No, she’s not. She advocates for comprehensive sexual education and other things that are actually at odds with the LDS church.

Yeah, but given the kidnapping reference it’s a pretty shitty/unfunny joke to make about Elizabeth Smart becoming a mother.

The timeline is very strange, and I feel like her rationalization for not running away was always just that, “she just couldn’t”. I think the worst part— or rather the part that made me go.. “Huh?” Was when they were at a party and people SAW her— like saw her face! She was in public and it was only when she got…

Gah I am really happy for her. I recommend her Fresh Air interview. I do not recommend her book, as it'll lead you down a dark hole of questions and theories on her kidnapping. And yes, I mean the one she wrote. She's a good lady, and I have no doubt she will be an amazing mother.

It is really insensitive and rude to be making this kind of joke in the article about woman who gone through hell, kidnapped, prisoned and then molested for almost a year. And please can we have one just one article about horrible tragedies, raping and killing happening to women without rude sarcastic jokes and gifs…

I’m sure this really happened.

There was a woman who commented on the Facebook post and she was sitting DIRECTLY next to the guy. She said he was rude as hell but didn’t call her out as Muslim and didn’t say that she would use the can as a weapon. She said he told her to STFU and that she was being ridiculous (which is rude as hell, btw), but…

You could hurl it at someone. You could shake it up and open it in someone’s eyes. You could beat someone with it. Come on, it’s like you’re not even trying.

I’m on board with this. With every coach customer crammed into 17.2” wide seats, ain’t nobody getting a full can of soda. You get the full can of beer because you pay $8 for it.

Maybe the beer guy (and a lot of the passengers who didn’t speak up) didn’t notice what happened. How many people on planes are paying close attention to other people’s drink orders and conversations? I bet at least 90% of the people on that flight were wearing headphones while this went down.

Was this in first class or or coach? Generally you pay for beer when sitting in the back and you expect and should get the whole can. The weapons excuse was not the truth, was stupid, and may have simply been a severe F-Up rather than outright bigotry. (Not necessarily racism, Muslim is not a race). I’ve had flight…

Muslims cause problems wherever they go - even small slights (of which we all suffer all the time) become reasons to bemoan the world and remind us how we all treat Muslims poorly. Fuck her and her religious privilege - even Buddhists - those who will walk around an ant to keep from killing it, have been so provoked…

Is it just me that wonders if it is a coincidence that it was two Latino men? Seems like a pretext to me...

Great. Another way for the police to selectively arrest minorities.

Yeah, wearing trousers is totally slutty.

When you spit on an 8 year old girl because of your views, yes it is. =/

I’m going to have some really devastating jokes to contribute once I get finished reading this post through a hole in a sheet.

a large percentage of the ultra-Orthodox population in Israel do not work and do not join the army

A sad, but maybe needed reminder that fanatics of every creed try to oppress and silence women, not just the Christians or Muslims we hear about more often.

How is the second part of the response stupid? I find Bronson's music to be childish and misogynistic, so I don't listen. If I was attending a festival, I'd see someone else's set while he was performing. I'd do that because I'm a sensible person. What's the alternative? Censorship?
