Oh, absolutely, but it doesn't change the fact that these sort of things are becoming intolerable in the mainstream. There's always going to be assholes (and I think the execs at Facebook are among them), but at least we're getting to a point where they're being called out and changing because of a slow but positive…

One bright side: It will help people occasionally use "literally" correctly.

Seeing this in conjunction with Facebook finally agreeing to take down the photos of battered women and Patton Oswalt apologizing for his previous stance on rape jokes has really given me hope. It seems like the world at large is becoming aware of rape culture, which gives us all a better chance to combat it.

I completely disagree with you and think you should look into how power dynamics work, but hey, you got to the top of the comments just like you wanted. Looks like the hive mind can take some dissent, after all.

And it's not even just negatively affecting the woman (who we all know the GOP couldn't care less about), the fetus these people are working so hard to "protect" will likely end up suffering too!

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we saw these exact same trends among millennial men, considering the hatred of corporations found in many young people, not to mention the not-yet-squelched desire to Make a Difference in the World. I'd go so far as to say you'd likely see this trend in most times in modern history…

Thank you! That's the nicest compliment I've gotten all day.

That's how they work! You bloat up a little at the beginning with the cardiac problems and then you die and you're SUPER skinny.

Agreed! Presumably, this 15 year-old beating the shit out of Kick-Ass menstruates regularly, right? And it doesn't impair her!

Me too.

Absolutely! It's a lot of fun for me as well. Food is something I'm really passionate about, but when talking about veganism you always run the risk of people thinking you're preachy, so Jez is a great place for me to share my passion without judgement. Glad we could help one another!

Vegan here happy to answer your questions!

Guinea pigs are the best pets. They're quiet unless they need food, and they're such good little cuddlers! If I had that one- I'd name him Lancealittle!

I'm totally with you. This is such good news!

Adderall is one of two drugs I've ever taken in my life where I feared becoming addicted (the other being NyQuil; cigarettes have never done it for me). I took it 3-4 times while I was in college, and it was AMAZING. I limited myself because of my fear of addiction. Any time I did use it, though, it was because I…

I totally agree with all of this, but I also think fashion designers should stop thinking about "fat" and "thin" and start designing for ALL body types. I have and extremely hour-glass figure and everything manages to not fit in one place or the other. Lots of my close friends have the same problem with different…

It's so eeeeeasy to forget...

I don't disagree, but if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say those aren't the two things she values most about herself (which in no way suggests she doesn't love those things). It feels forced, like how they started the bake-off between potential first ladies because she wasn't "feminine" enough. Maybe I'm wrong and…

It's not that at all. If those things matter the most to her, then more power to her. I just don't think those are the first two words she'd use to describe herself, and I wish she felt like she could put her other accomplishments first. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but that's what I see.
