I think it's one of those things that EVERYONE started saying. Like "can't even" or "cool story bro." It may have seemed cute at one time, but now... I can't even with the girl crushes. I think it's worth examining the "no homo" implications of it, since many people tossing girl crushes around may not in fact think of…

yes, but if someone bigger or stronger has already grabbed you or tackled you, the taser is staying in the purse.

It was not my impression that she is living as a perpetrual victim, just that she is pointing out how it can hit you any time how vulnerable you are to those with bad intentions. And how unless you are a martial arts expert, the average female cannot fend off the average bad man, even a scrawny wimpy looking bad man. …

I know it's terribly cruel to body snark minors, but that kid they got for the dreadful american "About a Boy" does not look like he has even surprise! stud potential. Nicholas Hoult, in retrospect, does have a pretty face under that awful hair.

I told myself that years ago. I've been wearing men's briefs most of my adult life. They are the shit. My boyfriends have usually thought it was cute, and have been known to say such things as "your ass looks good in those" or "You look sexy." They cover your whole butt, they are made out of cotton, they do not get…

Seems to be me like the "calling out" should fall much more heavily, if not entirely, on the the gatekeepers rather than on the individual creators. I don't think individuals should be piled upon too heavily for "writing what they know" or representing themselves first and foremost, at least if it's stuff that has…

also too big kids in the 90s

It pretty much summed up a lot of what's wrong with the USA.

I saw them on the news commenting on the pre-sale success of their "film." The dude was all "it's the perfect intersection of free enterprise and Christianity." *Vom*

My version of this is that after the total annihilation of humans (somehow, without a trace), the aliens will look at our artifacts, like mens shoes and womens shoes, and maybe underwear too, and determine that 2 different species lived side by side. The female species will be hypothesized to possess bird or horse…

I'm sure those exist. i'm talking about the ridiculous suggestion that it is so important for an adopted child to have their birth culture represented at home that infertile white ladies ought not bother. One of the supportive commenters on that shit post said that the reason she was going to go IVF was to have the…

remember a week or so ago when Jezebel subjected us to this insufferable person who doesn't think that willing humans are adequately qualified to raise other-colored humans in need? http://groupthink.jezebel.com/the-towering-i…

I love her way with words. I am glad she closed with the "deeper business" of inner beauty though, since there are lot of women of all colors who never get called beautiful (for their looks), and they should feel self-acceptance too and not have to sweat it.

Well, it does illustrate the fact that they are in fact deeply unattractive sacks. Seeing oddball garments on an extremely skinny, leggy model-type body makes almost everything look good - because it's just material draped over a shape we've been trained to idealize and envy and enjoy looking at. Shit clothes, nice…

I am not understanding the suggestion that a history of being a pathological liar and known fantasist should be cordoned off from a rape accusation. Yes there is the unfortunate history of the myth of false rape accusations, but really, it is not a world away from lying about cancer or making up babies or deaths or…

Then handful of trans models are certainly not "the problem" but they are a part of the problem, if the problem is "a beauty standard that is unattainable by most women." So the inclusion of a trans model who happens to embody a body type similar to "cis" model and unattainable by most is great for trans…

I feel like the female derogatory words are definitely comparable to racial slurs, as far as who can sling them, and does it mean something different if a man says it. If a man calls me a bitch, there's a sexist element to it, because it's othering, it adds femaleness to the complaint about me. But I expect "bitch" to…

Nice quip. But this guy already is very famous and very critically acclaimed (if not as famous or Jezebel commenter acclaimed as songbird Miley Cyrus). If anything, he may be a bit on the decline, as he's been on the scene for over a decade now, and being a teenage prodigy doesn't last forever. I'm a great fan of…

Here's another swell version I just became aware of. I'll keep posting it around until the commentariat embraces it. I'm stuck in the gray, and here I have this great thing, that if people really think Miley "has it," people are gonna dig.

Someone on the Gawker version of this post just shared this really cute cover. Everyone should be making a fuss over this chick.
