I would love to see this but with balls. #thatgirl

I guess it's just me, but I thought this was a whole lot of zzzzzzzzz.

I'm no Jon Gosselin fan, but I don't blame him. Being hounded by the paparazzi would probably make me go off the deep end too. He didn't try to shoot her. He was just protecting his privacy because he doesn't want to end up with paps following him around again.

I must be misunderstanding here, what does microbiology have to do with the shallow industry? Why would microbiology majors be better than her at dancing?

I hate when I click on an Upworthy link on Facebook before I realize it's Upworthy. Those pop up "surveys" are maddening!

I'm cool with her selling the tickets. Personally I think that was a really light punishment and it should have been worse, and I say that as someone who regularly ran off like a trollop to a guy's house to dry hump and make out.

I actually respect the mom for laying the hammer down and selling the tickets. I don't respect her airing her daughter's dirty laundry in public like that.

Tangentially related:

UGH I cannot imagine a life where I had to shave my legs this regularly. I mean, I cannot remember when I last did. And I don't have that pretty light fuzz, I have man-hairy legs and I don't GAF. Television seems too hard.

Thank you! We don't need MORE people buying into this bullshit.

This argument doesn't just end at people writing books. Her argument applies to so many in the NGO world, too. People talk about arrogant bankers and politicians, but jesus me, there are countless arrogant, patronizing, selfish, appropriating NGO do-gooders running around those parts, too. Rarely have I seen as much…

*Transposes sentiments to western women trying to "save" Muslim women from their oppression*

This is the problem with it: "Men are taking better care of themselves." Shaving your legs isn't taking "better" "care" of yourself. At all. And it reinforces the idea that women (and now men) who don't shave are somehow apathetic slobs.

Isn't her anecdote exactly as worthwhile (or worthless, depending on your perspective) as your implied anecdote?

"you're really better off learning stuff outside of academic channels if you can manage to do so, because professors and other academics tend to be stuffy, egotistical assholes who think they're infallible." does not describe even one of my college professors from my women's studies major at a small liberal arts…

Morning! Happy hump day!

Oh god, everything that Azealia Banks says now makes my brain scream "WHO THE FUCK CARES, GIRL?!" She ruined any chance there was of liking her/respecting her opinion so long ago.

Meh. It doesn't have to be. When you're an exec in media at that level you actually have a role in dictating pop culture.

I'm 24 weeks pregnant, and on one of the message boards I lurk on, a woman just lost her baby at 22 weeks. The baby was very much wanted and loved, it was a girl. She had a major complication, followed by an infection, and started losing amniotic fluid. They told her it was hopeless, baby was not going to make it, but…

Don't have access to the study but is this not the study that concluded that porn makes sexist men more sexist with no impact on those who are neutral or feminist? Correct me if I am wrong because I would hate to think Jez got another science story wrong.
