My armchair psychologist's view (disclaimer: I do have a PhD in psychology. I am not a trained or licensed therapist. Like Stuart Smalley, I am a member of several 12-step programs).

Hey, thanks. We enjoy hearing about male privilege. Tell us more.

Well of course it was consensual. I mean, if they didn't like it, they would have left, right?

Castro just gave his statement, claiming "most" of the sex in the house was consensual, that there was "a lot of harmony" in the home, and that he has a sexual addiction. Unfuckingbelievable. (I mean, very fuckingbelievable, but my god.)

I think this is kind of a false dichotomy. I'm very aware of rape culture but I totally could have written the comment "Couldn't get into this article. I smile at people I pass on the street, not because I want them to like me but that's the way I am. My children are the same and if someone told them they were cute or…

I've been thinking a lot about "Don't feed the trolls" with respect to feminism. I get that it may be internet etiquette, but I think in terms of feminism it requires something different, especially given the expectation that women should not respond to criticism.

On the other hand, though, this week someone created a parody account of my dead father to harass me because of my stance on rape jokes...

I've definitely had random dudes think I was smiling at them, just because the inside of my head is a hilarious place! Then it gets worse when I sort of blush and look away.

Hmm, I wonder what could have possibly caused that estrangement. I wonder if, during the divorce proceedings, Simon will show up and critique their marriage.

You are a 1st generation American.

*ahem* Half-Blood Prince I think you mean

I don't understand why this article is creating some kind of dichotomy that at a wedding you either get all gifts or all cash. Even if you create a registry and ask for actual gifts, cash is always still an option that a lot of people exercise, especially if they know the couple is just starting out, or one of them…

If we're going to talk about how class enters into wedding gift giving, then let's make sure we do it properly: many people give gifts (even, gasp, off-registry gifts!) because actual gift-gifts can be found at a bargain, and they cannot afford to give a cash gift that they don't feel embarrassed by. A gift is a…

Excellent dye job

"I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him... and teach him to rule the British Empire."

I always suspected the Queen only owned one suit, and just dyed it different colors.

Isn't it possible that she meant the appropriation of ratchet culture, but didn't know to express it in those terms? I can see how someone unaware of the term "ratchet" (and the style markers by which it is defined) would describe that which Bieber is appropriating in terms of the group of persons with whom the style…

"And Royal Gynecologist Marcus Setchell actually gave up drinking at least a month before the baby came"

Brilliculous?
