Yes, but one has a legitimate shot to effect change and push the Democratic party to the left, the other is a misguided and ill-fated publicity stunt that engenders animosity and contempt.

Since I grew up in a nice neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and found I was a talented writer in high-school creative writing classes, naturally I was introduced to Bret Easton Ellis, whom I thought was brilliant when I was a lost sixteen year old. Unfortunately, that impacted my writing for…

I remember in high school a girl suggested I might be a lesbian because I was okay with gay people. I thought that was a weak argument and it didn’t bother me.

morals and religion don’t necessarily go together

“Your daughter will reject the religious and moral codes you raised her with,” a press release for the lecture warned. “Your daughter will distance herself from family and friends. Your daughter will change her appearance, and may even change her sexual orientation. Your daughter will end up hating you (her father)…

Your daughter will end up hating you (her father) and pitying you(her mother)

Pro tip: If you ever feel the compulsion to right a long, mansplaining article about why you cheated on your wife (because she was infertile) using only the passive case to describe all of your affairs (these things just keep happening to me!) just don’t do it. Looking at you, Ian MacKenzie.

God forbid a woman make up her own mind about the way the world works after LEARNING something new at a place of higher EDUCATION.

Cheating and cheaters sure makes life “interesting”...

Yeah, I can’t fucking believe the people that are excusing this racist’s behavior because her child was killed after threatening people with a gun. Based on that video it looks like the reporter was across the street from where the incident occurred.

I’m not condoning racism. I’m just saying people grieve in their own way.

Well I mean she’s already worked for Polanski.

It’s been announced that Kate Winslet is starring in his next movie.

THIS. I hate Woody as much as the next person, but the only people who are getting picked on for being in his movies are lady-folk: Kristin Stewart, Cate Blanchett, and now Blake. How ‘bout some vitriol for the dudes still working with this creepy goblin?

“Ingenue inexplicably in love with a much older man” (TM)

He certainly wouldn’t mind having a black woman in his corner too, so maybe Whoopi “It wasn’t rape-rape” Goldberg could weigh in on this issue, too.

First of all, I think she should be ashamed of herself.

“Empowering” lost all meaning for me years ago — in the wake of a prolonged thread on Jez about the feminist power of Spanx.
