I don't think it matters how often you fight but how you end a fight and if your communication strengthens after them.

Oh god, I forgot that responding to a comment would do that. Shit. I didn't even read the rest of the thread before responding, but I said the exact same thing :P There is no comparison between rape jokes and koala infestations, FFS.

I believe kittensandrainbows is the one who told me that it was impossible for him to be misogynist, and that he is in fact a far, far bigger feminist than I could ever be, because he has a "very feminist job," whatever the hell that means. I find it hard not to laugh whenever I see his comments after that.

Thank you. I don't understand the urge to wear one's fundamental lack of empathy like a badge of honor. It doesn't make you funny or edgy, it just makes you an antisocial bully. And antisocial bullies have existed since the dawn of time, so you're far from a cutting-edge provocateur.

Oh nooooes, looks like I missed the ***TROLL***PARTY***! Oh well, there's always next time.

It makes sense to me. He's trying to play both sides: satisfy a liberal audience, but then switch tacks in such a way as to leave the liberals shrugging and make the racist audience think he was joking in the first part. He's a trickster businessman, having his cake and eating it. A vile coward.

"I just don't think that people should edit or cater their material to protect people's feelings."

Can we just rewind to last year and decide that Daniel Tosh never actually made a "rape joke"? He responded with violence to a who he perceived to be a heckler, but someone telling a person that their gang rape would be funny is not a joke. It doesn't matter if people laughed...well, actually it does because people…

Lindy, hon, I love you. I genuinely do. If the internet were the real world, I think we might be friends. We don't always agree on issues, but I respect your spunk and your humanity. You promoted my question on your juicing article a while back, even though it was late to the comments party, and I choose to interpret…

Which part of feminism do you despise? That part of feminism that campaigned for the vote for women? Or for the right for women to own property? The part of feminism that campaigned for equal pay for equal work? Because well into my mother's career it was still legal for a woman to be paid less than a man for doing…

I'm continually surprised by the amount of pride people seem to have in their inability to feel any empathy for anyone else, ever. And their unwillingness to consider other people's feelings, ever.

I get what you're saying, and I have a bit of a knee jerk reaction to being alone in a room drunk with a (drunk) stranger-man, but we don't have segregated elevators. So long as the door I think it would be fine. There is a place in NY that has individual stalls off of a central room with a trough-like sink, and the…

Also, the whole "marketplace" logic just doesn't hold up, because life isn't a fair marketplace. Women and men are not given equal opportunities and exposure as comedians. People of color are not given the same opportunities and exposure as white comedians. If it were a true marketplace then these assholes would be…

I was fully expecting a bunch of "Okay, but"s roughly 5 or so minutes after the piece went up (and srsly? That's a long article. Must be a bunch of speed readers in these parts to have full, long, "well thought-out" rebuttals up that fast. WE LOVE READING.) I wasn't disappointed. I mean, I was disappointed, but I…

I don't think I understand your point. Are we, or are we not allowed to criticise comedy that we don't like? Can we not like it for any reason, or only reasons you approve of? Can I say that I found Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffanys really offensive, or should I say it's bad comedy, or should I say I don't…

It's probably a 50 First Dates kind of situation where they wake up every morning thinking it is the day after that article was originally published in 2007. At least it is in my head.

Yeah I'm not sure the brain is working correctly with Eternal... or maybe they are a kid or something? There isn't much critical thinking going on there.

It's like he didn't even stop to consider for a second what he was saying. He starts out making fun of segregated prom, noting that to the rest of the evolved world, integrated prom is just "prom." But then he goes on to make a two min sarcastic tirade illustrating how foolish it would be to integrate (or in most of…

I can't be the only one...that show was on for TWO YEARS?!
