Thanks for the history lesson.
Good luck with your deep feelings of sadness whenever you pick up an old book.

It's called historical context.
If you can't utilize that framework when reading books written before the last two generations, I'm not the one living in a fantasy world.

You should probably stay away from all literature written prior to to 1975. :/

Really?

Rooney Mara casting is BULLSHIT. Fuck everything about that.
This is not to say that I hate Peter Pan. Why are we hating on Peter Pan? Stop hating on Peter Pan.
Rihanna and Drake - please happen. <3

I am truly perplexed at the apparent war against the selfie.
Phones have cameras. People snap pics of themselves.
Whatever problems we have, can we all just agree that people taking selfies are not the cause of these problems?
I can't believe I just typed that...

Thank you. :)

You said this so succinctly, and so well.

Thanks.
Who knows how long it will be here.... :/

Can you guys stop deleting my posts? Graying me for voicing a dissenting POV is bad enough.

Not saying "pussy" while sexting is news to me...
Why would anyone say "vagina" while sexting or sex'ing? "ooh pound my VAGINA big boy!" ...huh?

It's SO UNBELIEVABLY AWFUL AND STEREOTYPE-Y. I couldn't even believe it.

What I'm taking away from this + the comments:
Basically, you can't win and you will never please everyone.

Agreed. In fact, I think that Beyonce's album is about 100x sexier than all the other trying-hard-to-be-sexy pop artists out right now BECAUSE she is in a loving, committed relationship. The emotional currents are real and deep, and it shows.
