Right? Maybe the actual problem lies in why people need to escape so much... Don’t touch on that tho, 50-hr workweeks for all.

Meanwhile, in real Australian news, our absolute prick of a Prime Minister put his foot down last night, effectively banning members of his party from voting on their conscience regarding Gay Marriage. Instead they have to vote ‘along party lines’, which is anti-Gay Marriage. Australia is the last English speaking…

That explains this headline...

On a trip to Australia, a girlfriend and I landed in Sydney and through a mix-up, were dropped off at the wrong hotel. As it wasn’t too far, we decided to just schlep our luggage to the correct place. Three different groups asked us what happened and if we wanted to go for a drink (guys & girls). It was 830 in the…

Fosters is not a thing here. Nobody drinks it. Stop perpetuating this myth. The rest is true though.

Sure, but it’s disingenuous to say “we just market according to what kids like” when we know that what kids like is significantly determined by marketing. And I don’t think anyone would argue that kids are being forced into gendered boxes by employees at toy stores (it makes no sense to shame a kid you’re trying to…

Absolutely. What critics of the Amnesty position advocate for is the ‘Nordic Model’, which does precisely what you’ve asked about. It’s the law in Sweden. You can read about it here: http://www.equalitynow.org/sites/default/…

It’s is about time people start listening to sex workers. It makes no sense to prosecute them in any capacity, for the sake of “protecting” them, because it doesn’t. Also, Shut up Lena and Ann, and listen to these women in the thick of it for once, instead of hiding behind your holier-than-thou, rich, white chick…

Especially since the Supreme Court found that laws like SC’s VIOLATE the US Constitution.

This is rape.

*comes to Kitchenette*

Many years ago at the group home for developmentally disabled teens where I worked there was a resident who really, really wanted to go to the best steak house in the city for his 18th birthday. He had behavior and anger issues, but was determined to earn that birthday dinner, and he managed it. So another staff…

Heehee!

Oh my god I’m so glad there’s a space for me to express how stupid this article is. It’s literally the exact same article papers have been writing about rich white kids in Manhattan since the 1920s, updated each year to include the new technology and trend.

There are so many confounding factors. The idea that these white male directors and actors are making the money mostly based on market demands as opposed to their access to the market and the support of studios doesn't really seem that well proven.

I don’t even know what the fuck you are saying, other than... “WAHH WAHH... I have friends online who use terms and phrases like ‘SJW’ and ‘Political correctness’ and ‘culture war,’ and when I type that shit out, I finally feel like I have my GROWN UP underpants on!”

I don’t like to be rude online these days. I like having conversations with people, learning new things, and finding different opinions- plus how they formed. But here’s the thing: My daughter likes Superheroes AND Princesses. But she’s only allowed one “girl” aisle in the toy section- even Nerf’s ‘Rebel’ bow and…

To paraphrase Neil Fucking Gaiman, replace every instance of “political correctness” with “treating people with respect” and then reread the statement.

Please tell us all what toys can only be played with if you have a penis, and what toys can only be played with if you have a vagina. Please.

Because culturally-reinforced exclusivity is bad.
