The problem with that analogy is that nothing Hefner did had a fraction of the positive impact LBJ’s social policies did.

They probably made a lot of sacrifices in the personal lives in order to pursue a lifestyle they perceived as glamorous and progressive. Thinking they were taking part in some great movement, they probably severed ties with family members and conservative members of their communities and likely had nowhere else to go.…

I know we’re in the post-sanity period, but I expect better trolling.

Of course the obvious fact that the majority of these women were usually quite young, often intoxicated and most of the men were much older, richer and powerful than themselves. But fuck them for showing up to be exploited, amirite.

Well, he was. He did good things, and he was also horrible. Acknowledging the good things he did isn’t a dismissal of his bad behaviorS.

Of course you don’t blame Hef. You seem like an awful human being.

I was thinking about his civil rights activism. To me, it seems that it all worked to serve men. He fought for sexual freedom (for men to freely enjoy women), he fought for women to get the pill (so that pregnancies wouldn’t hinder men’s sexual activities with women and men wouldn’t have to worry about being…

I’m totally shocked that a man who made his career objectifying women would abuse them and treat them as disposable. Shocked.

Nope that’s the medium place, which was hilarious also.

I rewatched the first season a few weeks ago and Micheal is so amazingly diabolical through the whole thing and it’s so perfect.

I am going to read something so I can sleep I thought.

He’s a teenager that has been bullied and ostracized. Ellen is pretty well-known for having a platform to encourage normals that are underdogs.

Neither. It is exhausting. And in some cases, understandable. He’s a kid and those photo’s seem remote. If he’s from a small town, the exposure could help him find a mentor that can guide him into a creative career field.

I just dismissed 3 comments declaring that art is necessarily dangerous (WTF? Maybe don’t use your toddler brother in it then?) and that trains aren’t silent. Just fucking Google it. Read one of many, many articles by everyone from the fucking rail companies to newspapers to science blogs that say the exact same…

I’m echoing the exact verbiage of rail companies: it’s on massive signs all around train tracks because people do shit like this. You will not hear the train behind you until it is too late to remove yourself from its path.

I don’t care what you’re dressed like —DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS ON RAILROAD TRACKS.
