Great post. If I can add a corroboration, I was born before the MMR was available, and my mom caught rubella while she was pregnant with me. I am what happens when you avoid the MMR vaccine.

I’m going to just repost what I said yesterday over on Gawker’s article. I’ve highlighted the part that any anti-vaxxer reading this should pay close attention to.

My Scooby is a toe biter. If any toe is out of the covers and it is breakfast time then it will be bitten. She also touches my arm with her paw like, “hey lady, are you dead? It is time to feed me.”

Emily will bite the hand that feeds her if it doesn’t get out of bed and fill the food bowl by 5.

I just got the Hourglass ambient lighting powder in Dim, and OHH MAN do I ever love it—- so soft, so delicate, so pretty, so blendable. I want another in their powder series, like a blush or something.

I think you could argue though that that’s the whole crux of the matter. In 1950, you could successful argue “But a dude needs to support his kids and wife” but it’s *never* been “A woman needs to support her husband and kids.”

“Why do you always talk about girls in such graphic terms?”

Hey what’s that line when Channing Tatum says something like, Dude why you gotta objectify women like that?” I die.

one of the best movies ever made

I am 25 years old and this is STILL MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME. I don’t know the lines to any other movie besides this one. I can probably recite the whole thing. It is fucking HILARIOUS and we can’t be friends if you disagree.

not to mention, not all men are like that, and it’s insulting to imply that. in fact, them being insulted is actually worse than the harassment in the first place!

Ugh when will women just STOP existing?! Don’t we realize how much valuable time we are wasting for men by forcing them to not only harass us in actual every day life but now they have to harass us online as well?!

Indeed - just another disgusting thing about this whole system. I remember a while back watching a documentary about polygamous sects, and they were interviewing teenage boys who had been sent into exile. The boys were living in a group home run by a man who had himself been thrown out of the community years before. I…

This. These communities exist solely for a small group of old men to rape and enslave a bunch of women. The majority of the boys born will never get married, but shunned because they serve no purpose for the higher ups.

Maybe it’s more like, “Mary, did you see how unkempt little Harriet’s hair is? It is proof that not only is her mother a sinner, but that Harriet is destined for Hell’s fire as well!”

I was just thinking, “ok, apparently fish-tail braids are SUPER TRENDY in the fundy Mormon sect this season.”

My husband (from Korea) is here to explain. The mother explains to the happy couple (Chloe is in Korean traditional wedding attire) that she’s sorry she and her husband don’t have a lot of money to help them start their lives together. The groom-to-be says no matter, we can start from the bottom (my husband says he…

I knew this guy in college... douchey wingnut, wore Confederate flag t-shirts, etc. Not very bright. Whenever he said something stupid, there would often be someone there to make some scathing, sarcastic comment back that was essentially making fun of him... and he would laugh along because he had no idea his idiocy…

with pleasure!
