Agreed. I think she meant exactly what she said for the reason you've stated; I also sincerely doubt that she possesses the educational background or depth of thought to know what sharecropping or peonage is.

Can we also discuss how Palin probably really meant to use sharecropping or peonage instead of slavery in her statement? I'm just saying, let's at least be accurate when we're making ill-advised comparisons.

Actually, I'm male, so I get 100% of the credit for my contribution, plus the majority of the credit for any contribution made by a woman earlier in the conversation who contributed to my encapsulation.

I agree with you completely. I am compassionate and I want to make a difference but jesus christ on a gluten free cracker, I can only take so much.

I wish they would make dolls for children with different bodies, especially limb differences. I'm sure this is meaningful to adults, but I would think they're much more adjusted to being different than my 2 year old is to the fact that one of her legs and feet are shorter/smaller than the other.

As a person with Cerebral Palsy and scoliosis who uses a wheelchair at all times, this made me feel so happy. PWDs often feel like an invisible minority in the world. We talk about LGBTQ folks, gender identity and expression, feminism, racism and much more in society, but we hardly hear about people with…

So bored. Very sit. Much Lena. Many snores.

Helen Mirren circa now

Hooray for intelligent comment! Laura Beck is a Jezebel contributor and she usually posts stuff in support of compassion to animals (including "food" animals).

GODDAMMIT. Being vegan to lose weight is so, so off base in principle, and will be abused in practice. Veganism requires careful control and supplementation in your diet or else it will result in awful deficiencies. It is not a fucking weight loss plan. It may cause weight loss, but it is not the goddamned Master…

"My eyes eye him, as eyes do."

Seriously? Promoting that women love themselves no matter what their size is not "celebrating the awesomeness of fat", it's an attempt to help bring attention to the fact that there is NO ONE PROPER WAY TO HAVE A FUCKING BODY.

My problem was that my dad told me he'd have me committed if I called the authorities.

There's a child in this exact situation right now. If I knew who and where, I'd want to call adult help for them, even knowing how ineffectual CPS is. I wouldn't want to tell the kid to handle it alone, no matter what.

A horrifying beast that terrifies children, beating them with reeds? I'm pretty sure Kris Jenner wouldn't take kindly to the competition...

Kardashian Kristmas needs more Krampus !
