100% correct. My husband is from a smallish semi-rural part of East Texas, and always said the toughest guy he ever met was the town gay dude. He got beat up as a kid and had to learn to defend himself to survive. NO ONE called him "faggot" twice. I wonder if he ever moved away?

Ah, I missed the top bit. Still, her choice of words and phrasing is...curious, I guess would be the charitable way to say it.

I always try to see the other side of a story, to figure out if there's some way it was spun to make the quoted person appear to say something they didn't...but I cannot for the life of me figure out any way that Paula Deen was not being racist. What really puzzles me is that a presumably media-savvy celebrity would…

Same here.

I guess I just have bitchface? Really, no idea. I wish I had something more concrete to tell you. Oh, it might have had something to do with all of the tattoos, I suppose. Not that there's anything you can do about THAT right now.

No one ever said that to me when I was pregnant. So I was totally unprepared when I tore from my vagina all the way to my nose and almost bled to death and....

Sorry but if you want to respond to a post CALLING OUT URBAN LEGEND NAMES by saying you know someone with that name you'd best have proof because otherwise, girl, no.

For one brief moment I was like "Who's Nicole Polizzi?" And that was beautiful.

I shave my legs and trim my pubes (hey, it's summer, I need the help), but I haven't shaved my pits in twenty years at least. You know, no one has ever said anything? I kind of thought they would. At this point I've just kind of forgotten about it.

And you don't access the internet either, clearly, since you are unaware of some basic pop culture stuff that has been hammered to death all over online...like, oh, here for example.

I tried to be that person who didn't have a TV. But dammit, I LOVE TV. And it IS better now, there's tons of good stuff on.

Hey, I'd just like to see proof of one. You could submit it to Snopes while you're at it, I bet they'd love to see.

Well goodness, doesn't he get around! Since I've heard this literally hundreds of times by people all over. Little world traveller there.

It's hard to find gender neutral baby clothes...and it's practically impossible once they're toddlers. I always shopped both sides of the baby aisle for my boys (because contrary to popular belief, pink does not kill boys on contact), but now that they're bigger, forget it. Everything is strictly gendered. And even…

I used to manage a dogwalking company, and I would have loved this technology. It would have been awesome to show clients that yes, the dog did receive a full half-hour walk, and no, it was not our fault if Fluffy didn't poop....

I hear that a lot, but in actual practice, all of the breastfeeding moms I know used just a touch of formula early on. Like, a bottle's worth, if that, and never again. I was perplexed when I read stuff about how giving any formula at all sabotages breastfeeding, because my experience does not bear that out. I agree…

I WISH I got free formula. I seriously could have used it.

My husband goes by his middle name. Pain. In. The. Ass. And I actually like his first name much better!

Haha! YES I JUST DISCOVERED THIS INTERNETS THING THERE SURE ARE A LOT OF NAKED PEOPLE, EH?

I like Donda OK - it's got that Darla feel that I, as an aging, failed hipster, find appealing. Kaidence, on the other hand, is the sort of made-up trendy amalgam that my people find unlikeable.
