My first thought on seeing that picture was "Ohhhh, please let Philip's handlers steer him discreetly away before he says something outrageously classist/horrible."

I'm Pakistani, I know a fair bit about Benazir Bhutto, Bhatti, and the rest. I also know that a great deal of their opposition came from within the government and military, often their own political parties.
Saw this article headline on Slate yesterday and though to myself, "Self. That article title is idiotic, sexist, and bullshit. Don't bother reading it. Just wait to see which Jezebel author's head explodes by 5pm tomorrow."
I wasn't disappointed. Well done.
I can't wait until this stripper trend passes. It really grosses me out.
Yeah, nothing sexier than a couple of 400lb primates making sweet, rutting love. It's the hair that does it for me. And the big knuckles. The big hairy, sexy knuckles.
I mean...no. I see what you're saying, and I think it's well intentioned, but at a weight where a certified professional trainer and exercise scientist told me that they weren't sure I could lose 10 more pounds and still be healthy...I didn't look anything close to that. I was super duper fit, with the resting heart…
Very immature. Those kids need a level-headed mother. She's behaving like an ass. How would she liked it if I went to her and showed her my three graduate degrees which I got before turning 30 and said: What's your excuse? Or if I showed the publications in academic journals and the conferences I have presented in and…
Serious question that might not have an answer: What can I, or one, do about this, either this case specifically or just this kind of thing? I'm increasingly horrified and angry over it, but I know that rage or horror in a vacuum is useless and I'm starting to feel like I'm remiss in not actually doing something. The…
We just need to keep encouraging them. Girl had her house burned down for goodness sake! I want to give her a hug and just tell her to be strong!!
I hope Daisy and her family gain strength from the outpouring of support that millions of people are showing for them right now.
Just wanna also say kudos to the Kansas City Star for their continued coverage of this. They are also the ones who have been riding the MO Children's Division for the corruption and negligence that has led to disgustingly brutal (and preventable) deaths of children up there.
Oh man, Daisy is fucking smart, and PISSED. You death glare that camera, girl, you're gonna need it. And Melinda, rock on with your kick-ass digital-recording self. These two are impressive folks.
I'm so glad this is becoming a "thing" talking about rape, ending victim blaming, removing the shame from the victims and shaming attackers. Woohoo internet activism. Daisy is so brave, I am eternally grateful to her for speaking out but sad that she even has to, she is literally saving lives with her bravery.
Daisy is fucking brave. Good for her.
Something about an overprivileged 20 year old trying to look 'gangsta' just annoys the fuck out of me.
Great thighs. They are a thing of beauty and she works hard at them! Why slim them down?!
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Paul Rudd?
Because it is still an important social commentary on the way stars are portrayed. These are the women that our children look up to and it's a false image that perpetuates our unobtainable culture of perfection. Until we start demanding the authentic thing, we're going to be continually fed crap. Why can't Britney…
""Rice has said of the boys, “They were doing what they wanted to do, and there weren’t any consequences. And it’s reprehensible. But is it criminal? No.”"
