Really? I don't think you have to reach too far beyond Sara Baartman. Especially when the "theme" is an ancient African culture. Especially when you're talking about a bitch who showed up painted like a geisha less than a year ago.

Isha, while I appreciate the focus brought on this hashtag, I think you're extremely wrong to characterize "everyday misogyny" as somehow distinct from the misogyny which fueled Rodger's machinations and eventually his killing spree.

No, it's not a needed phrase, and no, "bitches" do not need "controlling."

I think that if you're going to include any kind of store in a memorial site it should be limited to educational material like books. And this is more in response to the article, but the idea that a memorial / educational space should cater to a tourist's entitled desire to take something away in connection to what…

Political and social development, unfortunately, does not happen in a linear fashion. The way we learn history, things are always improving or getting better - but the hard-won rights of Indian women could easily be swept away by retrograde judges or fanatical religious parties.

It's also worth noting that marital rape…

Restaurant workers get paid nothing, and it is criminal. I waited tables 20 years ago and the waiter minimum wage was $2.13, and it still is. Relying on tips is not good, especially since you get taxed on 15 percent of your sales if you make it or not. Long past due as far as I am concerned.

First of all, I'm saddened to hear this news - my condolences to the Warrior's wife & daughters in this hard time.

Ahem.

I can't speak for Petchesky (or any of my fellow Americans), but I love our rivalry in hockey mostly because I love Canada. You folks are awesome, you have a beautiful country, and you make great beer and music (Bieber/Nickelback aside).

Imagine being a Canadian and having to deal with the constant BOMBARDMENT of the American media pumping American hubris. We have to deal with it everyday. You can live with 2 weeks during the Winter Olympics.

"'Snow?' Pfft. I can think of about a million different words that apply to that slop better than 'snow.'"

But the bright side is that you are now the American sports journalist who was banned from the 2014 Olympics for online pics of you yanking off your knob.

White people look the same.

I'm pretty sure Mirai Nagasu felt that way after Wagner fell twice at the national championship and still made the team and she didn't.

Obviously the only person who put a needle in my sister's arm was her. But there are SO many places where societal, healthcare, and legal systems set her up for such an outcome and did nothing to help her find her way out.

Actually, I'ma let you finish.
