Thanks! Sometimes it does feel like Jezebel is trying really hard to convince us that it's simply impossible to lose weight and we should all just resign ourselves to being fat.
A character on Degrassi: The Next Generation had a very straightforward, uncomplicated, matter-of-fact abortion. Of course the episode was banned in the US for a long time before it ever finally aired here.
The discrepancy between real-life and fictional abortion vs. adoption rates makes me angry, too. Placing a child for adoption can be a wonderful, selfless choice, but it's not as easy as it's portrayed on TV. Women who place their children for adoption, on average, suffer far more regret, guilt, and other…
So true. The movie about my abortion would be sooo boring. SO and I made jokes about the couple of protestors outside, I chatted about horses with the doctors, sat in recovery for maybe 5 minutes, then we went and got some tasty BBQ down the street. No bawling, no crumbling relationship, no lifelong emotional…
Perhaps it was your lack of control over the situation? Of all the women I've known who've had abortions, not a single one has regrets or thinks of it as "murder."
I had this old beater that blew up — literally burst into flames as I was driving down the road. I popped the hood, realized there was nothing I could do but watch my car burn, and then I just stood there. I've never really witnessed a car immolating itself before. When you see that on TV or in the movies, if you're…
Everwood, a teen drama, had a decent episode about it...for a teen drama. The show was about a big city surgeon moving his kids to bumfuck Colorado and having ongoing conflicts with the local country physician. A teenage girl gets knocked up by her adult music teacher who skips town, and her and her dad want it…
You make a lot of valid points, except for point 6, IMO. There are a lot of gay people on TV who have nothing to do with fashion or manufacturing disgust, and Hollywood has been one of the biggest reasons that LGBT's have become much more accepted.
Also, isn't it just easier to get a prostitute then stalk and rape someone? I mean if it's about sexual availability rape seems like a really complicated way of getting it.
Any time someone says He wouldn't need to rape about a rapist my skin just about crawls off my body. Who does need to rape, kind apologist? Can I see the list of people for whom rape is necessary?
I found a hidden dick in Garden State...
I'm a service animal (dog) user, and I opened this article expecting to be outraged, but . . .
What about overcrowding, safe conditions, and odor?
It's a "strop" not a "strap."
These stories of crazy racists being crazy racists in an official government capacity keep getting crazier and more racist. And I just… how? What do we do with this? How do we process this and try to fix it and move on so we can all hold hands and sing Kumbaya? It's getting harder and harder to envision that world.
Yea, that period after the civil war when the blacks were lynching white folk? We never were held accountable for that. And when we redlined and bankrupted your community to inflate our primary assets? Total dick move. And don't even get me started on those HBCUs and their exclusionary policies. Dude, you ever…
I love how every time a possibly/probably race-fueled murder occurs, they come out of the woodwork to exclaim "But blacks be shooting other blacks! So s'okay!" Nah, not exactly. If an adult black man shot at an unarmed group of white teens who were supposedly being threatening by being in their car blasting music, the…
I, for one, would like to talk about the white on white crime rate. White crime victims are overwhelmingly likely to be victimized by another white person. Let's talk about that! Clearly, there is something wrong in their culture and communities that makes this white on white crime thing happen.
