Jesus. You know what else has “beautiful curves” to contrast with the “straight lines of the product?”

Funny enough the photographer and designer behind that ad is a girl...

I feel a weird mixture of pity, contempt and pure rage toward this female designer if she truly doesn’t get what’s exploitive versus “beautiful” about this image. She’s either being super naive or disingenuous, both of which are convenient for Valeton. “Hey, she’s female, she has boobs, she’s just celebrating them,…

I’m just going to post my comment verbatim from the Fusion post on this yesterday. The tl;dr version is that under our immigration laws you can’t simply “issue a visa” to someone fleeing harm, which sucks for the Chechens and makes everything more difficult.

I’d defend her. I will. She’s correct.

It is absolute bullshit that her tweets are being treated as if they are the same as his misogynistic online rants. Bullshit! I don’t know what else to say besides yelling incoherently at this point...

I will defend her if you won’t: SHE AIN’T WRONG.

OMG guys, look how these big bad feminazis forced this guy out of his career JUST for being a sexist asshole! When will we have real equality?

Well, that is the problem with income inequality that hits to all small facets of other parts of life.

I’m not going to comment on the details of her crime, sentencing, or incarceration-those things have been endlessly litigated and I won’t change anyone’s mind at this point.

Absolutely. It’s infuriating that no one goes to men and asks about the career they’ll give up, the body they’ll change forever, when they’ll realize that the clock is ticking and they should get married before they’re no longer marketable. Men have historically had it all because women do the lions share of the work…

I think women are realizing that no one ever asks men if they can have it all - we’re tired of it being assumed we’re going to do everything to enable men to have it all without giving up anything.

The women my age are waiting longer to have kids because they’re waiting longer to get married, and a lot of that rests on building a career and paying down student debt.

I’ve always wondered, how many people before the last couple decades didn’t actually want to have kids, be mothers, but it was the only option available to them so that’s what they did. I bet there are quite a few women who feel more comfortable with the choice to not have kids now, than there were even back in the…

She didn’t simply endanger the individuals in the tape she revealed. She heightened the level of danger faced by all men and women on active duty. Indeed, she distributed content that surely facilitated the process of terrorist recruitment, which very likely led to the deaths of the comrades in arms she betrayed…

If I was ever uncertain about how I felt about Wikileaks and Julian Assange, this case clarified things for me pretty easily. Fundamentally, I always looked at Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning as a deeply immature and easily manipulable kid who lacked clear perspective on the world and life and who was also struggling…

Oh, I know. And it was like 97% back in late March. Ten points (at least because I’ve not seen any post-Comey firing polls) in two months is free fall.

I spent last summer in Finland, and was shocked at the difference between policing there and policing here. According to a polic officer I had a lengthy conversation with, Finns view police as protectors of the people, not warriors. It’s a valued profession, one that only certain people are recruited for, and they…

I think you’ll find most of us aren’t “anti-cop”. We’re against “murdering, stealing, raping, corrupt cops” which unfortunately seems to be an ever-increasing percentage of their number.

One of my favorite police stories is: Police responding to a loud but not violent fight between a mother and older teenage son. The police asked them to step outside wherein the mother and son continued with the police actively looking on. With a little guidance from police they were able to come to a tentative…
