This is exactly it - men never consider the idea that a) they could also be raped and b) it would be a deeply traumatising experience.

I wonder how this guy would react if it was “inevitable” that he was about to be raped. Pretty sure he wouldn’t just lay there are enjoy it.

I really wish the NRA would crawl out of their Shit covered bunker and start standing up for the mistreatment of ALL legal gun owners, and not just the white ones.

I’ve spotted another Sarah Marshall fan!

The only “good” abortion ban would be to ban men, like myself, from having a fucking opinion or say in what a woman does with her body, whether that’s abortion, birth control, or anything else.

I was just listening to a podcast about this movie today. I need to rewatch it, it’s really such a gem.

I’ve always heard this too (eye contact and face proximity), but I think it depends on the dog, the person, and their relationship. I didn’t grow up with dogs but my wife did and we’re a dog (and cat) family now.

I see and accept your explanation, but still would like you to be aware that your comment had a tone of judgement regarding cosmetic procedures. It’s where you said that fat lumps don’t “disfigure” a person, quotation marks yours. That’s not a judgement you can make for a person living with any kind of surgical…

Lots of body shaming on women in this post and comments. You’d be surprised how many people have botox and fillers, and you don’t even know it. At least I had no idea until I turned 43 this year and years of sunscreen and water and good genes could only do so much. Why should anyone else judge how I spend my money to…

Don’t forget he got rid of those Thetans as well.

I think there’s a huge difference between our experience of the world and a famous model’s, and it’s causing an empathy gap here. I worked as a model for a minute (nothing glamorous, just boring commercial work), and being a model means being treated like a lamp - stylists, photographers, casting agents, etc will say…

It’s also an accepted risk when one consents to a non-elective procedure, ie life saving surgery. In my opinion as a recipient of many surgeries- one of which literally was “well, *somebody* has to be in the 5% failure rate”- she is no less a victim for having complications from a non-emergency invasive procedure.

Tom Cruise is a good example of excellent cosmetic work, expertly done. There is *no way* a normal-ass short, 59-year old white guy looks like he does, which is a discreetly crag-ified version of his mid-20s prime self. He’s had work done. Lots of it. Maybe he’s got an entire surgery/derm/aesthetic team on retainer;…

Some asshole on my Facebook feed did a side by side of her and Tom Cruise today to show “who takes care of themselves and who doesn’t.”

I don’t care if she was a [put whatever employment makes you happy here], we can be empathetic for a person that goes in to get a procedure done and is physically scarred for life after.  It doesn’t matter who she was or who she is.  Stop judging people. 

Hey, look at what happened *last friggin’ month* to Bridget Fonda after some-20 years of fading into obscurity: a fucking paparazzo figured out where she lived, *staked out her house*, and took photos of her looking like a normal middle-aged mom. She had gained a lot of weight and some of the press were rather cruel…

Maybe it’s perfectly fine for women to celebrate both their assets and their talent and intelligence. Maybe there is no shame in that, and there shouldn’t be. And when I saw a photo of my mother from the 1970’s in a bikini hanging with her Summer time fling in Greece looking happy and like a total babe, I thought…

Police are never powerless. If they aren't doing something, it's because they don't want to. 

Talking in an accent that’s not your own is in no way racist.  The things you say and do while talking in that accent can be racist, but the accent is not.

This girl, who was chubby in her high school days in the 70's—when being overweight was understood as a form of moral weakness (yep, especially in my family) and who somehow internalized this attitude about herself (not others) even though she knows it’s idiotic—thanks Barbie and the others. I hope that in our society…
