Invoking Charlie Gard seals the deal that you don’t know what the bloody hell you are talking about. The doctors are 100% right, and doing what is best for THE PATIENT, which is Charlie. The parents do not own their child, they do not have any legal or moral right to torture their poor little boy any more. His doctors…

Intersectional Feminist Writer: Ugh, I can’t even with these people who won’t wake up and see the sexism all around them!

Right, because it can’t possibly be that the systemic nature of the problem can blind both the afflicted and the blessed. No better way to encourage enlightenment than to belittle those who stumble along trying to find it.

Yea, that’s a really shitty way to wrap up an already odd post. I wonder if there’s a readily available statement, ideally one that’s both overly dismissive and mean-spirited, that I can repurpose as a reply?

I really don’t know how I feel about these sort of posts. They appear too often to ignore. A twenty-something celebrity is trying to vocalize that they’ve been on the receiving end of sexism. Ok.

It’s weird when a feminist blog tells a well-intentioned woman to shut up.

While the effort is appreciated, the process itself should perhaps remain behind closed doors.

These women shouldn’t need to fly over to England though. They should be able to get an abortion right where they live. I understand this is an improvement but the bar is set pretty low in terms of women’s rights.

Have you ever lived in the UK or received healthcare from the NHS/an NHS-like system? I have lived in both the UK and the US (currently in the US) and the healthcare I received in the UK was superior, in my opinion. Never experienced any long waits to see a doctor, never experienced “only getting care if the…

Honestly, those kids might have a better chance if they’re placed with a good family as opposed to two parents who are so smart they think books can stop guns.

The 3yo watched it happen.

On the other hand, if they didn’t have a mother in jail and a dead father, how long do you think it would have been before this brain trust decided to get some views by using their kids in one of their stunts? I’d rather she were in jail for killing him than have both of them in jail for killing one of their kids.

And someone who has been poor could tell you that taxes are a moot point when it costs more for care than taxes. Also, everything else you said, doesn’t matter if you can’t afford it. Wait times? It took me 10 years to get an allergy test. I never had the extra 200 + to just see a specialist out of pocket, and no one…

Deadspin shouldn’t have said “go eat shit,” that just reinforces the conservative persecution complex.

Only a jerk tries to touch someone else’s pet without permission.

Didn’t bother to watch the video, but yeah, don’t touch other people’s dogs unless they tell you it’s ok. Really, seriously don’t. You’re putting yourself and the dog at undue risk.

Thank you from your new Factor 50 wearing friend

Could they stay on that island?

it’s sweet, chillwave vibe

Years back, I had dinner with her and Jude Law and a few others, mostly popular academics, and she undertook a relentless campaign to be the guiding intelligence of that evening’s conversation. Maybe she isn’t dumb, I don’t know, but she was surrounded by really smart people and she talked over everyone, interrupted…
