“Hey ladies, do you hate bodily autonomy even more than you hate Muslims? Then become a Hannity GOP tart and meet men who don’t care if you orgasm!”

Not that I’m overly superficial or anything but those dudes’ haircuts should violate the Geneva convention.

The scientists moreover interpret the lack of diversity in science as a failure of the discipline — not the student: “We embrace the assumption that minority students are brilliant and ask, ‘Why does physics education routinely fail brilliant minority students?’”

I imagine it’s even simpler than that - in his mind, it doesn’t matter what the victims wanted. As far as he’s concerned, he’s a cop and they were black women, and therefore he was entitled to do anything he wanted to do with them. By his definition, he can’t be a rapist because these sexual “encounters” simply cannot…

It’s an indictment of our society that the media didn’t think this was worth covering. Imagine if this was about dozens of white women? All lives clearly don’t matter.

I was ready to grump about the justice system in my state, because part of me thought he’d walk because he targeted women who would be hard to believe...

Awww, is the poor little rapist saaad because his life over before he turns thirty?

That’s fine and dandy that you just don’t like sugar, (though I don’t think she’s being quite so literal with the cake thing), but I feel obligated to say that what the bathroom scale says is no indication of whether or not a person has an eating disorder. (I’m not saying that you do, of course, but that in general…

Maybe you having a hearty meal with dessert once every month would be eating in moderation, even according to Nigella’s standards? It would count as having “a slice of cake” every now and then.

I’d argue that the very language of “clean eating” imbues food with a level of stigma and phobia that’s pretty pathological. In eating disorder treatment, we talk about “disordered eating” versus an eating disorder. I don’t know if it’s safe to argue that clean eating is always an eating disorder (nor do I assume…

Based on my own experience, she’s not wrong at all. I tried a bunch of acne “cures” from forums when I was younger and wasn’t treating my anxiety and I got really, really into restrictive eating under the guise of “medicinal” eating—and bottomed out at about 77 lbs., a two week-long stay at a hospital, and a year of…

Without making blanket statements about diet trends I can absolutely confirm that some people with serious eating disorders use restrictive dieting practices to mask or deny their illness. They are not always even aware that they’re suffering from a disorder.

If I know my pro-life rhetoric, they will say that he took it too far but that some people are just sensitive to the Injustice of it All (tm). Never mind that this particular PP didn’t provide abortions and most of the pregnant women there were seeking prenatal testing, you see, because Planned Parenthood is evil and…

...so still no motive, huh?

I’d be worried about the performance of the rich kids whose parents hovered over every homework assignment, paid for special tutors and coaches at every turn and hired consultants for the college application process to get them into schools that would be beyond their reach.

Queen! Goddess! I will follow you anywhere Margaret! Take me on a Catbirdventure!
