What a remarkable coincidence it is that R Kelly’s very, very specific type is compromised exclusively of black women 30+ years his junior who are estranged from dishonest, mercenary parents!

I guess my question is always if money is the only motive why does this not happen more often to more men. And why does it seem that only certain men have multiple accusers who can describe in detail what happened to them.

But is there any cross over, legally, between being legally able to consent and being legally an adult? The age of consent in some states is 16 but a 16 year old doesn’t have the same right to vote/gamble as a “full”adult. If we’re saying children have the right/ability to consent then let’s lower the legal age of…

“I just look at legal”

Oof. You want something that you love more than it loves you? Get a cat. (Not you you, the royal you of which you speak.)

YES! Nineteen year old me believed it, married it, and definitely lived to regret it.

I know! I think that’s why I was always a Brandon girl. Luke Perry was gorgeous, but my lord Dylan (and all of the beautiful tormented types) just seemed exhausting!

Another reason for the high death rate is that women are bleeding to death after giving birth. California has reversed that trend by simply requiring the pads the women are laid on to be weighed when changed. Over a certain weight, and intervention for hemorrhage is started. I know it sounds crazy and too simple to be…

Yep. I wish I could sit every straight teen girl down and say, “you know what’s hotter than a dude you need to ‘fix?’ A dude that has his shit together and acts like a goddamn adult.”

I don’t think that should count as “unnecessary”. Maybe it would be better to talk about “not medically advised”. You’re right, just because something is technically not absolutely necessary (you would have both survived) doesn’t mean it’s not medically the best choice. And on top of that, a c-section and recovery is…

I was literally talking about this stereotype the other day and how dangerous it is because we’re (young girls) brought up to desire these type of men, so we date them and marry them in real life and the cycle you so eloquently described (stay with them and work harder to fix them thus putting up with abuse and losing…

A new law signed late last year aims to help states investigate the causes of high rates of maternal mortality in this country—

Could these stats also be due to women not receiving adequate recuperation time in the hospital or follow-up care after the surgery? I have great insurance and was still only allocated three days following my c-section. 

How providers intersect with insurance companies and deal with litigation is why.

She is not getting criticized *by US Jews* for saying mean things about Bibi or the two-state solution - she is getting criticizes *by US Jews* for implying that support for Israel is paid for by Jews, and supporting Israel is allegiance to a foreign power and against US interests. And that should be the only…

I don’t think that Omar is an anti-semite, and I don’t think the intent was in her words. But good god, doesn’t she have someone to advise her on how not to phrase things? A good amount of her criticism is definitely in bad faith (Steve King of the left? seriously?) but it is disappointing to see her commit one…

I think the accusations of racism and antisemitism have definitely been exaggerated. However I do think there is a kernel of truth in the claims of anti-semitism. We tend to find solace in the fact that the right is more racist, sexist, homophobic and generally more bigoted than the left, and for the most part that’s…

I’d take a crying baby over a clot of drunk aging salesbros any day myself.  They always think they are so funny and they are always so loud. 

Hey Lauren, I just want to chime in along with everyone else and let you know this is a really shitty post. Like, colossally shitty. I don’t even have any snark for you. Clinton won the popular vote, she was profoundly qualified, and she got shat on for being a woman who knows how to get shit done in a world dominated…

What a hot take. Groundbreaking, truly.
