I can’t express my gratitude for Rachel Getting Married. I saw it three times in theaters as a teenager and identified so deeply with all the characters—even though I couldn’t totally understand why. Years later I’d go through my own struggle with addiction—I watched it through that time and since I’ve spent the last…

Silence of the Lambs, incidentally, is a deeply feminist film. I love this brief shot from near the beginning, which tells you basically everything you need to know about Clarice, the FBI, and the entire movie:

I knew how hurt my family and friends would be after finding out and I didn’t want to put them through that.

Blake Shelton isn’t exactly sure why Gwen Stefani digs him so much.

My wife nearly went insane reading our local Brooklyn neighborhood mommy board. I gently suggested she not read it because it seemed that everyone was just trying to outdo each other with how smart their kid was, how quickly they reached benchmarks, etc.

Excuse me while I snort my birth control off my desk.

“The voice of the average, blue-collar American isn’t necessarily represented in Hollywood.”

Polite AND sensible! What a kid!

If that were my kid, that’d be my proudest moment. I think I’d shed a tear.

Advertisers left. Fox had to pay a bunch of women he harassed. And Fox had to hire investigators and lawyers. Just using your words, Bill. They’re your words.

Years ago, my Fox News-watching dad came over for a visit and gave my son Bill O’Reilly’s book for teenagers. My son said “Thanks Grandpa” and after my folks went home, my kid tossed the book in the garbage. He was 14.

Suck it, fucko.

Here’s a nice story about Amy Schumer, an emergency bathroom stop and a $2,000 good deed.

It’s a sad statement on the American energy sector when even somebody as talented as Janet Jackson can’t keep her mining job.

I wish I was surprised that one of the first comments on a FGM article was about the damage done to penises, but I’m not.

No, a cis woman came in and sprayed her privilege all over this article [...] “Cutting of parts of dicks is totally cool guys”. [...] But she wanted second wave brownie points, so here we are. Yay.

As another trans woman who was circumcised at birth and not thrilled that it still goes on, you really need to cut this bullshit out. Even if you sincerely believe that a circumcision is comparable to a clitoredectomy (lol) I can guarantee you that all you’re doing right now is pissing off would-be allies and giving…

You brought up penile circumcision on an FGM post in the first place. You did the exact same thing that MRAs do. I realize you did it for entirely different reasons — as I wrote, your experience is important and valid — but it is NOT this. You are a woman who experienced penile circumcision and that is not what is…

Nowhere did this article even bring up circumcision. Why is it so hard to stay on topic when it’s about an atrocity that’s done to women’s sexual organs? Why is it always, “We must discuss the penis first!”

What the fuck? No. That is like saying if woman A slept with woman B who was trans but before she had transitioned in any way, or even publicly identified that way, then woman A has slept with a woman even though at that time woman B was biologically and publicly identifying as a man. Circumcision done to you as a…
