my reading of the ad is that the topless gals are the donees, paid by donation so that they don't run afoul of craigslist's "adult services" ban

do you think we could still get jesse williams to put on a little golden fish net?

"News flash: not all women who disavow feminism are just ignorant, giggly, man-loving girrrrls that they haven't seen the light yet."

the really obscene part about being sucked into a "legitimate rape debate" with the neanderthal right is that, in doing so, we tacitly accept the hierarchization of choice, under which women who are forced (legitimately or otherwise) to have sex can grudgingly have access to abortions, but sluts who have sex willingly…

whiny wingnut:

i see ... ryan is to be lauded for expressing his "honest" opinions of morello's music, but morello and other artists are "douchebags" for expressing theirs ... if you say so, but it's not very logical

given that “the nightwatchman” has been a high profile figure at occupy protests around the country, either ryan doesn't follow the news or he has really shitty political instincts

it's all about the pussy with the mohawk

i just keep thinking of the lyrics from uncle bonsai: "if i had a penis ... i'd stroll to the movies with hands deep in pockets"

"hair styles, jewelry, and tattoos" may be "a lot smaller than a hijab", but THEY ARE NOT PROTECTED BY THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT ... the hijab is

idris elba is one of those men who could be wearing a clown suit and i'd still be all "damn, he's fine" ... other male actors must hate to share the screen with him

turtle island's smoky maple bacon tempeh keeps me in check ... but just barely

wait for it ... wait for it ... a republican senator will be introducing a bill that denies poor people and felons access to social networks, lest the "job creators" be so upset by their childrens' you-can't-foursquare snit fits that they won't be able to finally, maybe get around to creating a job that isn't in india

most days, being a misogyny-aware woman is kinda harsh, but sometimes i get reminded how awesome we liberated types really are, and it feels pretty damned good

if you are the only employee singled out to wear one, it does look/feel ridiculous ... and it looks no more "period-appropriate" than a hijab ... and all the while, non-hijab wearing women with non-period hair styles go on their merry christian-centric way, even though hijabs, not non-religious hairstyles, are…

oh, yessss ... giant vats of organic baby spinach ... organic coffee ... fresh, organic ravioli ... organic cheeses ... organic, grass fed beef for the flesh eaters ... all at non-organic prices! i even get all-natural, grain-free, american-sourced kibble for my pup at the cost of pet-store crap food

fyi, according to boudlal's suit, her fellow employees were allowed to wear their ashes on ash wednesday ... as they should have been, given that such religious accommodation does not really harm an already period-compromised disney environment

as someone who did some binge eating after a childhood of food deprivation, i broke the cycle by reminding myself that "that box of poptarts is not the last box of poptarts on the planet" ... they will always be there should i really need them ... and i would actually throw out half my plate of food at meals,…

from the first earthworm a boy consumes to gross out the girls on the grade-school playground, extreme eating does seem to a normative, male-bonding experience in this country ... but in the face of all the knowledge that we have acquired about how unhealthful it is — you know, it leads to lard-clogged arteries and…
