Please, for the love of everything ever, quit calling them the "Ebola nurses" in headlines. They are human beings with names.

*slides on insurance glasses* Actually, unless they have an infectious disease exclusion on their policy...

Ebola Bride. Thank you. I now have a Halloween costume idea.

I am so unbelievably angry at the idiotic coverage she's going with here. First it was the bad science that made me angry. But capitalizing off ebola a like it is actually a point about the wedding industrial complex is so completely and utterly ridiculous. But she's going around dismissing people so don't be…

The thing is, I suspect the virus can't live very long on fabric. So even if she was symptomatic, those dresses are probably fine. (Can't necessarily say the same for hard surfaces like the bathroom, seats, counters, etc.)

Holy crap, why can I not star this more than once. I totally agree with you, and am really disappointed with Jessica for the tone she's taking with writing about Ms. Vinson.

Look, I get your complete disdain for the wedding industrial complex. I also think it makes people very stupid. However, your scapegoating of an individual like she's some sort of Typhoid Mary is really getting disturbing. If she had flown to Ohio for, let's say, a funeral of her beloved father, would you be as…

I used to work in a strip club/adult store/massage parlor. We had internet booths, with some free porn access. Every. fucking. week, random middle-aged, well-dressed, white guy in a suit would scuttle out of his booth like he had a red hot potato jammed up his ass and scoot out of the store and almost without…

Except everything he said was true, so you're talking out of your ass.

There is some truth to the 'have confidence, have a good personality, and think positive' advice given here. When I was younger, I used to get gigs as a model. Not humble bragging, just saying I was reasonably attractive. And I dated several men who weren't what society idealizes as attractive men (think older men,…

Excuse me Santa does exist.

No, most of this stuff is mental and a gym isn't fixing that.

Women tend to get the blame for everything. Let me just remind you, in the world of comedy, it's typically men who are writing the tiny penis jokes, not women. In fact the "tiny penis" joke was already a standard before women were even hired to work as comedy writers.

It's totally okay—I reacted emotionally, and confrontationally, so I understand the response. It is a personal flaw of mine, and one that I'm working on, but with some issues I have a tendency to come out with guns blazing. And I want to apologize to you directly for the rudeness of my post, it was not okay.

Plus not all WOC have the same experiences! I love Mindy show, it's like she gets me. But other people don't feel like that and it's ok!

Again, meanwhile sitcoms starring and run by white men still don't have to answer these questions. Honestly, I feel like I've heard more meta-commentary on the Mindy Project than actual discussion of the show.

I think the big part of the problem is everyone's expectation that a show by a woman, of color, must somehow therefore be ideologically unimpeachable.

Which is literally impossible, even if people could agree on what that meant.

I like that she is saying that not only is breaking barriers and working hard to do it; she is expected to engage in a debate on if she is doing it well enough and engage in a meta-conversation about her as an abstract.

I made the same point to him before he went on his second rant. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he missed or ignored my post, but my guess is that he simply wants to argue.

what you said is true, but I think you missed the joke, which has been going around here for a while. See below:
