You know, I work for the State Department. I don't personally have a nose ring, but I know multiple people who do (also people who have various, visible tattoos- scandal!). Shockingly, they all managed to get hired, get a clearance and work at State with no issues. Likewise, there are plenty of people at State with

Publishers generally are not supposed to read things with a fine-tooth comb. And they certainly are not supposed to be making the judgement calls on what goes to print. They can offer consultation, and a good editor gives a publisher a heads-up if something is coming down the pike that may cause a headache, but in

Right? And Roseanne was wrong in her criticism of Jezebel, in what way? This Paris Jackson coverage is seriously fucked up. The Amanda Bynes non-stop idiotic updates are for what purpose. I am slowly realizing that Jezebel is becoming a hate-read for me.

It's worth mentioning that Gender Identity Disorder (GID) isn't a thing in America anymore. It was one of the fixes in the DSM5; it was decided that to classify being trans* as a mental illness doesn't make sense, much like homosexuality in the DSM-II. It has instead been replaced with Gender Dysphoria, which

I'm guessing money is a huge consideration. If she can, why pay for an extra two years of tuition and expenses?

I love my body. I spend most of my time at home in the nude. As soon as I get to a private location (my place or my boyfriend's), at least some clothes come off.

I don't think its so much slut shaming as it is attention whore /bad music shaming. I'm sick of it. She can't sing, can't dance, shows up hours late to concerts (if at all) and all her songs sound the same. Its great that she is owing her sexuality but I do not think she is genuine, rather, she is a product, or some

For their part, the parents are like, "Um, I pay like threeve fafillion megabucks (PLUS 'charitable donations') for you to sit around while my dumb kid plays Oregon Trail

I don't think he's right, exactly, as there are tons of roles for male actors where they don't care how they look but given the sorts of movies that Vin Diesel makes I can see how that might be true from his perspective.

There are two lesbians in this case - one who is potentially being targeting for her sexuality, and another who is potentially the victim of statutory rape.

I'm going to join the chorus here: This is a complete misreading of an entirely legitimate concern. He is not "mansplaining" if he is a well-qualified doctor commenting on an issue that concerns public health and safety. He's just, you know, explaining. He's not saying that women will line up and have

I wish Jez would hire a writer who is actually capable of tackling the science beat. It's funny because most of Anna's articles about science make it seem like she's just skimmed an article and done, like, a Google search on the issue before taking a position and pounding out an article about it where she's all, "THIS

Our skin's job is to protect us. It's a barrier layer that keeps chemicals out instead of letting them in. Very few chems can penetrate our skin (and forget about the other myth that skincare/makeup gets into the bloodstream). Most chemicals are just too big to diffuse through the skin - that's why companies need to

In fairness, this was a long interview, and other quotations focused on what he'd done to the victims. This particular quotation was in the context of "why would he come to pick me up and drag me into it if he knew he was caught," which seems like a fair enough reaction once you've already addressed the horror of what

First: Her partying is a very poorly kept secret.

For what it's worth, they do do a lot of awesome work in this country.

"Women, stop sexualizing yourselves—that's our job, and you're taking all the fun out of it."

I've been thinking about this a lot lately - there used to be real (bullshit, but real) reasons why it was functionally useful for a woman to be pure. If you have a society where a woman is dependent on her husband financially, where children are only acceptable in the context of marriage, and where a man wants to

Guy here, time for some mansplaining. Ya'll like that term, right? Anyway, purity is bullshit. I'd much rather be with a woman who has "been around" and knows what she wants. An experienced woman is (more than likely) to be less hung up sexually and more open. Granted, this is based entirely on my own observations,
