We need policies that are practical and grounded in empathy like the ones proposed by Ms Hernandez-Goff. Brava, lady.

I’ve been thinking a lot about these issues as of late as well. I went to business school and studied economics. The function of a business is to generate profit for its shareholders. When a company’s employees aren’t is shareholders that basically leaves the lowest level worker screwed over with no say or economic…

Oh I LOVE VF's bitchy profiles on people. They've got so much damn money they know they can print something like this and get away with it. I can't afford most of what's in there, but I love the magazine, and I will definitely be buying this issue. I've tried so hard but I just can't with Gwennie, and I think it's…

Ex-fucking-cuse you?

grappa is walter white.

Smirnoff Ice is Joe Francis.

Mike's Hard Lemonade has a creepy fixation on much, much younger women.

Sorry, but this is way too specific and the tone is way too on point for me to buy this as a hoax.

When someone want to make an authoritative statement by quoting a study, they really should link the study, or at least provide a footnote that names the study and the page that the quote was lifted from. You know, so people can look at it and see what it really said without the bracketed bits replacing part of the…

Yeah, this happens with Japanese women and white western men all the time! When I lived in Japan, the white men I knew would explicitly say that they were there looking for a submissive Asian wife who would do all the housework and never question them. It was hilarious to see the shell shocked look on their faces when…

However mail order brides in Asia are becoming a common theme not just among white american men but also Asian guys. Due to the patriarchal nature of Asian cultures such as China favoring sons over daughters the sons have a hard time dating or getting married. Thus some of the first world nations such as Japan and…

One of my friends in the Ukraine went that route. I have nothing good to say about the dudes who do this. I've seen rich, greedy, sexist men literally buy young women. They don't speak the language and they just want a maid who won't ever talk back. They just hate a woman with a mind.

A lot of American men marry Asian women because they want subservient women. In many Asian cultures, women are subservient when living with their parents, but once they are married, they are head of the home. It's hilarious to go to the Thai temple festivals in the US and see all the Thai women with white husbands…

You know what's the absolute worst? When you have your period and you're sitting on the toilet and your stomach is cramping because you're having a horrible liquid poo, and you can't tell if you have to keep period-pooing because your stomach is cramping or if you just have regular period cramps. So you just keep…

You know this highlights something that I have been thinking a lot about recently. Basically, we in the UK are very bad at having rational and reasoned conversations about diversity, race and sex equality. Or any kind of equality really. We have this kneejerk 'it's PC gone mad' response to anything or anyone that…

Naaa, watch the clip - it's pretty clear, when she's bare face, that it's the same nose. I think the thing that's throwing people off is general a lack of knowledge of contouring, and the fact that the old picture isn't a good one (there's WAY too much shadow going on, which makes her nose look larger).

YUP. Yup yup yup. I think a lot of people are closed off to the idea of adoption without giving it much thought, and that is sad, but I also want to throat-punch people whose response to pregnancy, IVF, fertility treatments, etc. is "just adopt."
JUST adopt? Seriously? The phrase has never been uttered by anyone who…

Philosophy pays quite well, as long as you're going into an area of demand. The problem - and I say this as someone who was a philosophy graduate student - is definitely the sexism, and the fact that until very recently (like, the McGinn case recently), there were few recourses.

Teenagers aren't so bad when they're yours. For one thing, you can remember them when they were young and sweet - that sweetness is still there, you just have to look a bit harder (and hold your nose).

Yo, biatches, I burnt down an entire fuckin' city just by kicking over a lantern and nobody even knows my name, just my bitch-ass owner's Mrs. O'Leary! Moo, yo! MOOOOOOOO!
