I have no pity for fashion models who have eating disorders. They entered a superficial industry of their own free will. Go cry to a single mother who makes minimum wage with no benefits at fucking WalMart about how you couldn't eat a hamburger because that $10,000 dress wouldn't fit you.

I understand your anger but I think you should look at what Mindy Burgor did- which was to see one thing 'OMG all the Morans are Menz' and address it in a ridiculous way 'If I can become a Moran I can fix this'. In the article she claims to have spoken to ONE Maasai woman who wasn't living in the community that she…

It's important to keep in mind how colonialism is something that's build into social psyche and structures. That's what allows this type of bullshit to keep perpetuating itself. She's making money off a poor, colonized people, to her benefit and at insult to them and their culture. A lot of the ingrained logic is…

I remember watching that show Picket Fences (remember that?) when they had a school shooting storyline. The main characters come home from a school meeting in the aftermath, and the dad, who is a sheriff (and whose child was the one who was shot, although not fatally) carefully locks his gun in its box and puts it on…

"Had nothing terrible occurred later than night, no one would come across that photo and be horrified by it." Sorry but no, I would still be horrified to find out that this kid watched his ex-gf get manhandled and played with like a doll while she was passed out and then just left her there. If nothing had happened to…

Totally agree. I mean how could your first response to seeing that awful photo taken by Cody Saltsman be "But he's such a nice boy! He didn't rape her!" Anyone who says that needs their head examined. Clearly this photo shows his values in regards to women are TOTALLY skewed if he thinks it's funny to drag them around…

Oh c'mon. For all we know, he tried to speak with her on numerous occasions and she avoided his calls and wouldn't meet with him in person and he was left with no choice. That is the story I have in my head anyway. You know why? Because she seems like an immature child while he comes off as worldly and sensitive to…

She's a class act and a complete professional for doing that. And she just kills it on Dexter. I think she channelled a lot of emotion from the divorce into her performance as Deb these last couple of seasons, and it's made her character really raw and even more compelling. I have a lady crush on Jennifer Carpenter,…

Lindy West, you have an utterly juvenile sense of humor ("her butt, lol"). Which makes me love you more.

"Raising the issue can be touchy"

OMG I HATE CYCLISTS THAT ZIP AROUND ON THE SIDEWALK.

Have you tried to apply for a job recently, or worked at a job where you might be required to cover someone's shift? For a lot of people, cell phones are necessary because our employers or potential employers say they're necessary.

Felt threatened by cars, stopped riding my bike.

If you feel threatened by cars, don't ride your bike.

I am grinding my teeth just thinking about this stuff. I am overflowing with impotent, pedestrian rage.

Dude was riding his bike on the sidewalk. He can go straight to hell.

Catholics you know are not like this "dude" because what he says is not an accurate reflection of Catholic teaching, that's why.

I strongly dislike having this conversation on the internet, because it can go wildly out of control, and most of the time it ends with people talking past each other. But. Some food for thought. The evidence problem is difficult because one side offers evidence that the other is not actually concerned with, by virtue…
