Between this comment and Cherie’s “brutally” descriptor, it certainly sounds like they both remember something. The account in the article describes an attack that is horrific, but not necessarily perceived as violent or brutal. And given her musical inexperience, it wouldn’t shock me if the other girls decided that…

Joan’s statement sounds weird. She doesn’t deny that fucked up things happened, “bizarre relationships”, she just wasn’t there that one time. Well whatdoyouknow...

Or, you know, Joan and Cherie are LYING.

Sorry, I don’t buy that teenage girls- in an era when rape wasn’t as clearly defined as it is now- would’ve beat up an older man in a position of power who was capable of destroying their careers and reputations (not to mention capable of sexually assaulting them, too). A more realistic scenario is that they saw what…

Feminism is and has long been for white women. That’s why few of Amy Schumer’s fans care about her racist portrayals of Latinos, she is fighting the only battle many of them care about.

It’s snarky clickbait. Disrespectful to this poor couple, and just rude.

The headline is bothering me because I can’t make heads or tails of the “prepares to die.” As written, it suggests she's currently preparing to die, which obviously isn't the intention, but I can't figure out what the intention is, or really, why the second clause was included at all.

So you clearly don’t know anything about Amandla because she’s neither a model or a hipster and she’s definitely not “holier than thou”. She’s an intelligent young black girl who is very aware of the existence of anti-black racism.

It’s been very interesting (hilarious) to watch some white people who had no problem pre ordering the book suddenly getting insanely upset about Atticus being racist and saying “She never wanted it published!!1!”

I teach Mockingbird. I am black and southern. I never thought an Atticus Finch would have had me over for dinner. Yet, I’ve had white students identify with this character and want to believe so badly that they too would be the heroic, bucking the system, society-be-damned progressive during that era. No one wants to…

Why would you have a white boy play a handsome Egyptian man?

“In the relative scheme of things, The United States tolerates more freedom of expression and speech than about most anywhere else.”

‘Cos... ‘Merica’s a land of human rights and freedom of expression?

As a Brit in Cameron’s Britain, I am so incredibly angry about what they have made my country about. The Britain I grew up - increasingly diverse, broad-minded, accepting, and interested in the outside world - has become a suspicious, introspective, hostile place under the Cameron regime, and over the next five years,…

That’s just for show and the occasion she has a Maclaren for George and a Silver cross wayfarer for Charlotte. I’m also British and have a bugaboo no old timey pram here!

I made a snarky comment about the current state of England (and the British isles as a whole, really), but I do think it’s worth examining how three young and by all accounts vibrant and gifted girls could be so unhappy and/or disenfranchised with their lives that they could be successfully brainwashed to join ISIS,…

You do know that Europe is a lot more than the tourist traps?(France, Italy and Spain) Go to northern or central Europe and enjoy the statistically safest countries on earth, while marveling at art/culture/history, without all the pickpockets and so called passionate men of southern Europe and France.

Just great how you dehumanized victims of drug addiction as violent savages.

OMFG The people you’ve been listing are all outliers! Are you fucking kidding right now?

Right, because there is no way that violent offenders can be handled in prison. By your logic, male serial killer who targeted men can’t be incarcerated in a men’s prison because he is a threat to other inmates. You make absolutely no sense. trans women are women. Full stop. When we don’t treat them like women, we put…
