Started a conversation? Started? Yeah, Matt, you’re a real pioneer. Nobody was talking about diversity in the film industry until you mentioned it.

More importantly, he has the opportunity to communicate to those kids in his own words. If they disagree with him after hearing him speak, at least you can give them credit for having at least partially informed opinions, however wrong, as opposed to those formed by the outright lies about him that they’re probably…

A friend was raised in an extremely restricted, extremely religious family. One evening over a drink he movingly told the story of a comparative religion course that he took in college (the state university, BTW) where he had an ‘awakening’ of sorts. He saw clearly, for the first time, that while mythology can be a…

These idiots wouldn’t know Christ’s teachings if they banged them all night long.

CA Governor Jerry Brown was also trying to reach out to those that disagree with him (and smack them for their willful ignorance):

Yes, this is where I got all my 70’s stuff in the 90’s from “thrift stores” or “second hand stores”, not “vintage” shops!

Hell yes its ok to shame her. Bing cheap is fine, stealing shit is not. Stealing from a god damn library is really really far from ok.

It’s so upsetting that childhood sexual abuse seems to put a flashing neon sign over the victims that only predators can see. I know so many people (men and women) who survived childhood abuse only to suffer sexual or domestic violence later in life. So fucking unfair.

Funny you should mention ... I saw this on Gavin Newsom’s Instagram this morning.

I hate this crap so much. Girls, we are going to constantly bombard you with messages about how important it is to be beautiful! Every movie, TV, and book character that you might want to be like is going to be beautiful. Every ugly female character you might see will be a hated loser whose life you wouldn’t touch…

Attractiveness is not objective. People rate these women “attractive” because they adhere to a heteronormative ideal of femininity. It’s not the other way around, wherein innate attractiveness somehow causes innate heterosexuality, which is what people will assume when they speed-read these scientific studies. They…

Like most of my family stories, this one is fucked up. My father died pretty young, after spending about half my life avoiding me because I look and sound too much like my mother, his ex-wife but spent time with my brother. His brothers, my uncles, don’t know me because my hag grandmother declared my brother and I…

From the linked article, RE: Lunchables:

Which is why when I hear people criticizing mothers for choosing “medicalized” births over “natural” ones “because women have been doing it for thousands of years” I reflexively respond “...and it killed many of them.” And no, making people wash their hands before helping deliver a child did not magically change that,

“He described sex with minors, including underage prostitutes between the ages of 9 and 16” Um, no. He described raping child sex slaves. No nine year old is a prostitute and no nine year old “has sex” with an adult. Ever. That’s slavery and rape. I know. I too was a nine year old sex slave.

Ban all guns. Make them illegal to posses. Getting caught with one is an automatic jail sentence. This nonsense has gone on for too long. This amendment was authored by people who were okay with slavery. It does not, and should not, translate to 2015 America

Cite, please, that men get their scripts for buddy comedies rejected by reviewers who recommend changing it to porn with an aside objectifying their male characters. Because otherwise, you’re just saying that men get their scripts rejected...and women don’t? See this post, by someone I’m guessing knows a lot more…

“I guess this is funny, for a movie about women. But how can a guy be into it? Hey, it should be porn! Why else would you have four “sounds hot on paper” women in a movie together? To TALK or something? What do you think you are, human beings?”

Mad respect to this man. “I’ll go get you and the kids and you can stay with me” is sometimes the only thing that women need to hear to take that first step away from a lousy situation. Anna might not take him up on his offer, but at least she knows it’s there. The rest is up to her. Oh, and the “Go to hell you prik”…

They’re probably ashamed that they haven’t brainwashed Daniel enough.
