Someone make Leviticus: The Movie. I want a movie all about the hazards of sitting on a chair that has previously been sat upon by a woman on her period.

Or..."Fine. Could THE NIGHT please take out the goddamn trash?"

The future is truly a wondrous time.

Anti-feminist, rapey original material be damned: Sleeping Beauty is my absolute favorite Disney animated feature and I will never apologize for it. NEVER!

Usually the only things projected on my desserts are my body image issues so this is definitely a step in the right direction.

The female CEO of GM. The female head of the Secret Service. I have a fear that some crumbling institutions push out women into responsible positions just in time for the latter to take the blame for everything.

Being someone obsessed with language, I see "inspired" as a hint at passivity (someone is inspiring you), because a girl could never inspire someone (insert facepalm.gif here).

I cannot help noticing a difference of intensity between "inspired" and "incredible." Try switching the two and you'll see. Try telling a little boy to be "inspired" and a little girl to be "incredible" and you'll realize it just sounds so "unusual" (read feminist). Plus, even if the message is fine in a gender…

Abstinence pledges break more often than condoms.

Burt, I've been following you and Jez forever now, but I never commented on anything (although my husband has been pressuring me to: "You're reading them all day long, why not say what you have to say?").

Baby clothes may not be that important on the surface, but the words on these clothes clearly send a harmful message that is pervasive throughout societies everywhere: a man's worth lies in his skills and…

Exactly. I am crazy inappropriate when it comes to my own shit bc that is how I cope. When people I know intimately enough to know that they appreciate gallows humor are going through tough times, I crack jokes. I am never above making fun of politicians. But yeah — punching down is just shitty.

Dark humor is generally employed to deal with difficult things in life. The condition of *someone else*, who you are presumably not related to and does not in any way affect *you* or help you deal with your own issues, is different. It's punching down for the sake of a cheap laugh, which is one of the big comedy…

Yup. The defense of the joke bothered me much more than the joke.

Nah, you were being an ass.

Lets keep this civil and not mock this man for his physical disability, mkay?

I am vegetarian now. Congrats, Adam Levine. You did what PETA and Morrissey have failed to do for years.

Yes, me wanting to watch half naked models display overpriced clothing to booming music without terribly bored rich children about is exactly like black people not having the same rights as whites.
