In case anyone's wondering what the epitaphs on the crosses over the fake "graves" say, the ones I can make out say "famous writer", "renowned artist", "farmer", etc. Pretty ironic given that Russia's entire social infrastructure is crumbling right now- most of their famous writers and artists move to the UK or…

Exactly, it's a purely moralistic argument. It's not saying "this is influencing our children negatively"; it's saying "we have a problem with naked butts in PRINCIPLE and don't want to pay for them."

Another thing, to people saying "yeah yeah yeah but she's rich so she can't complain." If a wealthy white actress in this position, let's agree that we can safely assume that less renowned women or women of color have it even WORSE and that this is an issue worth talking about.

The vest/blazer/thing is weird but I kind of lurrrrve it.

Yes, but...duh. I don't think anyone reads this story and thinks, "Good on her! Going back to meet him was a great thing to do!" It doesn't merit pointing out that being around rapists raises your chance of getting raped, because it's so obvious. That's why pointing it out very quickly starts to look like victim…

As a brunette, I can "pass" as a pale Italian if I walk confidently enough. But my blonde, Scandinavian friend? The amount of shit she gets is horrible.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Misogyny and transphobia can be so interlinked- it's like being born a woman is bad enough, but (in their view) "choosing" to become something so inferior is incomprehensible and horrible. Ugh.

Okay. Loads of perfectly rational, reasonable comments on here about knowing where food comes from, etc. But for my animal loving, sensitive, shy 15-year-old self, this would've been profoundly traumatic. I've only ever known rabbits as pets (adorable, innocent, fluffy pets), and I would've probably not had the guts…

White. Civil. Rights.

That phrasing doesn't sound like the most inspiring, to be fair. Sometimes I give blowjobs when I'm not feeling up for sex, but more often it's because I DO feel like giving a blowjob, and I show that by being enthusiastic and phrasing it in those terms. Maybe an open conversation with your wife could put you both on…

Personally I don't "give" sex in my relationship, and my bf and I would be equally horrified at the thought of sex that isn't 100% enjoyable and pleasurable to both parties. I feel really sorry for you if you're married to someone who doesn't feel the same.

This is about the level of social consciousness and zeitgest-ness that I expect from a magazine that chose Hitler as 'person of the year'.

That sounds like a story...

*blushes*

I'm just getting a really sad image of disappointed, lonely old people getting back in their cars because they've been denied their day out. Surely having attentive staff and logging visitor details upon entering would be better for safety?

I get your point, but I think the efficacy of these insults does *specifically* depend on them being hurled at Perry. They mimic his puerile homophobia and take down his tough-guy persona through satire. It's all about the context of who he is and what he's said in the past.

Are you a troll or a fortune cookie?

GUYZ IT'S COMMIE HELL PLZ SAVE ME FROM THE PINKOS

To people saying these jokes aren't high-brow or subtle, I think you're missing the point. Rick Perry isn't high-brow or subtle (though he is a joke). They're mocking his own little caveman peanut-brain and I think it's hilarious. The questions are intentionally disrespectful because this loathsome toad doesn't…

My 'rents are considering doing just that. It's fabulous. Oh and the free healthcare? That applies to students, too. Having lived life bouncing between KidCare and no insurance, I asked my doctor how much my first visit would cost and she laughed and patted my hand.
