Fun Fact: If it weren’t for Queer as Folk, I never would have known that having anal intercourse in the missionary position was something people did! Ever! I thought it was just a fact of life that if you were going to be prodding someone in the butt, then obviously you’d need to go at it from behind. I always…

To be fair, most parents would consider it unreasonable to ban their kids from ever having chocolate or other sugary treats; even kids with diabetes are allowed a little something now and then, whether it be some sort of sugar-free candy or a teensy bit of the sugary stuff.

I mean, it may not be weird to see a cat on a leash, per se, but generally speaking, compared to dogs, cats are WAY more easily irritated by... well, anything, really, but specifically, they’re physically irritated by things like leashes and costumes. Cats are touchy; it’s just how they are. (This is one of many…

D’AWW LOOK AT DA PRESHUS WIBBLE SWEEBIE PIE 😻😻😻

FWIW, much like Queer as Folk or The Office, Shameless started out as an adaptation of a British show and grew into its own phenomenon stateside. The pilot, from what I’ve heard, is practically a shot-for-shot remake, which might make it come across as a bit forced or clunky. It’s a really endearing show, though, and…

If it helps, The Fosters is so overtly progressive and intersectionally-feminist and self-aware and generally wholesome and loving and sincere in its worldview and representation that I have trouble imagining how one could possibly work on that show without reflecting those qualities and values IRL.

FWIW, the ratio has now jumped to 20%, so that’s at least better than before. :/

This is a really great, really well-spoken comment. Kudos, and thank you. <3

The fact that you replied to this comment within half an hour and managed to be listed immediately below it, but somehow only got 10% the number of stars, on freaking JEZEBEL DOT COM, is really depressing to me.

“We can’t turn this all into an all out war between men and women...”

I do love that interlude about how if you try to compensate with a tube of lotion or something, you inevitably “make each gift seem smaller and DUMB!!!”

IT’S SO UNFAOR* JUST AN ALLEGATION IS ENOUGH FOR A GUY TO GET CONVITED** WITHOUT A TRIAL IN THE COURT OF PUCLIC*** OPINION AND HAVE HIS WHOLE LIFE RUINED, HIS CAREER DESTROYED UNTIL HE IS LEFT WITH NOTHING AND UNABLE TO HAVE ANY KIND OF FUTURE I HATE TO SAY IT BUT THIS HAS GONE WAY TOO FAR

Wait, are you using that Jon Stewart gif to be ironic? Because if so, good job. Very irony.

Whatever, (Whatever)man.

No, I’m well aware that baseline body weight and size vary from person to person, and that many women can’t even fit into sample sizes when their weights are pushing the lower limit of a healthy range for them. Because sample sizes are small. You don’t have to be big to have trouble fitting into them.

Eh, as far as I’m concerned, there’s not actually all that much difference between those who actively tapprove of him and those who “don’t see what the big deal is.” And I know you’re trying to be hypothetical or whatever, but come on, Trump is clearly not “handling” his job well by any definition of the word.

“I can’t figure out where it came from Because they most certainly didn’t learn this from their own dads.”

I think you could get your point across without the confusion by saying that it’s more dangerous for our nation as a whole to send our (millions of) kids to school than it is to send our (tens of thousands of) soldiers to Afghanistan. Our children are fighting a deadlier war than our soldiers – the total loss is…

As much as I hate that this training has become such an urgent necessity, I am glad to hear that this knowledge is being shared on a large scale. I think we’re long overdue to teach citizens all forms of basic life-saving skills – whether that’s first aid, suicide prevention, or abuse prevention/response – and schools…
