It always blows my mind that Gloria Steinem is Christian Bale's stepmom. Not to take away from any of her accomplishments, just... just always blows my mind. Talk about random connections.

The icky thing about this is that Cosmo's prime readership is made up of girls in high school. If there's one thing teens don't need, it's a step-by-step to getting knocked up in the backseat of their boyfriend's Mazda.

An eight-year-old with a bowl cut is "condoning sexual immorality"? I... I just can't form words.

Agreed. I tend to treat all of these online stories about "bullying" as made up unless explicitly proved otherwise (i.e., video or I was there). Everyone on this site seems to be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that this definitely happened, exactly as the author of the rebuttal describes it. "Vain small-mindedness" is the perfect…

Former barista here: No. We hate it when you do this because we genuinely want to get your order right and avoid getting yelled at by you and/or our managers. When you say "large coffee with cream," we can be REASONABLY sure that you mean a grande Pike Roast with regular old cream, but there is no way of being certain…

Not to be flippant, but this is exactly the face I found myself making while reading this.

Honestly, as a makeup geek and person who does something pop-culture related for a living, I feel like putting together collections based on various movies would both be my dream job and something I'd be really good at. (I.E., I'm still bemoaning the lack of two Urban Decay palettes as a tie-in for Catching Fire - a…

I did the same thing as a kid. I was totally obsessed with Gilda. However, I am blessed/cursed with super curly hair that just kind of made that shape naturally whenever my mom took a brush to it (she had pin-straight hair and no idea how to deal with curls) so I didn't really get the dramatic effect I was hoping for.…

I'm talking about Frozen, not ASOIAF.

In other news, I'm 98% sure Sophie Turner and Natalie Dormer were the character models for Anna and Elsa. I can't unsee this anymore and it's gonna be so distracting when the show comes back.

I agree with Lena, honestly. Going through Woody Allen's work looking for references to pedophilia as proof that he's guilty (which, for the record, I 100% think he is) is just a little too close to when schools were suspending/expelling innocent kids for writing violent stories and what not. Lots of normal people…

I try to be as aware as I can about the different types of privilege I benefit from. Given that there's nothing this commentariat likes more than learnin' someone real good about their privilege, I figured it'd be a good place to pose that question, since I hadn't really thought of it in depth before. Sorry your…

For what it's worth, I have pretty medium-sized breasts (34B, if it matters) and I've never actually encountered any weirdness about them. I don't get "Hey, nice tits!" hollered at me on the street (that honor goes to my ass, which is much larger), I never got teased in gym class or theatre dressing rooms, they don't…

Ditto. If you FEEL empowered in a niqab, awesome. Good for you. But the people who say "It's empowering, not oppressive!" seem to take the experiences of the happy ladies an apply it to everyone, even those who are in sharp opposition to them. And that needs to stop.

So when a pop star says that they're not a feminist, the online response is a prompt "What an idiot! Of course you're a feminist!" But when they turn around and say "Actually, you're right, I AM a feminist," y'all are like "You're not a feminist. You can't sit with us." (And when they start out proclaiming their…

Particularly gay men. The fact that Jezzies can all agree that homophobia is bad, but holding down teenage girls to saw off their clitorises is a "rich cultural tradition" that can't be criticized, really makes my head spin.

Mostly for acting - JLD has won twice now, and Tony Hale won last year too - but none for writing, which baffles me because the writing is SO strong.

We're sensitive because ignorant people like OP and half of the mainpage Jez staff insist on writing these stupid fucking articles about issues in Eastern Europe without knowing anything more than "Soviets bad, Putin bad." It demonstrates an unwillingness to learn anything about the region or its culture/people. The…

I feel you. He's an evil little shark but I'm here for it.

Why doesn't Veep get more credit for being hilarious and awesome? Having interacted with the cast, I can tell you that they are all delightful and wonderful human beings, and the writing on that show is so phenomenal. (And for my money, Jonah is one of the greatest drop-in characters on any sitcom ever. I love to hate…
