So you think it's okay to let the loudest voice speak for the whole? Do you not see the logic flaw with your thinking?

Sound just like a comment a smug, self-righteous yankee elitist asshole right? See, stereotypes are fun!

Okay, I might be wrong because I don't read xoJane religiously but I thought there was one attempt made to write about Amanda Bynes, then everyone freaked out, then the author apologized then offered to take the post down and that was that. That's a bit different from Jez turning her into a daily cashcow of pageview.…

Hey, I'm totally not trying to defend xoJane here. You're exactly right. Letting Cat spiral just for pageviews and concern trolling is gross. Also, the article title was misleading and skeezy. However, I find it highly problematic that Jezebel is playing the role of some morally superior internet judge of what is okay…

I'm not trying to defend xoJane's article title because it definitely is skeezy and wrong and I would be totally there with you if Jezebel hadn't posted pictures showing a woman's face as she was being raped. I don't want to link to it but it was during the Libya uprising in February 2012. It was horrifying.

I find it rich that Jezebel is condemning another blog for sensationalist, clickbait material. Sure, maybe you don't have misleading article titles but I haven't seen xoJane publish actual photos of a rape victim mid-assault lately. Oh, or post a rape victim's name after her family expressly wished it wouldn't become…

I don't know if I've just built up a resistance or if my urinary tract just super hates me but the only antibiotic that will quickly and thoroughly clear up UTI's for me is Cipro. I get them pretty chronically so I've tried a number of different antibiotics and Cipro has been the best. So far I've been super lucky and…

It's not important enough to be a dealbreaker or even request my partner to stop shaving but I do enjoy a bit of hair on a man. My current manpanion is furry all over but keeps it trimmed just to the point where it's still soft but it hasn't yet started to curl and I'm quite a fan.

This argument is so tiresome. There is a difference between believing something is wrong and then abstaining from it and believing something is wrong and forcefully shoving it down the throats of everyone around you.

Ugh, what is wrong with me? I just yesterday tried to convince a group of women that Serena van der Woodsen wasn't so bad on the show because she was so preeeetyy and vulnerable and whatever. And now I'm practically swooning over this video! There's just something so adorable about her. Is this how Anna Wintour feels?

I literally am watching this episode of Freaks and Geeks now! His facial expressions are perfection. So much angst.

Ohhhh God, I can't anymore with all these comments from people who haven't been to a dairy farm in their lives. Listen, I have a degree in this. I also come from a family of dairy farmers. I'm not some idiot rambling about the dangers of raw milk because I saw a CNN special one time. I know about the technology. It…

Well I know in my lab we use a serum replacement media for cells we can manage to get off FBS but can't completely wean off the need for serum but its mainly for cells that are still on feeder layers. We do have a line of induced pluripotent stem cells that we've gotten off any kind of coating substrate and also…

It's such a Catch-22 though. These industry labs use their gene patents to fund more research. I work in a similar field in academia and everything on this side of research takes so long while industry research seems to be booming and a large part of that is all the funding they have that comes from profiting off of…

Yeah, as far as celebrity engagement rings go this one is really tasteful. I think you're right about the lighting too but even if you aren't I really like the idea of a different colored diamond.

You can't even get stem cell therapies to clinical trial if the cells are still cultured in fetal bovine serum. Eventually these cells will have to be weaned off of FBS and some of the extra cytokines added to promote growth if it would be for human consumption anyway. The media will be significantly less expensive…

It is highly, highly unlikely that we will see this as an option in our lifetimes. Ten years ago meat from clones was going to be our salvation. Now, you have like a 1% chance of ever trying to get federal funding for cloning research because its just so damn costly. Culturing and expanding progenitor (more…

Actually, it probably isn't far off. I work with stem cells and you would be amazed at how much some of the growth factors needed to grow out these cultures cost. Everything is so expensive! These cells only double their populations about every 3 weeks so making enough cells to create an actual burger had to have…

Well, if in some world I was named the queen of milk regulation I would ban the sale of raw milk across the board. However, there could be a compromise type situation. If we could keep raw milk out of grocery stores and farmer's markets and keep the system that way it is now with consumers going straight through the…
