Simmer down BrunerBrunerToo. No one is talking about “rejecting” anyone. It’s great that fear has forced you all to finally give a damn about people darker shades than you (although I’m willing to bet dollars to doughnuts you people don’t actually care, but lets not confuse the argument). Welcome. Only thing is, you…
Inauguration day is my late father-in-law’s birthday. He would have been 72. So Mrs. Funk, her mother, and I will be doing what he would have wanted us to do: Getting shitfaced drunk, listening to Al Green, and not watching the inauguration.

Hello. We’re The Root.
I love the “regret sex” trope (by love I mean hate). I mean how anti rational is it to think that if a woman has a one night stand and regrets the decision the next day, instead of going home, taking a long hot shower, and pretending it didn’t happen (denial would be the most obvious defense mechanism), instead, she…
I wish any of this were a surprise. But then, I read this article just last night, soooooooooooo
This. This is the thing that should be the top of the conversation topics list every time someone passes some terrible bathroom law. The behavior you’re trying to prevent is already illegal, so how is making it... twice as illegal going to make any damn difference?
Viola Davis was honored today with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and I hope you’ll join me in saying: it’s…
When I was a kid a second grade girl at a nearby school was raped in a school bathroom. An adult man had just walked into the school during classes, entered the bathroom and waited for whoever first walked in. He didn’t have to dress up, and certainly no signage stopped him from doing what he wanted. Do these idiots…
The other side of that coin also raises some interesting concerns. How many Republican lawmakers are going to be happy with the result when guys like Shawn Stinson are suddenly required by law to use the ladies’ because he was assigned female at birth?
Why do people keep saying it never happens? It does happen you know. Just because you hate the American right doesn’t mean that they can’t be right about some stuff, once in a while. http://eaglerising.com/32526/man-pretending-to-be-transgendered-attacks-multiple-victims-in-womens-facilities/ and there: http://www.dail…
Also, it’s already illegal to peek at / sexually assault / rape someone in the bathroom.
Victim: Help! I was raped by a police offic-
Republican: No you weren’t.

In 2001, when I was about 14 years old, my male friends invented a game that went like this: one of them—and it was…
It’s a mark of intelligence to recognize what you don’t know and seek counsel and knowledge about it. Only stupid people think they know everything.
“... and when I hung up the phone it occurred to me, my boy was just like me yeah, my boy was just like me...
They both bought property on White Feminist Island and don’t check their mail very often.
I think (but am not sure) she represents “IBS,” not “intestines,” so she’s perky because she’s succeeding in making Business Lady miserable.
I like to think they wrote the part for Kathy Griffin, and when she wasn’t interested all they could find in the resulting scramble for the shoot was a Lucy Ricardo wig and a woman willing to work for scale. Like, the original concept was the intestines walking around with a mic, doing some stand-up, maybe heckling…
