Ok that broke my heart in a thousand pieces. She shouldnt have to feel that way, she just shouldn't.

Aww a nice story for a change! Fair play to her , it's really impressive she put herself forward to run, that was brave and its wonderful she won!

Are you basing that opinion all on the phrase in the headline "at all" because fine I'll give you that, it would not take into account the handful of women who are the exception. Though I feel thats a little finicky tbh because I may be wrong but I genuinely didnt get that from the body of the article, and to say…

Eh its a pretty common and accepted fact that media in general and hollywood in particular, has a problem with the way treats/portrays older women. If you are unaware of this and need more proof then watch a few hours of tv/movies , maybe read what people working the industry have written about this. Im sure you'll…

To be honest I initially misread it and thought the 11 was more the just the one university so it seems a bit better. Thanks for the stats, occasionally I'll have a vague idea but I don't really know much about how demographics breakdown in the US. I would have thought Alabama to be very diverse and that minorities…

I swear seeing people like Helen Mirren saves me from insanity sometimes, as much as you can know the pressure to be young and a certain kind of hot is bullshit, it doesnt stop ya feeling the pressure and seeing those kickass ladies still be so awesome, talented, smart and beautiful, long long after society says we…

Just let me know if that film, with Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton and Holly Hunter as aging badasses, ever gets made. I'd watch the hell of that!

Well done those girls that got in and fair play for putting themselves forward, hope things go smoothly for them but 11 isnt a great number though. My opinion on the whole sorority/frat thing declines everytime I hear about it. At first it just seemed a bit elitist, then a dangerous breeding ground for rape culture,…

Wanted to say thanks to everyone, this has been an interesting discussion even with the differing opinions, maybe because of it. Some stuff I don't agree with but its an important discussion to be had and there has been lots of insightful/thought provoking comments. In an apathetic world its important to stand up for…

I guess Victory Lukewarm Can of Cheap Cider doesnt have the quite same ring to it but that seemed to inspired a lot of people to do incredible things in my college days.

Blasphemy!! Its ok I can love him more then enough for the both of us, do you like shia lebeouf or someone that annoys me, we could balance each other out :)

I don't really like banning stuff but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over this. I'm not completely comfortable with whole lovely girls competition thing even when its highly accomplished adults but I always find it a bit creepy when its children. At least when kids are dressing up and playing princess at home with…

Wow I was prepared for potential offensiveness/stereotypes but not for how bad the comedy itself would be, utter shite and I cant imagine how bad it is when Im not baked. Its not even "edgy" offensive, just that tired old nonsense blah. Please dont let this get popular enough to be syndicated. I don't mind too much…

Its so sad that this has to happen.I know these things happen in an abstract way but reading these stories drives it home a bit more then stats, how many people are forced into this situation right now, whose stories I'll never hear, it breaks my heart.

Nothing like reading an article about how Jen Garner is fighting for her kids privacy only to see the article includes pictures of her kids, ffs. I wouldn't have clicked on it had I known, and have added to the problem by reading that article so now I suck too. Personally I really dont need to see Jennifer garner…

Haha good one, yeah constantly thinking about twixs and eating ideas, can never figure out why I'm still peckish! :) Seriously tho Im gonna have to borrow that dude, its a piece of satirical genius, the orwell ref is a beautiful touch!Maybe throw in a footloose line next time cos its all the more funny considering…

Oh god is that true? I thought all those weird laws were invalidated by modern legislation? Thats so messed up.

Seth McFarlane is to satire what Paris Hilton is to talent, (and I say that as a McFarlene fan,) its lazy lazy lazy comedy and long lost any subversive elements. Im spoiled I grew up with British comedy so I know irony ,satire and social commentary when I see it, (and I say that as an Irish person) and calling shit…

God, nearly as bad as my college banning unethical companies, how dare they censor my nestle bars and insist only fair trade products where things are made using ethical sustainable practices and the people get a fair price for their work, who do they think they are censoring poor nestle! Its years since I left…
