1.) The more research we do, the more apparent it becomes that gender as defined by roles is an almost entirely societally constructed concept, just saying. The "need for gendered role models" is not a need, it's this thing society makes up in order to perpetuate relatively consistent gender expectations from…

Comtesse! Thank you for posting it so that I didn't have to! Have a free kitten gif!

CONGRATULATIONS YOU GREW UP IN THE 90s or late 80s! Ya want a fucking stamp?

Or, you know, there could be the terribly socially awkward girls in the male-dominated Comp Prog/Data Struc/whatever classes who love-love-love D&D and everyone else is like "why the fuck haven't you moved on to WoW and League yet you geeky little shit" and it's like "because I like D&D????" Or the girl who's…

Logically I don't think this will work very well, because I'm sure most of the parents are either absentee and don't give a shit or will be so STUNNED to realize that Little Xavier is making life hell for another kid every day and will refuse to admit it and MIGHT EVEN blame it on the bullied child.

Thank you. I hate how proprietary people get over their favorite authors. I love GRRM and the universe he's created, but.... Jesus, he has a fuckin' life.

Jez... I get this is a celebrity gossip site, but honestly: after all these articles about concern for teenage girls and the concern-trolling thereof etc etc etc, could you maybe have skipped this one Paris Jackson item this one time?

Politically speaking he's the best we've had in the Executive office, ever, gay-rights-wise. Maybe your gay friends supported him because our other options ranged from the exact same to basically "fuck the gays, they don't need rights"?

This is an issue close to my gay, gay heart but jeeeeeeesus. Don't go after the First Lady for something the President does/does not do, because it then becomes not about your issue, but about how the First Lady handles your interruption. (And how offensive would it be if a male heckler jumped up at the male spouse of…

Again, I recognize this. My aunt was a practicing RN for many years & I'm an organ donor. I know this and it's terribly unfortunate that so many people believe this myth.

I know. My aunt was a practicing RN for many years and she'd get pretty furious whenever she'd hear about that. It must be terribly insulting for you to have to deal with that myth.

God, this is awful.

As a homosexual person I've heard that argument be used to try to justify everything from pedophilia to bestiality and beyond (not saying being an otherkin or something is on this level, just giving examples), and it just no longer rings true for me. Homosexuality has existed at least since Neanderthals (thanks, cave…

Certainly. But I think that among people who DO NOT think they are elves (99.999999% of the universe) we can stipulate that elves don't exist on this plane.

And my grandmother will tell you that Barack Obama is the Antichrist. Just because someone (or a lot of someones!) believe(s) something in the private universe of their own brain does not make it so for the rest of us.

This gif is delightful and entirely accurate. Props.

Because black people exist and are indeed people, and elves, to our knowledge, don't and aren't.

To be fair, if you feel like you should've been born a cat or an elf, I'm not quite sure I understand any more than I do if you feel like you should've been born to a different ethnicity. (But with the former I do encourage you to do what makes you feel you. With the latter I think there's some deep sociological…

I am always willing to discuss fabulous suits on fabulous women.

Oh. Alright then.
