I wish you wouldn’t call a grown woman who is the mother of a prom-age kid a “girl.” I had to read this comment several times to figure out who got shot — the mother or the prom-goer.

Not necessarily. PTSD does, in fact, alter the human brain.

Well that would be nearly a first. Guess we'll find out. Just really fucking tired of these stories.

Not sure why people are jumping on you for this comment, it’s a pretty important detail to leave out of the main story.

Family annihilators are overwhelmingly men. Actually most are in the 30s too, oddly enough. Fits the damn profile. It’s like when MRAs, etc bring up female rapists and female serial killers: sure they exist, but they’re so rare as to be even statistically insignificant. It’s just a fucking derail every time. This man

I’m very grateful for the ACA. Before it went into effect, I was turned down by every insurance company I tried due to pre-existing conditions and nearly went bankrupt from medical expenses last year. Now I have an affordable insurance plan with a reasonable deductible ($600) and low copays. Obama wanted to do better,

If Lot had sons, he would have sent them out.

“Game of Tents”

Samantha is by far my favourite character on that show. Carrie is a vapid, and incredibly irresponsible when it comes to money (that really bothered me). Charlotte is co-dependant and whiney. Miranda’s fine (educated, smart, independent). Samantha is successful and good at her job, as well as 100% independent. She

My biggest issue with SATC is that they were mostly terrible friends to each other except when it was a plot point that one of them was a good friend. If I brought up a tragic breakup with my friends and one of them made a stupid pun and then starting talking about themselves, I would probably not keep hanging out

At least SJP is no one’s role model anymore, so who cares what stupid crap she says?

The lack of financial responsibility and her entitled demands of Charlotte are two of my most enduring memories on SATC. Carrie wonders why she doesn’t have the money to cover a down payment on her apartment... then opens her closet to see Manolo Blahnik shoe boxes stacked to the ceiling. And then she’s standing in

Carrie was, undoubtedly, THE WORST.

I loved it at the time, which was late high school and college for me, but it certainly hasn’t kept well with age. It was nice to see a show that was totally for and about (albeit white, rich) women that was at least somewhat honest about sex and stuff and recognized that women were sexual beings (particularly

Reminds me of those comments about why there’s BET and all-female universities and HBCUs. Why do we need those, what about this equality stuff you tout?? Maybe because women and people of color were (are still) denied equal access to an education and these came about as the only safe and available place for them to

I think there’s a feminist case to be made for the characterizations of Miranda and Samantha, but not for the show as a whole.

Meryl Streep’s greatest monologue to date (only 25% joking)

Her quote reminded me of a terrible Amy Poehler quote. Someone asked Amy about the lack of minorities in Upright Citizens Brigade. Her response? “Ugh. Pass.”

Let’s break this down, shall we?

Yes! Thank you for saying that. It is admirable that you are able to look at your life and yourself with honesty and understanding.
