I don't think one has to be a men's rights activist to see the huge problem with separating this issue along gender lines and creating a preferential class just because of one's plumbing. I'm so glad that you pointed out the real argument here, that non-violent offenses simply don't warrant removing someone from our

"That argument, while it's sure to drive men's rights activists and fans of the penal system into a crimson-faced rage..."

It also might not sit well with all people who aren't completely prejudice.

...while it's sure to drive men's rights activists and fans of the penal system into a crimson-faced rage...

Women are like children. They cannot be held accountable for their actions. They are delicate and should be protected and kept out of prison. They cannot even tell the difference between right and wrong anyway.

What is important to acknowledge, and I did so, is that honestly, they've been totally on top of BTQ rights for a while now. I don't know their record on asexuality or intersex, but they've always strongly supported transgender individuals. I will say that I'd rather an organisation that walks the walk without an

Yeah, I can see how that could be the case. I mean, taken more generally, anyone could claim themselves as a sexual minority, since we all are, in one way or another.

I'm just really not a fan of the LGBT/QUILTBAG acronyms, as it's always either leaving people out or getting absurdly unwieldy. Add to that the fact

I will certainly grant that anyone who sees either Book or Movie Amy as an expression of "what's wrong with women" is a misogynist. I mean, seeing her as an expression of "what's wrong with psychopaths," and even (especially?) "what's wrong with smart, well-educated psychopaths," I get. But does anyone really

That makes her no less captivating, but it does make the film feel a lot more misogynistic than the novel.

Can you explain why Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is still alive but Mike Brown isn't?

Like a lot of people who read Gawker, I avoid Jezebel like the plague. I only come here when the link doesn't immediately tell me where I'm going.

my roomate's mother makes $76 /hr on the laptop . She has been without a job for 5 months but last month her paycheck was $15165 just working on the laptop for a few hours. see post..........>>> WWW.JOBSAA.COM

Okay. So you walked away from these videos "not really knowing anything more about ALS other than that it exists."

I like to think that The Secret History is languishing because they can't find actors insufferable enough to play the young people in the story. But that's just me. I would have trouble not being sarcastic through the whole movie. The Goldfinch, on the otherhand - I'd be tempted to go to that film just to see who

It seems to me like people are never really gonna stop having rape fantasies, so having dubcon in widely unrealistic fanfiction seems like the perfect place to deal with that. In fact, most of your criticism seems to be, why can't people only have the fantasies that represent the sex we want them to have in real life?

So, fans of this (who are mostly women and gay men) are trying to work through the problem of homosexual couples not being able to conceive children on their own. Meanwhile, sexual power dynamics are no longer male-on-female, but rather male-on-male... I don't really see any reason to make fun of this, other than

No. No, its not about child sex trafficking.

Like... they exist to keep Romney in power more than to protect little black girls.

Before everyone goes cheering this, let me point out: the way "pimping" is defined currently makes almost everyone in a sex worker's life a pimp, including romantic partners, roommates, bodyguards, etc. The way "trafficking" is defined includes almost everyone in the sex trade. This is not necessarily making people

oh good thing doestic violence is ok as long as it is on someone larger than you!

I can't stop cracking up over how adorably embarrassed he is by having to say "vagina".
