Why not? Why do we insist on the whitest, least interesting, least confrontational, blandest journalists? You don't break great stories by being the least offensive, dispassionate possible. Journalists should be unbiased, not emotionally dead. As it is we're one step away from just having something like Siri read…

Don't go the the Gawker version of this article, either. It's either racist bullshit or all about how stupid stoners are. Jez is the last bastion of sanity on the internet, I swear.

You would think the same libertarian fedora-wearers who troll with racism would give her grudging respect for being pro-liberty or whatever, but NOPE GUESS RACISM IS MORE IMPORTANT.

"Never. Read. Youtube. Comments."

Repeat after me:

OMFG THIS LADY IS MY HERO.

I mean, hair color and race aren't really comparable, and a lot of the time, it's worth considering why things that we think are just preferences exist. Like me, for instance; I used to say things like "I'm just not attracted to black women," but when I sat down and thought about why I said that, I realized that I…

Since dating is not a democracy, it's not racist to have a preference for a person of similar background. But... when people say stuff like "I don't find Asian men attractive," I have to wonder, did you really need to communicate that shit to me? It's called an inner life — that's where you put those thoughts you…

Are we really going with the word "racist" to describe dating preferences or attraction? Clearly in many cases these preferences are the result of historical and contemporary attitudes towards men and women of different races and ethnicities. That's an important discussion to have. But I'm so uncomfortable with the…

This shit reminds me of some of the hideously intrusive way supposedly liberal or progressive jounalists and bloggers indulged in grotesque speculation about Sarah Palin's last pregnancy during the 2008 election. Remember that crap? Fuck, it still makes me so mad, and I detest Sarah Palin. Fuck those motherfuckers for…

I know Wendy Davis SAID she had an abortion, but we're gonna need a man to verify that for us. Maybe two or three. Can we just get a couple of men to support this woman's stories about her own personal life? We just need a male perspective on this so we can really be sure it happened. Anyone?

And there, my friends, is a single microcosmic example of why American women will never vote Republican.

Yep, admitting to having two abortions in a red state is totally known to be a winning campaign strategy. That bitch!

First you stop teaching science in schools. Then you trumpet personhood and call women who get abortions murderers. Then you criminalize miscarriage. Then you have assholes who know nothing about how reproduction actually works declare themselves in charge of both regulating it and explaining it to the idiot…

Perfect example of why Republicans in Texas will twist their ideologies and reasoning every which way to be the exact opposite of Democrats, because they think that's what the people want.

Only Mr. Siggins knows the truth about his alleged journalism credentials . We simply do not know the circumstances of Dustin Siggins's supposed credentials, education, or basic humanity.

Horne noted that "it is extremely rare — if not non-existent — for a woman to have an abortion because the pregnancy posed a risk to her life.

I tried to read that article last night and got to the third paragraph, when his terrible writing forced me to NOPE right out of there. Glad I didn't miss much.

"It would be disturbing to think that she may be using her abortions as a way to gain political favor with Democratic voters," Horne added.

"Horne noted that "it is extremely rare — if not non-existent — for a woman to have an abortion because the pregnancy posed a risk to her life."
