I really dislike that phrasing.

So that 14% statistic for all stranger rape would stay constant despite the population density?

I mean, as shitty as it is, at least the crimes are being reported. That’s the first step to actually reducing them. People never believe me when I tell them we literally have no concrete idea of how prevalent sexual assault actually is due to underreporting/poor crime tracking.

Year by year, things get better. And year by year, we become more connected and aware and informed. More and more information, about fewer and fewer problems. When you turn on the news and hear scary facts and figures, take a moment to create some perspective: Yes, we still have a ways to go! But ten years ago there…

And, of course...

I love her as well. She has an uncanny knack for not just being really funny, but also amplifying everyone else who performs with her.

Yes, it’s easy to mistake drama for passion, especially when you’re so young. They are effectively still in adolescence. I feel sorry for both of them that this is played out on a public stage, and doubtless the exposure just increases the pressure.

Part of the difference is that fathers don’t have to fear the dichotomy that is the Good Mom/Bad Mom. Because we do have a stereotype for the mom who’s obsessed with baby gear. Only it’s not Gearhead Mom, it’s Psycho Lady Who Will Call CPS Because You Buckled Your Carseat Wrong.

As a mostly sane person, I’d agree with this. My boyfriend at 23 and I fought constantly, explosively, and sometimes violently. We were passionate, and terrible for each other. We talked about marriage and kids, which would have been a disaster. One or both of us would surely have ended up in jail/bankrupt/with major…

Nope, that how I saw it too. I’m Black, and I LOVE Amy Schumer. She IS hilarious, including when she jokes about Race. But people have gotten waaaay too oversensitive.

But... how are you supposed to criticize racism if you can’t even show it (and the racist person) as the butt of the joke? I’ve just looked up the term and from my understanding, hipster racism is when you use funny to mask your racism. She uses comedy to highlight her own racism, it’s not masked, she makes herself…

Paraphrasing Mel Brooks: “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is where you fall through an open sewer and die”

This is like explaining to people how Borat was not actually an anti-semetic movie.

That’s not hipster racism, she’s calling attention to the fact that it’s fucked up when people do that, through comedy, which is a much better way to turn people around on their thinking instead of berating them. SHE is the butt of the joke for being the racist person in the scene, not the black people for being…

Well no... as in... that was the point. One of the sales assistants threw up his hands in frustration at her. To highlight her racism in that skit. I think that’s how I understand it, BUT I MAY BE TOTALLY WRONG.

I thought that was making fun of her being racist ?

The problem with pulling a joke in front of Kim and Kanye is neither one of them will get it.

Ooh, can we list the worst prose genres please? I’m thinking:

It sounds like ending the relationship is probably best for everybody. As a Pregnant Lady [TM] I certainly sympathize with feelings of abandonment at a vulnerable time, and I also think the timing of all this is strange and curious. But mostly I hope that they both get the counseling they need and put violence behind…

you feminists love them because there’s no evil men to worry about
