That’s a good — and fair — way of putting it. David Bowie is one my favourites, too, although I guess that’s a bit obvious. ;=)

Gulp. That last sentence made me do a double-take. Poor you! Especially since you probably had to “save up” to buy the album.

I’m sorry - no pass on her rude ass behavior even if she’s Kate Moss.

Oh it’s sooooo funny when privileged pretty rich white women do stuff that’d get the brown guy on the plane beat up and arrested!

Yeah, I count myself supremely grateful that she disappeared completely from our lives when I was in 9th grade. I don’t know how she would have dealt with her aging and my puberty/adolescence. She was the prototypical evil stepmother - so nice to us leading up to the marriage, and afterwards around my dad, but rotten…

I’m really conflicted here.

Wow, maybe my stepmom married your dad after mine divorced her. I can still hear her telling me when I was about 7 that my laugh made her sick. She left when I was 12, thank god, or I don’t know what else she would have done - she’d already hit me on the head with the coffee pot. Once she got mad over some childish…

the plot line definitely offends some people, and I get that, people don’t want to watch such a graphic, well-acted violent rape of a favorite character. And maybe they don’t like that Diana chose to go there with her story. But the fact is, she did, and she defends her decision well by making this, as you said,…

I finished watching it a few hours ago and I’m still processing everything. It was hard to watch. And while the main argument for displeasure with it seems to be that a lot of it was unnecessary or gratuitous (and I totally get that though that isn’t my complete view)...my overall feeling is that...I’m glad that they…

Exactly. I don’t get why everybody’s denying that this is very much a thing. I have mostly female friends but we’re at a crossroads, I find, because most of them are raising children and their schedules get incredibly busy. I get quite lonely sometimes, and I’ve decided to expand my friend circle a bit, but that is so…

All this talk about “Big Bad White Feminists” is completely dismissive, patronizing, and infantilizing of the majority non-American, non-White women who ORGANIZED this march (and personally invited Ms. Steinem to serve as an honorary co-chair) and the majority non-American, non-White women who participated in this…

Ms. Steinem was invited to participate in a peace walk organized by a committee made of mostly of Korean women activists, with the larger group comprised of women activists and Nobel Peace Prize laureates from Liberia, the Philippines, Colombia, Zimbabwe, Japan, Australia, and an Indigenous activist from Guam, among…

It’s SO bad! They talk about our ancestors & achievements like children who try putting square pegs in round holes. And 1 episode in particular it’s like “ what’s more likely that Elijah was carried to heaven in a fiery chariot or that he was abducted by aliens?” NEITHER! Aliens didn't build the pyramids, they didn't…

I literally find ancient aliens offensive to us as a species & our ancestors. I HATE that show. Fuck off with your crazy hair you stupid Greek bastard (if you watch the show you know who I mean). That guy would blame aliens for finding a phantom turd in the toilet.

Personally I’m waiting for the day that some of these kids become adults and we find out that the network producers and staff knew about the abuse and neglect going on but did nothing. When these kids grow up they should sue the hell out of them.

Duck Dynasty is on A&E, so not exactly their fault. But there is Jon & Kate +8, but I don’t think they did anything hateful/harmful to others, just douchey.

MadCowGirlv2, thank you for verbalizing some of my frustrations with GoT. Like you, I’ve read all of those books, and they have just gotten completely derailed...geez, Sansa and Ramsay? They don’t wind up together! Which bothers me....because Little Finger is the most manipulative scheming Bastard in the Books, and…

He was a fantastic Brutus on HBO’s Rome. And a sympathetic one at that — no easy feat.

It’s absolutely rape. When you’re consenting to marriage, you’re not consenting to all sexual situations at all times with the person you married. And - sorry if this seems like I’m picking on you - the fact that people are still asking questions like this is an example of why I think the scene wasn’t sexist and in…

This is exactly why I didn't report. I had sex with my rapist on a few occasions after he raped me because I thought I was claiming some control and maybe the rape would fade away behind these other encounters. Friends begged me to report but I knew I'd be dead in the water.
