For the first time today, I saw the (few years old) video where the guy asks pro-life demonstrators what they think the punishment should be for a women who gets an illegal abortion (if the protesters got their way and had abortion made illegal). Over and over, the protesters say, "I haven't really thought about the…

Is it too conspiracy theory to suggest that perhaps our government doesn't *really* want to significantly improve things for many people in Africa? I believe our country has a history of preferring/creating instability rather than stability in some places, if the status quo somehow benefits us and our policies. I'm…

Duh, cuz Obama's not Mittens. See: Healthcare act. It's only a good idea when it's Mitt's idea.

Because a daughter is an extension of themselves, a clear product of their own making (if their ladies are telling the truth, what?) whereas moms/sisters are not.

Promise me that when you are old and have forgotten how to drive, you will NOT move down to Florida and take up driving again, to the terror of the local population. It's what usually seems to happen.

Anyone else feel like the recoil is due to the (subconscious) "suck my dick" that's implied in the gesture? It's got insult and subjugation all in one ... package. (And if you're about to reply that fellatio is neither, save it, that's not my point and you know it.)

How about if actual abortion-referring doctors/clinics start advertising in VERY similar looking ads? Down to the lone girl staring into the distance and the vague question, "Pregnant?" Aside from increasing the odds that people will actually find what they're looking for, perhaps the CPC's would start doing something…

LiLo ... Carl Hiassen got there years before you with Star Island. Get a clue.

Ever since I learned about the basic psychology of makeup, (not, you know, the complicated stuff that skilled drag queens do to 'beat' their faces) before I drag out the makeup bag, I think, do I want to present myself as a sex object for this event? Usually, the answer is no. Though I admit, there have been a few…

Well, on the flip side, there are always those guys who say, "I like sleeping with men, but I'm not gay." Perception, perception, perception.

That's because all that addition of color is to mimic the effects of sexual arousal. We're supposed to paint up and look like turned-on sex dolls. You know how they say that the "professional" makeup look is toned down? Well, yes, because in the old times, only whores wore obvious makeup, to advertise and attract. So…

Whoa, whoa, whoa ... You know that the K's all have stylists and makeup artists for every shot, right? They are not in the same category as "all those women out there" unless you mean "all those women who are never captured in an image unless they've sat in a hair and makeup chair." Of course, my initial reaction to…

Maybe it's just the fundamental/extremely fringe groups, then. I'm thinking images of the Warren Jeff's womenfolk, for instance. Which yes, I know, is not the mainstream Mormon brand.

Wow. Just when I think I fully understand the depth of what women in the U.S.A. have overcome, some stupid shit like this is brought to my attention. Talk about taking stuff for granted. I never even thought for a second that old photos showing only male runners implied, not that maybe the ladies were running…

I live in a pretty backwoodsy sort of area, and so when a cousin (by marriage) told me they had bought a small dog for their son, in hopes that it would take away his asthma, I just nodded and made some noncommittal noises. Apparently it's a very common belief in this area. So, yay, superstition! Also, I have no idea…

Perhaps, and no snark intended, just an honest suggestion, because it seems like a big thing for a lot of Mormon women to have long, long, hair? And for many other Christian flavors, too. So targeting their hair for a punishment might be a particularly religiously-motivated shaming.

I wish there was a way for me to recommend to every poster on this story to go read Terry Pratchett's "Monstrous Regiment" to possibly understand the logic behind dealing with sexist people "ninja style." The book has nothing to do with ninjas, btw, sorry. But to try and probably inadequately sum it up: if the odds…

Yeah, I kinda thought I was gonna read about a race where the cheetah jumped the lane and ate the greyhound. Not that I like that idea, but that was my assumption.

It does have side effects. Sometimes I randomly break into song, make bad puns, and feel strangely attracted to felt.

I was going to guess Muppet hair follicle. (What? What do you guys eat for breakfast??)
