Agreed...connections are a part of pretty much any industry. Hell, I'm trying to get a job as a public school teacher and I have to network and get in with people who can help me get a job. I would say that building connections and meeting the right people is actually PART of working independently and getting oneself…

I really don't get why people try to compare this to murders that happen on, say, the streets, or crime-related murders that might occur more amongst minorities or lower income areas. Its obviously not the same. This was a MASS MURDER carried out by a (visibly, even) messed up kid. I don't really think anyone is…

Wow, you must lead a pretty sad and lonely life.

Good use of the Steubenville example. I HATE when people start in with the whole "TEENAGE GIRLS ARE SO NASTY TO ONE ANOTHER OH GOD THEY ARE JUST SO MUCH WORSE THAN BOYS" because honestly, in high school I saw so many silly/pointless fist fights between guys that escalated pretty quickly. But no one seems to mention…

I always thought the whole rhetoric of "if you have sex on the first date he won't call again" just didn't make any sense at all, for a variety of reasons, two of the main reasons being that if he doesn't call you after sex, then he doesn't seem to be a very nice guy worthy of a relationship ANYway, and the other…

This is why this article is utterly confusing. I thought Lily Allen was a feminist, obviously not writing philosophical feminist manifestos all day long, but still a celebrity who didn't put up with the bullshit in the entertainment industry. Its like she totally switched her ideology.

There is no bitchiness in that write-up, just genuine disappointment. Also, how in the world is that picture bad? She looks perfectly fine. Try again.

Lily Allen is making absolutely no sense and to be honest she's coming across incredibly ignorant and dumb. The reason some women are competitive with one another is because we're taught that the highest achievement is being the object in the male gaze, and we are to constantly seek male validation. This means women…

Yeah, in my experience, the sweat mixed with the deodorant is what gave me stains. Normal sweat doesn't really permanently stain, of course, at the end of the day you may have a wet spot but once you wash it, its fine. But using commercial deodorant just kills my clothes. Not only does it stain but it literally alters…

Yeah, I know its a common thing to say, but I always hated it when people say the one being cheated on was "humiliated" or "looked like a fool." Its not about being embarrassed or looking dumb, its about the betrayal of a (monogamous) relationship.

Are the sweat stains bothering you? I used to ruin so many clothes because of sweat stains. Like, seriously ruin and destroy shirts, dresses, you name it. I switched to organic deodorant from Lush, and it doesn't leave any stains AT ALL and furthermore it actually works. Trust me, I live in Miami and ride my bike…

Agreed. Having them hold these signs just doesn't feel right to me.

What are you talking about? Was Kim Kardashian sexually abused at this event? No, she wasn't.

NO ONE said she deserved that. But to throw around the term victim-blaming for someone who has such wealth and control is ridiculous. This whole story is just so absurd on all counts.

How in the world is this "classic victim-blaming"? You mean a reality television star with an abundance of wealth who does anything to get attention in the public sphere is a "victim"? She made the public decision to be an escort to make some more cash. You using that term so casually ends up weakening what it…

There are some other comments on this article actually saying "well I GUESS it could be possible." I just....what? No.

No matter what someone thinks when it comes to discipline and childhood behavior, I think its a good example to compare it to hitting an adult and asking why its okay to hit a child yet its assault to hit an adult. That is enough right there to make me think badly about spanking.

I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't think its a good thing, but is saying that's how society views it. Which is very damaging.

Welcome to third wave feminism.

I think the second letter got lost in translation. I mean, I wouldn't sit around going "that's not very feminist of you :) " at every single choice a friend makes, but I do have a lot of friends that get obsessed with guys and relationships in a rather compulsive way, and its hard to watch them plow through guys and…
