What? She is having lots of fun, it just may not be your kind of fun. Some of it is self-destructive, but no more than other young women who have been objectified and are asserting their control over their bodies, and really, partying at that age comes along with drugs. Don't write her off for being adventurous. I…

The toochiepants showdown was awesome, but then I knew it was her time to go. What silliness. I still don't understand why they got rid of the Native American girl, she was gorge too.

Can I just say whoa! Raven and Azmarie? Hot! Go Raven. Yes, I still watch ANTM. *hanging head*

I think we are in agreement, no? Family planning is about more than birth control, it's also about respecting your health and your body. I would add Catholic/evangelical religious teachings to the conservative mitt clones (mine??? lol) as contributing factors.

Well, I guess I don't know how they can draw that conclusion when sex ed and abortion (regardless of "policy") are simply not available in many places. And I suppose that many of the girls do want kids, but I question whether they are acting on free will or being coerced by larger forces. It ends up not being the…

"few policies actually affect the teen birth rate: abortion policies don't do the trick, but neither does sex ed." Oh really? I think if abortion were more widely available and considered less shameful there would be a lot fewer kids born to teenagers. The combination of religion and poverty keeps a lot of these…

I love Regina King. Ever since 227.

You make a good point. Although there is less historical racial baggage, there is other baggage.

The tension between the prez and Olivia is soo good. It's actually romantic, instead of tawdry. Also loved the storyline about the soldier, and the LGBt stuff. Good actors too. There is a lot to like about the show. What I don't like is how they all have to talk like they're on the West Wing, but I'm getting over…

Ooh, I'm going to have to watch me some Homefront.

why isn't this considered #bodysnarking? You guys are so inconsistent.

Oh, but people really do think it's their business, and it's politically charged, for sure. But some people also make stuff up about other people to make them look bad, or make assumptions about how they identify because of how they look. So - I'll believe this when I see it.

oh snap. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............

After all the criticism I joined in with, I actually kind of like the show now. It's the marketing that's annoying. She didn't do anything wrong, given her limited experience. Still, all the POC characters so far function as a greek chorus, no one is authentic and real - and she's not the only writer now. So even…

Also, why put that word on one of the few black women in the photos? I kind of expect more from the editors, esp. when the commenting police have really tried to set a different tone.

nicely done.

What's kind of sad is that this spokesman couldn't point to any other minority professor! That's the true crime. And now Scott Brown is trying to make her look bad because of it. Personally, I would think it's annoying if she used it to gain any benefit, but that wouldn't keep me from voting for her, cuz she's…

Yes! Especially after last week's critical thinking about hipster racism that was really challenging and progressive. WTF? I feel like there's been a lot of shade thrown towards Latinas on this site, and I don't understand it. Really, would this kind of coded commentary be acceptable in any other (non-Latina)…

I was like why is there a picture of Ricky Martin cooking?

I think lots of times the nanny state creates these incentives because it's lazy about investing in public health and information campaigns. But for now our culture keeps telling girls that their parts are mysterious and/or gross, hence the bribery. What sucks is that for girls/women living far from ob/gyn offices…
