Just popping in to say that I've been watching the pre-game coverage and I am really tired of the announcers and sideline reporters discussing how all this Ray Rice stuff is a "distraction" from football and can the Ravens "overcome" said distraction. I don't like that choice of words. Football is a distraction from…

Me too. I certainly went through phases where I didn't think I was attracted to race A. Then a great guy of race A would come along and it prompted me to change my tune. I finally reached a point where I'm able to see a handsome guy is a handsome guy no matter his race. And that sounds corny but it's true. I was even…

The article was about attraction based on RACE, not sex.

It is impossible to live in America in 2014 and not have some sort of subconscious racial bias. Even if you know you have a bias, and that it's wrong to have a bias, it can be really hard to erase completely. We're all inundated with these cultural messages from childhood, some of that shit is going to stick no matter…

I think "prejudiced" is a better term than "racist" in this situation.

Oh God, cue the 'YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHO YOU'RE ATTRACTED TO' chorus.

So the NFL knew that Rice, "attempting to cause bodily injury to J. Palmer ...[struck] her with his hand, rendering her unconscious."

I'm gray so no one will see this - but I've been reading Jez since the days of Moe and Anna (both Annas) and Dodai felt like my last tie to that era. Why on earth isn't she taking over? I hope she leaves and starts her own blog - and if she collected a few former Jez writers along the way, she'd be unstoppable. We…

Don't. S&M fetishes DO NOT mean you wanted your abuse or consented to it or "secretly enjoyed it" or whatever. It is entirely possible to consensually enjoy the type of sex you like and dislike rape.

Finally, the first legitimate chance that Pissing Contest could win Pissing Contest.

Not sure how weird it is, but I recall the thing that short-circuited my tiny, little brain the most. I still start to breathe heavily when I think about it too long. My wife (girlfriend at the time) told me she was going upstairs to take a shower. She came back down buck naked and took the video camera and plugged…

It's great that you've found something that you enjoy. But my point stands.

HOLY FUCK. They passed over Dodai?! That is some bullshit!

WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ALL LEAVING AT THE SAME TIME? Is the house on fire?

So, is everyone leaving today? Because this feels like a mass exodus.

LINDY'S LEAVING TOO????

The new editor starts this month, right? Maybe Lindy's leaving to protest Dodai having been passed over for that position. Oops, did I say that out loud...?

After going to jail, Machine maintained his Twitter account as well as a blog documenting his time in jail. In this blog, he stated that "The oppression of MEN is worse than oppression of Jews in Nazi Germany, worse than the slavery of Blacks in early America... I'm not exaggerating either."^[34]

Here's what I don't get: if he is separate from his character, why did he legally change his name to War Machine and how on earth could he use his birth name in legal documents? Technically his birth name would now be considered an alias wouldn't it?

This would be a slightly better (slightly, but not much) strategy to humanize had War Machine not chosen to legally throw away Jon Koppenhaver and literally make his legal name War Machine. If there ever was a "character" he certainly didn't have much interest separating the two before he was facing 32 felony charges.
