or arthritis..."
She speaks beyond her experience and she is presenting on a world wide platform. Rape is not an experience that is wrapped in the love she describes. Being a victim is NOT "so comfortable". And although I would defend her privilege in experiencing her rape in this context, out of respect for the majority of women…
Agreed. As her statement proves, the term victim is equated to being weak. People who have love and support can probably overcome things better and/or a bit faster than people who who have to find the magical strength from within.
You admitted yourself above that if the comment "Good morning" was uttered in a leering fashion, it would be considered a catcall. It's obvious to me you just want to argue this point. That's fine, keep arguing. But you and I both know that a comment can be uttered many different ways. With that, I say good day to…
... I am not killing this person. I walk past them. But it makes me feel sick and scared to be anywhere. That's harassment. I'm just saying it is harassment. It is usually said in the most lascivious tone possible and makes me feel like a piece of meat, not like a human. You're a disgusting apologist for harassment…
And I am allowed to believe a stranger speaking to me is harassment.
I live in Brooklyn and get creepy "Good mornings" at least 5 times before I make it to the train on my way to work. Its never just "good morning." Its always followed with some other remark, and never in a friendly neighborly tone. Sorry but it is harassment. Unless you're saying "good morning" to every man that also…
Catcalling is not a compliment. Its harassment. It doesn't matter whether the comment is "Hey beautiful" or "Good morning."

See, THIS is why you don't low ball your bid on dwarf-crafted ethereal chains. Fenrir will just break that shit down.
Pics of Jormungandr or it didn't happen. I am not accepting pictures of oarfish.
Yo, Mayan prophecy, Im really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Ragnarok was one of the best apocalypses of all time.
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.
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."
