Yup. I'm black and proud and all that, but I'm not seeing the need for "rage convulsions" every time a stupid celebrity does something stupid and then apologizes for being stupid. I can fully believe this person had no clue about the history of blackface, smeared herself with orange bronzer in an attempt to darken her

It shouldn't even have to do with sex either! If a woman says no, she usually means it! I have been second guessed on:

This feels really unfair to me. What about the people who do suffer from this disorder and do have their lives impacted? Should they not have the proper treatment options available to them just so 99% of people can feel good about themselves?

Mental disorders are medical issues.

"Say a poor woman was in court, trying to see whether she could keep custody of her child," [Washington University Researcher Sarah] Gehlert says. "Her partner's or spouse's attorney might say, 'Yes, your honor, but she has a mental disorder.' And she might not get custody of her children."

This can be attributed a lot to milk banks being risk adverse. For liability purposes, milk banks exclude a huge number of women. Women who have chronic conditions, many medications, poor medical histories, etc. are generally all rejected. This removes a big chunk of the female population from consideration. Most

I don't know about Gap, but counterfeit Old Navy stuff is a thing. Commonly found at open air markets, flea markets, stuff like that. How do I know? Because when I was a kid, I was poor, yo. And for poor kids, Old Navy is like...a recognizable name. That shows that hey, maybe you're not wearing Hollister or

So I live in China, and while Gap is not a thing here yet, there is a huge market for counterfeit products of what we would consider to be "mall brands". Nine West, H and M, and Forever 21 are all stores at fancy malls here, and there are many street markets that sell knockoff versions of these already cheap products.

Wasn't it the Kansas City Star article that really got things going though?

I'm glad someone pointed this out, but a lot of these claims are still pseudo-science and especially in the case of the one you pointed out, nothing more than fearmongering. To develop cancer by inhaling silica or titanium dioxide, you'd basically have to a) work with those chemicals on a daily basis without wearing

I appreciate that but my point applies to most of what you've written here. Oxybenzone and parabens have not been proven to cause cancer either. What we need to be pissed off about is that a. no one is doing proper research on whether these ingredients are safe or not and b. companies are allowed to put whatever

Now playing

This is my favourite ever "thinks he's a dog"-video. I wanna watch this porcupine play all day and all night!

Could part of the dancing probs be that she like blew her knee out some years back during a video shoot? It might make her more cautious—it looked like when she was doing actual dancing and not just being "sexy" she was wearing sneaker wedges instead of heels like the rest of her dancers.

To be fair, an awful lot of people have been saying that one. Along with

China isn't quite this bad, at least not "almost half" bad. The jezebel article misinterpreted the results.

I experienced abuse by a peer as well. I am almost sure she was being victimized by an adult. This happened in the 80s when it was hard enough to get counselors to understand that we weren't "experimenting" so I don't even know if legal action could have been taken. I would rather have had someone monitor what was

I absolutely think there should be a different set of rules for minors accused of molestation than for adults. I have no problem with the idea that an adult would be on a registry for life after molesting a young child. However, if a child molests another child, it is almost always a sign that he or she has been

In addition to what Gemmabeta said, they are also very dangerous because people don't think that herbs can actually interact with anything in a meaningful way - they're often severely underestimated, which can lead to very unfortunate occurrences. So - I totally stand by their use of the word 'dangerous'.
