Y'know, it kinda bugs me that the response to the insane image of women in the media (and resulting body issues of half the female population) is to say, "Don't worry girls, you're beautiful too! No matter what you look like!" Plus-size models are good, but pushing for "fuller" beauty standards are still pushing…

Can't we get rid of beauty pageants in general? Really what do they offer the world?

She's actually known for the fact that most of the time she rocks stylish pumps. Except when filibustering.

This comment is AMAZING.

I'll just never get why straight people are so god damned concerned with gay people and gay sex.

Why are the kids from Sixteen and pregnant here? I think any progress they would make with a counselor would be immediately undone by the other trainwreck couples?

It's like somone's stupid cousin at the Oreo factory bought the machine that squirts two different flavor/colors of filling at the same time, and so now they have to keep coming up with nasty ways to justify the purchase of the machine. Otherwise stupid cousin Dwayne will get canned, and no one wants to have to help hi…

I know a lot of adopted parents who either choose a name for their child that works in English AND the child's birth country/culture language, or they leave their birth name as a middle name, which I think is a nice middle ground.

We will not have true equality until everyone is free to hate everyone else for who they really are, not because of race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation.

I actually went to the page and she was responding to people's comments that first night. She really didn't understand why people were upset that she used the term "lynch mob" and I was like wow, I used to read her books way back when. No more. She went hard for Paula who she doesn't even know so my thought was…

Are... are those weeping angels... dancing?

Coming from someone who dated a stripper, this logic makes sense.

But to actually be treated like an object by someone you give a shit about sucks. Because people don't give a fuck about objects really. If you ignore your toaster for a while, you expect it to still make toast when you come back... without making it…

I didn't see any sculpted-by-Michelangelo dudes up in this piece. Somebody should tell this "artist" that actual art's an equal objectification opportunity game. Horses, dogs, boats, trees, nature scenes, scenes with ancient gods in the form of ducks getting down with ladies, dudes, ladies, fruit, cherubs, Jesus,…

subtly ridiculing

Whatever.

Oh, man, this requires too much thought for 3pm. I haven't seen the video, and I can't really take a peek at work. I will say that placing a woman in a "power" position becomes moot when said power is derived directly from her sexuality/looks. That's like saying, "porn doesn't objectify women...look, that woman is…

"If thousands of people — including the star of the video — can interpret it as merely degrading and/or titillating, another sexist NSFW video amongst a sea of sexist NSFW videos, can it really be subversive?"

He did a Metro interview recently:

No no no, silly queer lady, men are PEOPLE. And there is no one whose ducted-taped nipples I would like to see less than Dr. Drew.
