Oh sure, with some cats you can. I tickle and pester and poke all four of mine with my hand all the time. I'll grab their back feet as they kick and go "HA HA, GOTCHA NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?" and so on.

I wait until they release movies of a book (HINT VAMPIRE ACADEMY) and then download all the series on my kindle when they inevitably put the books on sale the month before the movie comes out (Vampire Academy, Beautiful Creatures, etc.) and then binge read. I also did this with True Blood (there seems to be a theme…

I think the problem here is that Zoos are always going to see their animals are business investments and a lot of people aren't comfortable with that, because these "investments" are also living things. They couldn't breed this Giraffe and from the zoos point of view he was essentially a waste of money to keep alive.…

Since you asked so nice and all ....

That's because you have a soul.

You don't understand fat acceptance. Fat acceptance is about accepting that people are valuable despite the state of their body at any given point in life. It's not accepting that their body is somehow healthy despite any ongoing problems. It's not about accepting that fat = healthy, or that fat should be a new…

Also, yo-yo dieting is worse than just being fat and a lot of body positive stress the importance of a healthy lifestyle, they just divorce health from skinny, because that's not always true. Just wanted to point that out.

I think the unification with Humanist and Egalitarian groups instead of dividing into just about women would be far more helpful to the cause and shut anyone up who believes women are just trying to win a power struggle and neuter men.

I know you thought that was terribly clever, but in your mad rush to be witty, you missed the point entirely. Nothing about the post you responded to relies on any "preconceived gender biases" but is, in fact, a direct response to behavior that is actually taking place upthread.

Hurr hurr hurr! I'm a guy so I know what women's life experiences are because I know fucking everything. Mo mommy and all my teachers told me so, that's why women women tell me how they are treated, I correct them. Because I are a man and that makes me smartzz! Hurr hurr hurr.

Oh wow. The plot twist at the end.

I've never understood how privileged people (white men seem particularly prone to this) can't accept that THEY DON'T GET TO CHOOSE WHAT'S OFFENSIVE TO THE OFFENDED PARTY!! Just because you didn't mean to be offensive doesn't mean you weren't offensive.

He has PLENTY of respect for women, you guys. Like, take the appropriate amount, and then he has MORE.

Is energydrinks the same person who posted on Groupthink that she now has no cellulite or stretch marks? FFS this person has forgotten where they have come in their journey to become a skinny bitch and is making other skinny bitches look bad.

I'm Hispanic and light-skinned but when I was in the 6th grade, I got to play Harriet Tubman and I fucking killed it. My mom helped me to make the costume and ran lines with me. At one point in the monologue, I fell asleep because I read somewhere that she had narcolepsy from an injury as a child. She would fall…

Holy fuck. Did you seriously just throw out an eating disorder snark.

So now you are agreeing with the article while insulting the author for having done something that happened only in your imagination, and that's why it's ok for you to make a "joke" at the expense of trans people, Jenner, other Jenner, and strong women. Nope. It's not a joke if you meant it and you meant it. Stop.

I love how you think I disagree with you when the entire damn article was basically me saying the same damn thing you just did.
