When my daughter was in 1st grade she was repeatedly harassed and pushed by a classmate. Upon hearing this I asked why she didn't hit him to make him go away, she responded with "The teacher said we should not hit our friends." I immediately told her "Someone who is trying to hurt you is not your friend." The next…

And the ones who do work up the courage to say, "Hey, y'know, that was not ok - I was just assaulted/raped/whatever," are beaten down by friends, mentors, and loved ones. "Are you sure you didn't just misunderstand?" (Because it's internalized generations back and blah blah blah.)

Hey, Mom. I'm still looking at you.

The British Home Office did a study into teen relationships and found that sexual and domestic violence was astonishingly normalised by a huge number of teens. They've been running campaigns in conjunction with a popular teen soap, MTV and various media outlets called This Is Abuse which aims to educate boys that…

I just love this girl. This is exactly the shit I would LOVE doing if I were rich and famous. That, and buying 20-million-dollar apartments in NYC.

Married T.Swift fan here. COME AT ME, BRO.

I find it incredibly sweet! You have people like Lohan running around like they are owed the world, and Swift made this girl's day just because. And those are some really nice shower gifts! She could have just shown up and swanned around being "TAYLOR," but she did the right thing.

I heard somewhere that if you invite the president to your wedding that sometimes he'll send a card. I've always wanted to try that.

I'm pretty sure being The One Who Bought The KitchenAid Mixer automatically rights any past wrongs on her part. Because that thing is seriously the tits.

I once heard you're supposed to hold the glass by the stem so your body heat doesn't warm up the wine too much... Not sure if it's true. my mum was pretty drunk when she told me.

Was learning to hold a wine glass in that matter part of Kate's princess training? It looks so...regal. Someone would have to remind me not to hold a wine glass like a Diet Coke can. And also, "Stop making that gaggy face because you hate red wine."

I know it's just promotion for that new Seth Rogen movie and I DON'T CARE

UGH. YES. This is why Naomi is the greatest.I watch her show The Face and she's so conscious of uplifting the WoC who make it on the show. Carmen Carrera is also just an amazing woman, and I'm so in love with the way she uses her fame for advocacy, including calling out Drag Race, the show that made her famous, for…

But they're SO CUTE!!!!!!!! Aw, bears.

To be fair, all of Africa is just an elaborate set created to inspire rich and beautiful white travelers and make them feel all brave and spiritual. It's nice when a native serves you drinks in your safari tent or cooperatively does a little dance in traditional costume. Beyond that, the culture really is…

Imagine unspoiled wilderness combined with a charmingly provincial dash of cultural superiority. Plus really good bread, cheese, and wine.

French Montana sounds like an interesting place.

1. Re: Will & Kate - I officially don't give a shit because my ancestors left their island in, like, the 17th century and I hate the way you can never turn italics off on Kinja. But you can make them bold. Forgot what I was trying to say about britroyals. Dang. Fuck you kinja.
