I’m struck by how all your examples were exactly what he was talking about.

Wait, I think I get it. Calling yourself trash is how men deal with the fact that they actually like patriarchy and misogyny because it benefits them. So they show shame and that covers up for the fact that they still want dominance. If you say “I’m trash” and do a little performative feminism, you can avoid changing…

I feel sorry for people who need a shame step in order to reform behavior. I feel sorry for people who need an “I am” before they can move to “I do”. I feel sorry for people that need others to take the shame step because they were never taught you can skip it. Shame is a useless emotion and actually a way to avoid…

Had he hit any of the people he shot at, cops and non-cops alike, would those photos horrify you as much as this one? Look at these people scrambling for safety while this asshole blasts away with no regard for the life of anyone around him:

Atheism is hardly an "absolute belief" - as an atheist myself, you can take my word for that. Atheism is merely the position that the position that God exists is a position unsupported by any good evidence. Atheism is a position about the existence of God, it's not a position about certainty.

Agnosticism is a position…

I'm sure one person with 4 followers on Twitter tweeted that he didn't want a black guy as the lead in Star Wars which provides a wonderful opportunity for lazy writers to turn in columns amounting to "A black guy is fine as the lead in Star Wars!" saving them from having to actually come up with something interesting…

There is a precedence to this though. Bill Gates wound up making his fortune when someone noticed his firebreathing act when he used to open gratis for REO Speedwagon, and Warren Buffet got his start working for free as a ring girl in backyard wrestling tournaments that were frequented by Wall Street talent scouts.

I'm going to be extremely cynical for a moment, and this is not a indictment of your general reporting of this subject. But let me get this straight: You got a tip from Gamergate that the people responsible for the most repugnant attacks against Ms Sarkessian were known to them. At a point when drama over this had…

I'd like to get away from the insane sideshow that is Gamergate and talk some about the original intent of The Zoe Post.

Dear every dude saying and about to say "But I don't treat women this way!" Great! Thanks! Problem solved!

I don't really agree with your concept of the budget model here. As a researcher I have to say, even in the United States, this is a lot of money for research. This much money (about $15 million so far) is twice the ALS Association annual research budget of $7.4 mil. That's huge. Their website also says they fund…

I do at that! An astute observation... Was it the spider ants that gave it away? :P

Zenni!

Come on, it's got "best" right in the name. But seriously, the Besta series brings a crazy amount of customization even by IKEA standards, starting simple and affordable and expanding to include everything from floating cabinets to pink accents. [IKEA Besta]

Wow, some random bullshit website that has a blatant agenda.

Once upon a time it was willow bark extract. Now it's acetylsalicylic acid. No one at Bayer is grinding down willow bark to make into aspirin.

Not to always be the Cold Hard Science person, but:

Okay, did anyone at Inquisitr or Jezebel read the actual study? Because the authors themselves don't even claim that thyme oil is more effective than ibuprofen. They say that "Reduction of pain severity was not statistically significant between the two medications, however it was significant for each drug compared…

I would get the Jamiroquai CD. It's mine.
