It's that it tacks on an extra charge specifically for women only, for services that might actually be medically necessary, and that a woman would have to purchase it even as a precaution just in case something were to go wrong in her pregnancy. It isn't just about rape victims or choice, it's about passing a law…

Thank you. Here's a link to their site. Getting out my checkbook.

Prison is not hotel. Prison is deprivation of liberty. That's the punishment; more to the point it keeps dangerous people away from the rest of us. The civilized part comes in where we treat incarcerated criminals reasonably while protecting ourselves from them.

The punishment does not include "and by the way, we can…

I've really been impressed with him. He holds back in the right way in that role. And he perfectly embodies, both onscreen and off so far, a new, more humane masculinity that young girls can and should admire.

"It's a common argument when cases like these come up: the notion that people who are accused of crimes deserve whatever happens next, up to and including death"

Takeaway: WHITE.

• Polly Prostitute

I agree.

Unless you want to have sex with a gay man asking him if he is a top or a bottom or speculating either way is pretty fucking offensive.

The author might not have done her research, but you're clearly not familiar with the Smurfette principle – in which there is only ONE female in an ensemble of male characters, who while being badass and knowing how to handle a gun and being smarter than the men, is still required to be sexy and a love interest for…

Maybe so, but I believe the point was that in the stores they went to, that ended up being the only option, and she was frustrated that she wasn't able to find anything else. Just my take.

Jesus Christ, this is a shitshow of an article. And it could've been done so well, too.

I call her Polly Prostitute, partly due to her fashion choices which includes boots, heels, and minis that barely cover her ass.

It's not about Leia's role in the movie, it's about the way she's depicted as a Lego toy, which is not at all empowering.

aaaaaaaand there it is, you have Godwin's Law-ed yourself in your own article. I'm not saying there is no way to relate these topics, but this is shoddy, bad writing. Its not even writing; all you've done is to shoehorn two images in at the end as if TA-DA! I've proved dolls = racism because book! See! See! .... This…

"I call her Polly Prostitute, partly due to her fashion choices which includes boots, heels, and minis that barely cover her ass. Before you get mad at me for "slut-shaming," this is a doll marketed to little girls. Why do kids, ages 4 – 7 (the group Polly is supposedly for) need to be choosing belly-baring outfits…

I think the problem she's expressing here is that Leia in a golden bikini, chained to Jabba, was the ONLY option. Leia is the lone female character in Star Wars minus a few ancillary characters like the female commander who was in that one scene that one time. For a young girl who wants to identify with a character…

That fact that your mom married outside her culture (or race) doesn't make her behavior any more problematic. In fact, you'd think that she would have developed some level of empathy for the othering that non-white people encounter but in fact she continues to operate in her white privilege bubble.

"She just wants people to like her, and already has self esteem issues, thinks shes not good enough for my friends, so it seems not worth mentioning."

Because it comes from a good place does not mean people have to learn to deal with her less constructive ways of finding out about others that she has less in common with. Wouldn't it be a better solution instead of prepping your friends, you should find ways and prep your mother to stop this mess. Don't give me it is…
