From my experience, middle class white dudes are way sneakier about their sexual harassment. They wait until they're at work or in some situation where they have a power differential to leverage.

Last time I was in NYC, I had a man randomly say, "You have a nice day, miss." as I was walking down the street. Because the street harassment I get in NYC is usually so much more graphic than that, I thought to myself, "Huh. Those anti-street harassment PSAs must be working because now men are telling me to have a…

The two that really scared the shite out of me from the comments last week were the one about the person who spent the night in that bed and breakfast in CT; and the one where the family is staying in a cabin in VT and the shoeless woman shows up at the door looking for a lift into town.

This story ruined my day.

6 months! But I really didn't spend a lot of time sleeping in the room after that. I started crashing on the couch in front of the TV some nights or over at my boyfriend's house other nights.

I know someone who is an expert on ebola who is currently in ebola-stricken places in Africa working on a vaccine. When he returns to the USA, he is going to quarantine himself in a hotel for 15 days before going home to his family. This is one of the leading experts on ebola in the world and he's not taking any…

Ugh. Paglia. Why does she exist?

I actually loved the book as a young child. The problematic elements detract from it somewhat, but I think those things could be easily edited out without losing anything. Despite being a literature snob, I've always had a soft spot for Hugo. And the Disney film, despite a few problematic bits, is my favourite Disney…

I love your screen name.

And then he overcame those hardships to become the film's hero and everyone learned a lesson.

They did have Quasimodo.

No. Come on. Now he's really chumming the water for pedophiles.

There's plenty of Christian socio-political terrorism in Ireland. But with the argument you're trying to make, you could easily just replace "Islamic world" with "postcolonial world." You really can't pretend to be comparing two religious ideologies if you're not trying to control for all the factors involved that…

Well, if I was in the USA, I'd probably be eating up all the mom and pop donuts, all the hipster donuts and all the Krispy Kreme donuts, too. In fact, all this talk of donuts is making me want those cake donuts you buy in shops that are covered in chocolate. Good thing I live in the middle of nowhere and can't get…

I'm so thankful that I don't live in the USA because if I did, my arteries would be clogged to bursting point because I'd probably be at Dunkin Donuts like every single day. I'd be eating crullers, donuts, drinking coffee. Not going to lie, I'd probably even eat that cronut thing, but the kind that doesn't have any…

I think the sexism is glaring! Also, equating another culture with femininity is an old skool colonist move.

I have always suspected this man, even before he started fixating on Islam. His attitude toward women has always been problematic, to say the least.

Christianity is "ahead" of Islam? Like it's a race? Is extinction the finish line?

I was completely down to laugh at religions, but I turned that movie off after a few minutes.

I've read that cat spit is actually a natural disinfectant.
