I would laugh in a man's face if he seriously asked me if I had email.

An therein lies the stupidity.

Why can't we just call vegan leather what it actually is? It's vinyl/"pleather."

This is why we need feminism. For exactly this reason.

This caption is why I love the title of DB and Amal, because who is Clooney really? What has he done for society except be hot and give us silly movies like "Oceans 11"?

SPOILERS.

"Kat Dennings and Josh Groban are a couple."

You shut your mouth with that right now. Don't you dare compare a goddess to a Goopy.

it's pronounced "bouquet"!!

It's not the joke that annoys me. It's that he assumes that she hasn't heard that sort of thing a thousand times before.

Do a lot of bartenders feel that way? I don't like beer, I always have wine at home, so I usually order fancy cocktails when I go out. I mean, I'm paying for them, I pay a premium for them, should I feel guilty about ordering them? I always tip well.

While I get the spirit of OP's post, I think your point is an important distinction too.

Fair meta point and fair as food for thought. But, I think it's tough to argue that you forfeit being able to credibly decry the history of racism in this country because you happen to own a pair of Nikes.

How would you prefer she word it? She's not denying that she (like every other human being on the planet) has a point of view, she's saying her methodology in exploring the issue has been subjected to academic scrutiny. It's really the best guarantee of non-bias we can get.
