I've listened to her on a few podcasts as a guest and yes, she's pretty silly.

I'm suddenly reminded of Night Vale and the town's overall feelings on the dangers of books.

I don't hear it often in real life either. I'm lucky in that regard. And while my feelings about it would be different if it was used against me normally, thinking about how I feel when I DO hear it I realize my first instinct isn't negativity towards the person being called it but negativity towards the person using

So apparently at menopause women just stop existing. I bet they also think women who have had mastectomies aren't really women, either.

I guess it's a good thing that we hear that a slur begins with "f" and the first thing that comes to mind is fucker instead of the other one.

Does no one remember when James Franco propositioned a teenager and made jokes about it later? And his career hasn't tanked. Like, Hill didn't have to make this apology, but he did and it seemed sincere to me.

I think it's that the LGBTQ community already gets crapped on as far as what they are being used as insults and hearing famous people continue to use that as an insult just makes it harder for them. So whether or not the internet has that feedback, it seems like Hill at least knew that instead of hurting that really

Yeah, when I heard it was towards a paparazzi I still thought it was you know, a bad thing to say, but I took that with a grain of salt because I know that the paparazzi do horrible things to get famous people to react. It's seriously messed up and no one deserves to be treated like that.

I hope I didn't come off as dismissing open relationships. I have no problem with people who aren't strictly monogamous (as long as everyone is up for it) and I actually admire couples who can make it work. It's just frustrating that bisexuals are ASSUMED to be hypersexual and incapable of fidelity ... especially

Now playing

This is why I really, really love Community. Alison Brie, man. Alison freaking Brie.

Considering his last stand-up special that was mostly about how marriage is an insane concept .... I wouldn't be too optimistic about your chances at ex-wifedom.

I think some of it is just pure non-malicious ignorance, too. The way people who don't know much about transpeople describing them as drag queens. It's that they don't know better ... and of course the answer is for everyone to educate themselves and be better about calling people what they actually are.

It's why I've been trying to better empathize with asexuals I've talked to. Because I might not completely understand what they experience, but I've been mislabeled enough that I wouldn't want to do that to someone else. (Actually the same way I feel as a white woman trying to be a better ally to WOCs).

Change pancakes to sex and you've basically explained a good portion of the #YesAllWomen campaign!

I guess, but I just don't want to police how people see themselves. And if other terms added into bisexual helps people better explain their sexuality, I don't see that as a bad thing. Although it would help if the terms were a wee bit better defined (for instance, that polysexuality is a subset of bisexuality and the

But that's my point - people hear that a famous man has been with men and they go "oh he was gay." Nevermind that they had relationships with women and as far as we know they were attracted to their partners in that relationship. But the idea of bisexuality is foreign to so many people that it's easier for even bigots

He's pretty hilarious. He was a staffer on the Daily Show for forever and last year did some guest hosting while Jon Stewart did a project overseas. If you can find his Daily Show monologues, they are awesome.

There are some others, too. Cary Grant and Freddie Mercury also get labelled as gay.

It's weird for me because I realized I was some variant of bi while in a long-term (and still going on) monogamous relationship with a guy. So while I'm attracted to women in some capacity, I'm not pursuing any other romantic/sexual relationships and don't really plan to. So it's like, it's still good to know how I

I stopped watching a few weeks ago (feel free to guess which bit did it for me) but I saw the gif of Oberyn's lover and her absolute breakdown ... and yeah, I knew. Like, you just KNEW.
