Hasn't Beyonce also done performances for dictators or their relations? Honestly, haven't most big name Western artists done something like that at some point? Not that it makes it okay or like we should ignore it, but with Jez worshipping Beyonce despite her doing the same thing...lay off Mariah.

We have Hyperbole and a Half. LOVE it. My son (7) loves comics and manga style books so he picked it up. He quickly realized reading it aloud was a bad idea. Am I a horrible parent for letting him read the first comic? I don't think so, his face was priceless (plus we discussed why some words shouldn't be said aloud…

This is a great gift for your friend who needs a laugh and a cry and to genuinely feel connected to another person in print form.

Yeah I totally get that. It's just little, subtle things that I don't think I ever noticed when I lived there but now stand out to me like a sore thumb when I go back. Like qualifying "it was a black guy" when really there's no reason to say that. Or once I was at the doctor's office and the nurse practitioner was…

Best (aka the worst) part of this fiasco: People on my FB feed saying "Oh, so censoring someone from expressing their views even if you don't agree with them is okay if liberals agree with it?" omg. Is he dead? Was he arrested and thrown in prison? No? FREE SPEECH DOESN'T PROTECT YOU FROM BEING FIRED, DUMMIES.

Right? Why is it so weird one way and then the other way they're begging their girlfriends "just try it once"?

Dear people who hate gay people because they find butt sex squicky -

"One white girl in Winnetka and the story would have been different" - yeah, unless her rapist was a white boy from Winnetka.

You guys. Can we not just appreciate the sentiment instead of wondering if she lit-rally wants to ban calling people fat?

Holidays at Grandma's. Classic.

Oh, thank you for the sudden and surprising cackle. Grandma's house *cackle*

I can't believe how much this made me laugh.

I've been looking for a new perfume and you sold me. You had me at "Victorian era-prostitute."

Feminists who feel negatively toward pornography and have serious reservations about how the pornography industry operates are out there — but we're very often afraid to speak up because it devolves into people screaming at you ("CITATION NEEDED!" "Define porn!" "But Stoya and James Deen!") and interrogating you about…

Thank you, this is what people nowadays just do not seem to understand. And even the "alternative" famous porn stars are still really hot people, I'll never look as good as Sasha Gray. So how is that empowering for me and the millions of other average girls?

I agree with everything you've said, and this discussion is also extremely relevant to the subject of this post. Anytime criticism of pornography is articulated, no matter how eloquently, no matter how well-cited, no matter how logical, the conversation is immediately shut down by accusations of being "Victorian" or…

I finally get to use this:

It reads like a Jenna Maroney quote.

I wish Fox News said that when the US profiles Middle Eastern men for terrorism.
