There is nothing in this world more ugly than someone who wants to prevent a person from reading a book or trying to ban one. Usually they're ill-informed pearl clutching busybodies who haven't even read the text in question. It's one of the most small minded little evils.
This idea that there are people out there with (a) the capability to and (b) the desire to "annihilate America" is ridiculous. The only nation that has the capability to annihilate anyone (a couple thousand times over) is the USA. This whole paranoia of people willing to "do anything" to "destroy America!" because…
She was also in a horrible, near-fatal car accident in her 20s that lead to a number of above the neck surgeries. I mean, what the fuck, people.

She has stated she is a feminist on many occasions and made an album that centred on feminism. She also featured Chimamanda Adichie, who is also a feminist on one of her songs. What about her isn't feminist? Is it the fact she's a black feminist in a white world or the fact that she is unapologetically sexual?
beyonce's reply: weaves, extreme contouring, plastic surgery, liposuction and a whole lot of fakeness.
OMG but does she really get to criticize standards of beauty I mean she SAYS she's a feminist but she always wears body suits. I mean, she explicitly identifies with the term feminist, samples feminists talking about feminism on her album, but her tour was called Mrs. Carter. I mean, she features Black dancers in her…
The celibacy thing is totally unacceptable to me. I mean, if some people happen to have a low sex drive and would be celibate anyway, that's beside the point. I am a Christian of a conventional, mainstream church, and I firmly believe that God gave us joy and gave us sex, nude sunbathing, fudge ripple ice cream,…
But this isn't the divine. I know I'm being a crank here, and pattern recognition rocks and all, but only thinking that the images your mind creates are worth anything are when they look like a man who you believe is all powerful and magical reinforces the worst kind of magical, authoritarian thinking.
EVERY cereal? Really? I wonder if that means they have discontinued cereal, like Quisp, and King Vitamin, and Frankenberry all year long. And who gets the toys inside the package? Do they have gluten free cereals? Cereal that wasn't made in facilities that process peanuts and other tree nuts?
Look, just because I rely on stars from Jezebel commenters to feel good about myself doesn't mean I have low self-esteem, ok?
the audience includes almost no people who have a personal relationship to a story wherein a woman gets torn apart by dogs. the audience includes many people with a personal connection to rape. this is what bothers me about the "but what about all the beheadings??" argument. we as a society have next to no more…
I kind of wish people would stop doing school shootings.
Are we really going to stop calling unintelligent things unintelligent because it might suggest that unintelligent people are unintelligent?
Genuine question: Is it appropriation if non-religious Indians wear bindis for fashion reasons?
These WOC in the "non-Western world" need all the luck in the world because they're fighting against reality that they don't want to acknowledge. As Morocco is an Islamic country, I guess these women (and you) haven't read 4:34, 2:282, 4:3, 65:4 or 24:31 of the Koran. Unfortunately, Islamic law is unequivocal in the…
Christina Hendricks' husband is my mom's sister's husband's cousin's son. So, we're basically related. (Not that I've ever actually met her, but maybe someday! My aunt and uncle say she's incredibly sweet and charming in person, as one would expect.)
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.
Oh, so you're saying that only black athletes are cheating, have to cheat, come to school totally illiterate and undereducated, are uneducated, are dishonest, have no sense of integrity, and are essentially just bodies to be put to work? I'm black and I'm getting a huge sense of racism off of your comment. Please stop…
