Because VAGINA. All women have VAGINAS and are basically walking VAGINAS and all men hate VAGINA but also desire VAGINA and anything featuring VAGINA is automatically feminist because womanhood = VAGINA. There, now no one has to ever watch a Catherine Breillat movie.

Thanks! That sounds awesome, I’ll look into it.

If, after you’ve paid you’re debt, you try and live a quiet life being a decent citizen and not trying to hurt anybody, then I believe you should be allowed to move on from your crime.

“Did she just do a double rather than a triple?”

Good theory but, I can confidently say (with the unavoidable help of multinational broadcast imagery) that her ass is not so large now.

That’s why a friend puts a combination lock on let’s say the handle of a teapot and only tells the person the combination after the other person has sent a picture that proves that the item arrived intact.

That’s what I suspected. For you guys who suggest “violent revolution,” it’s not really about oligarchs, or lobbying/political power in the hands of the .0001%, is it? Rather, it’s about punishing anyone who’s eking out a better life than you.

To be real, if the hamster is small enough to be flushed down the toilet, it is probably small enough to just be hidden in her carry-on bag.

I can literally think of 15 other things she could have done that did not involve harming let alone brutally and painfully killing a living being. The animal could have lived and the selfish sociopath could have still made her damn flight. Let’s be honest here, she was lazy and thought this was a quick fix. So she…

Or found an arriving passenger at the gates who would take it. If someone approached me with a little rodent after I arrived from a flight, I would certainly take it if it’s fate was flush or freeze.

I just don’t understand why she couldn’t call a local animal rescue to pick it up. Even if her plain was leaving... they could leave it at ticketing or customer service until they arrived. Surely it had a little carrier.

Quite likely. Fetal alcohol syndrome wasn’t recognized officially until 1973, and prior to that the more severely affected on the spectrum were probably just considered intellectually disabled without further categorization. Those on the spectrum but who don’t have full blown FAS might not even have been recognized at…

There are twin studies where one fraternal twin is born with FASD and the other isn’t, suggesting that it’s true that genetic susceptibility varies.

That language is the definition of problematic for exactly the reasons that ElephantShoe described. Women should not be defined by our ability to bear children, and it was a mistake for the CDC to release any instruction implying that all women of child-bearing age are responsible for kids they may not even want.

But then there are younger women who aren’t helping the cause in any way either, such as Lena Dunham. There will always be women, young and old, who defend and even reinforce misogynistic behavior; if anything I think that today’s young women with such beliefs are simply more savvy about expressing them (or not…

This whole comments section is a shit show. Jez is fucking terrible now.

i think its appropriate those guys call themselves alphas, because we all know that the alpha version of software is the incomplete, buggy first run that is refined later and made functional by iterative improvements.

And the thing that depresses me the most is that the mainstream press don’t call him out on it. They write like there is some sublety that no one can perceive to his actions.

My mom used to name her dogs after wines. She broke the streak with the newest bc he “just looked like a Toby”

I started babysitting at age 13 in the early 1990s. I freaked myself out so many times, just being young and into reading horror fiction, and staying at houses on the outskirts of the small town where there were fewer streetlights. So I have many overactive imagination stories, but this is one I still wonder about
