Right. I'll just pull a gun on a guy who I find threatening. Great choice! Esp. drunk! I'm sure my focus would just be spectacular and lets not forget I live in a pedestrian heavy city where a misfired weapon could easily kill someone. Thanks for the helpful comment! It WOULD be better to kill someone than take…

I knew this would be a top response to this. Genuine question.... it seems likely that the police consider the rapists to be the primary problem, not women making themselves vulnerable. Do you really think they should just tell women at UCSB to just go about their business as usual, so as not to blame the victim? Is…

I mean, I'm all for railing against victim blaming. . . but in the short term, I think it's solid advice to reinforce to folks to be hyper-aware of their safety. Sure, long term (and starting IMMEDIATELY) the school needs to devise a real plan for stopping the actual causes of these types of attacks. . . but in the…

I'm rewatching the series on Netflix and Scully's faces are priceless!

I love small-government, pro-business politicians who try to use the government to prohibit private businesses from acting freely.

You have given me hope :-)

That's a different discussion, entirely, and one someone should have with him to better educate him on the topic. Not arguing there at all. BUT, the fashion industry is not using diverse trans models, either. Only the same old tall, thin, slim hipped model.

Your rage is also misplaced, however. Gunn has repeatedly called for more diverse shapes on the runway. He disapproves of using tall, skinny, white women, and has said so many times before. He was saying here that designers are using trans models, who specifically fit all the boxes of cis-female models, as a guise of…

Sometimes on this site and Gawker if you are not 100% PC all the time you will be attacked mercilessly. There is NO room for being conflicted about an issue. I thought Gunn's comments displayed empathy and great thought. Now I will prepare for the barrage of hate.

He's asking for more body diversity. He is saying that designers are using trans models as a way to present "diversity" while clinging to the same body types. He's long said he wants to see more diverse shapes on the runway, and he is positing that many transwomen have the traditional model body type- i.e., slim,…

I think people are conflating what he's saying. He is saying that designers are using trans models as a way to present "diversity" while clinging to the same body types. He's long said he wants to see more diverse shapes on the runway, and he is positing that many transwomen have the traditional model body type- i.e.,…

You know, I don't have a huge problem with an adult admitting that an issue is complicated and trying to think it out. Transgender issues and rights are relatively recent discussion points, so I don't fault people in not immediately jumping to the "correct" conclusion and worldview. I'm not saying we should give…

Hey now, I'm a Californian who even gave my kid the optional vaccines (Gardasil, and chicken pox was optional at the time).

they haven't even confirmed it's a virus...and making fun of anti-vaxxers is ALWAYS appropriate.

Hey Jezebel it's sort of a HUGE detail you left out of the article (that has been reported in every single other article about this) that ALL five of these children had been vaccinated... A perhaps you could have spared everyone from the "those anti-vacciners did it..." rampages. The kids were all vaccinated and this…

Dude I did not know that, and now I'm even more 100% sure that pregnancy is never gonna happen for me.

Listen, my ma taught me good old-fashioned hosting manners. This includes, say, taking people's coats, and keeping hot coffee and tea on hand. However, I'm pretty sure that in the event a guest tried to take up residency in my abdomen, traditional etiquette would not dictate that I had to continue inviting them to…

If you use that same terminology against the forced birth crowd, they will go insane and go on and on about how only the lowest kind of person could equate a precious baby with a parasite. When one of their own does it? Not so much as an eyebat.

Well, they take up your nutrients and deplete your calcium. I'm always freaked out by that. A baby basically gets it's bones by taking away the mother's bones. A woman has something like 10% less bone density after pregnancy. *Shudder* Yeah I'm not doing that. Ever.
