While I agree that Anthropometry is an interesting study, unfortunately it has been used far too much as a justification for racism.
I think that the pros and cons of anthropometry would be an interesting conversation to have (I personally don't know much about it, though I've found a few sites I want to read) - but I…

Damn, that's depressing.

If you want to bring science into this, than race is a culturally established, not biologically established, classification. There is no more difference, biologically speaking, between a white woman and a black woman than between two white women. The differences in facial structure, skin tone, etc are all due to…

I enjoy that Braison answered "strong opinions" for his weakness when it comes to women. For a young person, that's a pretty good answer.

I always crave McDonalds and other fast food but hardly ever bring myself to eat there because I just don't know what I'm eating. I know they say "all white meat" but do I really believe it?

Double post, sorry!

I love the comments "I know at least a hundred other men and only ONE would probably ever rape a girl" and "at least 99.99% of men are good enough not to rape".

I'm honestly surprised that they don't push birth control for the sole purpose of women not having to deal with their menstrual cycles while in certain situations (for ease, to lower supplies needed, so they don't attract bears and witchcraft, etc). My boyfriend has said that when he was in the army (he hated it, he…

I have a question for anyone who happens to read it and knows the answer or may have some insight.
Since the DSM is doing away with the Gender Identity Disorder diagnosis, will prisoners be awarded the same protections/services (I use those terms loosely) when it's not considered a mental illness? Will it be…

I have nothing to add except to say that I completely agree with you. Even if you did agree to be policed, they are old enough to know that certain times warrant certain behavior and a funeral is not a place to "police" anyone for their language.

I would much rather hear "shit" than "poop" or "dookie". I don't know why - maybe the combination of the hard "p" sounds or the hard "d" and "k" sounds together.

Apparently I called my aunt a "fat ass" when I was a child. I also said "mommy you're a bitch" when I was three because she made me stop doing something I wanted to do. My mom and aunt still love to tell these stories - luckily I have a pretty laid back family and my mom more concerned with not laughing in front of me…

I had strong feelings of confusion prior to puberty, and by 11 I knew I was attracted to women even if I did not wish to admit it to myself. I can't speak for everyone, but for me personally, I definitely knew.

The more horror stories I hear about chronic pain sufferers being treated like malingerers or overly sensitive weaklings the angrier I get. Why would anyone choose to continue on a path towards surgery? Or a life that means fighting for proper medical care? Or choose to live a life that is barely living at all? For…

I met my current boyfriend through a mutual friend of ours. We fell in love and within three months of meeting we moved in together. It was my first time moving out of my house (I was 20) and I was nervous and excited and scared and so, so happy. My parents were surprisingly supportive (although they still kept my…

Youtube has made it extremely easy to see the overwhelming numbers of ignorant and generally disgusting people in this world. Well, Youtube and 4Chan... and maybe Yahoo Answers. Possibly Reddit. I can't even read the comments on a local newspaper without feeling my faith in humanity flicker before slowly dying out.…

This was my first thought as well. These women have worked hard for their business and sought an education when they could have ridden on their acting money for the rest of their life. That's commendable. They certainly deserve to be where they are and not compared to the likes of Kris Jenner and "tan mom".

It makes me sad to say that as a teenager I really liked Jenny McCarthy (this is WAY before all the "vaccines cause autism" damaging to everyone BS). She wrote a rather amusing book called JenX that I loved to read over and over. I don't know what happened to her along the way, but she seemed that at one point she was…

I wonder if she would become a feminist if SHE were in the position of being oppressed or considered "lesser than". The fact that she doesn't need to earn money or fight for any rights puts her in the position where she is protected from the need to be "militant". Money is a wonderful protector.
However, how any woman…

Sadly, this is still progress. At least he didn't say something like "choosing to be gay". Still... it will be a wonderful day when the separation of church and state means something. If that were the case though, gay marriage wouldn't be an issue (or at least not an issue that one could argue with "because the bible…
