If you're acting like a bitch, I'll call you a bitch. And by that, I mean being underhanded, passive-aggressive, regular-aggressive for no reason, treating your peers like they're your subordinates, trying to start "drama" while proclaiming how much you "hate drama," or just generally instigating fights all the time.…

** Someone has written a wonderful response to the Arizona bill and published it under George Takei's name. Which is just as nice, but let's be accurate. Y'all know he doesn't write his own content/manage his own page, right?

I honestly just don't have a lot of patience for people who think that their opinions alone are the deciding voice on what is, and isn't, "real art." I get nothing from ancient Greek and Roman sculpture, but I'm not out here saying "That's not art, it's just a bunch of butts, I've seen better likenesses of people at…

In this comments section: people who don't understand that there are other types of art besides pretty paintings of ponies and Jesus.

That's exactly what I always aim for as a writer as well. I mostly write about female characters, just because it feels organic to me (writing men is fine, but there are enough interesting male characters in the world already, I don't need to add to them), and some of them are straight-up awful people. Some of them…

Okay, so now can we please stop defending this literal bag of trash because Michael Fassbender also allegedly punched a woman once?

It is feminism that allows female characters like Claire, Cersei Lannister, Skyler White, etc. - female characters who are written in opposition to men, but with motivations and personalities outside of their relation to those men - but I don't see a need to discuss to death whether each new Important Female Character…

God. Former skater of 12 years here, and those nude boots just gave me a traumatic flashback.

Yep. They also take forever to break in, so if you're switching between two or three pairs, that's going to hurt.

It's intended to extend the line of the leg and make your elements look more visually fluid, since the white skates cut you off right at the ankle (kind of like how a short person looks taller in jeans than capri pants). I go back and forth between liking the effect and thinking it makes you look like you've got…

This outfit is my everything. She looks like a Jazz Age spiderweb.

The men are definitely crashing. They're just not getting injured as much.

For what it's worth, my class studied Malcolm X in sixth grade. Did a whole unit.

Russian woman in NYC here - you're not too far off the mark. Russian men want a traditional Russian girl, but most of my female friends don't want to marry men like their fathers (nor do I). I've dated one Russian guy, but he was also a progressive feminist who hated the gender role nonsense, and it was a very equal…

Sunscreen and a vitamin C serum, every day. Also, get yourself a retinoid prescription from a dermatologist if you can. I have the palest skin known to man (my people are Siberian, we don't really need melanin when you get four hours of daylight during the winter) but I've been super vigilant about my skin all my…

Eh, I was raised to be a stickler for punctuality, but I feel like constant lateness is rude when it's among friends and straight-up offensive in business. It's especially rude when other peoples' livelihoods depend on you having your shit together, you know? Like, I don't know what you do for a living, but it…

EGR writes fucked-up things all the time, though. It's gotten to the point that if I find myself reading an article and thinking "Who the shit wrote this goddamned piece of garbage?" in the voice of an old-timey newspaper editor, I scroll up and it's inevitably her. (See also: PMDD isn't a real disorder; selfies are a…

There was a good Rolling Stone profile a couple years ago that touched on a few of your questions (it was while she was in the thick of it with Chris Brown, too, so there's some interesting stuff about that), but it really left me with the impression that Rihanna is cool and fun but a massive pain in the ass to deal…

I have zero opinions on who Kanye West should have a relationship with. Kunis is just a good example of a famous woman who is well-liked, comes from a similar ethnic background as Kardashian (Ukrainian vs. Armenian; similar skin tone and looks), and wouldn't cause the same media scrutiny/scorn that he was complaining…

When you're taking advantage of the system for your own profits, you're still hurting the millions of women who aren't making millions of dollars from it. My feminism isn't about praising women who are doing the same exploitative things that men do.
