I dunno, isn't it a sign of legitimacy that we ask both brown Mindy Kaling and white Lena Dunham to write comedy that better reflects our lives — one where we make out and hang out with not just white people? I'm not saying its kumbaya post racial land in our actual lives, but young educated people are really mixed up…

The argument being passed along here is that having racial sexual preferences is actually racist since those came from what you were raised to see as good looking, and stuff like this reenforces that.

The question here isn't about whether or not Mindy Kaling is allowed to have a type, it's about whether Mindy Kaling - as a woman of color in an extremely powerful position right now as an entertainer and as a woman of color for whom questions about her attractiveness due to her age/weight/color are a consistent…

I agree. I think this is absolutely a great argument for gun control for the very reason that it isn't really a mass shooting. And I can tell you that although no people died of it, we've had four homicides in New Orleans so for this month, so in terms of overall deaths/violence caused.

I worry that the reason it's being treated so lightly is that these people are black. The cops sound so dismissive! Personally I think "street violence" is a form of terrorism..just domestic. It's still terror and mass casualty. If this had happened in an upscale area with more well to do people, there would be a huge…

And now I want oreos. Success?

Can you suggest girls' nights? That's what my friends and I do...most of us are coupled off with guys, but every few months we get together without partners to talk about whatever and catch up.

Got to assume there are a great many women out there who'd recommend you take your disgusting paunch elsewhere and literally fuck yourself.

Thanks! It's just my reading of Nick, though, based on the few clues Fitzgerald gives us. I do love The Great Gatsby, but it strikes me as an odd book in that it has really clear themes and symbolism wrapped around some very enigmatic, vague characters. Obviously in the case of Jay Gatz that's the whole point, but I…

I'm a fat guy. Probably 50 pounds more than I should have (it was 90 pounds more so I'm moving in the right direction). I don't celebrate my obesity but I make a point to dress nice and carry myself with an air of confidence. I'm not sure if it's my hot wife or my confidence and clothes but I still get plenty of…

Like a lot of the characters in the book, Nick is hard to really get a definitive read on, which isn't always a detriment in a narrator - sometimes you just want someone to guide you through the story and not be too distracting in themselves. It is a lot more of a problem in a movie protagonist.

P.S. You think a woman's perception of tightness or looseness has no bearing on the conversation, only yours? Her comfort, her pleasure, are unimportant? Really? Who are you having sex with? I can't imagine anyone would willingly have sex with you, considering that you seem to view women as community commodities of…

I'm a guy. I've had sex with nine different women in my life. Not Charlie Sheen, but I have an idea as to what goes on. Some vaginas are small and tight, some vaginas are bigger and looser. It's not a bad thing either way. It's all wonderful and amazing. Vaginas are not alike, but nobody should feel bad about what…

I approve this post!

I'm not blaming them for anything, I loved growing up in the city. My point was this is not necessarily a generational issue. Not every place is equally safe and not everyone can pick up and move to someplace that is

At least they're not on your lawn any more. That's something.

Hah, yeah, I don't mean that people can't like both! I was just pointing out that people have different taste, and while I don't get the whole Disney-princess thing, I'm sure princess fans don't get my interests, either.

Maybe it is because I teach in a college and get to see actual college students every day but I would not want to be mistaken for a college student. I don't care how they look. They say and write the stupidest things! I am considering starting a blog about things they write and say just to remind people of how stupid…

I'm 27 and 'acne and angst' is still a big issue.

Ahh, "S8er Boi," her song about a Jewish boy coming of age.
