I wouldn't go that far. People don't get shot in Australia as much (because gun laws, for starters) but look into Aboriginal deaths in custody, why don't you?

I feel like as an Australian I should remind you about our abhorrent laws against asylum seekers which both main political parties pushed in the last election. Our 'casual racism' results in the death of boat people all the time. We have no moral high ground, our racism is just disguised as policy.

I'm a feminist guy who's been on the site for a loooong time, and I've never felt unwelcome there.

"I am advocating more open discussion with anyone who supports all rights for everyone."

Where on earth did you hear that?

Needs a BB gun and a cigarette.

Women have always worked, especially in pre-industrial times. The only population of women that ever didn't work were the gentry/nobles/rich who were afforded the "luxury" of being "ladies." Otherwise, women have always toiled in the fields with the men, brothers, husbands, whomever. That's always been life since…

Special - and NOT traditionally pretty. Being not particularly attractive and being unfeminine is huge plot point for Jo. I like Emma as quiet, girly Meg who hates being poor!

As a young woman who was harassed by Gavin(in emails)...the misogyny is strong in this one. The kind of bitterness he harnesses toward women is terrifying, I was shocked to find out he is married because I have no idea how a woman could deal with him on a daily basis.

This is kinda weird. Aren't he and Tracie bffs?

I thought this guy was a friend of Gawker. I remember his posts being shared here and him being friends with several contributors, including Tracie Egan. What happened?

I think that has to do with a weave and wigs being the new status symbols. Everyone from Lady Gaga and Katy Perry to Beyonce and Nicki Minaj are defined by the variety and quality of their very long, very fake hair. The extensions business alone is out of control, the way it rakes in the cash every year. I think we're…

Man, will her mind be blown when she finds out that many countries in Africa actually list English as one of their official languages.

This is so true. I had a relatively-well-educated aquaintance tell me that she did not see the need to vaccinate her baby until she stopped nursing because "of the immunities in breastmilk."

While I believe the women who sell have no intention of actually harming anyone and take precautions they expect to be effective, without regulation, regular testing and FDA oversight, is anyone really surprised by this?

My Lab was very overweight when I adopted her. She was slow, she kept her head down, she just seemed kind of 'meh' about the world. Everyone told us 'she's not active, she won't play or run, she's old, etc.' I was like, 'wow, a dog who was completely ignored and locked in a room all day for years with no…

If there isn't any differing opinion, then why did you get so upset with Dunham? Because her comment was pretty obviously not saying anything about medication itself being bad. She set the scene with her being underage, then talked about other parents assaulting their children with a barrage of medications, and how…

As a person with depression and generalized anxiety disorder, I didn't read it that way. I've been medicated for about seven years now and I still have mixed feelings about it - I'm grateful that my meds help me function like a normal person instead of sleeping 18 hours a day and having panic attacks during the other…
