Based on the anecdotal evidence which I’ve observed just now, but which I’m certain must hold universally true, Twitter is simply too cruel and too violent for men.

So based on his reaction, I’m going to assume that men can’t handle being criticized for the stupid shit that they write and overreact in ways that include comparing said criticism to fascist dictatorships and various forms of brutality towards various animals.

If anyone’s curious why Mr. Wells starts off his statement with “Every time this happens,” well, let’s just say he has a long and sordid history of this kind of behavior. Specifically, he was the guy that made so much noise over Jennifer Lawrence being “too big” for The Hunger Games, and said that readers should…

And what if you’d heard a fellow female journalist, sitting two seats away, call it “brutal“?

Wait. He tells women to toughen up but turns into a yellow bellied coward when the twitterverse brings down the the hammer?!

My period every month is an unflinchingly brutal, you-are-there, raw-element immersion like something you’ve never seen. The Revenant will be child’s play, sir.

Why is, “I didn’t mean every woman and it was wrong of me to phrase it as though it meant that. Sorry. Thx for keeping me in check.” so hard?

It’s so stressful alternating between being helpless and terrfied to a literal beast who disembowels men. SIGH!

I love when people whine about “PC.”

That is precisely the image I was thinking of when posting that... :)

Because it’s so inconceivable that a French person would express distaste for a mosque?

Thank you for the well-articulated, nuanced view of modern Paris. I studied abroad there last year and lived on the edge of the 14eme arrondissement, wedged in between a couple of Vietnamese restaurants and a kebab shop. I loved that my neighborhood reflected the true demographic makeup of the city (and that I had an…

It’s easy to romanticize a place when you don’t live there and think it’s one way when something else in reality. People do that a lot with Paris.

This whole trend of teens joining ISIS makes me appreciate my hardcore atheist child all the more. He can make Richard Dawkins seem apologetic at family dinners but at least I never have to worry he’ll be the next Jihadi John.

Last time I checked 17 and 18 were still numbers in their teens and the word teenagers had no gender.

Victims of being brainwashed. Teenagers are vulnerable and easily susceptible to deceit.

This is really sad. I hope they are able to confirm either way for the sake of their families getting some closure. And before the asshole pile on starts, please everyone remember that teenagers are still SUPER IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN. They might like to think they know everything and make great choices, but, they…

I assume that jury deliberations are seriously playground bully driven...and it’s awful to think that people are seriously impacted because people ‘just want to get home’.

Yes, but it’s directly related to actual Nazi emblems. Which is just enough to give a visceral jolt of fear at initial sight before we have time to think it through. I’m thankful I’m not in NYC, because I experience that visceral jolt every time I see the Nazi-based designs in online advertising. The ads were all over…
