Okay. No one else spoke up, so I'll be the dissent. I'm Russian and have spent plenty of time in Russia. If you're hanging out in Moscow and St. Pete high streets, sure, you'll see this. And a lot of women who come to the U.S. from there (like my stepmother) have certain "ambitions of grandeur", wear ridiculous

I was born in St. Petersburg and I want to argue with this, but honestly, yeah. 100% batshit crazy here. For every stereotype I break (designer everything is tacky! no fake tan here!), there's another I fulfill (full makeup to go to the grocery store! real fancy interior design in my apartment!). My poor SO is a nice

Princeton mom would not be pleased.

My cousin and best friend, both of whom are personal trainers, have told me that if you are not in shape, you should work your way up to, not train to the point of getting sick and passing out. If you have trainers telling you that this is a healthy thing, you need to get new trainers.

I met my husband at a bar during my bachelorette party for my first marriage. (He was not a stripper, since people always ask that.) It was an awkward time in my life.

While its not everyone's style, it has beautiful clothes. I've been shopping there regularly since my 20s. Perfect for work and they have plus sizes:

We just need more people to stop caring and just wear what they love regardless. It would change everything. I'm in my early 30s and have only recently decided to not care about "flattering." Hence why I, a rotund lady, am wearing skinny jeans and a horizontal striped top today. Does this "flatter" my body (aka make

No more so than "My mommy says I'm special. Why is that not a federally protected class?"

I think it's pretty well known that Nice Guys never get the A.

The thing about basic human rights is that all humans get them.

I would rather spare the life of this monster of a woman and every other guilty person on Death Row than have one innocent life taken via the death penalty. The government should not be in the business of murdering its citizens, even the worst among them, especially if there is an alternative like life in prison which

I just can't, can't understand in this day and age all these seemingly normal and rational people who are for the death penalty.

Right? This is not at all how I thought the comment thread would go. I was anticipating some talk about why we're focusing on a woman's execution when the focus should be on execution itself. But no. It's basically a series of comments about how we shouldn't feel "bad" for her. What?

Considering how many articles on this site deal with human rights and civil liberties I'm surprised so many people come out to cheer for a sanctioned government killing.

"Tit for tat" seems like a lousy way for adult humans to run a legal system.

Fine; capital punishment is morally reprehensible no matter what you feel.

You're right, articles about PETA secretly are all about you, and a tool to incite hatred toward you, in particular. And not actually about PETA doing a shitty thing. Not at all. Because this is a blog that should be about vegans and vegetarians, instead of feminism and celebrities. How dare they not be about vegans?

Wow. We have no concept of what the natural range of TOTALLY NORMAL AND FINE is for tits, do we? Every last one of these women thought theirs were subpar.

I wish that the police wouldn't charge underage sex workers.

I think if we can say anything about royal families, it's that they have an aversion to change or modernization.
