By the time I was 6, I had two little sisters. We went on our first family vacation that year, and (now that I know what kind of hell it is to share a hotel room with children) my parents weren't exactly relaxing. By the end of the trip, their plan was to load up the car while we were all still asleep (when you're…

But unfortunately, the race of the protesters isn't different. The media, and people in general, are conditioned to remember the outliers: the incidences of looting, the gunfire, the provocation. Sharpton was right, in the inescapable sense that Brown's death has been co-opted by multiple groups, not all of whom…

Yeah, you're right. She should spend more time trying to make people's genitals happy. Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" is the only kind of feminism, amirite? The kind with no "male gaze"? (LOL... Still can't get over how stupid Kara Brown's article on that was... Lord.)

Go #feminism? I guess this is what a female performer "taking control of her sexuality" looks like...

I grew up as a solidly middle class white girl in a suburban city in Northern California. I went to a private school. Not elite, but parochial - our education included Chick Tracts as required reading in science class. I had to take a Human Evolutionary Biology class in college to even understand what the theory of…

I'm so confused. Why is this brilliant? Look at some of the comments here, "I made it my goal to learn to twerk by the end of the summer!" and "I tried to pose like that and hurt my hip! LOL!" Isn't that kind of what Taylor Swift was doing? Trying to dance like that and making fun of the fact she looks like a total…

Your attacks are out of control. No person - trans or otherwise - is required to pass your test. Janedough1984 has a response to the way trans women are being portrayed. Just because you disagree with her, it doesn't make her a bigot or deserving of death.

Look yo, like this movie or hate this movie, whatever. But can we please stop acting like having money makes you immune to boredom or loneliness or any other type of problems? It's not true, and it's harmful.

Probably because if the trend that exists in literally other society with immigrants holds true in Sweden, there probably are a disproportionate number of immigrants involved in crime. Because immigrants are more likely to be poor, more likely to not have access to the conventional job market and are more likely to…

If a person's success in life can be measured by how many people they helped to keep going no matter what by bringing laughter to their hearts and reminding them of the sheer joy of living, then I have to say: hands down, Mr. Robin Williams, you won. Thank you for all the times you touched my heart and made me keep…

The most significant and noticeable changes to the model's appearance in this video (contributing to the "unrealistic view of beauty") occur before the image is even taken into Photoshop.

Did we learn nothing from history about the dangers or Photoshop gone amock?

I'll be a stick in the mud now: I went to Salem and all the stupid "whimsy witch" stores annoyed the hell out of me. The women and men who were killed in that town were not witches. They were innocent people victims of superstition, Puritanism, and ignorance. Even if they were - religious freedom and all that. But…

So Katy went to a witchcraft store AND ate Munchkins? Sure hope nobody drops a house on her.

I role my eyes whenever I read comments like this. Successful "acting" as we classically know it doesn't really happen, at all, in the movies. If you want to watch REAL acting go to the theater. Movies are about alchemy; a blend of direction, actor input, decent writing, etc. But, first and foremost for a film actor…

Oh this thread starts with all my favorite Jezzie buzzwords and cliches:

Definitely noted the texture of her side braid, but I'm personally not offended.* Plus, textured hair is dope. Also, we don't own watermelons, and she is, after all, a white girl eating a watermelon, which is not culturally charged.

it needs to stop

That's funny, my boyfriend is in Africa too. He says as soon as a wire him $10,000, he will come visit me so that we can be married and be together forever. He is a prince where he is from, and needs the money to end a legal dispute so that he can retrieve his full inheritance. I cannot wait!

Yeah, how dare they have opinions about anything other than fashion and makeup, amirite? They have no business educating themselves (or the public) about important issues and should just stick to being the human mannequins that they are so you can ridicule them for their appearance at your leisure.
