Oh come the fuck on. Just because it "could" happen and sometimes "does" happen doesn't mean that it's common or even not-unusual. Just about everybody I know with kids had them in their late 20s to early 40s, so let's stop pretending like movies aren't completely fucked up with their casting just because of some…

The same argument could be made with Tammy. McCarthy is 43 yrs old but is her character? In this case, couldn't we have the happy situation of a 43 yr old woman cast to play a younger woman, rather than a fifty and sixty something cast to play older?

I work for a family where both the gorgeous 45-year-old mom and the gorgeous 13-year-old daughter are actresses. They recently both went to a casting for a film, mom going for the mom role and daughter going for the daughter role. Daughter got called back, mom was told that she was too old. Too old to play her own…

There are some actors who look years younger than they are. McCarthy is such an actress. And there are others who can play older well. One of my favorite screen performances is Angela Lansbury (who, all respect to the lady, transitioned to mature roles fairly early on her career) in The Manchurian Candidate, who…

When my wife and I were looking for a church (before I went full atheist) we went to several local churches. One, St Veronica looked nice, but their website contained a screed from the priest about how women are evil and awful and therefore unfit to serve the altar.

Praying works about as well as snapping your fingers to conjure things or twitching your nose like Samantha on Bewitched, so whoop-de-fucking-do. Can't you people with your delusions of invisible men in the sky keep your bullshit to yourselves and leave sane people alone in peace?

If you don't want people to think less of you, then don't stick your nob in other people's medical decisions.

The "we're all human" defense has become a loophole in the patriarchal system. Whenever someone is called out for making a statement that is misogynistic in nature, all they have to say is, "What? This happens to people of ALL genders!" and they're in the clear with those who are like minded.

Women have to choose, women have to think about it, men don't. This is a fact. Until men can be pregnant, breastfeed, and experience centuries of patriarchal oppression it will remain a fucking gender issue. I'm saddened that they roped Martha into this nonsense.

Seriously, do men EVER get asked this? It's assumed they provide the truly valuable parenting ——intellectual, spiritual, political, whatever——while women just wipe asses and do the shit work.

From personal experience, the protesters skew older, like the social security/pensioner set, with nothing else to do than make already distressed people feel even more distressed.

Oh, but they do! And there's a grocery store right next door to the PP on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston (the buffer zone that they always showed in news articles), and if you even dare to try to shop there in the morning for groceries and pass by the PP, you get harassed by protesters (if you're female, of course).

From my time in Boston I found that they mostly protest on the weekends. Hatemongers have to keep down jobs too, probably at puppy-kicking farms and the DMV.

I actually can't beleive some people wake up in the morning, put their shoes and their coat on and go protest outside abortion clinics everyday.

Nicholas Sparks is the Thomas Kinkade of the literature world.

Re/ Miranda Lambert bob:

Why would I open my heart to get hurt again????

The defendants' lawyer is pissed that the child porn law is being applied in a way he claims is outside of the intention of the law and vows to fight the charges tooth and nail.

"not that I'd risk offending her by asking" — I'll just write it into my story, passive aggressively.

I'll have you know that I invested a lot of time and effort into my rape me outfit.
