It's all super complicated and I don't even think it's so much about pay than it is about roles available to women. There was a study of the top grossing movies of 2013: only 15% of protagonists, 29% of major characters and 30% of speaking characters were female. There just aren't as many roles for women out there.…

Well, I for one applaud the NFL for finally taking a clear, aggressive, no-nonsense stand against bad PR. It is clear that the league will no longer tolerate actions by players that cause sponsors to threaten cutting business ties. Children, wives, and girlfriends of NFL players can exhale and rest easy tonight,…

I would recommend suing Hannibal Buress for his 'slanderous' remarks. How dare he get away with sullying your good name, Mr Cosby. I mean, they were slanderous? Right?

Didn't they already make a Christian S&M movie called The Passion of the Christ?

Is it me or does that child look just plain exhausted?

Also, the suprise proposal thing is cute and done right when its between a couple that pretty much both knows they're getting married and are into that sort of thing. Otherwise, it seems like its a way to embarass the other into saying 'yes.' Guy or girl. Both ways.

NYC has a policy that adults aren't allowed in playgrounds unless they are accompanying someone under the age of 14 for the same reason. I get it, but it does seem a bit like overkill. Like cutting through a playground because you are late to work could potentially get you a ticket.

I'm with Richards on this one. It seems unlikely that kids with their families would get abducted at a park, and even more likely that requiring an appointment beforehand would weed out any pedophiles who do get it. (Unless staff are wih them the whole time. Are they?) Stigmatizing people who like to do "kid stuff"…

I don't want women to feel pressured to be nice all the time, however I have never liked the implication that people who are not nice are somehow inherently more "real" or "truthful" than others. Sometimes the not-nice things someone says aren't truths, they're just opinions, the opinions of someone who has a bleak…

So, I talk a lot to people who are in the "new polyamory," or whatever - you know, the Captain Awkward, Dan Savage approved bourgeois American version. They pretty often express the wish that their various combinations be certified as legal somehow, and I see their perspective.

Dr. H. H. Holmes also advertised rooms for rent to single young women.

I'm now going to consider my messiness as one more way I fight for feminism.

I agree. The parts that are gaining the most attention are the least troubling to me. The 7 yo exploring the baby's vagina is probably the most "normal" part of the whole thing. I have no doubt its common behavior. It's all the other stuff that I'd like to hear some experts on child development talk about.

Why are we acting like this is only about her touching her 1 year old sister's vagina when she was 7 and not also about emotionally coercing her sister into sleeping in her bed and then masturbating while she sleeps? And about paying her sister in candy to give her long kisses on the lips? And about paying her sister…

she seems like a fair hybrid of both tbh

"Ariana Grande screams whenever she is thirsty."

So like a parakeet or a newborn?

The use of "female" is so freaking weird. He talked about "female academics" like he is studying the hunting habits of some unusually aggressive marsupials.

Interesting that your shitty grad program never taught you that this belief has been endorsed by the Catholic Church since 1950. Might want to get your money back.

Hang on, hang on. My impression was that that Vatican had acknowledged evolution AGES ago. Catholicism does not equal creationism, and tends to go the 'intelligent design' route. How is this all new?

Hahaha dude you are like, just ticking off every item on the list of bad faith sexist argument bullshit. I have no obligation to you. I am not subservient to you. I am not obligated to pretend I don't think you're disgusting. I am not obligated to change my "tone" to one that doesn't make your widdle bottom wip…
