I hate live performances as a rule. I am just not a live music fan.

But I have seen Peaches live and she was incredible. I'm not the biggest fan of her music but she worked that crowd beautifully. Maybe she has "on" nights and "off."

You know those female scientists y'all keep saying can't seem to find jobs with equal pay?

I hate to up the guy's visitor count, but this t-shirt almost looks like the opening text for Spaceballs by Mel Brooks:

Dude, you can see in other discussions that I'm critical of a lot of the posts on this site, but I think the issue here is bigger. The kid (a college junior) was seeking this publicity. He really walked right into this one, with a sign held over his head. People participating in a public protest really can't object if…

If it means anything to Lindy West after I've criticized her recent posts harshly, whoever posted this is an asshole and I hope it doesn't ruin her day. Even if this is just trolling, it's a good example of the kind of sexism and bullying that no one should be subjected to.

If feminism doesn't have to own its crazies, then conservatives don't have to own theirs, Christians don't have to own theirs, Marxists and capitalists don't have to own theirs, and so on. The fact is there are some crazy, mean ass feminists out there. Denying their existence or calling them figments of the opposition…

Hilarious. I was talking to another poster on here a few weeks ago about how varied Southern accents are. For a long time I thought all the Southern accents you hear in TV and movies were fake. It wasn't until I was in my 20s and started traveling that I met anyone from Alabama or Georgia. That was a shock. My mother…

Steve Carell is hot as hell (but I'm a guy, so there's that).

I agree that people discriminate about intelligence based on accent (I am deep Southern and have gotten "But you sound intelligent" a few times when I travel). My accent came from watching television, so no such luck.

One of my co-workers was once trashed on a presentation review form by some New Yorkers because she…

The dude is asking about the process of touching a woman's body in a respectful way. Where oh where might he have gotten the impression that under no circumstances was a man to touch (or think of touching) a woman in a way she didn't approve of? He's awkward. So fucking what. If he didn't ask, he'd just go on…

Sort of Catherine Zeta Jone's voice (at least in Chicago)? Or more like Kathleen Turner? I adore both.

Where this leads into real trouble is when we veer into too ethnic or too regional and the voice coaching that goes into modifying these "flaws."

I guess I'm "entitled" to be mad at this guy, but I'm not. We won in the end. The point of all this is supposed to be converting people over to the cause by changing minds, not destroying them or seeking revenge. And, anyway, I have a feeling that whatever punishment I could unleash on him would be insignificant…

You actually make a decent point. It is true that these girls do look very similar (in part due to the way the photo is lit, with very little shadow and blown out highlights).

However the larger point may be that even if someone thinks it's true they look alike, whether admitting it is offensive. I would generally…

None of them look much like the current Miss Korea. She has also had surgery (at least according to this article). http://www.koreabang.com/2012/pictures/…

While the girls all look similar in staged photographs, part of that is due to the lighting. The highlights are blown out. This is the same trick that makes Madonna…

There are explicit examples of her behavior in the source article. In fact, the article specifically notes that she is the first female editor of the paper and then explicitly compares her to other editors. She is directly compared to a male counterpart who was similarly criticized. It's a waste of time to quote these…

I think this is more a display of fetishized bisexuality than lesbianism. A lot of the bisexual girls I know think this movie is hot. The movie has a "male eye" as they call it but Matt Dillon isn't sore on the eyes and in terms of wish fulfillment there's something to be had here. One girl friend of mine was upset…

Since 1792 (source: Online Etymology Dictionary) the word "immigrant" has been used to describe a person moving to a country. If it is done illegally rather than legally the logical term is indeed "illegal immigrant."

Illegal immigration is not a uniquely US phenomenon. A person residing in North Korea illegally is…

The entire point of protesting is to win converts, not just make a scene. I don't want to be associated with these people.

I like the flower crowns.
