In fact, most of the dire stats that are trotted out annually about the destructive effect of the Super Bowl on the fabric of our society (extreme increases in heart attacks, domestic violence, suicides, drunk driving, etc etc) have proven to be, at best, exaggerated, and, at worst, completely made up. They all sound…

Can't wait for your next op-ed from a sex worker.

This is not true and has been debunked so many times. This story pops up every super bowl.

I don't know if I missed the creep train or what, but I did not go through that for the most part when I did OKC. I did get a barrage of messages right away, but nothing too aggressive except for a few assholes who I promptly blocked. Never got a dick pic. Never got asked for sex. Mostly polite guys asking for a…

"Let's take pictures of our butts." - Two adult women

A lack of product isn't the issue. Our goverent has enough money to supply these products without charitable donations. The issue is their distribution.

I'm really hoping she doesn't. I love Nigella. This sounds like a terrible movie, and I'll never watch it.

A conversation that started about how you wish you could hit me? Take your conversation and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

And also i just love when white people talk to me about Social pressure.

Did you see me denying the social pressure to be skinny? Bitch you should learn how to read next time before starting to tell people how you wish to assault them.

There has been a lot of discussion on Jez over the last few days about whether or not Beyonce, who arguably does utilize her sexuality to sell records etc. gets to call herself a feminist. One person even claimed she doesn't get to call herself an "artist" because she's not Joni Mitchell or something. And yes, a lot…

It's that it tacks on an extra charge specifically for women only, for services that might actually be medically necessary, and that a woman would have to purchase it even as a precaution just in case something were to go wrong in her pregnancy. It isn't just about rape victims or choice, it's about passing a law…

This is why Florida law does not require the victim to press charges to prosecute anyway.

"Baby bride reveal" - yes.

There also seems to be two distinct "versions" of the Bassett — one for show, one for hunting. I think a more pressing issue is their joints and how fat people let them get, which is less a breeding issue than a care issue — you can clean there ears with relatively little effort, and it doesn't take much to keep them…

Yes, as the photo in the article shows. But not as ridiculously long as the ones that they breed today.

It sounds horrible, but it's also possibly untrue. If the order was made 15 months ago then it's odd to say the least that it doesn't show up in any of the CoP law reports. Also, the source of the story is one Christopher Booker who has a background of inaccurate reporting in family law by the simple expedient of not…

The article about this in Salon does a better job explaining the motive. Highly recommend, as this topic is fascinating.

don't start with this bullshit, please. france is nowhere near immune from racism - they had fucking zoos with people from africa in them. ZOOS WITH PEOPLE. - and in the modern technology age with the internet EVERYONE SEES EVERYTHING and it's a 24/7 global news cycle. so that argument that 'black face is different in…

My personal take, and perhaps someone else can correct me if I'm wrong:
