YES, EXACTLY. Except, I think I also feel a tiny bit of rage. Because of the injustice of his handsomeness. Like, he's keeping to much of it for himself!

I really like Bob's Burgers. I think it's a funny show and it often surprises me and I enjoy watching it. Now tell me why that show is irredeemable and why my taste in TV shows sucks, because it isn't Breaking Bad, Mr. 'Eleatist'.

I think it makes sense that they abandoned Esmerelda as the principle arc of the story, since they couldn't have focused on her story without actually being horribly racist, which the original book was.

Disney has cleaned up plenty of gnarly and gruesome fairy tales before! Like the Little Mermaid (who basically dies in the original), the Hunchback of Notre Dame (who turns out to be the REAL gypsy instead of Esmerelda and is deaf and also dies in the original), Hercules (who kills everyone he loves and then dies),…

So what are Egyptian women supposed to do? Just wear burkas and stay indoors until all the rapists magically self-destruct? Instead of telling women to accept that they're going to get raped if they go out (or abroad) to get shit done, men should accept that they can't rape people and hold them accountable when they…

I would not recommend this. I've had this done to me too, and I still, many years later, don't know what I did to upset my ex-friend. I would have rather known what I did, so I could learn from that mistake (if I even made one! I don't know!), even if it still meant the friendship was over.

Tightening my legs together is a necessary part for me too! For me at least, using certain muscle movements is really important, particularly those groin muscles that tighten the legs together, and also those lower abdomen pelvic-thrust ones. Basically, CLENCHING.

Because minorities are negatively affected by structural racism in a way that whites aren't, not even underprivileged whites (which I agree are worthy of extra consideration, and I think first generation applicants often are given bonus points too). Poor blacks are affected by structural racism in addition to…

"the decay of this country from its noble idea of an enlightened populace into a sea of sniveling children"

YES, there IS something about race that determines a person's chances of success, and that is STRUCTURAL RACISM. It's what makes young black men so much more likely to get pinned for small crimes like weed possession and thus have criminal records, and why a job applicant named "Amy Whitehaven" is more likely to get…

But what if admitting students based only on quantifiable measurements like SATs scores and GPAs discriminated against minority applicants?

"The fact on the ground is that she did not get in because she was white."

Oh, right! I wasn't thinking. I don't mind a little trailer commentary, haha.

Oh Man! Even though I totally agree with you, I would've moved too. I can't stand when people talk in movie theaters!

The commenter stoprobbers (in another thread) made the point that instead of boycotting all companies that manufacture abroad, we should find out which companies have signed the safety accord mentioned in the article (like H&M, etc.) and just shop there. If customers choose to shop at free trade companies instead of…

This article is talking about rape jokes, and their objection to rape jokes goes beyond taste, comfort, or enjoyment. It's not that the author just doesn't like them, or thinks they're 'beyond their comfort zone'. Rather, they think rape jokes are actively harmful. I agree, and I think this issue is about more than…

Oh, that would actually change how ridiculous that seemed to me. Maybe I just don't like to watch the characters have sex with each other? I always get cringy when there's a sex scene!

I feel the same way, and it's hard to pin down why. Sometimes it seems forced, like they just jammed a sex scene into the plot somewhere, and then other times it just seems uncomfortable! Like last episode—standing butt naked in that frigid drippy cave is a terrible place to have someone go down on you!

I agree, I actually meant more to ask why the daughter might have been disturbed when she read Anne Frank talking about private parts. To me, the most obvious answer would be that children in general have a sense that you're not supposed to talk about private parts that openly. And, of course, children don't only…

Wax-tadpole's concern here reminds me of something I've been thinking about for a while, whenever an MRA discussion comes up, regarding the way we, as feminists, argue with others.
