No, I am not saying that we shouldn't give teen mom's things like cribs and carseats, come on. I would do the same for my sister. I'm pointing out the fact that positive attention is a contributing factor in teen pregnancy and that comes in many forms, including things like parties.

That's not always true. In many communities, early childbearing is the norm, and is actually a "risk factor" for future teen pregnancies. And it truly does afford a lot of positive attention—imagine seeing your cousin or sister with her baby getting all kinds of baby showers, presents, attention, validation of her…

No, that's totally oversimplifying the issue. A major contributing factor is the love that the mother expects the child will reciprocate, the overall cultural focus on motherhood as being the best thing a woman can do, and the low economic opportunities afforded to women in that situation. Birth control can help a…

A big reason for teenage pregnancy (aside from piss-poor education) is the attention and validation that the teenagers get. I can see that maybe this type of special feature reinforces those feelings.

I forgot who Danity Kane was and I literally thought they were the made-up girl group from SNL. https://screen.yahoo.com/trl-000000623.…

Yeah, I was mostly thinking about the "what if" episode, where Owen was still chief and not helping her out at all.

I think that was about him dealing with it, and the show made it clear that how he was behaving was not okay at all. She wasn't karmically punished, like suddenly becoming sterile or something ridiculous like that.

I unapologetically love this show. Part of this is being a lil pre-med, and part of this is just loving the multifacted and complicated depictions of women. I've never seen another show like it. Women who are smart, compassionate, and trying to deal with some of the problems I currently face, and will continue to…

And, the show portrayed her husband lovingly holding her hand during the procedure. She was never punished for her choice.

Huh?

"Hmmm, it says here that Jane sucks a lot of dicks. It was written on a bathroom stall and posted to the internet."

Not only that, maybe it would actually make a difference. One of the ways we enforce morals is through socially ostracizing people who violate those norms.

Maybe they should be. We have a sex offender's registry...colleges should do the same. :/

I don't see the problem with these lists. If the men were found responsible for sexual assault by the university, that's fair public knowledge. Remember, all these people on the list have been through a hearing and been found guilty (by the university). Hacking these databases and publishing their names seems like…

Yeah, I think it's a saying, and it really means, "Doesn't want any female friends." You know, someone who has a lot of internalized misogyny and therefore prides herself on being "one of the guys." I've definitely said what JLaw did, and it's less about a headcount than about an attitude.

Absolutely. It's not black and white at all. Sometimes asshole teenagers grow up to be nice people. Maybe, if I met them now, I'd be friends some of the terribles from high school. You just can't hang your happiness on "beating" them in the future, because it's a recipe for unhappiness and forever measuring your…

Yeah, not if you go to school with a lot of rich kids. They'll get into amazing colleges despite their subpar grades and general fuckery, and then go on to make more money than you ever will. To be happy, you have to let the idea of karma go. Terrible people go on to have bright futures too.

Basic (n): someone with no personality. Nothing unusual or passionate about them. A contestant on The Bachelor (with rare exceptions).

Is that true though?? Asking...for a friend who has lost two rings (like $20 ones) and lost the stone out of another. One slipped off my hand in the ocean, the other slipped off my hand while I was just walking in the city. Does it have to do with the fact they were generic rings, and my future bands will be perfectly…

This is the first season of SNL that I've actually watched in recent memory, and I think it's because of all these great ladies.
