You obviously haven't seen those Herbal Essences ads.

So you think he was "inviting sex" (which is a horrible phrase, BTW) by sitting in a public place and performing? If so I hope you never go to any type of performance, ever.

I'm wondering if people can see this doll as a step in the right direction rather than a solution to every self-esteem issue . Giving the doll more realistic proportions tackles the issue of weight and the stickers allow kids to customize... and the acne sticker, to me, is a good thing. At least it's all stuff that…

Considering how many people are raped every year, I'm betting she will get to some moms who have also been raped or assaulted fairly easily. I can't imagine finding out my kid threatened someone like that, he'd be grounded until he moved out on his own!

Living far from family is my secret. Tomorrow my roommate and I will some good weed, eat in front of the MST3K Turkey Day marathon, and fall into a couch coma with our animals laying on us. Best. Thanksgiving. EVER.

They often do the shoots when it's convenient, so that they have less work after the announcement of the winner.

That was my thing with her, too. She's a beauty, but the way she treated others was awful. I know we don't see everything and that they edit to manipulate the audience, but I was still glad when she was booted.

It's so telling that some of the women specifically said they didn't want "the defendant's fans" contacting them. They're even scared of loony Cosby fans showing up and harassing them, and I don't blame them a bit.

Does it help to know they photoshop literally everyone?

She probably did, considering they do that to her just about 24/7.

And "gals" sounds like the Old West. :) The latter half of your first sentence was more what I was going for. I was having trouble figuring out a word other than "dehumanize" because in the military context it seemed too harsh. With your help I realize that the point I was trying to make was that in the military, it…

Well, let's see: I said nothing about you not participating here. I didn't say you weren't allowed to read, comment or anything else. You seem to have a bit of a persecution complex if you think one person commenting - asking you a question - being interested in your motivation, is telling you that you're not allowed…

Wouldn't it be amazing if we were seeing Kim's first baby steps toward getting divorced, telling her mother to shove it, and living a long and glorious life out of the spotlight with her cute baby? I mean, I know a lot of what she wanted was to be "famous" (not a famous something, just famous), but wouldn't it be…

Did you read the part about the guy who hesitated to penetrate the gang rape victim? Is that a guy who "wouldn't have raped otherwise"? Maybe he wouldn't have raped her if the guys around him weren't telling him he was a "pussy", right? That fine upstanding college boy who didn't really want to rape her, but the crowd…

Don't you think part of the way the military works is by dehumanizing people? I don't mean that as badly as it sounds, but isn't the whole point to sort of make a group work more efficiently by making everyone do the same things, dress the same, eat the same, all of that stuff - so there aren't anomalies to screw…

So, can I ask, if you refuse to label yourself a feminist, and you're comfortable in that declaration... what are you doing right now, arguing with people? You've chosen to not label yourself, fine. Why come to a blog that labels itself feminist and read articles if you've already made your decision?

More like Gwen Stefani said herself that her new song is about feminism and the writer decided to discuss that.

Someone who drinks in bars or restaurants more often than me should weigh in here, but from my limited experience, it doesn't seem like the US does that very often, if at all. Beyond bars using shot glasses that hold 2 ounces and some bars selling pints in actual pint glasses, it doesn't look like there is a lot of…

An alarm clock is not a "fun gift" for anyone. It's a gateway to having to get up at ass o'clock every damn day and act like a person you're not until you can go home, only to have a few precious hours of being a human again before you have to go to bed early, like a child, so you can do it all over again, like an…
