My friend and I joined a volleyball game with some strangers in the park last weekend. The teams ended up being all girls versus all boys. The boys contested every in and out call that was in our favor, even though their own friends were handing out. I thought it was just a casual game, so it was kind of embarrassing…

I don't understand any of the behavior of any the people on these shows! I understand for the great majority of them it's all about being on TV, but... well, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe it matches people pretty well. They all want to be famous and they're all willing to literally sell themselves to do it.…

I gotta admit, I tried to just passively sit and read while my wife watched. I couldn't turn my ears off, though, and at one point thought I was going to hyperventilate from the stress of not destroying her viewing experience by screaming at the TV.

I was particularly fond of "You play like a girl" to explain why they lost to a team of "girls." You'd think in that case, it would be a compliment.

Both shows, Bachelor and Bachelorette, are embarrassments. They demean men, women, relationships, basic civility...I could go on.

"He's like a little girl in the net. Scared of everything coming at him." Says one of the idiots. No, he's not like a little girl in the net, he's like a little boy! The girls are KICKING YOUR ASS.

I sincerely hope that Texans remove him from office in the upcoming election. With enough support, Wendy could take him down. I'm donating as well :]

Wendy Davis will go down in history as a true hero, and I realize that this is just the beginning. She is so, so good.

But that's different. Because she doesn't have a penis. No penis, no common courtesy (or human rights).

Especially because Rick Perry freaked out whenever his own personal life was brought up during his presidential run. You don't get to throw a fit about people using your life story against you and then turn around and do the exact same thing to someone else.

She just made that exact point on "Meet the Press." As she said, personal stories belong to the people involved. Politicizing someone else's history just results in backlash.

I think that by mansplaining to Wendy Davis about how she should have learned from her own life story to be anti-choice, Rick Perry showed a nasty side that will hurt him if he does decide to run in 2016. Quite aside from the obvious sexism, that comment was pretty rude, and that's the kind of thing that alienates…

The n-word is understood to be an insult, whereas "Black" is merely a description. Can you picture a scenario where you're using someone's skin color as the meat of insult? Like, "What makes you fucked up is that you're black?" That's pretty implicit with the n-word. Kind of like saying "fag" instead of "gay" or…

The same thing you would say to a white person, or anyone making offensive remark.

How about - " What you're saying makes me uncomfortable. I don't feel like I can respond to things like that without making us both feel awkward because I don't agree with you."?

Calling her out for prejudice against her own group feels like it might be condescending coming from a white girl.

Here's a quick distinction — not the only one, but an easy guide.

If you really don't understand the difference between using a slur to denigrate all members of an ethnic group and telling someone to shut the fuck up because of what that person is doing right now, you really do need schooling.
