@raineoffire: I think it does. Multiple secret children eh Madonna, you old card you.

@PilgrimSoul: You're right. Dehumanisation and othering is how all forms of discrimination are perpetuated . It's the strategy the nazi's used against the jews (and their other targets), the Hutus used against the Tutsis, and that has been used for centuries against disabled and homosexuals. Othering of sex workers,…

@BuffyBot: Oh god, please lookout for your sister. And be careful not to judge her in person, you don't want her to feel she can't confide in your family or admit she's made a mistake and is in over her head. I'm not accusing you of that, but I remember someone I knew had a similar stuation with an abusive boyfriend,…

@muddgirl: I hate that viewpoint. It just promotes prostitutes as others that can be exploited without thought. If you can view prostitutes as something that only exists for your pleasure, I'm guessing it's not much of a stretch to extend it to other women.

@raineoffire: We already know his dad was Bob Barker. I can see him and Madonna getting it on.

What's the betting Kirtsen Prout felt very awkward standing next to the other ladies. I mean, she has holes in her dress for chrissakes.

@nothanks: Thank you. I hate the increasingly prevalent view that the more sexual gratification in society, the less sex crimes that will occur. It simply doesn't work like that. The popularisation of violent porn and strip clubs are feeding into the notion of women as nothing but a source of sexual pleasure, whose…

Coded lyrics in her music?! Damn those sneaky Catholics.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: I'd agree with you that those types of guys are disturbing, and I'm glad I'm unaware that anyone I know believes that. But you know what that reminded me of? When rapists are discussed in threads, people often say if you really want sex you can always go to a prostitute. So, unfortunately, I…

One man said of one of his encounters, "I could tell she was new to the country. To be new in a country and be a prostitute – it can't be a choice . . . She looked troubled." Another offered this anecdote about an African prostitute:

@CissyPants: I'm with you, they all suck equally in my mind.

How does John Mayer propose we remove our pot brownies from the bottle. I envisage a lot of precious crumbs being lost.

I like that Britney has a bulls**t alert. I feel that Jezebel should have one too. It could be used to preface anything Pat Robertson, Bill O'Reilly, and Sarah Palin have to say. Warning, be on high alert, the following piece contains high levels of BS. May be hazardous to your mental health.

@Ms.RantyPants: I can't believe your class had that opinion after meeting you, and that they had the insensitivity to voice that opinion with you there. I'm sorry you had to sit through that. One of the problems I have with the prenatal screening is that it does put the option on the table of aborting a fetus with a…

How come no one mentioned this wonder product in the Yaz thread. I'm sold!

@beastybeatsy: Thank you for your 'disabilities aren't normal' comment. My brother is seriously autistic, and while he doesn't have a physical disability like your sister, he does stand out due to his behaviour, even if he's being good, because it's instantly obvious he isn't normal. When I was younger I used to get…

Price an Illinois company charges for a pen embedded with Abraham Lincoln’s "genetic essence": $1,650

Portion of California’s revenue between 1852 and 1870 composed of taxes paid by Chinese laborers: 1/2 That's incredible. Especially in light of the discrimination faced by the Chinese at the time. I wonder if that fact was publicised at the time.

@curiousgeorgiana: The shriek before someone has a seizure is so scary isn't it. It's so high pitched and eerie. I have a brother with epilepsy. He's been seizure free for years, but I used to dread hearing that sound.

@girl_talk: Revolveclothing has that too. I sometimes look at that in awe. I literally have thousands of dollars worth of clothes, yet I still need more. Especially everything from that anthropologie catalogue. Can I ask you if their sizing is similar to other mid priced designer clothes or more vanity sized than gap.…
