This kind of shit happens every day and do people really not see that there's a problem with society telling young men that masculinity is something that must be asserted towards other people to be a 'real man'? Do people not realize these kinds of crimes are committed mostly by men

I just read this post that said "Parents, please don't be your child's first bully." And it made me cry. I'm a domestic violence survivor who never knew a day without domestic abuse until I turned 20, and these "I'll show you, I'll punish you, and I'll laugh at you" behavior breaks my heart even though I know that…

I can't handle it. Which means I will not support them financially and socially by watching their stuff. Because I can't separate the art from the artist, since I will be supporting it by watching it.

And geo-tagged themselves in that hotel lobby on their instagram, facebook, hashtagged it. I've had an ex-friend who I had to remove because she "shared" a review she put on yelp for this really ritzy steakhouse directly onto her facebook page and tagged people to read it. It was the most self-serving shit I've ever…

The worst is the kind of people who are not there to write reviews, but to brag. It's like, "Okay, I'm from Malibu and how dare you do this to me, I am a person who has gone to this restaurant and this restaurant and spent this much and I drove in with an Audi, and I had my clients fly in with a jet and I usually…

What do you think happens to people who are sexually abused? Do you think they come out happy and sunshines? Is it weird that they will be mentally unstable?

there is no one definition of 'masculinity.' but a lot of people - here, including you - think there is. that's the problem. not masculinity itself, because it means nothing. Masculinity does not mean physical power and bloodlust as much as feminine means sewing and being gentle.

I think I feel connected to her somehow because I tried really hard to find my own style by various experimentation with odd makeup and clothes and I got so much hate from people who didn't even know me and immediately said I was trying to hard. I might have been, but I was 19 and I wanted to find something positive…

I don't separate it because I can't. I understand you but Roman Polanski is not just an 'asshole,' he is a rapist. I can't bro down with someone who I can't leave someone's kid alone with.

Everyone else in hollywood - would be a slight exaggeration, as I have read the whole list - even though close. Also, I don't understand how people can separate art from the artist in this case and say it as if it's a distant matter without actually thinking about what they are saying. You are socially and also…

I love her style, she gets slut-shamed all the time and that's unfortunate. She has said multiple times that it is her personal style and she is not telling people to dress like her, but rather, dress like yourself, dress like what you feel. She is clearly aware in the interviews that dressing a certain way is never…

Even though I agree with everything you said in theory I kind of hate you for writing that - I personally *can* afford my cat who I adopted from Mexico, but I don't feel like being smug and high and mighty to people who committed to giving the best care for a pet only to find, years later, that it has become…

Shouldn't we also acknowledge that Wes Anderson is a Roman Polanski supporter and even signed a petition to bring him back to the US?

I'm actually Korean - but I identify with American culture as my own & my boyfriend was born and raised in America but lives half of the time in Tokyo now and identifies with Japanese culture strongly. I do think that we basically agree.

"You can't just take a culture or aspects of that culture and make it your own."

Acting is a talent, no doubt, yet the majority of the actors and actresses who we tout as amazing do not have that talent. Yet they are still every bit as famous because they are pretty. So how are they different from Kardashians? There are not that many talented actors and actresses in Hollywood, at least not ones…

yet we can say the same about most models, don't you think? and actresses.

I'm sorry! I agree, I've had enough Jezebel for today. Getting accused of hating gays just because you didn't like one person who happened to be gay will seriously do that to ya. Now I'm automatically sensitive. I'm off now to hug a bowl of ice cream :(

Oh fuck. I totally thought you were trying to twist my words and tell me that I hate him for being gay, cause that's what the poster above accused me of.

I know that kind of morally conflicts in our minds, but would it be so bad to try to get one good thing out of this incident that eradicated every trace of happiness in your life? Maybe that isn't the first impulse we think of, but we wouldn't know, we've (hopefully nobody here) never experienced our daughter being…
