It’s one of the world’s great ironies that a woman in the military is more likely to be raped by her commander than an enemy combatant. And it’s funny, in the blackest, most twisted gallows-humor sense of the word “funny”, that a lot of people hear about this, scratch their hollow pates, node sagely and say: “Well,…

I know you’ve already got my click, but if you could post an addendum stating which guys are most adept at cunnilingus, I’d appreciate it. You know these ladies didn’t come here to see bald men.

The founder, who is a British domestic abuse survivor who wishes to remain anonymous, told the BBC that she never meant for the campaign to go viral, or for women to post selfies with black dots on their hands.

Abusers are often paranoid and controlling as hell. No way one of them wouldn’t notice that dot!

That was the most wrongheaded aspect of it.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Considering it’s really rare for her to be in a picture where she isn’t sticking her tongue out, I’m surprised I didn’t notice it before now either.

I don’t know why someone would hate “black names”. Some black people have so damned little that the only agency they even have is what they name their kid. Shaniqua isn't any harder on the mouth than Evalynne.

I wasn't here for the first time this was posted, so thank you for posting it again. I bought a book by a guy who does this sort of thing all the time. He just likes exploring buildings and places you aren't allowed into. Excellent read. http://www.amazon.ca/Access-All-Are…

That is the smile of someone who can’t hide how happy they are to be getting so much attention.

You just reminded me of something the Silver surfer said once:

I’ve been in situations like this.

Well, she’s sugared her pockets pretty nicely by holding those views. If hypothetically, Stepin Fetchit were to turn down an opportunity to portray George Washington Carver I’d understand his decision, too. Caracatures always know what side their bread is buttered on.

I’m sure someone’s doing something to scratch out a living in the modern economy via etsy, and it saddens me that Amazon feels the need to sugar their oceanic pockets with those people’s meagre earnings.

I hope one day someone aims a dagger right at the heart of Amazon the way they’ve done to everybody else, including these poor bastards who are just trying to scratch out a living making their own soap.

Wow. There's a guy who really misinterpreted what Jesus expected of his followers. I've been lucky. Most Christians I've met are the Fred Rogers type.

Wrong viaduct, then. We did go to Scotland, but the “I love porn” viaduct i saw was in England. A few towns over from wher I live currently, someone spraypainted “CockWolf!” on a building and it also amused me greatly.

I know this is shamefully off-topic, but I visited England in May, and someone spraypainted “I [heart] Porn” on one of the pillars of that particular viaduct. I found it more amusing than the wife. She hates vandalism.

I had totally forgotten that I wanted to grab Grace Jones’ memoir, and this piece reminded me. Anyone here read it yet?

The constitution doesn’t guarantee anyone’s right to a hot-fudge sundae, either. Doesn’t mean people aren’t going to have ‘em.
