I kind of love that you broke this down stylistically.

Of course, denying gay people the right to get married in a game about relationships and marriage is itself "social commentary."
Yah for "Embarrassing Bodies" - that show is the dog's gonads for taking all these "shameful" illnesses and breaking down the stigma attached. And the fact that their website** has a whole section dedicated to teenagers and their "embarrassing bodies" makes me love them even more :)
"Emma Stone Says Let's Quit Judging Our Bodies"
When your entire argument rests on the fact that people should not be allowed to do something because that thing makes you uncomfortable, you don't have a whole lot of room to accuse anyone else of being unable to divorce emotion from the discussion, cupcake.
If you think not being forced to watch videos that you don't want to watch is a "libertarian stance," you are seriously confused about libertarianism. Hint: "I don't want to watch something, so it shouldn't be allowed to exist" is not a libertarian position.
I posted this on the Gawker article too but I think what she did was so important I'll post it again... I wish so much I had been able to see a video like this before my abortion more than a decade ago. I was sure sure it was the right decision. I struggled with it more than she did, leading up to it, but I did a lot…
How is this ghastly? What within this video makes you sick? The footage they show on the news of mangled cars and dead protesters in other countries makes me ill. And that's on TV for everyone to see. You and I can choose to watch this video. When the anti-abortion advocates show up at my college, they have posters of…
The "pro-choice, but..." crowd makes me want to scream sometimes. If you're genuinely pro-choice, let others do with their lives as the want/need to do and go on with your own.
An almost equal problem to the right-winger position, as pointed out by the Gawker comments, is that people claim to be "pro-choice but..." who also want to restrict the rights of others while claiming to be progressive. These people want women to be punished for their promiscuity almost as much as their right wing…
I was 17 when I had mine and I remembered wishing I had done this afterward because, as Letts mentions, I was young and terrified and had all these minconceptions and then the thing turned out to take 60 secs and was totally painless. I have openly told virtually everyone who will listen about it so they know what the…
I usually don't like youtube comments being disabled, but in this case I'm so, so glad they are. 4,000+ dislikes. If gawkers bad I can't even imagine what the youtube comments would have been like.
It's a disheartening amount of "I am pro-choice, but abortion is bad and sluts should feel bad for having abortions because sluts. But yeah, I'm totally pro-choice."
Let me just whip these out ahead of the troll deluge:
Her video is amazing, inspiring and courageous. To put herself out there, even when she knew conservatives would go completely insane over it. I think she is going to help so many people with this video. You go girl!
It doesn't mean you can't reasonably defend yourself if someone grabs your breast so hard it leaves a hand shaped bruise
So are you saying based on this photo that the officer was hit after she was being detained? This photo does not prove anything other than people, including her, were being arrested.
How do you know she was being arrested when she swung at him? Because of the word of the cop who couldn't remember which eye he got hit in?
For all we know the events were: she got grabbed from behind, she swung an elbow out of instinct to fend off WHOEVER (cop, other protester, perv). She was then arrested.
Not saying the boob grab was or was not on purpose, but if you're going to grab someone from behind on any part of their body you'd better expect to get hit. That's like sneaking up on someone in a dark house.
