@smmo: I know exactly what you mean. My little one is 20 and I know that face so well.

I painted my nails religiously all through junior high but there was just no way that my mom was gonna pay for professional mani/pedis so it didn't become a regular thing until I was well into my 20s.

@Peppermint: And for a middle class white girl with a lot of media coverage, they probably will be. If she were Black or Latino and male in a "high crime" area, she might have been beaten or shot after kicking the officer. And there probably wouldn't be much news coverage of it either.

@snacktastic: I think that you've made a great point and it's unfortunate that this could have been a moment for real discussion but instead turned into a competition about who's a better, more empathetic, less selfish person.

@coffeeandkombucha: Totally hyperbolic. I work in a big swanky law firm in a big swanky town and it's not really like this.

@Cairn Awaits MizJenkins: Also known as "tax fraud" and a federal crime.

Ok, so the content is asinine but surprisingly, this is actually pretty well written. That Chris Millis is one talented guy if he can make something like... uh, this cogent and playful with a consistent tone and very clear themes.

I could knit those fuckers in 20 minutes. I'll only charge you $250.

@HarpMadness: Also anecdotal but for me, I take great satisfaction in ordering "bad" things because I think it balances some of the parenting sacrifices that I've made and that's disordered too.

@AthertonMerriweather: I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say most but I do believe that what some might describe as disordered eating (where food serves a purpose other than nourishment and satisfaction) is far more widespread than eating disorders and it's rarely discussed as something that is problematic because it…

@sekushinonyanko: But I think the point is that Eminem is not the face and voice of a cultural movement that describes itself as politically revolutionary.

@stealthird: I agree so hard. Immortal Technique's deep hypocrisy is so unsettling to me. It shows such an absence of true self-reflection, how does he imagine an equitable society where women are only objects and punchlines? And ultimately it undermines the cause because women are either alienated and reject it…

@sensitivitycop: And it's hilarious to say out loud. Makes me giggle every time.

@sensitivitycop: behinus

There's one of these billboards on my street and I have to drive past it every morning to take my little brother to school. Luckily he's old enough that we can have a normal conversation about it but how many 6 year-olds are driving by that just as they're learning how to read?

@Bellzar08 - Destarred'10: Don't forget that there a female rappers too like Jean Grae and Medusa.
