Antibiotics are dangerous. They gave my son JennyMcCarthyitis

Ah, yes, in which straight people make the mistake of thinking that they aren't out about their sexuality.

But Lily Allen isn't talking about high school mean girls; she's talking about being jealous of every attractive woman she sees, and needing men to confirm that other women are gross in order to feel good about herself. She's putting down skinny women in order to boost her own ego. In the same breath that she's…

Calling someone out on their intolerance is not intolerant. That's calling an ace an ace and a spade a spade. Don't use that canard that is being used by haters who get called on hating.

Because enjoying sex puts us on par with you. That means we have more power over the individuals we have sex with and not, say, because our daddy said it was okay for you to marry us.

You can have an opinion but just be aware that socialization and environment have a profound impact on shaping your opinion. White people view things through a white privileged lens, this is supported by numerous academic articles, just google scholar it. I however do not have that luxury in this society, as a…

I can't really comment on this story because I'm so horrified. Horrified if it's real, and just as horrified if it's another "waitress insulted on the receipt" thing. (I've become so skeptical ...)

Some people are real shitwhistles. My husband used to get asked if our eldest son was adopted when he'd be out with him alone. Because there's no way a white guy could have a biological brown kid. If I see a blond dad, brunette mom, and a red-headed kid, I don't ask if that kid's adopted.

Wow, something that I as a nerd finally have in common with religious nutjobs: hating deviations from the established canon of my favorite fictional universes.

That's nice for you.

I don't think that's sad at all. I hope these bigoted organizations continue to drive people away until they evaporate into nothing.

Being hired as an escort doesn't make it OK to be harassed.

I mean, obviously she was hired to be his escort for the night. But I don't think that makes it acceptable that someone put on blackface and harassed her.

Nope. Rape threats function as part of women's oppression. Men are not an oppressed class. It doesn't work the other way around.

I actually have OCD. I assure you, the nomenclature over gendering the name of a profession is among the least of the things I fixate on.

Eight years of Latin and a love of outdated pedantry and you still misspelled etc.

Then the OCD in you should get with the times.

Very few female comics prefer comedienne to comedian. Same with actor/actress.

What? How can you not love Sue Perkins? She is brilliant!
