I liked it because I thought it was meant to be a specific, explicit "fuck you, you old assholes" to people who still don't like the gays in the government's fighting jobs (like the armed forces). Like, this dude is a total badass and Nixon was still like, "Ew..." and how much has changed since then, really?

Yes, this. I'm an American living in America and I find it disturbing. Not only because celebrating death is disturbing, but also because singing on the White House lawn over the death of a man who clearly demanded lots of loyalty from his very dangerous army, isn't actually going to keep anyone safer at night. At…

This is fucking hilarious.

That bugged me too. But I think her point is that in reality, it is the women who are in charge of taking care of children. Women are the primary caretakers in America, and I think that's fucked up...but it's still true. And I think her point was less about this, and more about recognizing the reality of gender roles…

Ahh. Can someone tell me what to do if it's been a long time—like almost a year—since the person did something that deserves/requires a thank-you note? I am a terrible person and a chronic procrastinator, and I owe people some thank-you notes but it's been so long that thinking about sending them the notes now…

OH MY GOD WHO DO I WANT TO MARRY MORE: QUESTLOVE OR MICHAEL IAN BLACK?!?!

That sounds like what lots of women said in 1900 about voting. "I don't want female suffrage. I'm sure there are women who want to vote, but I don't want to and never will. I hate to think that my lack of participation causes problems for my husband and his manfriends when it comes to redistricting."

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the McDonald's people weren't at fault—they definitely were. They are shitty, shitty, soulless people. They could and should have called the police, and when it's a situation in which violence takes place at your job, I think it's incumbent upon you to step in if there's any way…

Yeah I don't have a problem calling a 14 year-old sex-trafficked girl a victim.

Hmm. I don't know about this. One time my sister told me that she watched three dudes beat the shit out of another dude on the subway. She said the subway was packed, and nobody did anything, and the train driver shouted at them to stop the fight, then called the cops and drove the train full of people away. She said…

I get what you're saying, but there are all kinds of things that affect kids more than they affect adults. For example, heavy metals—lead poisoning, or mercury poisoning, will kill you no matter how old you are. But if a kid is exposed to lead or mercury at a young age, while their brains and nervous systems are still…

Eh, acting like education-level is actually an indicator of intelligence is problematic. I went to a prestigious undergrad, got an MA at a competitive university, and am now getting my PhD at an Ivy League. My partner got his BA from a mediocre state school, and an MA from a competitive state school; the BA took him…

"I also think that women's intolerance of porn is a problem in relationships"

"I think I made my point though, that debasement and rape are not the norm in mainstream porn and suggesting they are says more about the poster than society."

"Debasement and degradation aren't pretty. But they're very much a part of the human experience and sexual fantasy landscape."

When people say things like "Sex is not real life," it really concerns me. Sex is real life. Everything that's in your life, that you do or think, is real. Fiction is not real. Sex is not fictional. Pornography is not fictional—it's real people having real sex, real people watching it and really, really masturbating.…

Just because something's been with us "since the beginning of time" doesn't necessarily mean it's a good and necessary part of society. I mean, the argument that people enjoy watching other people enjoy themselves—that's an argument for the continued legalization of pornography that makes sense. It's been around for a…

I'm with you.

Generally speaking, when someone gets raped—or alleges that they were raped—the authorities do a rape kit. If the catatonic girl hadn't been raped, and there was no indication that she'd been penetrated or had any kind of intercourse or bruising or evidence of rape or sex, then it would be pretty tough for anybody to…

yeah and some men get off on rape. Its a form of exerting power, knowing that they can rape women without consequences because everyone thinks that women lie about rape charges all the time.
