I spent a lot of my childhood trying to pick up the classroom chalk with my mind.

A perfect example, ladies and gentlemen, of why “yes means yes” has to be taught alongside “no means no.” Poor woman ):

A) This has nothing to do with “allowed.” It has to do with Johnny Depp blaming Vanessa Paradis because their daughter is imitating behavior he has demonstrated for years.

My first though as well. Depp dropped her mother for a woman more than 20 years his junior, but obviously this is all Vanessa’s fault for being “permissive.”

I’m going to just repost what I said yesterday over on Gawker’s article. I’ve highlighted the part that any anti-vaxxer reading this should pay close attention to.

Well, promising a unicorn farting rainbows to white men. The rest of us are supposed to believe that once we have income equality, systemic racism and sexism will just vanish. Or something. I don’t know, I’m not clear on the details- last time I asked, I was told that it’s good enough for Germany and France! and…

No worries. For whatever it’s worth, I don’t have an especially intense dislike of Bernie Sanders or anything- I think his heart is generally in the right place, and I was genuinely shocked when I read that article. But I think he’s shown time and again that women and minorities (and the issues that primarily affect…

There are about a billion valid criticisms of Hillary Clinton but she is very funny. It’s pretty universally acknowledged by people who’ve met her (including those who dislike her like David Axelrod) that she has a great sense of humor. But she’s funny in public too (like her reactions to the Senate hearings or her…

Weird. I actually thought this bit was awesome. What makes it cringeworthy is how true it is.

Could Jezebel be any thirstier for Bernie sanders? This is absurd.

Maybe these religious organizations should start paying some taxes before they think they can decide what is and isn’t covered by health care.

I love that, for these people, filling out a two page form is an "undue burden" but 48 hour waiting periods and making women drive 400 miles to the nearest Women's Health clinic isn't.

It’s just cracks me up because it seems like your dad did what a shit ton of moms do. Including mine. It’s just psychologically more damaging to men because women are taught from birth that’s the way it should be and for men it's a fucking surprise.

My favorite MRA thing is that custody leans in favor of women, which is true, but most men are more than thrilled to not have custody. For men who are willing and in physical proximity to their kids, not abusive, most courts want to and will grant 50-50 custody.

I feel like everyone I know that has an ex who is behind on child support the ex also has a girlfriend/wife/mother that constantly reinforces the idea that having to regularly pay child support is unfair and they are a good parent and the other parent/government is just mean.

This is an interesting angle but the fact remains that the support to which custodial parents are entitled are specifically designed to cover the costs they accrue because they are custodial parents. Sure, single mothers may qualify more easily for food stamps, but they’re spending those food stamps on the kids they…

Those programs are gender neutral. If he had raised his kids, he would have qualified for the amazing fun gravy train of of government benefits that being an impoverished single parent brings you (according to your description). All the paperwork for those programs doesn’t do itself, either, and that’s balanced with…

Who the hell wants a gov’t subsidy. We didn’t have sex with the gov’t!

My ex owes 30k, and he’s supposed to provide health insurance and pay 50% of her medical expenses. He’s never done those last two.
