While it’s encouraging that the media is exploring the connection between toxic masculinity/entitlement complexes and mass shootings, I’m not confident that the media will do so in a way that makes sure not to blame women for horrific acts they had nothing to do with.

Oh man. I’m embarrassed as a lawyer, an American, a human...but I’ll focus on the lawyer bit. This guy is a disgrace to the profession. People like him shouldn’t be admitted to law school, not to mention any Bar Association. The ability to get a good GPA and decent LSAT score doesn’t equal fitness for practice,…

Also, if he renounced his law license in 2013 and represented a white supremacist in 2014, isn’t he practicing law without a license?

Relevant: 6 of the 9 Justices are Catholic. Catholicism is one of the most tried-and-truthinessy justifications for restricting reproductive rights. It would be ever so awesome if, Cool Pope notwithstanding, we as a society tried to limit the Church’s relevance to the interiors of its own parishes. The Pope’s…

I don’t buy this argument. DOMA would have become law without Bill Clinton’s signature; it had enough votes. But he signed it and both he and Hillary supported it because, well, I guess the gay community needed that extra slap in the face just as the AIDS crisis and homophobic fever pitch was reaching its crescendo.…

Donald Trump's the kind of guy who thinks that getting rich(er) is a public service because "it's a victory for all the guys who are as nice and awesome as me!"

Donald Trump Appearance:

Obligatory:

You better watch out.

You’re a few years late to this party. If only there were more people like you, the Bachmann Administration would be well underway and the nation would be bracing itself for her inevitable re-election (along with Vice President Palin). But these critical thinkers and their damn frontal cortexes mean we’ll never get…

Do you have to be Hillary’s “friend” in order to participate in the chat?

Like so many ‘80s babies, “The Hills” was a show I hate-watched until I liked it (well, more like watched, wondered what the fuck I just saw, tried another episode to see if I could figure out what the fuck I just saw, then started having irrational concerns about Lauren Conrad’s professional and emotional wellbeing).…

I openly identify as a liberal feminist. I’ve never been diagnosed with a mental illness but think I was depressed during my sophomore year of college and in grad school. I’m not queer but I’m staunchly pro-equality. I tell this to everyone and anyone when it’s relevant in a conversation. As a result, the only…

Private sector lawyer here. Since it’s only been a day, I think it’s too early to tell whether this woman has it in for you. I’ve had a couple of bosses who seemed to hate me in particular and went out of their ways to make my life miserable, started feeling guilty (I guess?) about it a month or so afterwards, and…

I’ve seen a few interviews with Frances Bean Cobain and she seems remarkably smart, witty and well-adjusted. Courtney Love won’t win any parenting awards, but I always got the impression that she’s been an unconditionally loving mother. Pretty much all the goth kids I knew back in the ‘90s grew up to be kickass…

I say bravo, Enquirer. ‘Cause this is what it’s setting up:

You are an easy, easy grader. Cruz is proof positive that F-minuses should be a thing.

Pretty sure that listening to Diplo will ward off your whole species, assuming you're some kind of mammal.

I’m not exactly embroiled in the Hollywood scene, but bear in mind that “An insider close to Lachey says that...” usually translates to “Some guy who bussed Lachey’s table one night at Melisse and stalked him for a few months after Lachey threw his unsolicited screenplay in the restaurant’s trashcan sends me dozens of…

According to Anderson’s own Wikipedia page, “He announced on December 14, 2012, that he will not be running for U.S. Representative in 2014, or for U.S. President again in 2016.” There’s nothing else on there that indicates that he’s changed his mind (and you don’t want to support a candidate whose own Wikipedia page…
