you hear that old white gay men who probably survived the stonewall riot and aids and are now defending a dying subculture against heterosexual gentrification? Your complaints have been written off as white privlege on an Internet blog. I think that means you've made it.

It was both racist and classist. The school justified it by saying her grandmother didn't pay restitution- because we totes know it's appropriate to press criminal charges against a 12 year old because her family doesn't have an extra $100 laying around.

It's all around gross.

Here is the NYT article: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/11/us/…

I know right? Everyone knows it's not "gay" if you're thinking of chicks while you're kissing. DUH.

totally agree, the young and the lesbian got to be steamy. The man on man was a joke and the older people got a kiss on the hand.

It'd have been great if the man-gay one had been, you know, heartfelt, too.

In the other direction, I was once given "The God Delusion" for Christmas. I was fine with it ... until I realized that the gift-giver was under the impression that I was a devoted Christian.

I thought everyone had the hots for J G-L? Everyone here on Jez does, anyway.

I keep thinking that of course these friends and the accused have reasons to deny what happened - the article made them look bad, so now (as they're being asked point-blank "did you tell your friend not to report her rape?" "did you rape that woman?") they're denying it... but... I just don't know anymore. I'm not…

Yeah the ultrasound tech didn't do that. No one outside the psych ward can do that. I don't think you understand how this works. Even as a psychologist I cannot "commit someone to drugs". The psychiatrists at the ward make that call. Even her OB-GYN or whatever doctors she saw cannot determine what treatment she would…

Not really, this isn't typical behavior for a person with Asperger's. They might get obsessed with the idea of pregnancy and read up a ton of stuff on it and focus on pregnant women etc., but distorting reality is a sign of mental illness, not Asperger's.

The first paragraph isn't necessarily the go-to place to cram every piece of information that could conceivably be relevant.

Asperger's Syndrome doesn't cause delusions, isn't really a mental illness, and would have nothing to do with her having pregnancy symptoms.

Tudor England, not Victorian England. Mary reigned in the mid 16th century while Victoria reigned for much of the 19th century. So Tudor-era fart joke or 16th century fart joke. As an aside, this courtier has nothing on William Shakespeare, the undisputed champion of fart and sex jokes of 16th century England.

My best guess would be that at some point in the next month or two, when she has to change her delusions because at 7-8 months it will be obvious to even her, she'll have a "very heavy flow" and be utterly convinced for the rest of her life it was a very late miscarriage caused by all the mental anguish she was put…

If they were more like Beyonce's back-up dancers/band. She has assembled together mostly women and if a media outlet wanted to do some press with them, I'm sure they'd have to jump through hoops to clear it due to contract stipulations, they would more than likely be able to speak about their time touring with…

The thing with cultural appropriation arguments is that everyone feels differently about it so it's hard to nail down exactly what's ok and what's not. Personally, I think it would have been one thing if Gwen Stefani had collaborated with Japanese musicians and artists and created a cool hybrid thing where everyone…

Here are a few basics:

I think the line is: she took lovely Japanese women, renamed them: Love, Angel, Music, and Baby and as far as I know, these 4 women never did interviews, sang, or spoke to American media. Now, the girls and Gwen may have had the BEST TIME EVER doing all of this but it just LOOKS bad. It's like.. say Lady Gaga decided…

I was already at, "This dude is hilarious." Now I'm at, "This dude is a hilarious feminist."
