True story: I’m a graphic designer, and I once did an infographic where I accidentally switched the male and female symbols. We caught it in the very first round of revisions, though. There is NO way this should have made it to print. This is why you have multiple layers of people reviewing and proofing things.

Binary arbitrary things are hard to remember and someone had a brain fart.

Men have a penis, it goes into things (arrow).

I’m pretty sure you don’t understand how books are written, if you think the process requires a deal with a major publishing house.

Yes, I’m pulling you out of the greys probably, mainly to watch you get destroyed by other commenters. Anyway, please learn what free speech is and then get back to us. A publisher is not the government, they are just trying to make money off controversy(and they will get a lot I predict) and shouldn’t give hate…

To mouth breathers who lack the prerequisite critical thinking skills to discern between someone’s freedom to write a book and the responsibility of main stream publishers to not legitimize hate speech with money and a prominent platform, sure I do sound like a nazi.

You’re trying to trot out the “paradox of tolerance”, but you are late to the game. It’s already been solved, amigo. Philosopher Karl Popper brought up this exact point in 1945:

WHOA WHAT AN EDGY COMMENT YOU MUST BE FUN AT PARTIES

Hi! I’m the teacher that sent this in! Thank you SO SO much to everyone who is saying positive things and/or donating. We are so very grateful. The coaches have been dancing around the office as donations started coming in and I guess NBC called this morning. We appreciate your love and support and well-wishes. If you…

So you don’t want these young girls from the Bronx to have the same experience that you got to enjoy? Wow. And why are you calling them bratty? You know absolutely nothing about them and their life experience. I am happy that you had the privileged upbringing that allowed you and your cheer team to take trips, and…

Your comment to me here makes no sense.

Also, I don’t think it’s necessarily worth sticking it to the musicians on this year’s lineup, who 1. likely do not have dealings with Anschutz and 2. have certainly signed their contracts long ago, the violation of which would likely lead to legal ramifications. Don’t go vilifying Beyoncé or Kendrick or Lorde etc,…

Way to take a heart-warming, deserving plea for assistance into a discussion of black on white juvenile crime. Yes, the crime is sickening. But don’t hijack this thread – one that supports AF teens – by switching the focus.

Nationals may not mean anything to you, but it sure means a lot to us. The tears of the joy that come from cheerleaders after each competition shows that they are passionate about what they do, we have come so far and we will not give up on our dream. It’s not about the trip, it’s about coming home with the first…

Troll alert: Please avoid feeding the individual who keeps commenting that Jezebel doesn’t cover enough stories about white people. And if you must comment, perhaps you can provide him/her a link to Bo Bice’s website so that they can cry together.

Bullshit. Your entire comment is bullshit. Seems like you take joy in stopping kids you don’t know from achieving a goal.

Why do white people have to bring race into everything?

That was the moment in my youth when I knew I was gay! That movie is packed with man buns!

The truth about Brad Pitt is he left Jennifer Anniston for a psychopath and now he is finally realizing it.

Wrong! This country was built on freedom of speech and expression. Which means having the right to tell the Office to go fuck himself. And that’s not even getting into the fact that he is a sexual predator.
