GRRR I hate the background rapes at Craster's Keep. I wonder how they're written into the script:

The BBC keeps referring to them as "child brides" or "kidnapped for marriage". They keep avoiding the idea that these girls have been sold as sex slaves. I'm honestly sick of the idea that we have to soften this up. These girls have been kidnapped and sold to men for sex and slave work. A bride and groom/bride and…

As someone pointed upthread I wish articles like this would be honest that this is not "marriage" but forced sex slavery. Saying she was married to someone she didn't love doesn't quite convey the horror of being forced into a situation where you'll be sexually and probably emotionally abused under the legitimacy of…

It's not bigotry to say that a lot of men are sexist. It sucks but it's true. A lot of white people are racist- again, not bigotry. Not all men are sexist and not all white people are racist. But pretending everything's equal and just hunky dory is flat out ignorant.

I've lived in a couple of very heavily-Asian-populated parts of CA and the things my Asian friends have heard from white men trying to hit on them... Good God, y'all. Better to sleep alone than be fetishized.

Do they realize that most men - of whatever ethnicity - have archaic, sexist attitudes? Cause they do. Not to defend Asian men, just to say that men in general tend to suck.

I'm frankly just tired of any man thinking he owns any woman.

I know several Asian women who do not like dating Asian men, not because they think of them as emasculated, but because a lot of them have archaic, sexist attitudes.

I want to make an insightful feminist comment, but mostly I am thinking of how Chow Yun-Fat can have a slice of MY pie if he wants some.

This only kinda makes sense if they meant he could choose between being expelled or graduating but not walking (literally not walking, because of a Misery-style punishment).

That might actually be a difficult choice.

As an Iowan who read about this yesterday, I'm glad it and other cases of colleges majorly dropping the ball on sexual assault are getting national traction. These stories matter and they actually affect change; please keep it up.

I'd suggest seppuku, but that requires some degree of honor.

I laughed. He is beautiful, and you stop it right now.

For real. Thank you. This notion of makeup on Jezebel is downright disappointing. I fucking LOVE make up. God didn't bless me with good skin so I do whatever I can to mimics smoothness.

Nailed it! Let's play Bingo.

I always wonder what part of "minimal makeup" men are responding to, though. I am blessed with good skin, so I very rarely wear any face makeup. But I love to play with eyeshadow/liner and go out with gold and black and purple and a liquid cat-eye liner and whatever else I felt like that day on my lids, and when I…

Hear hear, we have this debate monthly and it is so tiresome and predictable. The same exact comments and responses are given each time;

Can we file this one away with the Great Pubic Hair Debate? As in, let's stop talking about it. I know men don't understand my turquoise eyeliner, OK? I've known ever since that survey in Seventeen magazine nearly two decades ago that told me that guys don't "understand" purple nail polish. I'm wearing purple nail…

Made an account just to post this. (http://crappy-candle.tumblr.com/post/841608429…)

Maybe most men do follow the rules, but on average 85% of the violence worldwide is perpetuated by men, with no culture dropping below 80% (and yes, a lot of that is against other men), so naturally women and children are more afraid of men as a group than they are of women. I would assume that most *men* are more…
