Ironically, I just had this exact discussion in a literature class (we were discussing children's books and I brought up the point of how we're creating too much of an insular world that doesn't reflect reality and how this extends into how we talk to kids about their bodies) and someone retorted, when I urged the use…

I think it's partially cultural, particularly for women and how the media decides you'd be better off dead the day you first have the appearance of crow's feet around the eyes. But I think it's partially biological, too (i.e. young women are more likely to pass on our genes if we make babies with them).

But, also, I…

I think, when it comes to individual relationships, they should be judged on their own merits as opposed to some overarching idea of what is 'right' or 'wrong' between consenting adults.

It's perfectly alright if you don't find younger men attractive. I do happen to, visually at least, find younger women attractive.…

I don't see how being attracted to a fully-grown adult woman is creepy. Dating one, maybe. But simply finding them attractive isn't creepy at all.

Presuming I was presented with an image of a beautiful woman at 20 or a beautiful woman at 40, chances are I'm going to be more attracted to the 20 year old. That's just my visceral reaction to visual stimuli.

But physical attractiveness isn't the only vital variable in human interactions. I would likely be less…

Honestly, her experience and career is so limited to such a small percentage of people I can't imagine what she has to say that is really going to matter

Could you do the skeptic community a favor and not lump atheism in with the other objectionable things you mention about Gervais? It's not evangelical to simply mock the obvious absurdity of most religious beliefs.

I see your point about Gervais' tweet, but I also can't see how it's victim blaming to simply point out that, in the digital age, putting nudes of yourself on a computer and thinking they're secure is an almost foolish level of naive carelessness.

Music in 2014: The biggest star in the industry is someone that barely writes any of her own songs.

Don't get me wrong, strictly as a performer, she's incredibly talented. But I thought being in music was primarily about musicianship, not strictly a penchant for theatrics.

I've seen a lot more single toilet "family" bathrooms in conjunction with the traditional male/female ones. Having those in most places seems to eliminate the need for this debate entirely while also providing a place where people all of gender identities feel most comfortable.

"Cultural appropriation" is such a bullshit, made-up concept. People can behave however the fuck they want.

She's kind of terrible, right? I know Jezebel has to rally behind her because she's a highly visible woman in the entertainment industry, but she's kind of a hack, right? We can just be up front about it?

The problem with monogamy isn't that it is a standard of behavior for individual relationships, the problem is that it has the full weight of cultural expectation and is wrapped up in how we interpret love. I very much think there are people that can fit into the 'traditional' paradigm of monogamy as we have…

That's the thing, a mass of individual women not giving a fuck, and thusly no longer consuming or purchasing media/beauty products/plastic/surgery that reinforces a standard they find untenable to health or well-being will cause the market and culture to shift. It starts with individual women, by consenting, 'opting…

What in the goddamn dog shit is she talking about?

"You are SUCH a man. And so OBVIOUSLY a young one. You have a fucking long way to go in life. And !!definitely!! not pro-feminist. Why exactly are you here?"

Nope. I'm 30, a father, a husband, and a homeowner. By all standards of the modern world, I am 'fully adult'. I am very much pro-feminism, even radically so, I…

Let us never forget what the churches and religious leaders dix

Plus I am 46 years old. There is no changing the passing of the years and the changing of the body from old to young.

That's because you were fat once. She wasn't.

But it does make a difference.
