Is the video upside-down or did I eat the wrong brownies for breakfast?

I don't understand how Magic Mike qualifies at all as the female gaze. The female gaze isn't having some naked men, it would be having naked men doing things the majority of women actually found hot (instead of things men think women think are hot), and having the identity of the default viewer be a woman. But it's…

Channing Tatum looks like the banjo playing kid from Deliverance, grown up and w/a gym membership.

When I was 19 I was a witness in a GBH trial.

I would, frankly, love to see her on the other side of the witness stand. She strikes me as a woman who doesn't take shit from anyone, and I have so much respect.

I'd be in for $100.

Many African Americans think that if we could only make ourselves conform to White American cultural/appearance/speech norms somehow we'd get racist White folks to stop hating us.

Problem - while I can understand that wish (and I've felt it myself at times) that's not really true at all.

To the George Zimmermans of this…

The assumption that she's dumb just kills me. She speaks three languages - Spanish, Creole, AND English. But oh, her English isn't great, and she's a fat WoC - bring out the hairshirt and force her to wear it!

Thank you for this. I'm a woman who has been gaming for over 20 years, and I have never felt truly welcome in Kotaku's comment threads. I'm looking forward to a bit of a change.

I think the change is incredibly important. I'm bisexual and have many gay and transgendered friends who are nervous/scared to post on gaming sites. The verbal abuse they endure when they are open about their sexuality in online gaming communities is "brutal" and ridiculous. I wish more companies and communities were…

To people complaining that these new policies might result in their "jokes" being censored, I have an easy solution: write better ones.

I was there. It was amazing. The noise leading up to midnight was deafening. No riots from where I was and I left about 2am central time and it was really quiet. So let's keep up the noise on social media! Tweet! FB! Flood tx senators pages with support and your disapproval!

Allies! Actually allying! Awesome!

Bingo! It's not just the grades, but personal qualities and life experience that admissions boards consider. Sounds like she was okay with grades (though not spectacular), and sorely lacking in other areas. Had she a 4.0, maybe she could've gotten away with being otherwise lackluster in life, but as is, it was "let's…

Thank you for saying this! I'm very selective about who I sleep with but it has zero to do with conventional attractiveness. And even if it did, that's my choice. No one owes anyone else sex. If Skelatron thinks they are so amazingly unattractive physically, the annoying, entitled self pity isn't going to help them…

Oh yes, I agree. I think there is a very dated notion that is still presented in modern pop culture for some reason - so the rom coms are perpetuating it.

As Anne Lamott put it, The piece of shit around which the world revolves.

The writer seems to have little or no understanding of how alcoholism, or how AA works. Alcoholics can no more learn how to become moderate drinkers than gay people can learn to be straight. Doesn't happen. AA has helped millions, maybe hundreds of millions of people get and stay sober. Are there sexual predators in…
