I lived near a super high-income, heavily Mormon-populated area (near, not in, because I'm poor), and those "Yes on 8" signs were fucking everywhere. It was like a damn sea of yellow everywhere I went. On voting day, there were huge ass crowds of people blocking the streets of my working-class suburban neighborhood

Who is paying this fuckwit to be a fuckwit? Doesn't he have some kind of, like, handler or something?

The men were all just hanging out, minding their own businesses, waiting for their baby-mamas to make them a sandwich and a martini, and the women were all "nope" and CHAOS ERUPTED EVERYWHERE BECAUSE THE DISINTEGRATION OF FAMILY VALUES. THANKS OBAMA.

True story: before seeing this thread, I went to google "who appointed Justice Scalia?" I typed in "who appoint-" and the very first result was "who appointed Scalia". So a lot of people are clearly confused as to how this douche bag became one of the nine people in charge of the future of the country.

This confused me too. So...basically...even a paper that could be categorized as centrist conservative is too "shrilly liberal" for Scalia. Awesome sauce, bro. And what's up with all these women in pants suits? Dammit! In my day, ladies wore skirts! *old man throat-clearing sound*

We went with a delayed schedule for our son, but the first vaccine he got was the DTaP because—granted—some kids did have really serious reactions to the DTP that landed them in the ER (before they started using the acellular version of Pertussis), but I'd take that over my kid slowly suffocating to death. Whooping

Taylor Hanson. It was bad. My room was wallpapered with tear-outs from all the teeny-bopper magazines. I taped all the Hanson songs off the radio IN ADDITION TO BUYING THE CD. During the summer, I watched MTV obsessively in the hopes that I would see the "Mmmbop" video or some promo clip of Hanson. I was genuinely

AGH! I was totally geared up for the big moment when you guys finally did it. I'm now deeply unsatisfied and this might ruin my evening.

My husband was actually more liberal than me when we met (I was young [19ish], was raised Catholic by a woman who was insanely dogmatic and hateful even by Tea Party standards, and I was at the tail end of a neo-conservative phase). When the topics of gay marriage and abortion came up, he gave me the long side-eye

And BY THE WAY, men do not always have to be the sexual initiators. You're apparently a product of the very problem you're whining about. Boys are taught to be dominant and aggressive, so of course they would think the problem with rape culture is the blurriness they see between consent and submission.

You want to go all pseudo psychology on me? That's cool. We can do this. You know what YOUR conflation of rape, sexual aggression, and normal male sexuality tells me? That you really don't see a difference between those things. THAT is scary. Now if you want to go on feeling sorry for yourself and trying to claim a

I've literally JUST started watching Breaking Bad—like, I'm three episodes in—and what the fuck is up with all the women just being nagging bitches? WHY DO ALL THE BEST SHOWS HAVE NOTHING BUT NAGGING BITCHES FOR FEMALE CHARACTERS?! Or uppity bitches? Or passive-aggressive all-up-in-your-business bitches? AM I CRAZY?!

I love the extreme leap you just made (in such a gloriously patronizing tone, by the way! *wink*) that teaching my son to identify rape culture will magically conflate in his head as "every time you do sex with a girl, you're raping her." I can obviously see how you would make that assumption since we feminists are

Every year I try to like the pumpkin spice latte. EVERY YEAR. I keep thinking, "I must be doing it wrong—everybody loves it!" And every year I buy one and then hate the world for pressuring me into spending $4 bucks on an overly sweet vegetable-flavored drink.

Every time one of these guys throws out the word "homosexual," I always picture them saying it like they smell something bad. But they want to show that what they're saying isn't actually offensive because they're using the technical term for it rather than just calling them all Faggy McFaggersons.

I'm glad someone's finally standing up for people with dietary restrictions. I'm so sick of the whole argument that it's a bourgeois thing because poor people can't afford to have dietary restrictions. True: but that just means they can't afford high-quality, healthy food. I grew up on crap food because that's what my

So...you read a novel (a fictional book) about celiac disease and now you do not tolerate people who don't eat gluten for any other reason than they just don't like it? The fuck? Have you ever heard of a gluten intolerance? How about leaky gut syndrome? Who the hell says "I refuse to eat peanut butter because I don't

Now the real question is: Are Texans sick of Texas's bullshit?

The ever-loving fuck...

Abso-fucking-lutely. This is a great example to throw at douche canoes who insist there's no such thing as rape culture. Because guess what—sometimes rape isn't a scary guy in a hoodie grabbing a woman off the street. Sometimes it's a husband and wife on a God damned morning talk show giggling about how she sometimes
