Everyone is talking about The Olive Garden because it is the perfect mix of fine and casual dining that makes you feel at home with its warm aesthetic and reasonable prices.

I think you meant Bweak Fwee of those restrictions.

No comment on how Deadspin published the Kate Upton photos and got 658,000 page views? No moral outrage over your own employer Gawker Media profiting from this sex crime? No comment on how you couldn't find basically any other reputable site to actually publish the leaked photos except Gawker Media? No comment on…

No, it's a completely different thing that I found on the internet.

Am I allowed to say Dinklage was robbed if I don't watch any of the other five shows he was up against? Because Dinklage was robbed.

It may be medically justified, but it's hardly urgent relative to myriad other ailments that the VA has limited resources and struggles to treat.

Seconding this, I would kill for a Lindy West Recap!

And munchkins of all things, too. They're really cute, sure, but the health of them is a considered a bit dubious/controversial. I'm sort of uncomfortable with breeding animals in a way that compromises their mobility or purposefully introduces a lethal mutation just for the sake of appearances. After all, munchkins…

OK...I am going to be that person: approximately 3.4 million cats enter the shelter system every year. Of those, over half are euthanized. These kitties are cute, but dear god, we need to stop breeding cats.

My cats are not that cute. Then again, my cats are all adopted and not incredibly overbred, so I'll take it.

It's not that it's pop music, it's that it's terrible pop music. I love pop! I love Britney! I also love hip hop! But now it seems like Iggy was hungry enough for fame that the case for her racial insensitivity (or racism?) is stronger. She failed at pop, did rap (and so poorly- Autotune plus vocal fry owwwwe owwww…

As a point of information: Trans women attend the festival every years as workers and as attendees. So no one is keeping anyone out. This is a feminist way of approach; to say, please respect that this space is female focused. If you can get with that, fine.

I think the issue isn't the anatomy you're sporting at birth, but instead the way that anatomy shapes your socialization. It's true that male privilege is often carried through the transition and that is what seen as is detrimental to all women events.

There is a growing number of us actual born-female homosexuals who tried your "inclusivity" project and are waking up to what it means: being talked over, talked down to, groped, assaulted, expected to laugh at your rape jokes, expected to laugh at your dick jokes, accused of bigotry when we reject your advances,…

I'm paraphrasing here, which is probably why it sounds like a parody anecdote. These are different discussions held at different times, and the women involved haven't all be active in the community at the same time or working in concert with one another. I'm condensing for the sake of discussion, because I don't want…

I know that some folks claim that these sorts of discussions from trans women are "rare" and a "minority of a minority". But I've been caught in the cross-fire of arguments like this from trans women in feminist spaces that welcome them here in my hometown. I've seen these arguments first hand. Like it or not, cis…

Honestly, I think a lot of the pushback we see when it comes to including trans women and women-only spaces is that there is always that vocal group (are they a minority? I would hope so, but I don't know) that derails EVERYTHING. You can't say vagina. You can't talk about periods. Mentioning having two X chromosomes…

You may not be a vegetarian yourself (personally, I love a good steak). However, those who live the vegetarian lifestyle still have taste buds. You can follow their example to find recipes that make various healthy foods taste great. In fact, many recipes that use meat substitutes like tofu can be repurposed for use…

Having a vagina, clitoris, vulva, and a uterus/womb means one will face a particular set of oppressions in life, based on this anatomy (influenced of course by one's specific region and society). See: forced pregnancy and delivery, forced sterilization, forced transvaginal ultrasounds, forced breastfeeding, FGM,…

What? Really? How about the experience of (and fear of) pregnancy? The vulnerability, terror and power of being able to give birth to children. The power it gives you and the power it takes away. Even women who don't give birth to children are deeply affected by their ability to do so. Even women who can't have…
