Isn't Oberst going to the ends of the earth to defend himself a good thing? We hear about rape culture all the time; if he's claiming a "ruined reputation," isn't he trying to put as much distance between himself and sexual violence as possible? His acknowledgement that sexual violence is fucking awful is propelling…

And Gawker can't help but take money to promote misogyny.

Finally a venue that the Rays could sell out.

Oh, burn. Your ad hominem attacks are to the man, man.

God, fuck this comment so much.

This is why I won't tell my kids to not talk to strangers. If I tell them to modify their behavior, it'll just excuse the child abductors.

I covered much of this in other responses. Among them:

The author had no problem defending "fat people" when reporting on a recent medical study:

The point is that the author thinly disguises her disgust with Frederickson's body.

hahahahaha, Yes. The author collected "sources" to act as her proxy in body snarking. She offered five paragraphs of said sources criticizing Frederickson's body and then, in an effort to act (fair and) balanced, tacked on a differing opinion wasn't even contradictory; instead the counter-opinion was that the…

Here's the obligatory "I can't wait to see this on Jezebel!" post.

This is why nothing can get done in this country anymore. Rush Limbaugh sees conservatives as victims of liberals and liberals see themselves as victims of conservatives. It's the aggrieved olympics.

If the airlines purposefully make seats that obese people don't fit in, why is that the obese person's fault?!

Dude gets so much heat in the Philippines.

Tugboat's a hard act to follow.

Oh, I'm in no way saying that he's actually going to appoint a female Cardinal. I'd be shocked if he did. That being said, I think he's making important progress in reforming the Curia, and I truly believe that those reforms will lead to a great deal more influence by women, lay or otherwise, in our lifetimes.

So your argument is: since there hasn't been a lay cardinal since 1899, Francis won't appoint the first female Cardinal ever. I don't follow. Simply, there's a precedent for unordained Cardinals and Francis could use this precedent to appoint women to high offices in the Vatican without engaging in the more…

Not true. There are lay cardinals. Duh.

And who are the people that give two shits about celebrities and their lives? Women, that's who. Women are their own worst enemy.
