That's how a lot of the population (especially the already homophobic part of society) sees same-sex people. They think they're all the same. And some will probably use this as "evidence" as to why same-sex folks shouldn't adopt, which is bullshit because these are shitty people regardless of their sexuality.

maybe in your fantasy world people don't judge groups based on the actions of individual members of that group, here on earth it happens all the time constantly.

There definitely seems to be a big emphasis on being conventionally attractive, which isn't attainable for everyone (cis or trans) and seems kind of shallow sometimes.

Old person weighing in. It wasn't a spread. She took some nude photos during her CBGB days and Playboy bought them.

This. Thank you. I want to hear from Nepali women themselves, not some white woman's account of her view of Nepali women's struggles. If you see up in previous comments, someone has already referred to the developing world as "worthless cultures", this is what this type of article perpetuates.

I don't know that a white, Western woman denouncing cultural relativism is all that helpful (or, particularly insightful, seeing as how if white, Western people had their way, the concept of cultural relativism wouldn't even exist). The point is, we don't get to decide what other cultures should do, seeing as how we…

Seriously? I'm a licensed counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist, and it was evident even on cursory viewing of this show that the couple had long-standing problems barely masked for the cameras. We're kind of attuned to pick up on these kinds of cues, and reality cameras do not make one an actor,…

Why is Rosie Huntington Whatshername in bed with two weiners when she could be in bed with Jason Statham?

I have the same knee-jerk reaction to it as HeadlockBetty does, and it's precisely because I most often hear women referred to as "females" by sexists. It's also often used alongside "men" (instead of "males"), which does come off as very dehumanizing.

It's because it's totally dehumanizing. We usually use the term "female" to refer to animals, not human beings. It makes the fact of a person's femaleness more important that the fact of their humanity. It also lends a false air of objectivity and science to a lot of incredibly fucked-up ideas about how women…

Yeah. You don't need "Satan" or a "satanic cult" to have a massive sexual abuse of children coverup. All you need are some permissive bishops, cardinals, a pope or two, and a bunch of priests. Youth pastors and regular pastors work too. Why are people more willing to belive that there's a secret cult of satan…

Check out how sources are manipulated in this pathetic conspiracy-theory article — it can't just be one of the thousands of cases of pedophiles attaining positions of religious authority in order to abuse children, it has to be SATAN. To prove this retarded nonsense, sources are wildly misrepresented and outlandish…

You're an insane conspiracy theorist. If calling out the fact that you literally believe in the existence of Satanic rape cults is "gaslighting" then sign me up for some.

No, it is not real, and Jezebel should be ashamed of publishing a conspiracy-theory article that is the equivalent of "lizard people chemtrails discovered to be true cause of the patriarchy."

Are you talking about like 1980s satanic panic SRA stuff? Because no. Only one SRA case ever resulted in a conviction, and even that one is widely accepted to be based on false memories. I thought it was common knowledge that all of those incidents were hoaxes.

Got links? Everything I've ever read has convinced me it's almost always a hoax or, at worst, a few mentally ill people who have decided to call themselves a cult. I'd be interested in seeing serious research that reached the opposite conclusion.

And why would someone lie about being sexually assaulted? What could be gained from that? Nothing, really.

I have no idea whether these claims are true or not, but Morrissey's entire "why would someone lie about this" stance is either breathtakingly naive or simply dumb. People lie about absolutely EVERYTHING, often for nonsensical, ridiculous, mental illness-related, or (yes!) malicious reasons that don't actually benefit…

My only thing is I have seen kids and adults born with a low IQ, I have an aunt who works at a school where it is a requirement that your IQ be no higher than...I'm not sure but the advantage IQ is around 30. These teens, soon to be adults can barely read, if they even can read. Some don't even have a concept of what…

I think it is a genuinely American characteristic to always pretend to be 'non-judgemental' or 'let people do what they want as long as they don't hurt someone' and thus condoning all kinds of harmful things often supporting underlying concepts of oppression. Seen as in many years of not monitoring cults until they…
