This is an excellent point, and thank you for clarifying the difference between the two terms "Muslim" and "Islamic." I do think the media should do a better job of leaning away, and not toward, defamation of an entire religion by being more sensitive to its portrayal, and I also think the media itself could benefit…

Summary of most comments (that I can see, thanks nuKinja)

I just read the post—so infuriating. Clare and her friends did everything right and they didn't even get a refund! She and her date looked fantastic and I'm extremely sorry their night was ruined.

This is all kinds of gross. Repressed men worried they're gonna get boners looking at teen girls at a homeschool prom. What depressing lives these men must lead.

"Is it self-control if we just humiliate and shun the women till our boners go away?"
Nope. You're doing it wrong, assholes.

Sometimes, getting a rape kit and going to the police also gets nothing done. Sadly.

OMG I can't believe it is SO easy! How has no one else in the world EVER thought of that?!

That's a very helpful list of "tips"! No one has ever thought of those before! Convenient that you're ignoring all the things that discourage people from doing them. I'm not saying putting a list on a bathroom door is the answer, but simply telling people who have been assaulted to do x, y, and z without addressing…

I'm fine with this. They brought their concerns to the university and nobody did anything substantial. So, cool.

The Beast article is a standard 'No True Scotsman' argument.

Dogs figure out what to do to best get attention and they stick to their developed methods, it works as a puppy and they keep doing it. I had this chubby Dachshund who didn't bark or growl but got attention in his quiet way. He would nudge you with his nose and look up to see if you were looking at him, it was…

Awwww! You guys!!! I don't know if it's the wine or the puppies. But that is genuinely making me feel feelings! Thank you, thank you, thank you, internet stranger. May someone return the favor to you some day (if I can't).

Why are these puppies not being held right now! Why do their cries for snuggles go unanswered! Put down the !@#$% camera and pick up the the puppies! What in the name of all that is holy is keeping you from picking up that puppy? Are you some kind of inhuman monster that likes to torture puppies? ALL THE PUPPY WANTS…

I figured out how to get my kids to behave in a restaurant.

this song is hilariously funny.

I am creating a burner just to say thank-you, Mark. I had one of those soul crushing days where you realize what you've been holding out for, working towards for 2 years isn't going to happen, and I probably need to quit my job. A job I'm emotionally involved in.

Ok, so it's totally fair to not like sushi and people shouldn't be made fun of for not liking sushi. BUT WHO GOES TO A MICHELIN-STARRED SUSHI RESTAURANT IF THEY DON'T LIKE (or don't know if they like) SUSHI?!?!

My mother likes it. Haters gonna hate. Shrug.

I have all the comments that got more that 100 likes tattooed on my ass.
