Love me some pet rats! I used to have a whole bunch of them. Such great pets! People don't realize how loving, smart, playful and affectionate they are.

"This to me proves what I have feared...the parting ways of the "gay community" which for better or worse lumped a bunch of people together with varying and different core interest because of their sexuality."

"Would you celebrate an article that claimed Black men disrespect women as a matter of course?"

Indeed! I've had pet rats for about 3 years now and they are the best.

there are plenty of articles in which black women talk about black men displaying multiple acts of misogyny towards them. so, real talk, other minorities are being called out for their misogyny. not to mention the plethora of articles talking about how hip hop is sexist and hateful towards women, with the exception…

'...basically presenting gay men and gay culture in general as hedonistic, destructive, and posionous to straight people who are the "real" victims.'

The problem is that it seems they're working the bugs out. It was working, then it was slow, now it's lulling you into a false sense of hope. Refresh, refresh, refresh, until it gives you the truth!

Ughhh! Even rats are in joining the fucking Illuminati.

He used an example, but that point of the piece is something deeper than that. And much more pervasive. That's why the piece was so long. Because he was trying to get to all those places to make that point.

BEWARE THE RAT ILLUMINATI.

I want to smooch their furry little faces.

A woman didn't write this piece. A gay man did, about the way he saw some members of his community treating women. He doesn't think it's ok to touch women without their consent, to impose sexual conversations on them or to insult their bodies. Most women would agree. Being asked to keep your hands, sex talk and…

Except this isn't about that. This isn't about going to a gay club and being treated badly. This is about misogyny and should be discussed. Please stop trying to trivialize it into not being invited to some kind of party. That's really very blind of you, actually. Really, it secures for me that this is about privilege…

EEEEEEEEE EVERYBODY LOOK AT WHAT MARK WROTE ON MY COMMENT!

I wish I could promote this comment harder.

Oh, okay, it's a map of rat locations. I had this image of a helpful little rat that would carry a flag in its mouth and scamper over a map to the location you wanted.

Oh, I don't think the hashtag counters the problems on Jezebel, especially since Jezebel not only treated it as if it didn't exist, but when it finally reported on it, Jezebel erased the black woman who created it and that it was one of the catalysts for it. Jezebel pretended it never happened, but its readers know…

I'm right there with ya. I come from a tropical country where roaches fly, not just randomly, but directly into your face (!!). Even though I got a rat climbing over my foot whilst going down the stairs at Bowling Green once, I'll take that over roaches any day.

Those rats need to get themselves a calendar.

The big adorable rat picture drew me to this article, as I keep rats as pets. I guess a map like that of my neighborhood would show only 1 red block. My house. ;)
