Excuse me, but the circumcision of the penis is not intended to curb sexual desire. It began as a method of promoting health and cleanliness (I can only imagine this is because both Jews and Muslims are from crusty desert regions or there was just too much smegma for eveyone’s taste, who’s to say?)

With all due respect, male circumcision is not even close to the same as FGM.

The answer to your questions are:

Yes, thank you! I work in a library and wanted to say the same thing. Even aside from the slippery slope of removing objectionable materials (shuddering just thinking about that can of worms—what’s objectionable? To whom?), the whole point of libraries is equal access. We can’t cater to one person’s views because…

I’m with the librarian about Point #2. You can’t expect a library to get rid of all the children’s books with subtle sexist messages. Even if the library just got rid of all the books with OVERT sexist messages, it wouldn’t carry any European fairy tales. (Except Hansel and Gretel. Gretel’s a badass.) I think the…

Here’s the issue. There is an entire continent here, that was once filled with a wide variety of people, all with different cultures and belief systems, who had their own complicated internal and external politics, including intertribal wars. All of these complex belief systems, all of these cultures, were condensed…

Any of the veterans would have killed it more than he. Even the current corspondents.

This is clearly who was meant to head the post Stewart DS. Noah is screwed. The alums of the DS are eating his ratings. And they deserve it for the work they’re all doing.

Kinkajous are very, very cute:

Sure, the DHD is broken, and the ZPM is drained, but there’s a really nice working gate, and an Ancient drone weapon, so by all means, let’s get down there and start melting.

he really needed someone to bounce ideas off of, someone who could have kept him away from his worst instincts

I generally agree, but I have to object to this:

Thank you for that...um...it just makes me want to..

The toys you actually buy for them.

I’m kind of floored. Some of these comments are straight up CUNTY. And I don’t use that word very often. Most of them sound like they need to work on loving themselves, which I hope they do.

Wow some of these comments are fucking terrible. It’s like a bunch of Regina George’s descended into the comments to talk shit. Super disappointed in the Jez community on this one, not that my approval matters or anything, but yuck. Awful.

That’s amazing and very illuminating.

Scene- My bedroom, 2 AM, after a bottle and a half of wine.
Players (In a theatre sense, not like, a gross way to say ‘lovers’ or whatever)- My husband and also my me.

We were young, early 20’s, shitty on wine, having laugh sex, where we sort of clumsily bounced around the bedroom, laughing and not totally putting all…

I’m not one of those people who despises Kim Kardashian. I’ve tried to be, but I lack the will to care about her with any degree of intensity beyond that which I feel for breakfast cereal. Which is to say: essentially nil. I think she’s vapid and self-absorbed but is, on the whole, a decent person who works hard and…
