The people complaining are not so much squeamish ninnies as totalitarians who would like to see all evidence of Palestinian humanity censored in the US.

Yes, I was wondering about that. The adult goats on the farm next door have been baa-ing like mad for the last week. They sound really distressed, but it's not the same kind of distress as when they get their heads stuck in the fence. So now I know; this is the time of year when the kids are taken away and the males…

As a lifelong thin person who eats far too many sweet things, I applaud your "fuck you". I have fat sisters who eat less and exercise more than I do. I have fat friends who sleep far less and achieve far more than I do. It is very, very obvious to me that it's far more complicated and varied than simply self…

People I know laugh and roll their eyes at the manipulative use of the term "professional" and "professionalism" by those who are trying to get them to work for no pay. In this case, using the term "professionalism" to blame the object of the insults is particularly egregious: you can't get any lower and less…

Could you elaborate?

Thank you. I was wondering about that.

Oh my lord, that video was amazing. Can anyone tell me where all that pus lives under the skin? Whenever I squeeze a good blackhead I wonder where it was all hiding.

Brilliant! It's so good to hear that the medical profession (or at least the part of it where your brother is studying) has noticed the need for doctors to be professional, and is doing something about it.

Yeah! "Sex policing"!

I dunno. "Sex shaming"?

I would love to visit a doctor who didn't seem convinced of his/her superiority and infallibility, and who used language such as "I think" or "I believe" or "I feel like". Nobody is omniscient and it reduces my faith in doctors when they seem to believe that they are.

Or "three a.m. in the morning"

No, the decades of infanticide and the assaults on women stem from the same horrible attitude towards women and girls. The assaults do not stem from the infanticide.

"Europe" is an awfully broad, vague term. Europe is home to many, many catcallers and worse.

That's tricky. I presume you don't want to hear "you need to wear a bra" or "show us your gash", but "fuck me!" might be ok. You probably don't want a car full of men following you down a deserted street with one of them leaning out and telling you in graphic detail what he'd like to do to you, but "hot thighs!"…

That's because they haven't had the misfortune of being chosen by a stalker. When people are followed and harassed and terrorised and sometimes murdered, it's usually not because they're important.
