As a cultural artifact I can maybe see the point of it. In fact it would be funny if a garment designed to subjugate women became a fashion statement for those women.

So behind Carson’s beard is what exactly?

As a Muslim woman who has never worn hijab and never will I don’t really understand this. Isn’t covering up supposed to prove your modesty and keep you from attracting attention? How does a crystal embellished tent do that? Just one of the many ways in which religious people pretend to follow tradition while doing…

“Thats a long conversation”

Leia looking at Han. You two were the happily ever after prince and princess of nerdy girls everywhere dammit. *Sob*

Do toxic stingray tails really play a part in your ancient culture? That is awesome! I’m imagining a platoon of brawny guys whipping stingray tails in synchrony.

It seems like a feel good thing mostly. Professional women from Beyonce to Benazir Bhutto have retained their names without society falling apart so I don’t understand the opposition.

Considering the falling birthrate Japan ought to be bending over backwards to accommodate women who want to be working mothers. But the patriarchy never sleeps I guess.

I understand that as a parent. She would have gotten more sympathy if she’d just said she’s lost touch with her daughter and misses her.

Pretty hard not to project when every third word reminds us how much the mother is giving to the child. Financially and emotionally.

Damien was the name of a priest and saint of the Catholic church who worked with lepers. Apropos of nothing but it’s sad the name is known more for a creepy kid than a good man.

Probably, but unless he voluntarily sought help I doubt anything could be done about it.

Could somebody please explain to me how mental healthcare is supposed to prevent incidents like this? This guy was a contributing member of society until one day he wasn’t. Are people going to face mandatory sanity checks to find out if they’re about to go on a shooting spree?

Apropos of nothing, Algerians seem to be very attractive people.

Dear Inner Diva. Please replace all future references to ‘I’m so tired’ ‘I’m bored’ and ‘I got three hours of sleep last night’ with “I was having a sleep moment.”

Duh. It’s Barbados, that’s where she’s being held. Have you seen the old churches there? It’s like a set for a creepy movie.

The lady failed to mention that an Islamic traditional marriage could include a husband and 4 wives. If he decides to divorce one of them for any reason he simply has to announce his intent thrice and boom: Done.

Oh please. Let’s not pretend Ms Ahmed speaks for all muslims. If she wants to be one of a party which shares some of her beliefs while simultaneously hating her for them, more power to her. The rest of us like our abortion privileges and our gay kids just fine. Because, you know, we are living these lives.

They’re not actually reacting to her singing to them but I imagine it goes something like this when she does.

I like how it’s spreading to cover the eyeglass lens completely. Oh and that’s a snail.
