That's completely correct. The comments section on this article is trying to paint teen pregnancy as something that just happens to you that you shouldn't be blamed for, but where I grew up - one of the poorest, shittiest areas of California - 60% of the girls in my freshman class had babies by senior year, and they…

If I remember correctly, Emilia Clarke doesn't do nude/sex scenes anymore, so that puts a wrinkle in that.

Oh thank god. I was so not ready to have to pretend that woman is a brilliant charismatic superstar again.

Unsurprising. I had a professor in college who was a dead ringer for Charlie Day (funny as hell, too), and half the girls in the department had some sort of embarrassing crush on him. The funny thing is that no one ever wanted to admit it, but at one party we started playing fuck/marry/kill with different teachers and…

Fun., that band of civil war re-enactors with a pop sensibility,

Well, they left out that Lysa roofies him before their wedding night, so he did kind of have a reason to hate her in the book. Then again, if everyone who got raped on the show went around killing their rapists, there would be like three characters left and one of them would be Ser Pounce.

I've been a pretty active user on Reddit for years, and I like it. There's a lot of great content and thoughtful users on there - I've learned a lot about science and history, gotten into calligraphy, indie makeup, and knitting, and found the /r/curlyhair community, which pretty much saved my hair. If you avoid the…

Speak for yourself. I'm all about a skinny pale man.

I really like it. I'm not a big fan of the fantasy genre, so it took me a while to really get into GOT, but I stuck with it because the action scenes were so good and I liked a few of the characters, and I'm glad I did. I'm the type of person who always likes to secretly root for the villain, and the show is so full…

As someone who grew up in Bakersfield, I can tell you that there are parts of town where stray dogs just roam around attacking people with impunity. I couldn't go out running in high school because there were just random pit bulls in my neighborhood who would bite the shit out of you if you got within their eyesight.…

Look, I'm speaking as someone whose father is a detective in the narcotics department of a major city's police force, so maybe I'm a bit too close to the source material and have heard too many stories about what cartels and angry dealers will do to anyone who mildly inconveniences them (all part of my dad's campaign…

Yeah, I'm going to disagree with that. A good mother, in a real-life situation, would have gotten her kids out of the house and gone into witness protection as soon as she found out her husband was a meth kingpin. A good mom wouldn't have swallowed her objections "for the good of the family" and helped said husband…

You're being too rational. I think the answer here is that we should just ban ice cream trucks.

Haha yes because all Eastern Europeans are backwards morons thank god for the west and their perfect shining example of democracy and equality to teach these peasants a lesson!! Do you know OBAMA lets the gays marry???

I feel as though if any other female celebrity had said that "I don't trust women who don't have female friends" quote, everyone here would be praising it, not critiquing it. I see variations of that line with 100,000+ notes floating around the feminist side of Tumblr constantly. Oh, Jez commenters, your fickle…

I went to school with twins named Shy'ann and Shanna'leigh. I don't like to throw around the term "white trash," because it has some unfortunate class and socioeconomic implications (and I grew up in a trailer park so I can't throw stones), but... that family was not going to make it into any Social Registers, if you…

Yeah, I feel you. Try living in Midwood. I spent three years either being yelled at by Hasidic men over my clothing OR having them try to solicit me from their black SUVs. After the fourth or fifth time of a guy leaning out of his car on Avenue J to ask "How much, lady? How much?" I basically lost my shit. I couldn't…

I'm one of those "other ethnics" as well - Russian and Chechen, so white by most Western peoples' standards (at least ethnically), but I have darker olive skin and dark features, and am usually read as Latina or Middle Eastern. (Plus a whole mess of extremely curly hair, which complicates things further - if I had a…

... Um, I'm Russian and Chechen, so literally Caucasian. The Chechen side of my family does not identify as white, because race and ethnic dynamics in Eastern Europe are different than they are in America, and we're fairly recent immigrants. I've had enough people assume that I'm Mexican or of Middle Eastern descent…

Oh my God. She wasn't deprived of an education. She chose not to go to college despite having had all the resources and opportunities in the world to do so.
