"It is ridiculous to think God made us all with a specific intent and purpose?" Actually, yeah. You have no reason - outside of some limited, culturally specific folklore that's been passed down to you - to believe that.

You could make a case based on a "technical" economic definition of nationhood that the EU is "technically" a country. But that doesn't mean it's culturally homogenous in the slightest. The US is vast and diverse, but mostly united under one language (thank you imperialism?? /s), with unique national holidays and…

Ugh I thought this said "slick and tired" and my first reaction was "ah yes someone is relaxing after some good anal sex". But no. The world is never as fun as I think it is.

I previously had no emotional investment in this movie, but now I'll be disappointed if this doesn't happen.

Yeah that was kind of an odd comment on my part. I was going to type something to explain and then posted accidentally and didn't bother to delete it (I'm a lazy arse). Basically I think the distinction might be important to some people or in some circles, but not to others, and I'm pretty down with that.

I love you with all of the love right now.

I'm of the opinion that terminology is never (and should never be) set in stone.

Not to mention, I'm sure there are plenty of trans men who would be more than willing to donate their wombs if/when this practice becomes widespread.

See on one hand I like that women are getting the opportunity to enter traditionally all-male fields, but there are some traditionally all-male fields that I wish didn't exist in the first place. So I'm a little torn about this.

That's not true. Eyelid creases occur naturally in about half the population of SK, it's a genetic trait. Eyes with eyelid creases have always been considered more attractive, and in fact, natural "double lids" as they're called in Korean look quite different from the eyelid creases that occur on white people's…

These critters are so cute I'm gonna cry.

Baby pictures are a scary fucking gateway drug for me. I have the greatest adoration for all the sweet little tiny humans and I want to scoop one up and protect them forever and name them Ulla after my great aunt or Ante after my grandfather... but I'm in my late teens and NO IT CAN WAIT. At least, that's what I…

Real talk: I'm a US size four or sometimes two, and the girl in green from the Chubbiness music video is my size. I know body type can be an ethnic characteristic and maybe Japanese women are generally more slight than white American women, but surely that's not really considered chubby anywhere... right?

As someone else already p much said, free speech means the government won't punish you for your speech. The government is punishing him with jail time. His "free speech" is absolutely not being legally protected in this case.

I honestly have a lot of respect for pro-lifers who are also pacifists and oppose the death penalty. If someone is consistent in their morality and advocates for what they truly think is right, I can't see them as a bad person. Do I lose my feminist card for this?

I'm a pop singer (albeit not a famous one), I spend a lot of time with performers, and no. Having an audience is not a pass to be a dick to people.

I think there's so much indignation in this particular case because she is SUCH an impressive person in her own right and, and has been reduced to "the woman who finally snapped up George Clooney". I also think that, since Jezebel is a feminist-oriented blog, the editors and readers here are sighing at what they see…

I think the point is that it's an over-the-top reversal of how this marriage has been portrayed by MOST media outlets, not that this is the correct and fair way to report it.

Then again, I imagine it's nice to be able to search for certain characteristics from a really large available pool rather than meeting someone, falling in love, and hoping you won't discover a dealbreaker along the way.

I was wondering this as well.
