If birth control pills were chocolate I'd be set until I was seventy already.
I'm trying to figure out if that was a feminist shot she took or not.
I guess? It's pretty offensive to imply that black people were happy before civil rights just because they sang songs sometimes.
Can we still all agree that PeTA are dorks?
I agree that the racist parts are getting underplayed or whitewashed (no pun intended). It's strange.
Did anyone actually think A&E suspended the dude because they were surprised and offended by his words, not because they thought people might boycott if they didn't? I'd be surprised if anyone was so naive.
A reminder from your friendly neighborhood lawyer:
GMP is such a cesspool. This sharticle, while it does suck mightily, is probably one of the least egregious things to come out of that place in a while.
I feel like, for this particular piece, it could be renamed the "Men Who Aren't Actively Going Through Breakups Project."
That second quote sounds an awful lot like a straw-man argument to me. Does anyone actually call themselves a "survivor" after a break-up? Yes, you might say you survived the break-up, but I've never heard anyone say "I'm a break-up/divorce survivor," or "I'm an [ex's name] survivor."
I'm really glad that "The Good Men Project" has become a link for mockery. Welcome to the post-Hugo Jezebel, please enjoy your stay.

Staying in this relationship would have really been very bad for my emotional and mental and physical health. But leaving it hurts so so much, and I…
No shit they don't get along. It would have been in Ariel Castro's interest to make damn sure they didn't, and from what I've heard that's exactly what he did. They are also people who may have never chosen each other under natural circumstances.
I would really like it— it would be a relief of epic proportions— if the media referred to women aged 18 and older as WOMEN not "girls." I find the term infantilizing and disrespectful in a way akin to calling a black man a "boy."
The proper term for a collection of butt plugs is a stuffing. A stuffing of butt plugs.
I saw. And giggled.
But of course, this is all a feminist conspiracy to make MRAs look bad! I should have seen it before!
A few years ago, I lost about 20 lbs and got some compliments on losing the weight. It didn't feel good because I was not overweight before, in fact I was very satisfied with my appearance. The reason I lost weight is because crippling anxiety attacks were inhibiting my desire to eat. I was sick.
