Seriously, if you eat food from chain restaurants, you deserve what you get.

Yeah, this is bullshit. Champagne wouldn't even make it to the second round if this bracket were gender neutral. Fellas don't drink that shit unless they have to (or unless they're in a ridiculous rap video).

But we get to base our votes on how we perceive the options. When I choose to drink or smoke, it's like a vote for drinking or smoking. But caffeine isn't a choice, so why should I vote for it?

Well, if you had to pick only one sexual position for the rest of your life, what would it be? All the cool stuff with the reverse cowgirls and inverse pretzel twists and whatnot...if you just did those positions forever, they would be boring too. The reason why we like the non-missionary stuff is because it's less…

But see, that's why caffeine shouldn't be in this bracket. For many of us, we absolutely can't go without it. It's not a preference, per se, it's just something we have to do to be the best little capitalist robots we can be. If I could sleep in and saunter into work whenever, I wouldn't even drink the stuff. Whereas…

That's my forecast too. HOWEVER> I'm TEAM WINTER. I prefer snow and cold to sunshine and warmth.

Every time I see this a-hole's face, I also want to punch it. Hate this toolbag.

Sure. And I would watch more if the quality were improved. But I base the vast majority of my decisions (about what I consume, and life in general) on their ethical implications. And I find it imperative that I try to reduce the activities and things I consume that are of dubious ethical content or implication. It's…

You're right. I don't watch much television or movies. I read about 2-3 books a week though, and I exercise, I cook, I do some arts and crafts, I spend time with my partner, I work, etc...

Whereas, I see the aggregate and continual making of these compromises as the lifeblood of continued inequity and injustice.

...(gasp)!

Dear Lord. I love this show. It's so stupid and so good all at the same time. They are the biggest dorks in the world. Literally the most uncool people living in a city that generally forces cool experiences on you with regularity. Instead, they bumble about and wind up doing the dumbest things possible, and having an…

For all your time and money spent on studying the legal frameworks/theories that govern society, you've managed to completely disregard the importance of the very issues that these laws speak to, i.e. gender, race, class...justice.

What amazes me is that you read the headline and rather than immediately thinking of the gender, race and class issues introduced by this type of discussion, you instead looked at the photo of Miley, dissected her body into analysable physical components, selected an issue of your own, personalized the photo into your…

The pedagogical and educational implications of this course are just massive. I love it. What at fantastic mechanism to discuss and make topical some profound intersectionalities.

I didn't even have to read the text to determine that the woman in question was Indian. I just knew.

Just like the fact that Terry Richardson's career has been bought and paid for by women that fork over time, money and internalized values that prop up the industries that his photography glamourizes.

Because feminism is utterly ineffective without a close in integral critique of capitalism. In fact, the vast majority of feminist issues are gendered effects of capitalism. But the misguided and misunderstood focus on 'choice', 'individualism', etc are too enmeshed with (self-defeating) consumerism for feminism to…

Kinda like most reality television, cosmetics, fashion, and celebrity culture is purchased and consumed by women, despite their deleterious content and message.

Ew. I can't even kiss when I (rarely) smoke. The whole concept of sexuality and eroticism is completely absurd when I get stoned. I've noticed a gender differential here, too. I know a lot of ladies that like smoking and sexing, but I know a lot of fellas that share my aversion.
