The problem with what you say is phrases like “the Islamic World” (no such thing) and “the majority believe in political Islam” (demonstrably untrue). The people you talk about—I’ll demur from calling them “liberal westerners”—are not apologizing for anyone. They are advocating for people who have been broad-brushed…

People can call me islamaphobic if they want, but the problem is that the islamic world is far, far right wing and the majority believe in political islam. Islam desperately needs a progressive liberal reformation as advocated by muslims like Irshad Manji and Majid Nawaz. It needs a sexual liberation movement. It…

I’ll address the elephant in the room: men. Male violence. Toxic masculinity.

It’s terrible that the United States has turned a blind eye towards human rights violations when we were supposed to be the stewards.

Please everyone, be calm.

Well, you know, this isn’t suspicious at all.

Hey, North Carolina GOP: if Clarence Thomas thinks you are racist motherfuckers, you are definitely, indubitably, 100 percent racist motherfuckers.

That’s horrible.

WTgoddamnF?!

Saying that certain people should not be protected by the law because they have views you don’t share is a very slippery slope to start on.

OK. Let’s agree that a tabloid violated the law by publishing information regarding the sexual assault of minor children.

But what this story emphasizes is the burden of parenthood that is placed unfairly on women in our culture, not men. Free birth control and access to abortions is something both sexes need to be educated on and needs to be reinforced in young men just as much if not more, but this story and its statistics show that…

My husband and I married last year when we were 55, first marriage for both of us (we’re late bloomers, I guess!). Sure enough, some colleagues and other people asked if we are going to have kids now that we’re married. What... what... what?!?

I’m against the death penalty if only for the reason that we’ve unquestionably executed people who were innocent of the crime for which they were being executed. My secondary and tertiary reasons for being against it pale against that first one.

Yeah, I was raised as a (fairly lax) Methodist, cum devout secularist as an adult, and in no way do I recall Sunday school lessons about how Jesus totally meant for us to create an American caste system, appoint ourselves the arbiters of who lives and who dies, or writing legislation to enforce the will of the few…

I don’t understand what number 2 is about. Should we not be shocked? Everything that’s happened since Trump got the Republican nomination is shocking, if a person ceases to be shocked they start to flirt with acceptance. You can see it in this comment thread, so many people are saying they are so tired, and it’s only…

It’s so frustrating to watch the country slowly claw its way up over the past 1, 2, 10+ years on issues like workers’ rights, legalized pot, overtime pay, equality for all, net neutrality, climate change, privacy protections, then one election where an incompetent fascist plutocrat lost by millions of votes results in…

I do appreciate that she has internalized the quiverfull thought process. However, I do think there has to be a point when an adult is an adult that is making a choice. Thinking about different cults, even if someone is brainwashed into a cult and in a dire financial situation, they still hold a responsibility towards…

Esther Williams’ swimsuits are superb, no matter what size. I have worn them in size 22 and am now in a 12. Same designs looked fantastic on me in both sizes. And I can’t say enough about the quality! I wore Esther Williams’ suits for water aerobics and swimming and they hold up *really* well.

He has said on a number of occasions how he intends to run America, as if it was one of his businesses. And one of those ways is to short-change people that the U.S. owes money to. To Trump debt, obligations, and contracts are something ethereal that he can just ignore when the mood suits him.
