It is absolutely an individual choice. But I don’t think that pointing out that literal actual poison is not good for you is an irresponsible position to take. :)

Do you expect a study like this to tailor itself to every individual? Of course it’s on a global scale. Read the study instead of basing your assumption from a line Jezebel quoted.

Right? There is nothing to “make”of this beyond another sexual harasser protected by their shitty friends. Being female, queer, feminist or Jewish doesn’t preclude anyone from being an abuser. And any person of any gender is entitled to file a Title IX claim. This isn’t rocket science. I am also annoyed the article…

Etched in the crystal section of my memory is a moment forty three fucking years ago* when I was visiting my mother in Palo Alto CA. The purpose of the visit was for her to get to know her first grandchild at age 5 months. We were out at lunch, and Baby wanted to eat as well. I excused myself and rushed to the Ladies…

My “favorite” are the guys who complain about women breastfeeding in church. My man, if a woman feeding her child drives you to such distraction then you should do as the good lord says and gouge your own fucking eyes out (Matthew 5:29-30, for those interested). Too extreme? Then just mind your own damn business.

From Jason Isbell:

I’m trying to get sober right now. (It’s very, very new. Like, a couple days. Like, this is the first time I’m talking about it, online or IRL.) It sucks, and I admire Demi Lovato’s years of sobriety, of course, but also her honesty about her recent relapse. I hope she recovers from her OD and makes her way back to…

NEVER EVER THREATEN MASCARA AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE THIRTY-FOUR YEAR OLD MOMS ARE NOT ONES WITH THE MONEY OR TIME FOR EXPENSIVE LASH TREATMENTS. BE CAUTIOUS!

It’s almost like different people view the meaning of symbols differently or something. I can actually see how individuals feel both ways which is a sign that we should mind our own business and let people do their thing.

Well, why is that mother malnourished? Could “protecting, promoting, and supporting” breastfeeding include improving her health? If she’s malnourished because she’s incredibly poor, how is she paying for formula.  If she’s in an impoverished area (especially outside the US, but let’s not exclude Flint, Michigan…

The thing that’s always stood out for me (and made his behavior during nipplegate predictable) is that he’s such petty trash. For example, he can’t resist taking a swipe at Britney even though they’ve been over for almost twenty years and I don’t see her giving him the time of day. That behavior is always the tip of…

Him dressing up in plaid and dancing around in a prospector’s tent will never not annoy me. It’s not even the worst thing about him, but he looked like such a city-boy in (bad) country-boy drag.

This is such nonsense. As a high school teacher, former teenager and mother I cannot fathom how completely out of touch and deluded Jada Smith can possibly be. Like, almost devastatingly out of touch. This is the same mother who defended her adolescent daughter lolling around with a nineteen year old in bed too. When…

Something has really been bugging me lately.

“It is indeed another story about a woman whose problems are, in the grand scheme of things, slightly miniscule.”

Schneiderman was a strong AG who did a lot to help women find justice, AND he was an abusive, garbage piece of shit. Both of those facts are true. Not every abusive man is going to leave a legacy we can dismiss. Life is a lot messier than that.

You fled the US when you found out you would be sentenced for the sexual assault of a minor. Don’t you dare bitch about the law, you unrepentant rapist.

What is up with that letter? I don’t get it. When Lena Dunham pulled the same nonsense, “Oh that guy didn’t sexually assault anyone because he’s my BFF,” she was rightly called out. But 60+ female employees at NBC thought it was a good idea? Why?

When I was little my mom used to remind me, “There are reasons for most of the rules,” and because I took a sort of religious position of not believing in any rules whatsoever she’d offer examples. The one I remember best is, “Married people shouldn’t cheat — not because of laws or the state or the church, but because…

Brokaw has been married to Meredith Auld since 1962 and was never accused of sexual harassment until now.
