I had an “intervention” last month. I live in a Catholic country and dad’s cousin and his wife came to our place and told me if I would believe in God and read the Bible, I would be healed from my mental illness.
Thanks guys.
I was actually a New Ager, but even then while I was believing in every possible conspiracy…

Notice how it’s not the father that is on the hook but the mother.

Yes. The new awakening of whites about drug addiction being a disease infuriates me.

No. You’ve been consistently condescending through this entire thread, as if other women are fucking idiots. Newsflash: someone may knowingly do an unhealthy thing (and do it for reasons you so graciously call “stupid”) and have no problem with it just because they fucking feel like it. Your need to split hairs over…

And yet millions of women used to do it, and many still do. I was cool with this thread until you called it insane, and, reading your later comments, you seem a little condescending and dogmatic about the whole issue. It’s a puff in the underwear—most people aren’t rubbing it into their vaginas or whatever you’re…

For some of us it’s not about shame. It’s about being comfortable. Crotch sweat is real and it’s uncomfortable — yes, even with cotton underwear. A little shake of powder on the external pudendum and inner thigh (not to be too graphic) helps keep chafing at bay. It’s not a “sad fucking head space” to want to be able…

HAHAHAHAHAH. Wow ok. How nice for you that you aren’t super sweaty and don’t need to use baby powder to keep you from sweating through your shorts! Awesome. Cool. Wow. Great. 👌👌

Here is how the question was phrased. Again, I think we need to be fair — we are the ones who need to understand the nuance, if anyone:

I mean, this is all pretty gross, but from the way I read it, the Trump voters were protesting the fact that Lincoln used an executive order to free the slaves, not the fact that the slaves were ultimately freed.

Cool! Cool. Cooool. Cool. Cool cool cool. COOL COOL. cOOoOoOoOooOl (starts sobbing).

Biggest question is if FOX will give in to CC’s blackmail and give him either a movie or another limited series.

Can we stop complaining when people with platforms use those platforms to support worthwhile ideas?

Not at all. I don’t think that black people have a monopoly on being inspired by someone like Langston Hughes or Martin Luther King.

This mocking is all so dumb. She got lambasted already, lost her job, receives death threats- but she should have picked a white poet to name her son for.

May I second this? “Frustrating to see women come forward with their past only to be shot down, not believed & disrespected for their bravery in taking action”—Haven’t many of us felt like this before? I think Demi was feeling frustrated and tweeted that. What’s the problem? People are critiquing her posts and this…

I can’t tell if this is just a new writers acclimating, or what, but lately the level of snark/bitchiness on Jez has increased exponentially. Not a fan.

This whole article is annoyingly anti feminist itself, and for no good reason.

Yes, the tone of the item had a distinct “who is SHE to talk about feminism” vibe about it. Everyone's allowed in the club, guys.
