On a recent Jez article about purity pledges, an openly trans woman got a ton of heat for truly believing that all women want to be taken care of by a man, and for propagating this harmful stereotype of women, which she still didn’t seem to understand was a harmful stereotype. So, I can kind of understand the where…

I think it’s a nice show of solidarity. Sure some people are probably doing it to be like “oh look how compassionate I am” but no one on my FB feed has done that. It was just a silent evolution of profile pics. If the French displayed our American flag to commemorate 9/11, then I think it’s wonderful that Americans…

The Guardian has a manageable live feed going right now. The video of the soccer match with the explosion in the background is pretty terrifying: http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/201…

My partner and I have been sleeping *sort of apart* for a while now and we’ve always talked about if it’s weird or not, but it works for us. He’s a complete sleep freak, tossing about, talking in his sleep about totally mundane shit, and we both have a lot of anxiety when it comes time to try and fall asleep, so we’re…

Ugh, thanks for sharing. Motion sickness is the bane of my fucking existence, and it’s severe enough at this point I loathe the idea of travel anymore after also having puked all over many places around the world. It’s not just the puking that gets to me, it’s the endless days after the initial travelling where my…

As a fellow curly-hair, at no point in my entire life has any sort of heat applied to my head been a good idea. I come to work with my hair still drenched because even a diffuser makes me look like a poofball.

I thought I’d heard somewhere they were going to change it back...was that a dream?

Not saying it’s not a wondrous part of nature, but at least bears don’t have the thinking capacity to realize how disgusting their bodies are.

Socality Barbie was everything to me this summer. I’m also a Portland native, and like many of us, spend as much time as possible outdoors taking gorgeous pictures and posting them to Instagram. But then as I followed more recommended accounts cuz I was only following like 20, my feed became a giant flood of…

So if anyone watches Portlandia you’re aware of the “Women and Women First” bookstore. Well, when moving to the city, that’s the first place I went. I hadn’t seen the show yet, and I just knew it as a feminist bookstore which hosted feminist events, which—how cool, right? Except not. It’s a garbage heap of dumb shit.…

You know, I would have been inclined to agree with you as a “fucking feminist” who doesn’t believe that a man should somehow be required to help a damsel in distress simply because of having a dick.

So what? Let her be successful in whatever way she chooses. If that success stems from trying to educate people her age that social media is not real life by reaching them through the only medium she knows might reach them, then fucking power to her.

Guys, I hate the shitshow that is the GOP candidates right now, but for the sake of truth and honesty, let’s admit that, in at least the last debate, it was set up against them. Everyone that had a hand in that dumb debate did the public a disservice.

So I spent my K-12 years in a class with this girl who’s mother and grandmother were super rich and tried to rule over everything and everyone in the school. When they rented out a local building for my classmate’s birthday party they literally invited the entire school. Bitch also started a rumor amongst the girls…

I love the connection she makes to horror and misogyny. I love horror films, and I’m always trying to find a really good one, but more often than not, the ones that make the “best of” lists have some element of sexual abuse to them, and that’s just something I don’t want to watch for “fun.”

Yeah but she publicized really intimate shit involving other people, supposedly without their permission.

Um, am I the only one who agrees with this? That “debate” was an utter pile of bullshit, with 85% bullshit, non-questions from the moderators, and absolute disregard from the candidates for how a debate functions. The questions were unfair, insulting, and the moderators for sure took their amusement of the candidates…

No. Just don’t even try to be contradictory on this one. In no modern, civilized society is it ever justifiable to flip over those hard metal school desks on top of a kid and then toss her across the floor just because she had a cell phone out. Perhaps if she had a weapon and was menacing other students and it was…

I was in high school a decade ago and of course there were kids (not assholes because by default that’s what most kids and teenagers are because that’s pretty much just nature) that disrupted class. What teachers never did was call in a cop to brutalize them. I taught in a classroom in Korea for years with kids who…

I hope you’ll be updating about Sanders, as his FB page as of 27 minutes ago discusses the incident as well as linking to the video.
