What? Did you read her comment? She's not saying that we can't judge Josh Duggar—I judge the hell out of him—only that we don't know if he's a pedophile. Which is true—he hasn't been medically evaluated, so no one knows if he's a pedophile (attracted to children) or if he was molesting based on who was available to…

Money and power :(

A father who resorts to psychological torture most commonly seen in Nazi camps as punishment for any transgression is probably more than a little contributing factor to his daughter’s depression and ultimate suicide.

If your kid is pregnant or has a drinking problem, they need help, not discipline.

If you look through other articles, this isn’t the whole story. From what I have read elsewhere: He also smashed her guitar, burned her clothes, forced her to drop out of a school campaign, and organised an event with the principle to have her publicly mocked in an assembly hall.

This man took a video of himself blatantly abusing his child and then posted it online. He has no one to blame here but himself.

Forcibly chopping off someone’s hair is a psychological torture tactic. It's abusive and traumatic and absolutely not reasonable as punishment for anyone, let alone a child.

Well he should have been permanently removed from that household, for one thing.

They only admitted when they got caught and couldn’t lie about it any longer. This was a PR move to save their asses when they got caught with cold hard documentation. They’ve been lying about this for years and at the expense of their own daughters. They deserve no credit whatsoever.

They protected their son and their political/television careers at the expense of their own daughters. There’s nothing ambivalent or grey-area about this mess.

Anger and frustration are absolutely appropriate reactions to this kind of news story, especially to someone who is trying to insist that age makes a difference in an argument that sounds an awful lot like “boys will be boys.” It’s okay to be angry about this, and yes a 14-year-old is absolutely old enough to…

Please stop defending/justifying child molesters.

It’s a religion that protects the privilege and entitlement of white men at all costs.

Witchcraft and religion are generally viewed as two separate things. You can have one without the other, or both. I’m religiously a pagan, *and* I practice witchcraft. Some people are pagans, etc without the witchery, though, and some practice the witchery without the religion.

People do still practice witchcraft—normal, run of the mill people. Often goes along with nature-based religions.

I agree with everything except that retail jobs don't depend on your ability to put up with harassment and abuse. Not saying it's a harder job—just that women who work retail have to put up with an awful lot of customer abuse and sexual harassment.

I have a cat like this. She used to be thin, but we lived in a smaller apartment for a couple years and she ended up getting REALLY lazy. I moved to Scotland for school and the cats are flying over at the end of this week (finally! it took me a few months to be able to afford the $3,000 price tag), and we have a…

I'm looking at Twitter right now, and #CrimingWhileWhite (or whatever the fuck it's called) is trending, and #AliveWhileBlack is not. HELLO, what more proof of Brown's point do we need than that? White voices talking about white experiences are deemed more important than Black voices on Black experiences in this…

HAHA, this is my *exact* mindset as well. I'm glad I'm not the only one. ^_^

I'm fairly thin, and strangers feel perfectly comfortable commenting on my weight and telling me I need to eat more. Friends and family do this, too. People I barely know feel comfortable telling me that I have an eating disorder and should seek help—and then telling me I'm in denial when I say that I don't. "Friends"…
