oh come on, she was like 14 and the girl had publicly accused her mom of molestation. I'm a mama's girl myself and I could have probably been capable of something similar before my brain had fully developed. It's such a violation.

Aw this sucks! I adore Hathleen Hale. At the same time, anyone who has read her (deeply personal) pieces can probably tell she's a little bit neurotic and a lot of bit eccentric. Her obsessing over something is a recurring theme in her writing.

I'm never "that person" but I can't help but notice the tone of the comments versus similar cases when the genders are reversed. Especially the 'I hope she gets the help she needs' comment.

yeaaaaah, no. I live in Paris and there is no shortage of ads like this up on similar sites

god, if I had a nickel for every time a dude has offered me an 'erotic massage' in response to a craigslist ad! Like, bro I'm just trying to sell a toaster. I swear any indication that you're female gets you creeps on craigslist

Okay I'm almost embarrassed to admit this as a writer, but I think most people's issues with the second post will come down, largely, to a matter of taste?

Pharrell's 'post-racial' thing doesn't feel like denial and delusion to me. I think because of his talent and personality (and probably his looks) his experience has been genuinely different from a lot of us. But I also wonder whether his experience is becoming increasingly common and whether that alone can validate…

I know he's not voguing but I have a feeling he'd say he was if you asked him? If that makes sense.

I've only heard it called 'a split.' Looked it up, apparently it depends on what type of English you speak?

Is calling it 'the splits' a regional thing? Second comment I've seen about 'the splits'

oh please it's not a back hand. It's a critique of her looks in response to another critique of her looks. I find her appealing as well, I just think that without the cool make up and hair color and tattoos she'd be very ordinary. (Not unattractive.) it's something I noted after looking at her for a bit and trying to…

That sheep in the photo is so judgmental. I don't even copulate with animals (non-human animals I mean) and that sheep is making me feel guilty.

I want to know what Velcro gloves have to do with fucking animals but I also do not want to know :((((

"squirrels will come out of hiding and look for nuts once again"

I think it's mostly the hair and make up? I love the hair color, it's very pretty.

WHY

I'm not wrong, I said 'a lot' not 'all.' A lot of Polynesian dance forms, for example. And the Mapouka, one of the African dances you're probably referring to, wasn't only performed by women and certainly was not only used to attract future husbands/wives. Many of these dances are involved on religious ceremonies or…

I don't think voguing is about seduction? It appears (to me) to be more of a 'fuck, I'm fabulous' thing. I don't think it's inherently sexual.

Well duh. He's a gay tween yes and his dancing is hilarious, not seductive. He's obviously imitating what he finds interesting but the funny isn't really about his intent, it's about how goofy he looks. For me anyway.

are you saying you'd find it seductive if an adult man did it? I'd find it real gay
