Right? Maybe it's because I'm very southern? Like who doesn't bake their Mac and cheese?

I would make a more intelligent comment, but I'm stuck on the idea that baked macaroni and cheese is a "black" thing.

I'm a black guy dating a Korean girl in DC. We should share stories! Oooooh the stories.

I've had three older Asian women, on completely separate occasions, tell me that I'm not good enough for my girlfriend and she should be dating a "successful Asian man". In DC.

I've had to deal with my own family lamenting over…

Absolutely. In the end, she didn't break a law that really hurt anyone but herself, sadly. And I'm not disputing that — but I am saying, as the person above you pointed out, that feminism or defending this girl isn't about applauding her act — it's about demanding equal treatment for both parties. In the end, both…

Is anyone else having a "there but for the grace of god go I?" moment? I mean, I never did anything that went nearly this far, but anecdote time:

I had a guy do this to one of my boobs at a concert years ago. He was reaching from like two rows of bodies back. I quickly grabbed his hand and dug my fingernails into it as long as I could hang on until he finally manged to yank it away. I always look back at that glad that I had the instinct to fight back in…

New Idea! How about Jezebel fund me to go to Poland, dress up in a ski mask, and squeeze this guy's nuts as hard as I can? You know, for testicular health and whatever.

It's Poland, not Mars.

What is sad to me is the number of women, young, middle aged and old, who say. "I don't like working for women."

Well, 16 is the age of consent in 30 US states. By affair, I mean consensual sexual relationship, but I agree, given that she is a teenager in CA, it is statutory rape. A 16 year old isn't a child, but the real issue, for me, is the power imbalance in the relationship, she was a child when she met him and he was a…

So even if she did have an affair with him, how does that not make her a victim? He was a close friend of her parents, that makes him a predator who took advantage of a young girl's infatuation. She may very well have had a crush on him but I have a really hard time believing she'd be a willing participant in the…

Honestly, most people don't read, and some people have no capacity to understand subtext. The fact that the book is written from Humbert's POV destroys most people's ability to comprehend that the point of the book is that Humbert is someone we cannot and should not identify with. The scene where he finally…

Next to 1984.

I am so sick of that term. "Lolita" was about a young girl who was stalked, coerced, and sexually abused by an adult man who was willing to trick her mother into a loveless marriage to get closer to his prey. He creates a "relationship" with her that leads her to another sexual abuser and into a child pornography…

Seriously. Talk about a bunch of No Fun Nancys and Debbie Downers. They must have the best time stoically sipping decaf tea in their pressed khakis, legs crossed at the ankles, trying to one-up each other on which one of them has become more engrossed in living their lives vicariously through their children.

Square-Enix gave some random fan production music rights?

Yeah they need to protect their IP from fan-based pandering, then Square-Enix can go back to making nothing but meaningful, high quality content based on its IPs, like Final Fantasy: ATB.

*looks at the number of laws pushed through to ban gays from doing X vs the number of laws pushed through to allow gays to do X*

I'm fairly certain that there is only one amendment to the constitution and it reads "Christianity is totes awesome. Suck it Muslims."

This! My husband's insipid Republican aunt had the audacity to question me about the "cultishness" of Unitarianism when I told her that was where I went to church before. Her poor little brain seemed ready to explode when I rattled off all the founding fathers who were Unitarians.
