I do not find Mia Farrow's graphic illustration of the destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter to be as shocking as the actual destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter.

Why do you think this video is bull? It's meant to be somewhat of a lens on the practices that you are decrying, lending criticism to them.

I wish that the budding MRAs could find the pro-feminist men's movement. RW Connell's Masculinities is a bit dense, but pretty much all about the ways patriarchy hurts men, and generally accepted by third-wavers. And Michael Kimmel's stuff is normally very accessible.

Yeah, posting on their "men's rights" board wouldn't be any indication that MRAs would be there to read it and stuff. That's just silly!

Men's Rights: Because it's about damn time men had a voice in this world.

how uplifting to see all the jezebel commenters take a break from regaling us with stories about that time someone said something that if you twist it enough could be interpreted as being sexist/racist/sizeist to promote various and sundry types of animal torture.

I am so surprised at the reactions of many Jezebel readers. "I don't care. I'm cold"?? "Geese are assholes"?? Really? Animals are not mean or assholes. They act on instincts. And if their kind has been having their feathers ripped out of them while they're alive, then I'm guessing their instincts are right.

The thing that really weirds me out is the volume of commenters that explain that a goose was mean to them once, so that justifies holding the rest of it's brethren down, and ripping their feathers and skin off while they scream. There are lots of people, animals, and things, I had bad experiences with, but that

You not only have poor reading comprehension, but you seem not to grasp how cultural inferences influence the tone and meaning of language.

Oh my lord, this literally made me gasp and my eyes filled with tears. I had no clue.

And let me say, I have birds. I know well how sensitive their bodies are. They also have very thin delicate skin, with the area under the wings and on the chest being super sensitive. This isn't even like having your hair pulled

Skinny doesn't automatically equal beautiful isn't the same as skinny and beautiful are mutually exclusive.

This obviously wasn't meant to mean no skinny person is beautiful, ever, but rather: skinny does not equal beautiful in that there is more to beauty than body shape. It's quite hilarious to see so many skinny people here butthurt about such a harmless comment. Try living as a fat person just for one day and you will

Nope. You're wrong.

I think that's what 1437wren meant. "Skinny is not the same as beautiful" doesn't mean that "skinny is ugly," just that there is beauty beyond skinny.

This came off mighty ethnocentric

Religious holidays can and do become secular over time. Plenty of nonreligious people do Christmas.

The winter solstice was celebrated by various pagans. That's where all the stuff about the tree comes from, as well as the fact that so many cultures have a December feast. When Christians came along and forced people to convert, they kept some of the pagan traditions and just jammed Christ into them, and voila -

OMG WAT. Another Jezebel post covering animal welfare kinda-sorta?!

HELL yes to that Unturkey. In lieu of time and ingredients, I'mma be basting my own Tofurkey for my family and skipping the mashed potatoes because sorry, y'all, thems is gross cold mush. Brussel sprouts forever.
