There's been discussions about how (hetero)sexual activity in which the woman is the 'performer' is seen as bad and that's why the term 'cock sucker' is thrown around as a negative the same way men are called pussy/bitch/cunt to imply weakness (as in 'like a woman'). Its funny how BJs are seen as this amazing, highly…

I think the main difference that we can see here (as far as I've read) is that no one is calling the guy a 'slut' or any other demeaning term. A while back there was an image (or images?) of a girl giving a guy (maybe several guys - can't remember exact details) oral in public and a lot of the criticism was aimed at…

Why?

Middle Eastern woman here (and proud feminist to boot). While my cultural background does not practice FGM, it does place value on a woman's virginity above all else. Sorry, but this cultural-relativism-no-matter-the-cost-to-victims is bullshit. What I hear from cultural relativists isn't 'open-mindedness' and…

It reminds me of people who don't use birth control for religious reasons, but will practice NFP. Dude, you are still having sex with the intention to avoid pregnancy.

'Had that not been the primary issue of his talk, that line about Mohammad would not have been the first sentence of his admonishment.'

I don't know what you're talking about and I don't care to get into all the ludicrous conspiracy theories floating around. And I have no clue what 'bathhouse' is euphemism for either. I'm referring specifically to that sentence you quoted. You (and all the bloggers going on about this specific sentence) deliberately…

According to whitehouse.gov, he actually said this:

I'd argue that you benefit from secular laws and not necessarily Christian values as there are many interpretations of what those values are and they are not legally binding anyway.

You tell that story as though its meant to be impressive but all I'm seeing are shocking actions here: 1. that a supposedly loving, just God would ask something so horrible of someone to prove their devotion, and 2. that someone would actually attempt to kill their child in the name of God and this is somehow seen as…

No it is not an 'equally valid' notion. Discrimination based on gender is not equally valid to gender equality. Is apartheid an 'equally valid notion' to racial equality?

I don't know about the doing drag bit, but is it possible that the bit in which Cosby calls out Tracy for making black people look bad is a dig at Cosby's respectability politics?

Um, no one called her a sex object. The meaning of objectify is 'degrade to the status of mere object'. The writer was calling out the attitude of the man committing the assault as well as the attitude of those who excuse his behavior and blame women for being assaulted.

He's relating it to the fact that people remain silent. That's the key issue here. Things don't have to be exactly the same in order to find commonality in them. For example, you can find similarities between homophobia and the way in which (heterosexual) women's sexuality has been historically policed, even though…

If you change the word 'Christian' to 'person who believes that Jesus is the son of God', you are still describing the same thing by using a different word/s. Same thing with what you want Terry Crews to do.

Calling out intolerance is not hypocritical. Is Jezebel supposed to support the KKK to live up to your standard of consistency?

Really? So if everyone is allowed to practice their religion as you say, then why did the Duggars support someone running for president on a campaign that sought to force fundamentalist Christianity on everyone?

You mean the same Republicans that have no problem murdering babies in war and letting children die rather than provide their families with healthcare?

I would argue that shows representing hedonism are not displaying people that demand that the rest of society has to live their lifestyle. Liberals are not forcing conservatives to marry a person the same sex as them or to have abortions, use birth control, have pre-marital sex.

I'm only going to address two things you said. the first:
