I always assumed it was because us heathens were more likely to live with the person and be with them for longer before getting married. I know if I got married to the first person my 18 year old self thought I would be spending my life with I'd be one of the divorce statistics.

I read this as "hair whitening and teeth removal" and as SO confused.

Are you also creeped out by people going to Disney for their HONEYMOONS! (No, they're not taking kids with them.)

Am I the only one completely perplexed by this fucking Disney madness? They were stories we watched as children. Some of them SUPER fucked up. I loved it when I was a kid, I recognize it now, but I guess I don't see how romanticizing it….. is fun? There are grown adults that I know that are totally obsessed with the…

For clarity, the whole thing needed a giant frame around it, something to show that the original image is the "Before, and Just Fine Thank You Very Much" and the cartoon image is the "After Disney gets its sparkly crap all over it."

I don't think it sends a massive message, but I did think it was kind of funny and I get what he's saying about the princess machine. Also I liked some of the outfits. I was with him until Anne Frank.

He's halfway there. It's great to recognize these role models for who they were. But it's a disservice to "princessify" them and present them to the Facebook masses without clarifying the satire for the lowest common denominator who will likely "Share" the images a billion times.

Ugh, another lifeless Rocky movie.

If she really wanted to teach them how to be her version of "ladylike," she'd stick a small pillow under the waist cinchers of their dresses.

yeah, you guys suck too

Also Gillian Anderson recently dropped this wonderful bomb (during a Reddit AMA) about creepy, creepy Doug from her X-Files days:

Yeah, why is no one making more of a ruckus over this? It's no better than Julianne Hough's blackface or Ireland Baldwin's Indian headdress and facepaint.

I can't with the racism this year. When it is not blackface, it is people going as a chola.

True love has died tonight.

"Damn. A molar?!"

This is sad and disturbing. I tried running these searches myself (from San Francisco, not Dubai) and got similar results:

it's not about 'allowing' it. It's that these are the things people are interested in with regards to women and how that's a commentary on society. It's not about "this should be illegal" it's about "sexism is still a problem, here's an example."

Okay, my mind is a fertile ground of hyperactive imagination. By the time someone has said three words I'm already off on three different imaginary tangents. I read this story and wondered if this young woman miscarried and kept the fetus, because she couldn't bear to get rid of it. It was a part of her for awhile…

How about:

Well really, if her son is at a party, drinking, and there's women there, he's just *asking* to get rape-accused. Maybe he shouldn't put himself in that situation.
