yeah! Fuck people's right to privacy!

Eliminating victim blaming takes away the rapist's most powerful excuse. I think it's a worthwhile effort.

I think the bystander effect and cultural apathy towards sexual assault can actually create rapists and allow rapes to occur which otherwise would not.

There's no way that they're as bad as they were when I was a kid. Back then, they were just a place for junkies to shoot up.

Sam, these images just float around in your head waiting for a story to match the visual, right?

I get this, although this is probably one of those narratives that's more about understanding a different perspective on the norm rather than gaining sympathy. But there's another side to it too. My own experience is that people can express those things (openly or passive aggressively) and still be capable of good…

The problem is, by saying you only feel sympathy for their children and not for these women stuck doing something they regretted, you're ensuring that women will continue to feel ashamed for having these feelings and they won't speak about this frankly to people close to them or anyone else, and will keep these…

Nope. Calling BS on you. Having been 9 months pregnant twice I can attest that running down a mugger and fighting him off when you're that effing uncomfortable is the victory. She deserves the headlines. AND it's likely that event triggered her contractions.

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to get these kinds of messages, ladies. Sometimes you have to wait months or even years to find out you've been dating an asshole, but these guys just let you know right away. It's practically a public service!

Corollary to this: a lot of the people that say "my parents beat me and I turned out great" are not such wonderful poster children for that theory as they seem to imagine.

Shit, I don't beat my kids but I need all the advice I can get. Please do tell me how to raise my kids because the little fuckers didn't come with a user's manual.

Its a childish response from people who shouldn't have children.

I find it a bit odd as well, but stranger things happen, I suppose.

I think that Mindy has a good point. I watch the show and love her - but her show doesn't really cover any serious medical issues. It's not like they've talked about STDs when 1/2 sexually active young adults gets one. I know that it's disappointing that we skirt around the issue of abortion on television, but I don't…

Martha gives the best white throw-down ever. Eat these muffins, Gwynnie dear.

It was probably made by that blind sculptor lady.

There was a food show where she was being interviewed over lunch. She loved the food. She basically just quit talking to the interviewer and chowed down. She truly DNGAF.

Hahaha! That's one of my favorite Conan moments ever!
