i have to disagree. I personally like me a little sarcasm with my gawker media.

"I also noticed she was black. I then thought it would be funny to tweet JOKES about that observation"

This is why war rhetoric gets so dangerous in health care. Every disease is not a "battle", every illness is not an enemy waiting to be conquered. I work on issues related to end-of-life care and advance care planning and our culture's obsession with avoiding death drives me crazy. By denying the role of death in…

Me and my girlfriend have been meaning to try Insomnia Cookies for a while now, and I'll be damned if this isn't confirming my decision. Shit getting weird at 2am + cookies = my kind of night.

Mine too. How fucked up is that?

Think those people complaining will put their money where their mouths are? "So help me God I would rather die in this fire than let a trans woman carry out of it."

1. Natural beauty is a myth, stop perpetuating it.

WTF is with all these replies, "forced sterilization is bad in theory, but this lady is a bad mom and maybe she deserved it". Am I on a feminist website? Do we have to have the #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen talk again?

We don't know ANYTHING about her life. We do know how bad inequality in California is, how crippling…

Just so everyone is aware, the appropriate response to witnessing a scene like this is to use your phone to call 911, not record it on video.

How about people just don't be stupid?

Sigh. I'm just going to focus on the message from the city attorney. Bravo sir.

Um, no. That is some bullshit.

OF COURSE YOU CAN'T CHANGE A FUCKING DIAPER IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESTAURANT.

You want to show me one shred of proof that millions of men aren't rapists? I'll take your word for you, yourself, but you have ZERO proof that "millions of others" aren't rapists. I know that millions of women, girls and boys have been raped because there's evidence collected by police. Who exactly do you think is…

If you have a problem with women being fearful, angry or frustrated because of a patriarchal rape culture, the people you need to take it up with are NOT women.

Lots of people don't hold the "eye for an eye" view that you do.

You may not be the only one, but I'm not with you on this, and I hope not many people are. Rape isn't okay. Period.

It wasn't an intentional confession, but it was a confession. If we lived in a world in which people understood the difference between consent and surrender, anyway.

A hangover is a consequence of drinking too much, rape is a consequence of someone deciding to rape.

when you (hypothetical you, not you in particular, who i do not know) read about rape and your first reaction is 'she shouldn't have got drunk' rather than 'he shouldn't have raped her', then it's a sign of rape culture. it is, of course, good sense to be careful whenever you're drinking, but it's impossible to rule…
