I just want to highlight this passage for anyone who skims or just jumps to the comments. Because truer words.

Jia,

fuck off

I mean, if I made a list of the movie stars I find hottest, there’d be a group of men there who have a lot in common and a few outliers, and my friends can reliably guess that the guy in a group who I’ll find cutest will be the skinny one wearing glasses. If you rounded up all the dudes I’ve screwed or lusted over,…

I’m with you. When I was much younger I thought I had a type, but when I look back on all the women I’ve been fortunate enough to date (or “date” as the case may be), it’s a pretty diverse crowd. I think sometime in my late 20's I realized that my type was “women who like me.”

It’s not offensive or worthy of condemnation. It’s just funny. It was funny three girlfriends ago. If a friend of mine dated ten 6 ft., brown-haired guitar players in a row, I would mock her too. You would think in all these years he would meet and fall in love with someone outside of his very narrow type.

If you lined up my husband, exes, and celebrity crushes, you would change my name to Leonarda. They all look alike. Even I think it’s ridiculous, but I can’t help it.

Even if I did have a type like Leo does, I’d probably try something different after nine consecutive failed relationships with that type.

Omg, Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid must have imprinted on my developing brain + Keanu Reeves on my hormonal pre-teen brain. Every guy I dated was Caucasian and lean with dark hair, pale skin, big brown eyes. There’s even a picture of me with my Kindergarten crush who matched this description. If my husband ever…

So you’re saying you want to date someone with similar hobbies to you, such as weight lifting.

Also, the acting awards that didn’t go to POC went to geezers, which warmed my old lady’s heart.

That headline made me positively giddy.

Check out my username, dipshit.

How am I as a feminist supposed to respect people from India, or Saudi Arabia when women routinely get stoned for acts their husbands perpetrated, for daring to want to drive a car, or because they don’t want their clits cut off because it makes them ‘dirty’.

There are lots of women (and men) in Pakistan working to change things. Would you want America judged on its most sensational news stories and backwards citizens? Those stories are not our daily lives. Things like this outrage many Pakistanis, too.

I wish I could phase out of reality for a few decades and come back and take a US history college course to see how this year is remembered.

Does it say what the average jail time is when looking specifically at people convicted? Since the vast majority of rapists aren’t even tried, of course any time in jail will be more than most of them. I’m interested in how his case fits in the context of other people found guilty.

You are correct, i hadn’t paid attention to the things the father said because i ignore, by default, what parents (and most of the times, friends) say, as they are unreliable and biased. After reading what he said, it’s pretty bad.

Repeating what I said on Gawker:

Also Ferguson shoving Krakowski/Eponine away. I was a goner (gone-er?)
