No, that's not what anyone is saying at all:

What is it about people that makes them want to treat sex workers like shit?

Every once in a while, I come across an article that signals it's time to call it a day. This wins. Good night, internets. See you tomorrow.

I'm not clear how a woman who hasn't been indoctrinated into patriarchal values can genuinely integrate into Saudia Arabian culture. It would be objectionable and offensive to suggest that a girl can 'learn to love' her inevitable subjection.

It's just going to be Kimye post after Kimye post. Please stay with me.

Seven precious particles, you say?

she's anticipating the rash of callous, shitty comments (which always appear on an article that mentions drug use in connection with the victim) that will have no problem calling this woman's death deserved because of her extracurricular activities.

I'm not sure what your point is. I didn't say that the drug connection shouldn't be mentioned in news reports. I just took a moment to bring up some of the problematic ways that we (in the media and the culture at large) treat drug-related crime and its victims.

I'm saying that when drugs are involved, some people bend over backwards to downgrade deaths to "less tragic." As though the victims are somehow inviting murder by doing drugs, and therefore deserve it.

I think the most important issue in terms of equality that's working its way through the courts is the extent to which we can pursue class action lawsuits. The litigation that allows only one person to sue can be effective but what we really need to make sure is that we address systemic discrimination. For example,…

Want very fast hot chocolate? Sure, use a microwave. Or put it on a stove, you lazy asshole.

That dragon reminds me of a children's book I had when I was a kid.

The day Brazilian girls will be allowed to burn to death in their school because they're wearing too much clothing and, because, upon being rescued, they would offend the rescuers' eyes for wearing a shirt and skirt instead of a bikini, is the day when I believe Brazilian women are more oppressed.

I feel perfectly okay criticizing female genital mutilation, regardless of which culture happens to practice it.

There are health risks to this whole practice: improper sanitation, not being able to fully clean menstrual cloths in order to avoid later infections, oh, AND BEING FORCED TO CLUMP UP IN TINY SHACKS WITHOUT ELECTRICITY AND RUN THE RISK OF RAPE AND SNAKE BITE. But you go on, defending "traditions" that are just more…

I would love to see more articles like this on Jezebel. Thank you.

Excuse me, but they were Spice Girls Chupa Chups, not Spice Girls brand lollipops.

You're absolutely right. Wired posted a new interview and I thought that the photos and the story around them were so interesting that I rushed to post. Since it has been almost a year since the original post, I am going to keep it up. I do appreciate the catch, though.

Yes, I remember when Houdini performed his great "Shush, Ladies!" Disappearing Rape Crimes trick!

I noticed that she changed the language of her "mission" to reflect that the site is about making "health a priority," meaning working out comes before anything else, including kids, a bath and snuggling with the husband. The flipside, of course, is that you could argue that snuggling/kids/a bath *is* making "health"…
